Core Viewpoint - Despite low nominal economic growth and subdued prices in the second quarter, A-shares have experienced a rapid rise, driven primarily by liquidity rather than fundamental economic improvements. This phenomenon is likened to a "water buffalo" market, where stock prices increase without corresponding improvements in economic indicators [2][6][7]. Group 1: Financial Cycle Perspective - The analysis suggests that understanding the recent stock market trends requires a shift from traditional economic cycle perspectives to financial cycle perspectives, as China has undergone significant financial cycle adjustments in recent years [7][6]. - Historical experiences from the U.S. during the financial cycle downturn, particularly post-2007 subprime crisis, show that stock markets can rise even when economic fundamentals are weak, driven by changes in private sector balance sheets and government policies [3][20][29]. - In contrast, Japan's financial cycle adjustments in the 1990s were less effective due to delayed policy responses and persistent debt issues, leading to weaker stock market performance compared to the U.S. [30][31]. Group 2: Current Chinese Market Dynamics - Since the fourth quarter of the previous year, market confidence in China's medium to long-term economic outlook has improved, particularly with the emergence of DeepSeek, despite ongoing adjustments in the real estate sector [4][10]. - The share of real estate in China's economy has significantly decreased, reducing its negative impact on overall economic performance, while policymakers have shown increased attention to economic and market conditions [4][52]. - The macro leverage ratio of the Chinese government has increased from 71% in 2022 to 88% in 2024, indicating a more restrained approach compared to the U.S. during its financial crisis [44][59]. Group 3: Risk Appetite and Market Behavior - The recent rise in A-shares is attributed to a decrease in equity risk premiums, with market participants showing a willingness to shift from safe assets to risk assets, particularly equities, as the perceived risks of economic downturns diminish [9][10][57]. - The correlation between government policy responses and market liquidity is highlighted, suggesting that increased fiscal and monetary policy efforts can enhance market sentiment and support stock market growth [29][59]. - The current financing and margin trading levels in A-shares are approaching historical highs, indicating potential for further market expansion if policy measures to address debt and improve balance sheets are intensified [64][65].

Group 1: China Market Focus - Extreme weather has led to a decline in manufacturing sentiment, with the manufacturing PMI for July at 49.3, down 0.4 points from the previous month and 0.7 points below the five-year average [13][12] - The political bureau meeting in July emphasized the need for macro policies to "continue to exert force and increase strength" to address structural economic issues [12] - The manufacturing PMI's decline is attributed to high temperatures and heavy rainfall, affecting production and demand, while price indices have shown a significant rebound due to anti-involution effects [13][12] Group 2: Stock Recommendations - Covos (603486 CH) is focusing on expanding its robotics core components and manufacturing project, with an expected annual output of 20 million key components and a projected revenue exceeding 1 billion yuan [21] - Zhaoyi Innovation (603986 CH) is positioned well in the AI era with its customized storage solutions, benefiting from trends in high bandwidth and low power consumption, and is expected to gain market share in the DRAM sector [21] Group 3: UK Market Focus - The UK economy is showing signs of risk, with GDP growth in April and May falling short of expectations, and a potential for two more interest rate cuts this year [31][29] - The UK stock market is facing structural challenges, with high international exposure and a strong pound affecting corporate earnings, while sectors like defense and utilities may perform better [32][31] Group 4: India Market Focus - India's economic growth is projected to slightly decline from 6.5% to 6.2% in the fiscal year 2026, with risks stemming from a slowdown in rural recovery and industrial activity [46] - The Indian government has approved significant defense contracts, with Hindustan Aeronautics (HNAL IN) expected to benefit from a substantial order backlog, indicating strong growth potential in the defense sector [51][46]

Group 1: Recent Market Trends - Recent market trends show significant net inflows from institutional investors [6]. - Retail investors are also accelerating their inflows as market profitability accumulates [7]. - Conservative funds may be passively reallocating due to the rising market heat and the strengthening narrative against "involution" [8]. Group 2: Market Duration and Sustainability - Historical data indicates that "water buffalo" markets, characterized by a divergence between fundamentals and liquidity, typically last no more than four months [9]. - The potential for the current market to evolve into a longer-lasting bull market depends on subsequent improvements in fundamentals [9]. Group 3: Investment Opportunities - Two categories of low-valued stocks to consider include: 1. Low attention stocks that may rebound due to "anti-involution" narratives, such as leaders in polyurethane, LED, polyester, electronic components, titanium dioxide, synthetic resin, semiconductor precursors, and aviation [11]. 2. Other low-valued cyclical stocks, including leaders in aerial work platforms, rubber, oilfield services, paper packaging, containers, and the lithium battery supply chain [11].

Group 5: Market Health and Earnings - A healthy bull market should primarily be driven by earnings growth rather than mere valuation increases, as indicated by the "water buffalo" market being the least sustainable [15]. - Data from July 25 shows that major indices have seen significant price increases, with the majority of these gains driven by valuation rather than earnings [16]. - The indices that represent new productive forces, such as Hang Seng Technology and China Internet, show healthier and more sustainable growth patterns [17].
