Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - In the short term, domestic economic data is mixed with positive policy signals, but corporate earnings have not significantly improved, so the short - term rebound of stock indices should be treated with caution; the Fed's rate cut is settled, but the threshold for further rate cuts next year is raised, so gold's short - term rise is still a rebound. In the medium to long term, the valuation of stock indices will be dragged down by the decline in corporate earnings growth, and the support mainly comes from the recovery of risk appetite, so stock indices will maintain a wide - range oscillation; with the fading of uncertainties in US tariff policies, the potential easing of the Russia - Ukraine situation, and the narrowing of the Fed's future rate - cut space, gold may face a deep - adjustment risk [37] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Macroeconomic Data - In November this year, imports increased by 1.9% year - on - year, and exports increased by 5.9% year - on - year, with the growth rates accelerating by 0.9 and 7 percentage points respectively compared to last month. CPI rose by 0.7% year - on - year, with the increase expanding by 0.5 percentage points compared to last month. PPI decreased by 2.2% year - on - year, with the decline expanding by 0.1 percentage points compared to last month, mainly affected by the increase in the base of the same period last year and the decline in some industrial product prices [4] 2. Stock Index Fundamental Data - With the marginal weakening of the "two new" policies and the early release of demand for durable goods such as automobiles, home appliances and mobile communications, the profit growth of related industries has slowed down. Downstream enterprises still face great operating pressure and are in the stage of active inventory reduction. The balance of margin trading in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets rose to 24888.31 billion yuan. The central bank conducted a total of 6685 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations this week, achieving a net investment of 47 billion yuan [14][16] 3. Gold Fundamental Data - The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected in its December meeting, announced to buy $40 billion of short - term Treasury bills per month, and the interest - rate dot plot maintained the prediction of one rate cut next year. The 10 - year US Treasury yield declined slightly. The warehouse receipts and inventory of Shanghai gold futures slowed down, and the inventory of New York COMEX gold continued to decline, reflecting a cooling of market bullish sentiment [21][22][36] 4. Strategy Recommendation - In November, imports rebounded slightly and export growth accelerated, mainly due to the low - base effect of the same period last year and the increased pre - Christmas stocking demand. CPI rebounded for two consecutive months, while the year - on - year decline of PPI expanded, mainly dragged down by the price decline of related industries such as building materials and chemical raw materials. In terms of corporate earnings, driven by policies, the prices of new energy and non - ferrous metals industries rebounded, which is conducive to the improvement of the profits of upstream raw materials processing industries. However, the marginal effect of policies on large - scale equipment renewal and consumer goods replacement is weakening, and the profit growth of related industries of durable goods has slowed down. The domestic policy side has released positive signals, but corporate earnings have not significantly improved, so the stock index may fluctuate in the short term. The Fed's rate cut and related policies have led to a decline in the US dollar index and a short - term rebound of gold [37]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights the continuous appreciation of the Chinese yuan against the US dollar, with both onshore and offshore rates breaking through 7.08 [1][3] - The People's Bank of China announced that the central parity rate of the yuan against the dollar was set at 7.0796, an increase of 30 basis points from the previous trading day, with a year-to-date increase of over 1000 basis points [3] - The main reasons for the yuan's appreciation include a strong adjustment of the yuan's central parity rate and better-than-expected export performance, which has boosted market confidence in the yuan [3] Group 2 - Analysts expect the yuan's exchange rate to remain stable, with limited volatility against the dollar, and do not foresee a rapid appreciation above 7.0 before the end of the year [4] - There is an expectation of continued resilience in the yuan due to high cross-border capital inflows and strong willingness to exchange currency, although short-term fluctuations may occur due to factors like purchase quotas [4] - A forecast suggests that the yuan may experience moderate appreciation by 2026, assuming no unexpected changes in export performance [5]

Core Viewpoint - The offshore and onshore RMB exchange rates against the US dollar have both surpassed the 7.09 mark, reaching a high not seen in over a year, driven by a weak dollar environment and strong domestic equity market performance attracting foreign investment [1] Group 1: RMB Exchange Rate Dynamics - As of November 25, the central parity rate of RMB against the US dollar was set at 7.0826, an increase of 21 basis points from the previous trading day, with a year-to-date increase of approximately 1000 basis points [1] - Analysts attribute the recent appreciation of the RMB to two main factors: the continuous adjustment of the RMB central parity rate towards a stronger direction and the unexpected growth in exports, which has boosted confidence in the RMB [2][1] Group 2: Future Outlook - The RMB is expected to maintain a strong performance in the short term, with key factors to monitor including the US dollar's movements, the adjustment of the RMB central parity rate, and the effectiveness of domestic growth policies [2] - The potential for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and the impact of US tariff policies are likely to limit the upward movement of the dollar index, while the RMB is expected to remain stable with limited volatility against the dollar [2] Group 3: RMB Exchange Rate Indices - As of November 21, all three major RMB exchange rate indices showed an increase, with the CFETS index at 98.22 (up 0.39), the BIS index at 104.66 (up 0.5), and the SDR index at 92.6 (up 0.34), all reaching their highest levels since April 2025 [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term: Due to the marginal weakening of domestic economic data and the need to digest external negative factors, the stock index will enter an adjustment phase from high - level oscillation; the hawkish speeches of Fed officials have further dampened the market's expectation of a December interest rate cut, and the short - term rebound of gold may continue to adjust [44]. - Medium - to long - term: The valuation of the stock index will still be dragged down by the decline in corporate profit growth at the molecular end, while the support at the denominator end mainly comes from the recovery of risk appetite, and the stock index will maintain a wide - range oscillation in the medium term; with the fading of concerns about the uncertainty of US tariff policies, the easing of the Russia - Ukraine situation, and the narrowing space for further interest rate cuts by the Fed, there is a risk of a deep adjustment in gold [44]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Domestic and Foreign Macroeconomic Data - From January to October this year, real estate investment decreased by 14.7% year - on - year, with the decline expanding for 8 consecutive months; infrastructure investment decreased by 0.1% year - on - year, turning negative for the first time since September 2020; manufacturing investment increased by 2.7% year - on - year, with the growth rate slowing down by 1.3 percentage points from the previous month, hitting a new low since February 2021 [6]. 3.2. Stock Index Fundamental Data 3.2.1. Enterprise Profit and Capital - In October this year, the scale of new loans and social financing declined significantly. The year - on - year growth rate of broad money supply M2 was 8.2%, and that of M1 was 6.2%, down 0.2 and 1 percentage points from the previous month respectively, and the gap between them widened again [19]. - The balance of margin trading in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets slightly declined to 24724.55 billion yuan. The central bank conducted 1676 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations this week, achieving a net investment of 554 billion yuan [23]. 3.3. Gold Fundamental Data 3.3.1. Interest Rate and Inflation - In September, the number of new non - farm jobs in the US was 119,000, far exceeding the expected 50,000. Many Fed officials made hawkish speeches, expressing concerns about high inflation, and the call against further interest rate cuts is rising. The yield of 10 - year US Treasury bonds is running at a high level [28]. 3.3.2. Inventory - The warehouse receipts and inventory of Shanghai gold futures are slowing down, and the inventory of COMEX gold in New York is continuously decreasing, reflecting a cooling of the market's bullish sentiment [39]. 3.4. Strategy Recommendation - The economic data in October this year generally weakened, with the year - on - year decline of fixed - asset investment expanding, industrial production slowing down, and the growth rate of consumption declining marginally. In terms of enterprise profits, there is a differentiation among different industries. The decline in profits of upstream raw material processing industries has narrowed, while the profits of high - end and equipment manufacturing industries have maintained rapid growth. However, due to weak terminal demand, downstream enterprises still face great operating pressure [43]. - Considering that the GDP in the first three quarters increased by 5.2% year - on - year, there is no pressure to achieve the expected annual development target, and the necessity of further strengthening macro - policies at the end of the year has decreased. Influenced by the continuous slump in the external market, there are concerns about the bursting of the technology stock bubble. With the marginal weakening of domestic economic data, the market expectation is gradually returning to reality, and the stock index may enter a phased adjustment in the short term [43]. - The minutes of the Fed meeting released hawkish signals. Many officials are concerned about high inflation and need to be cautious about further interest rate cuts. It implies that without sufficient evidence of an unexpected decline in inflation or continuous weakness in the labor market, the Fed may suspend interest rate cuts at the December meeting. Due to the shutdown of the US federal government, the November non - farm payrolls report has been postponed to December 16, meaning that there will be no new employment data for the Fed's December meeting, and the market has further reduced its bets on a December interest rate cut. In the short term, the internal differences within the Fed on future interest rate policies have increased, and the call against further interest rate cuts is rising, pushing up the US dollar index and the yield of 10 - year US Treasury bonds, and gold has come under pressure again in the short term [43].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese yuan (RMB) has strengthened against the US dollar, reaching a one-year high of 7.0908 on November 14, driven by a weak dollar environment and strong domestic equity market performance attracting foreign investment [1][2]. Exchange Rate Trends - On November 14, the RMB/USD central parity rate was adjusted up by 40 basis points to 7.0825, with a year-to-date increase of approximately 1000 basis points [2]. - The RMB has shown a consistent upward trend against the dollar throughout the year, starting at 7.27 and experiencing a low of 7.42879 in April before rebounding as the dollar weakened [3][4]. Future Outlook - Analysts predict that the RMB will maintain a strong position in the short term, with potential to test the 7.0 mark against the dollar, influenced by a weak dollar and seasonal demand for currency exchange [5]. - By 2026, the RMB is expected to experience moderate appreciation, supported by a favorable external environment and domestic economic stability [6][7]. Economic Factors - The RMB's strength is attributed to the anticipated acceleration of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and the impact of US tariff policies on the US economy, limiting the dollar's upward potential [4][6]. - Domestic policies, including the introduction of new financial tools and local government debt management, are expected to stabilize the economy and support the RMB [4][6]. Market Sentiment - Market analysts express a cautious optimism regarding the RMB's ability to break the 7.0 barrier, with some projecting a year-end rate closer to 7.0 under baseline scenarios [5][6]. - The potential for a new appreciation cycle starting in 2025 is also highlighted, with expectations for the RMB to reach levels between 6.70 and 6.80 by the end of 2026 [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - In the short term, domestic policy has released positive signals, but corporate profits have not significantly improved. Therefore, the short - term rebound of stock indices should be viewed with caution. As the Fed's October interest rate decision approaches and the expectation of an interest rate cut this year has been digested in advance, and the situation in Russia and Ukraine is unclear, gold is likely to continue high - level volatile adjustments [36]. - In the medium to long term, the valuation of stock indices is mainly dragged down by the decline in corporate profit growth at the molecular end, while the support at the denominator end mainly comes from the recovery of risk appetite, including the intensification of domestic counter - cyclical adjustment policies and the easing of international trade frictions. Stock indices are expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation. With the concerns about the uncertainty of US tariff policies fading, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East easing, and the expectation of an interest rate cut by the Fed this year being fully digested, there is a risk of a deep adjustment in gold [36]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Domestic and Foreign Macroeconomic Data - In the third quarter of this year, GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year, 0.4 percentage points slower than in the second quarter. From January to September, fixed - asset investment decreased by 0.5% year - on - year, the first negative growth since September 2020. Industrial added value increased by 6.2% year - on - year, the same as last month. The total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 4.5% year - on - year, 0.1 percentage points slower than last month [4]. Stock Index Fundamental Data - In September this year, the scale of new loans and social financing rebounded, and the gap between M1 and M2 further narrowed, reflecting that financial institutions have continuously increased credit support for enterprises. The A - share market was active, and liquidity remained abundant [17]. - The balance of margin trading in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets slightly decreased to 2426.377 billion yuan. The central bank conducted 867.2 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations this week, achieving a net investment of 78.1 billion yuan [21]. Gold Fundamental Data - The US federal government was in a shutdown, causing some economic data to fail to be released on time. There were differences within the Fed regarding future interest rate policies, and most officials supported a further interest rate cut this year. The yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond fell below the 4% mark [27][28]. - The warehouse receipts and inventory of Shanghai gold futures continued to soar, reflecting an increase in the demand for physical gold delivery and high market bullish sentiment [34]. Strategy Recommendation - In the third quarter, GDP growth slowed down, and fixed - asset investment continued to decline, mainly dragged down by the expanding decline in real estate investment and the slowing growth of infrastructure and manufacturing investment. With the improvement of weather conditions and the arrival of the peak construction season, industrial production expanded faster. Affected by the high - base effect of the same period last year, the growth rate of consumption slowed down marginally. The foundation for China's economic recovery is not solid, and the characteristics of strong production, weak demand, strong service industry, and weak manufacturing industry are still significant, with insufficient demand remaining the main contradiction [35]. - The communique of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee was released, proposing the main goals of the 15th Five - Year Plan and requiring continuous and timely strengthening of macro - policies. A new round of China - US economic and trade consultations will be held from October 24th to 27th, and the market expects positive progress in the negotiations. With positive signals from the domestic policy side and eased concerns about China - US trade frictions, risk appetite has significantly rebounded, but the short - term rebound of stock indices should be viewed with caution [35]. - As the Fed's October interest - rate meeting approaches, it is highly likely to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. However, due to the continuous shutdown of the US government, important data such as non - farm employment and core inflation have not been released on time, bringing uncertainty to the Fed's future interest - rate policy. In terms of international geopolitics, the meeting between US and Russian leaders was postponed, the EU imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia, and the prospect of Russia - Ukraine peace negotiations has changed again. The expectation of an interest - rate cut by the Fed this year has been repeatedly digested, and after the rapid rise of gold, some funds have taken profits. Gold may enter a stage of adjustment in the short term [35].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short term, after repeated digestion of policy benefits, the stock index may adjust after continuous rise; the expectation of three interest rate cuts by the Fed this year has been fully digested, and with the official entry into force of the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the cooling of risk aversion, gold should be wary of adjustments caused by the emergence of profit-taking selling pressure. In the medium to long term, the valuation of the stock index is mainly dragged down by the decline in corporate profit growth at the molecular end, while the support at the denominator end mainly comes from the recovery of risk appetite, including the intensification of domestic counter - cyclical adjustment policies and the easing of international trade frictions, and the stock index is expected to maintain a wide - range oscillation. With the fading of concerns about the uncertainty of US tariff policies, the easing of the Middle - East geopolitical situation, and the full digestion of the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cuts this year, gold faces the risk of a deep adjustment [41]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Domestic and Foreign Macroeconomic Data - In September this year, the official manufacturing PMI rose for two consecutive months but remained in the contraction range. Industrial production accelerated further, and demand improved marginally. New loans and social financing scale increased, the year - on - year decline of CPI and PPI narrowed, and import and export growth accelerated [3]. Stock Index Fundamental Data Enterprise Profit - From January to August this year, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size turned positive year - on - year, and the growth rate of finished goods inventory continued to decline. However, due to weak terminal demand, downstream enterprises still faced great operating pressure, had difficulty passing on production costs to end - consumers, and had to actively reduce production and inventory [16]. Capital Situation - The margin trading balance in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets rose to 243.2575 billion yuan, reaching a new historical high. The central bank conducted 673.1 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations this week, resulting in a net withdrawal of 347.9 billion yuan [19]. Gold Fundamental Data Risk - Free Interest Rate: Holding Cost and Inflation Level - The US federal government has been in a shutdown, causing some economic data to be released late. There are differences within the Fed regarding future interest rate policies, and most officials support further interest rate cuts this year. The yield of the 10 - year US Treasury bond has fallen below the 4% mark [26][27]. US Consumer Confidence Index and Employment Situation - Not provided Domestic and Foreign Gold Inventory Situation - The warehouse receipts and inventory of Shanghai gold futures have continued to soar, reflecting an increase in the demand for physical gold delivery and high market bullish sentiment [39]. Strategy Recommendation - Although domestic policy has continuously released positive signals, corporate profits have not significantly improved, and concerns about Sino - US trade tensions remain. The stock index may continue to adjust after a short - term rebound. With the repeated digestion of the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cuts this year and the easing of the Middle - East geopolitical situation, attention should be paid to the risk of a correction in gold after its rapid rise [40].
