Economic Growth - The domestic economic growth momentum is steadily improving, with the Guosen High-Frequency Macro Diffusion Index A remaining positive and Index B continuing to rise[1] - Investment sector sentiment is improving, while consumer and real estate sectors show little change; investment performance is relatively strong[1] - Seasonal comparison indicates that Index B typically rises by an average of 0.17 weekly after the Spring Festival, with this week's standardized increase at 0.14, aligning with historical averages[1] Asset Prices and Predictions - Current domestic interest rates are low, while the Shanghai Composite Index is high; a mean reversion suggests that the ten-year government bond yield is expected to rise and the Shanghai Composite Index to fall in the upcoming week[1] - The predicted ten-year government bond yield for the week of March 21, 2025, is 2.47%, while the actual yield is 1.87%, indicating a deviation of 61 basis points[18] - The predicted Shanghai Composite Index for the same week is 3,174.98, lower than the actual value of 3,411.22[19] Price Trends - Food and non-food prices have both slightly decreased, with March CPI food expected to be -1.0%, non-food at -0.1%, and overall CPI at -0.3%[2] - The domestic Producer Price Index (PPI) is expected to remain flat month-on-month, with a slight year-on-year increase to -2.1%[2]

Core Viewpoint - The current dividend strategy shows significant bottom characteristics, indicating potential recovery momentum in the market [1][3][4]. Group 1: Quantitative Indicators - The dividend index has exhibited a rare "negative return - high volatility" feature over the past three months, deviating significantly from its long-term central distribution [1][3]. - As of March 7, the excess return of the dividend index compared to the CSI 300 index has dropped to -7%, with an excess volatility of 12%, suggesting a suitable window for contrarian investors [3]. - The dividend ETF is in a state of reduced net subscriptions, typically corresponding to a bottoming phase for the strategy, with net subscription volume decreasing to approximately 0.3 million yuan [3][4]. Group 2: Long-term Value of Dividend Strategy - The dividend strategy has high returns, low volatility, and low drawdown characteristics, with an annualized return of 14.14% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.64 from January 2006 to February 2025, making it the highest among various style indices [2]. - The dividend strategy remains an attractive allocation direction due to strengthened dividend policies, a low risk-free yield environment, and long-term capital inflow policies [2]. Group 3: Technical Indicators - The current volume indicator for the dividend style has fallen below the warning line (0.8), triggering a buy signal historically associated with significant rebounds in excess returns [4]. - The market turnover ratio for the dividend index has dropped below 5%, indicating a "cooling" phase in trading volume over the past five years, which suggests a safety margin for allocation [4][5].

Core Viewpoint - The liquidity in the market has been tight since the beginning of the year, with short-term interest rates rising without immediate transmission to long-term rates due to several factors, including increased demand for long-term bonds and changing market expectations regarding interest rate cuts [1][2]. Group 1: Initial Conditions for Short-Term to Long-Term Rate Transmission - The initial lack of transmission from short-term to long-term interest rates is attributed to three main factors: increased demand for long-term bonds due to the "opening red" period and deposit self-discipline, heightened concerns over tariffs leading to increased risk premiums, and a stronger "substitution effect" of long-term bonds over short-term bonds [4][5][6]. Group 2: Recent Developments in Rate Transmission - Since February 6, the pressure from short-term rates has begun to transmit to long-term rates, with the 10-year government bond yield rising from 1.60% to 1.76%. This change is driven by three mechanisms: a decrease in the pulse demand for long-term bonds, a marginal correction in interest rate cut expectations, and an increase in the opportunity cost of long-term bond investments [8][9][10]. Group 3: Future Outlook for Long-Term Bond Yields - The tightening liquidity environment may lead to a return to a more stable long-term bond yield, with expectations that the liquidity environment will shift back to a more accommodative stance. The future trajectory will depend on the extent of fiscal stimulus and the strength of economic recovery [12].
