Core Insights - The report argues that the recent market uptrend since June is not primarily driven by "residential deposit migration," but rather by an improvement in risk appetite and a shift in earnings expectations [1] - It highlights several misconceptions regarding the migration of residential deposits and emphasizes that the changes in non-bank deposits are more of a consequence than a cause of market movements [1] Misconceptions about Residential Deposit Migration - The decline in wealth management yields due to lower risk-free rates has not significantly prompted residents to shift towards other asset types; instead, they have increased their allocation to medium-term wealth management products [2] - Historical data shows that high growth in non-bank deposits typically corresponds with a booming equity market, while recent trends indicate that new residential deposits have not fluctuated significantly [2] - The report notes that periods of significant residential market entry often coincide with overheated market sentiment, suggesting that such behavior may lead to market tops rather than sustained growth [2] Market Drivers - The primary drivers of the market are identified as changes in narrative, improved risk appetite, and enhanced earnings expectations, with liquidity playing a secondary role [3] - The report utilizes a DDM model to illustrate that since September of the previous year, market gains have been predominantly attributed to improved risk appetite, followed by earnings expectations, while the impact of reduced risk-free rates has been minimal [3] Market Trading Logic - The report indicates a shift in market trading logic from valuation-driven to a "Davis Double Play" approach, where performance is increasingly guided by earnings rather than just valuations [3] - It notes that the strong performance of the overseas computing sector has significantly influenced the domestic market, particularly in the technology and innovation sectors [3] Earnings Recovery Indicators - Two leading indicators suggest that corporate earnings may have bottomed out: credit expansion typically precedes earnings recovery by about nine months, with a turning point expected in November [4] - Additionally, the growth rate difference between corporate and residential deposits serves as an economic activity indicator, with a turning point anticipated around August [4] Current Trading Risks - The report identifies three key trading risks: a decline in financing, high valuations, and geopolitical risks, which have contributed to increased market volatility since September [5] - It emphasizes the need for risk control in the current environment, despite the presence of potential opportunities in various sectors [5] Sector Focus - The report suggests focusing on hard technology sectors, particularly those related to overseas computing and chip manufacturing, which are expected to benefit from increased demand and narrative-driven growth [5] - Specific areas of interest include innovative pharmaceuticals entering commercial phases, AI applications in media and internet sectors, and consumer electronics transitioning into new cycles [5]

Core Insights - The article emphasizes the importance of the dollar channel as a significant mechanism for the cross-border transmission of monetary policy, highlighting its role in influencing global financial stability and the challenges it poses for central banks [1][6]. Group 1: Limitations of Traditional Monetary Policy Transmission - Traditional theories of monetary policy spillover effects focus on interest rate differentials and trade competitiveness, but these channels are increasingly inadequate in explaining real-world capital flows [2][3]. - The interest rate differential can indicate the direction of capital flows but fails to capture their scale and volatility, as investor behavior is also influenced by risk preferences and market sentiment [2]. - The trade competitiveness channel is limited in a dollar-dominated global trade system, where exchange rate fluctuations do not effectively translate into trade price adjustments [3]. Group 2: Impact of Dollar Appreciation on Financing Costs - Dollar appreciation leads to increased financing costs for U.S. companies, particularly in the leveraged loan market, which is sensitive to changes in risk appetite [4][5]. - A 1% appreciation of the dollar results in an increase of 6-7 basis points in leveraged loan spreads, which can rise to approximately 13.8 basis points when controlling for the Eurozone yield curve [4]. - Higher-risk loans exhibit greater sensitivity to dollar fluctuations, with spreads increasing significantly more than lower-risk loans during dollar appreciation [5]. Group 3: Dollar Channel's Role in Global Monetary Policy and Risk Cycles - The dollar channel serves as both a conduit for policy transmission and an amplifier of risk cycles, potentially limiting the independence of U.S. monetary policy [6]. - Dollar fluctuations create a self-reinforcing cycle between risk sentiment and financing conditions, exacerbating the pro-cyclical nature of the financial system [6]. - The dynamics of a strong or weak dollar complicate policy decisions for central banks, necessitating a careful balance between domestic monetary policy effects and external spillover impacts [7].

Group 1 - The report highlights that the fourth quarter is traditionally a high-frequency window for fiscal policy to intensify, especially under weak domestic demand conditions, where the pressure to meet annual economic targets becomes more pronounced [2][8][10] - The cumulative GDP growth for the first three quarters is projected to exceed the annual target, suggesting that the pressure to implement large-scale counter-cyclical policies in the fourth quarter is lower than in previous years [10][11] - The report indicates that even if the economic growth continues to moderate in the fourth quarter, as long as it does not deviate significantly from the central level, the growth rate is expected to remain stable within a reasonable range [11][18] Group 2 - The establishment of 500 billion new policy financial tools at the end of the third quarter is noted as a significant measure to support project initiation in the fourth quarter, which could leverage local matching investments and potentially create a multiplier effect of around one trillion [3][11] - The report suggests that the reliance on large-scale additional stimulus is decreasing, indicating that the fiscal policy's focus may shift towards consolidating the economic fundamentals rather than introducing substantial new measures [11][18] - The report emphasizes that the short-term market dynamics are likely to be driven more by risk appetite and market microstructure rather than significant policy changes, with a notable recovery in market sentiment observed [4][14][18] Group 3 - The report discusses the potential for emotional recovery and risk preference resonance in the market, suggesting that the current low sentiment levels may lead to a phase of recovery, although this is subject to external shocks or internal sentiment weakening [4][14] - It is noted that the market's microstructure is currently similar to that of April, with sentiment indicators at a two-year low, reflecting a comprehensive pricing of negative factors [14][18] - The report concludes that while there is some room for fiscal policy intervention, the urgency is not as pronounced as in previous years, and the market's mid-term expectations have shifted significantly compared to earlier in the year [18]

The changes in neutral and CTA strategy products also reflected this.

The daily - level basis changes were weakly correlated with index changes, and there was significant divergence at the 1 - minute level, indicating weak risk appetite [9]. - Product - end Performance: Index - related product scale was stable with a slight decline, and the number of newly issued public - offering index - enhanced products reached a new monthly high. The net value curve of neutral strategies flattened in the past two months, with a median annual return of around 5.5%, and both long and short positions decreased in September. The CTA strategy's leverage ratio for stock indices remained stable, but the net long position fluctuated significantly, reflecting disordered market sentiment [14]. 3.2 Performance Review of Long - Position Rollover - The annualized excess returns of the long - position rollover strategy for IF, IH, IC, and IM in the past 250 trading days were - 2.7%, 0.2%, 1.2%, and - 3.0% respectively.
