Core Insights - The report by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) establishes a "3×3 USD Liquidity Analysis Matrix" to systematically monitor changes in USD liquidity through three core markets: the federal funds market, the repo market, and the offshore USD market, using indicators of scale, price, and policy [1][2][3]. Federal Funds Market - The federal funds market is the cornerstone of USD liquidity, with total reserves reflecting the banking system's foundational liquidity. As of September 2025, total reserves are projected to be $3.2 trillion, accounting for 12.9% of total bank assets, indicating a still ample liquidity environment [1][3][13]. - The Federal Reserve's balance sheet reduction (QT) continues, but the Reverse Repo Program (RRP) serves as a buffer, keeping the federal funds rate stable within the policy range [1][3][13]. - The discount window is used cautiously due to the "stigma effect," typically only utilized during crises [1][17]. Repo Market - The repo market is a crucial liquidity hub, with attention on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the capacity of primary dealers. As of September 2025, the SOFR-ON RRP spread has widened to 16 basis points, indicating tightening liquidity conditions [2][20]. - The ratio of primary dealer reverse repos to reserves has risen to 0.88, reflecting accumulated pressure, though it remains below crisis levels [2][20]. - The Standing Repo Facility (SRF) usage reached a historical high in June 2025, highlighting the market's vulnerability to liquidity pressures [2][21]. Offshore USD Market - The offshore USD market is characterized by "bondification" and "derivatization," with cross-currency swap (CCS) basis as a key indicator. A narrowing CCS basis trend in 2025 suggests ample offshore liquidity [2][26][27]. - The use of central bank currency swaps and the FIMA repo facility are critical tools for maintaining global USD liquidity stability, with significant usage during systemic liquidity crises [2][35][38]. - The offshore market's liquidity is difficult to monitor through quantity indicators alone, as it relies heavily on cross-border borrowing and derivatives [2][29][31].

Group 1 - The recent fluctuations in the US stock market, particularly the Nasdaq, are attributed to high valuations encountering tightening liquidity, indicating a healthy correction phase [1] - The rise in the US dollar is primarily due to the government shutdown and the upcoming end of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet reduction, which is expected to release liquidity once normal spending resumes [1] - The current market turbulence provides an opportunity for investors who have been waiting to enter the market, suggesting that the fluctuations are not indicative of a major downturn [1] Group 2 - Investment opportunities are identified in the renewable energy sector, particularly in sub-industries such as wind, solar, nuclear, batteries, and power grids, which have shown no signs of reaching a peak since August 27 [2] - Recent capital inflows have been observed in agricultural chemicals and upstream battery sectors, indicating a focus on price increase trends [2] - The high tolerance for risk in a bull market allows investors to practice and refine their strategies, even if they face short-term losses [2]

Group 1 - The report identifies three main factors influencing convertible bond performance: equity-debt price ratio, dollar liquidity, and large-small cap style [2][11][20] - The current economic environment is characterized by a recovery phase, but limited incremental benefits due to insufficient momentum from households and enterprises [2][12][39] - The dollar is expected to remain in a loose monetary environment, which historically supports equity markets [2][16][19] Group 2 - Convertible bonds are currently in a trading phase that follows the performance of underlying stocks, having experienced three cycles since 2018 [3][27][28] - The median price of convertible bonds as of November 3, 2025, is 132.72 yuan, placing it at the 99.3% historical percentile, indicating a high valuation level [4][34][35] - The median conversion premium is 27%, which is at the 55.3% historical percentile, suggesting a relatively high valuation in the current market [4][34][35] Group 3 - The report recommends a balanced investment strategy for convertible bonds, focusing on equity-like convertible bonds priced above 120 yuan, with specific recommendations for various sectors [5][39][41] - Recommended convertible bonds include those from financial consumption, public utilities, AI and robotics, as well as semiconductor and manufacturing sectors [5][39][41] Group 4 - The investor behavior analysis shows that the total outstanding convertible bond scale has decreased from 844.7 billion yuan in January 2025 to 759.5 billion yuan in October 2025, with funds increasing their holdings [29][31] - The report highlights a shift in investor composition, with funds increasing their share from 34.3% to 39.8% during the same period, while insurance institutions have reduced their holdings significantly [29][32]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Ratings The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. It offers trend judgments for various commodities within different sectors, including "oscillating", "bullish", and "bearish". 2. Core Views - The current macro - level is in a relatively vacuous period, with A - shares lacking a clear upward mainline. The market trading volume remains low, and the stock index continues to oscillate while accumulating momentum for the next upward movement. There is strong support below the stock index due to policy protection and abundant macro - liquidity [1]. - Different commodities in various sectors are affected by a combination of macroeconomic factors, supply - demand fundamentals, and geopolitical events, resulting in different price trends and investment outlooks. 3. Summary by Commodity Sectors Macro - Financial - **Stock Index**: Oscillating. A - shares lack an upward mainline, trading volume is low, but there is strong support below due to policy and liquidity [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Oscillating. Asset shortage and weak economy are favorable for bond futures, but the central bank's short - term interest rate risk warning suppresses the upward space [1]. - **Gold and Silver**: Oscillating. The tightness of the US dollar liquidity has eased, and precious metals are stabilizing and oscillating [1]. Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: Oscillating. The tightness of the US dollar liquidity has eased, market risk appetite has recovered, and copper prices have stopped falling. Limited industrial drivers and digested macro - benefits lead to an oscillating trend [1]. - **Aluminum**: Oscillating. With small production profits, domestic alumina production capacity is continuously released, and production and inventory are both increasing, pressuring the spot price. Attention should be paid to cost support [1]. - **Zinc**: Oscillating. The US government shutdown has increased market risk aversion. LME zinc inventory is continuously decreasing, and the risk of a short squeeze remains, but domestic fundamentals are still in surplus, so be cautious when chasing high prices [1]. - **Nickel**: Oscillating. US economic data and Fed policy expectations affect market risk appetite. The RKAB policy in Indonesia has been implemented, and nickel prices are mainly affected by macro factors in the short term, with high inventory pressure [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: Oscillating. Macro - sentiment is volatile, and stainless steel futures are oscillating at the bottom. Pay attention to the actual production of steel mills [1]. - **Tin**: Oscillating. Macro - benefits have been digested, and considering the raw material shortage and good new - quality demand expectations, it is recommended to pay attention to buying at low prices in the long - term [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Oscillating. Northwest production capacity is resuming, and southwest production is weak. The impact of the dry season is weakening [1]. - **Polysilicon**: Oscillating. There is an expectation of production capacity reduction in the long - term, and terminal installation is expected to increase in the fourth quarter [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Oscillating. The traditional peak season for new - energy vehicles is approaching, and energy - storage demand is strong, but there is hedging pressure [1]. Black Metals - **Rebar**: Oscillating. There are concerns about weakening industrial demand in the off - season, and attention should be paid to upward pressure after the realization of macro - sentiment [1]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: Oscillating. The off - season effect is not obvious, but the industrial structure is loose, and attention should be paid to upward price pressure [1]. - **Iron Ore**: Oscillating. Near - month contracts are restricted by production cuts, but there is an upward opportunity for far - month contracts due to good commodity sentiment [1]. - **Coke**: Oscillating. There is cost support and direct demand, but high supply and inventory accumulation put pressure on the sector, and the price rebound space is limited [1]. - **Silicon Iron**: Oscillating. Short - term production profit is poor, cost support is strong, but high supply and downstream pressure limit price rebound [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Oscillating. Coal and coke are strong due to tight supply, but downstream steel prices have weakened first, and there is a risk of the price returning to the oscillating range. It is recommended to wait and see in the short - term and go long at low prices in the long - term [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: Oscillating. It is currently under the pressure of seasonal production increase and weak exports, but may rebound if export data improves in the traditional production - reduction cycle starting in November [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: Oscillating. China's purchase of US soybeans may bring a loose supply expectation, and the rebound momentum is insufficient [1]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: Oscillating. The meeting between Chinese and Canadian leaders and Canadian rapeseed harvest put pressure on the market [1]. - **Cotton**: Oscillating. Uncertainty in cotton demand exists due to the contradiction between Xinjiang's production capacity expansion and reduced spinning profit. The downside space is limited, but the new - crop basis and futures price may be under pressure [1]. - **Sugar**: Oscillating. Typhoons have affected sugarcane production, and there is seasonal upward pressure, but the rebound space is limited after new - sugar listing [1]. - **Corn**: Oscillating. There is selling pressure in the short - term, and the market is expected to oscillate and bottom out. Attention should be paid to traders' inventory - building rhythm and policy changes [1]. - **Soybean Meal**: Oscillating. Domestic soybean purchase and processing margins are poor, and the market may rebound to repair margins, but the supply is expected to be loose in the near and far terms, limiting the rebound height [1]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Oscillating. OPEC+ plans to maintain a small increase in production in December, geopolitical speculation has cooled, and trade policies have eased market sentiment [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: Oscillating. Similar to crude oil, affected by OPEC+ production policy, geopolitics, and trade policies [1]. - **Asphalt**: Bearish. Short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, following crude oil. The "14th Five - Year Plan" construction demand is likely to be false, and supply is sufficient with high profits [1]. - **Natural Rubber**: Oscillating. Supported by raw material cost, with decreasing intermediate inventory and a positive commodity market atmosphere [1]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: Oscillating. Crude oil price decline weakens the cost support of butadiene, and synthetic rubber supply is loose with high inventory [1]. - **PTA**: Oscillating. The news of the "anti - involution" policy, overseas and domestic device failures, and maintenance have affected production and prices [1]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Oscillating. It follows the decline of crude oil prices, but coal price increase strengthens cost support. The polyester peak season is ending without obvious decline [1]. - **Short - Fiber**: Oscillating. It is affected by the PTA price and cost, with a strengthening basis [1]. - **Styrene**: Oscillating. Weak Asian benzene prices, low device operating rates, and closed arbitrage windows have affected the market [1]. - **Urea**: Oscillating. Export sentiment has eased, and domestic demand is insufficient, but there is support from the "anti - involution" policy and cost [1]. - **PE**: Oscillating. High supply leads to large inventory pressure, weakening maintenance, and slow - growing demand [1]. - **PP**: Oscillating. Insufficient maintenance support and new device production increase supply pressure, and demand improvement is less than expected [1]. - **PVC**: Oscillating. New device production and reduced maintenance increase supply pressure, and coal price increase strengthens cost support [1]. - **Caustic Soda**: Oscillating. Planned production expansion in Guangxi, reduced maintenance concentration, and potential short - squeeze risk [1]. - **LPG**: Oscillating. International oil and gas fundamentals are loose, and domestic spot fundamentals are stable [1].

本期发车，懒猫全球配置组合重点买入A股、美股和黄金。 最近，全球市场陷入集体下跌，美股遭遇了"黑色星期二"，日韩股市今天也重挫。 风险资产大跌有几个方面的原因。 首先是情绪上，高盛和大摩CEO这两位大佬几乎是在同一时间发出预警，称美股估值太高，未来12至24个月内可能出现10%-20%的回调。 另外，知名的大空头、对冲基金经理Michael Burry在三季度已经开始做空英伟达和人工智能热门股票Palantir。 还有，华尔街知名多头Yardeni也怀疑美股逼近回调边缘，警告年底涨势存在不确定性。 其次是流动性上。 本轮美国政府关门时间超过35天，已经正式成为历史上持续时间最长的政府停摆期。因为政府停摆财政开支减少，而美债发行继续，这导致美国财政部一 般账户（TGA）余额急剧膨胀。 我们都知道，流动性对金融市场至关重要，美元流动性可以理解为全球金融体系的"水位"。 当美联储释放流动性时，资产价格上涨、风险偏好提升；当流动性收紧时，融资成本上升、资产重估压力加大。 如何观察美元流动性呢？ 可以套用一个公式：金融市场净流动性=美联储资产负债表规模-TGA-逆回购（RRP），该指标也大致等同于银行的准备金规模。 过 ...
