1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating was provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The relative value advantage of the domestic stock market over bonds has declined but remains relatively high compared to historical levels. Strategically, investors can continue to rely on the negative correlation between stocks and bonds for portfolio allocation, and tactically, the dynamic weight allocation still favors overweighting stocks [1][2][8]. - Since August, the increase in Hong Kong stocks has significantly lagged behind that of A - shares, possibly due to liquidity differences. There may be potential catch - up opportunities for Hong Kong stocks when the Fed turns dovish, and the indicative significance of the AH premium may be weakened [2][19]. - Globally, A - share valuations are still relatively low and may have significant room for improvement from perspectives such as the stock market capitalization/GDP ratio [2][27]. - In the US stock market, during the interest - rate cut cycle, small - and medium - cap and cyclical sectors, which are more sensitive to interest rates, may perform relatively well in the short term, while leading technology stocks with strong earnings may remain the long - term main theme [1][2][33]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Condition Assessment - Domestic: New and second - hand housing transactions have marginally stabilized, export throughput has maintained resilience, and price trends are differentiated. The central bank has continuously supported the liquidity, and the Fed's expected interest - rate cut provides room for subsequent incremental monetary policies. Fiscal policy may see a window of opportunity around the junction of the third and fourth quarters. Real estate policies continue to boost demand [3][45][47]. - Overseas: The US economy has maintained resilience. Powell's dovish speech signaled a possible interest - rate cut in September. The US 8 - month Markit composite PMI reached a 9 - month high [46]. Configuration Suggestions - **Large - scale assets**: The Fed's dovish stance steepens the US Treasury yield curve, benefiting global cyclical assets. It is advisable to use gold as a defensive position. A - shares are expected to be active in the short term and re - evaluated in the long term. The US Treasury yield curve is more likely to steepen, and short - end operations have higher certainty. The volatility of US stocks may increase in the short term, and it is recommended to hedge risks. Commodity sentiment has generally improved [4][39]. - **Domestic bond market**: The current bond market has weak coupon protection, high speculation, and strong sentiment - driven characteristics. Interest rates are likely to have an upper limit. It is recommended to look for opportunities after October and focus on curve steepening transactions. Avoid some volatile bond varieties [39]. - **Domestic stock market**: Near - term events may disrupt the market, but the overall environment remains favorable. Investors are advised to focus on the "hard technology" theme and explore "anti - involution" sub - themes. Increase trading flexibility if certain signals appear [40]. - **US Treasury bonds**: The market's expectation of an interest - rate cut has increased. It is expected that there will be at least two interest - rate cuts this year. Short - term trading may revolve around interest - rate cut expectations, and long - term, the probability of a steepening yield curve is higher. Band trading is recommended, with higher certainty at the short end [41]. - **US stocks**: After the Fed turns dovish, cyclical sectors may perform well in the short term, but there may be回调 risks. Technology stocks may remain the long - term main theme. It is recommended to hedge risks and wait for opportunities after Nvidia's earnings report [41]. - **Commodities**: The expectation of interest - rate cuts and the weakening of the US dollar have warmed commodity sentiment. Mineral stocks may have greater elasticity. Gold is expected to be strong, oil prices have bottomed out but are bearish in the long term, and copper prices may fluctuate in the short term [44]. Follow - up Concerns - **Domestic**: China's official and S&P Global manufacturing PMI for August, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Tianjin Summit [61]. - **Overseas**: The US second - quarter real GDP annualized quarterly rate revision, July existing home sales index monthly rate, July core PCE price index annual and monthly rates, and other economic data from the US, Eurozone, UK, and Japan [61].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The bond market is under phased pressure, and potential negative feedback effects should be vigilant. The recent bond market has been under continuous pressure, mainly disturbed by three factors: the strengthening of M1 year - on - year data, the significant recovery of market risk appetite, and the "anti - involution" policy expectation. The stock - bond cost - performance index shows that the bond allocation value is accumulating but has not reached the threshold for asset re - allocation. In the short term, the strong performance of the equity market is the biggest risk for the bond market, and investors are advised to maintain a defensive stance and a short - duration strategy [5]. 3.

Core Viewpoints - The transition of household deposits from "excessive defensive deposits" to "normal deposits" is a two-step process, currently in the first step [4] - The shift from "excessive defensive deposits" to "normal deposits" requires tracking household cash flow statements, with the ratio of new deposits to income increasing from approximately 14% (2016-2019) to 22% (2022-2024) [4][8] - Five macro-level high-frequency alternative indicators are proposed to track the progress of household deposit migration [4][10] Group 1: Deposit Scale - The ratio of household deposits to GDP in China has increased significantly, reaching 112% by the end of 2024, with an estimated excess deposit of around 40 trillion yuan [21][23] - Historical data shows that the average ratio of household deposits to GDP in China from 2010 to 2019 was 78%, with a peak of 82% [21][23] - The current household deposit level is approximately 160 trillion yuan, significantly higher than the expected range of 110 to 120 trillion yuan based on pre-pandemic trends [6][7] Group 2: Deposit Flow - The current macroeconomic challenge is the transition of excessive deposits to normal deposits, which can be accurately tracked through household cash flow statements [34] - The ratio of new deposits to disposable income has increased from 14% (2016-2019) to 22% (2022-2024), indicating a shift towards normal deposits [35][36] - The concept of "excess savings" is rejected; instead, it is defined as "defensive deposits" due to reduced investment spending in a declining asset price environment [9][36] Group 3: High-Frequency Tracking Indicators - The first indicator, the difference between current and fixed-term deposits, shows that a higher current deposit ratio indicates a weaker defensive saving intention [10][42] - The second indicator, the ratio of new household currency to new M2, indicates that a lower ratio suggests funds are flowing more towards enterprises and non-bank sectors, improving monetary turnover efficiency [11][12][44] - The third indicator, the difference between enterprise and household deposit growth rates, serves as a leading indicator for economic activity, with current levels indicating a recovery from the most pessimistic economic phase [13][48] Group 4: Defensive Deposits and Financial Markets - The fourth indicator measures the scale of non-bank institutions' financing from the real economy, which has reached historical highs, indicating a significant flow of household deposits into non-bank institutions [14][51] - The fifth indicator compares household deposits to the market capitalization of stocks, with a current ratio of approximately 1.71, suggesting that household purchasing power is still sufficient to support stock market transactions [16][56]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report's industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "10-year Treasury yield - CSI 300 dividend yield" is used as the core indicator to observe the cost - performance ratio between stocks and bonds. The current difference is near the +1 standard deviation of the one - year rolling window and at the upper limit of the past three years, indicating that the bond's allocation value is gradually increasing, but it is not yet the time for re - allocation between stocks and bonds, and the bond market still has upward pressure [3][4][5]. - The asymmetric compression of the indicator's range since 2021 is unsustainable, and the range may return to the historical normal state of [-2 standard deviations, +2 standard deviations] due to factors such as the upward revision of fundamental expectations and the increase in investors' risk appetite [4][63][64]. - In the short term, the bond market is under phased pressure due to factors such as the strengthening of M1 year - on - year data, the increase in market risk appetite, and the expectation of "anti - involution" policies. Attention should be paid to the redemption situation of bond - type funds to avoid potential negative feedback effects [7][69]. 3.
