The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.46% to 3972.03 points, with a trading volume of 1.93 trillion yuan. The decline in October's macro data may be due to technical factors, export slowdown, "anti - involution", and the real - estate downturn [8]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: The market's expectation of easing has declined, but there's still a possibility of interest rate cuts.
