Quantitative Models and Construction 1. Model Name: Diffusion Index Industry Rotation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model is based on the principle of price momentum, aiming to capture upward trends in industries through a diffusion index[24][25]. - **Model Construction Process**: The diffusion index is calculated for each industry, reflecting the proportion of stocks within the industry that exhibit upward momentum. The index ranges from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate stronger upward trends. The model selects industries with the highest diffusion index values for rotation. - Formula: Not explicitly provided in the report - **Model Evaluation**: The model has shown mixed performance over the years. It performed well in capturing trends during certain periods (e.g., pre-September 2021) but struggled during market reversals or when trends shifted to mean-reversion patterns[24]. 2. Model Name: GRU Factor Industry Rotation Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model leverages GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) deep learning networks to process high-frequency volume and price data, aiming to identify industry rotation opportunities[37]. - **Model Construction Process**: The GRU network is trained on historical minute-level data to predict industry factor rankings. The model then selects industries with the highest predicted factor scores for rotation. - Formula: Not explicitly provided in the report - **Model Evaluation**: The GRU model has demonstrated strong adaptability in short-term scenarios but has underperformed in long-term or extreme market conditions. Its reliance on high-frequency data makes it sensitive to market noise[37]. --- Model Backtesting Results 1.

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve is gradually opening the door to interest rate cuts, with a new monetary policy framework that emphasizes flexible inflation targeting and acknowledges the challenges in measuring full employment [2][4]. Group 1: Federal Reserve's New Framework - The new framework indicates a shift away from fixed employment targets, recognizing that full employment is not directly measurable and varies over time [2]. - The Federal Reserve's adjustment is partly a response to recent revisions in employment data by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has raised questions about the credibility of employment statistics [2][3]. - The framework retains the complementary assumption between employment and inflation targets, allowing for some discretionary power in policy decisions [4]. Group 2: Impact of Digital Technology - Digital technology is changing the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy, complicating the speed and boundaries of policy effects [3]. - The emergence of decentralized stablecoins is altering the medium and ecosystem of currency transmission, increasing the costs for the Federal Reserve to track and analyze monetary flows [3]. Group 3: Global Market Implications - The non-typical interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve may have different impacts on global financial markets due to the evolving global economic structure [4][5]. - The effects of rate cuts will not be uniform across global markets but will depend on the correlation of countries' economic relationships with the U.S. and their acceptance of dollar-based stablecoins [5]. - Countries need to adapt their risk management strategies in response to the changes brought about by the Federal Reserve's policy adjustments and the influence of new technologies [5].
