- The report primarily focuses on tracking and analyzing the performance of broad-based indices in the A-share market, including their daily price movements, moving averages, turnover rates, and risk premiums[1][2][3] - The turnover rate for each index is calculated using the formula: $ \text{Turnover Rate} = \frac{\Sigma(\text{Circulating Shares of Component Stocks} \times \text{Turnover Rate of Component Stocks})}{\Sigma(\text{Circulating Shares of Component Stocks})} $ This provides insights into the liquidity and trading activity of the indices[17] - The risk premium is measured relative to the 10-year government bond yield, serving as a benchmark for risk-free rates. This metric evaluates the relative investment value and deviation of each index. For instance, the current risk premium for the CSI 500 is -0.79%, with a 5-year historical percentile of 21.98%[27][31] - The PE-TTM (Price-to-Earnings Trailing Twelve Months) ratio is used as a valuation reference.
