1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core View of the Report - A-share major indices closed generally higher with performance divergence, large-cap blue-chip stocks outperformed small and mid-cap stocks. The market is in a random walk state this week with less macro data and fewer disturbances from domestic and overseas news. With the approaching of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, market trading is relatively dull. The previously announced economic data shows that the economy in August was still under pressure, and the real estate had an obvious drag on fixed investment. The marginal weakening of the "trade-in" policy also put pressure on social retail sales. It is necessary to wait for further policy efforts. Although Powell's hawkish remarks put short-term pressure on the RMB, the dot plot shows that there will be two more interest rate cuts this year, and the subsequent depreciation pressure on the RMB is expected to ease, which will also provide space for domestic policy easing. The market is expected to remain volatile before the policy is implemented. It is recommended to wait and see for now [2] 3.
