Macro - financial Stock Index Futures - Strategy: Consider buying on dips. The A - share market rose on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite Index hitting a new high since December 2021. However, the on - balance - sheet new RMB loans turned negative in July [14]. Treasury Bond Futures - Strategy: Consider a steepening strategy. The money market is loose, and the bond market first weakened and then strengthened. The long - end bonds can be considered to maintain a weakly volatile and bearish view, and the steepening of the yield curve is still relatively advantageous [15][16]. Black Metals - **Steel and Ore**: Policies are becoming milder, supply and demand contradictions are not prominent, and prices are expected to be volatile. Steel mill profits are mixed, and iron ore prices are also volatile [16][17][18]. - **Double - coke**: Prices may enter a high - level consolidation phase. The supply of coking coal is expected to be tight in the short term, but there is also downward pressure [18][19]. - **Double - silicon**: The current price is in a reasonable range, and the medium - term supply - demand logic is weak. Avoid chasing short positions without non - fundamental positive disturbances [19]. Non - ferrous and New Materials - **Aluminum and Alumina**: Aluminum prices are expected to be weakly volatile in the short term due to weak demand in the off - season but may rise in the future. Alumina prices may be strong in the short term but face supply surplus pressure in the long term [24]. - **Zinc**: Social inventories are increasing, and zinc prices are expected to weaken after the macro influence fades [25]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The supply - demand situation has improved marginally, and the price is expected to be volatile, but there is pressure from industrial hedging [26][27]. - **Polysilicon**: In the short term, it may return to the contradiction between fundamentals and warehouse receipts, with wide - range fluctuations [28]. Agricultural Products - **Cotton**: Short - term watch and long - term short on rallies due to low downstream demand and new crop production pressure [30][31][32]. - **Sugar**: Domestic sugar stocks are low, but the increase in processed sugar may restrict prices. Pay attention to short - covering opportunities during stocking [33][34][35]. - **Eggs**: The Mid - Autumn Festival peak season is approaching, but the supply pressure is large. Short on rallies for near - term contracts and consider a short 10 - long 12 spread strategy [35][36]. - **Apples**: Use a light - position positive spread strategy. Pay attention to the price changes of early - maturing apples and new - season Fuji apples [37]. - **Corn**: Short on far - term contracts. The market sentiment is bearish, but there is support at the bottom [38][39]. - **Dates**: Stay on the sidelines as the spot market in Hebei is weak [40]. - **Pigs**: Be cautious and short on near - term contracts. The supply pressure is high, and pay attention to the development of African swine fever [40][41]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Consider shorting on rallies as it is likely to enter a supply - surplus pattern [44]. - **Fuel Oil**: Follows crude oil. The current fundamental situation is complex, with factors such as power demand in the Middle East and low - sulfur fuel oil demand affecting it [45]. - **Plastic**: The rebound space is expected to be limited, and it is recommended to prevent callback risks [46]. - **Rubber**: Slightly strong in the short term, but be cautious when chasing highs [47]. - **Methanol**: Continue to be weakly volatile due to the contradiction between tight inland supply and loose port supply [48][49]. - **Caustic Soda**: The spot price in Shandong has support, but the futures price has limited upward space [50]. - **Asphalt**: Follows crude oil, and its own fundamentals are in the off - season, with slow inventory reduction [51]. - **Polyester Industry Chain**: Unilateral prices are expected to follow the cost downward. Consider a strategy of going long on MEG and short on PTA [52]. - **LPG**: Supply is abundant, and demand is expected to decline in the medium - long term, making the price prone to fall [53]. - **Pulp**: The market trading has improved, and the price has followed the increase. Observe the inventory and trading volume [54]. - **Logs**: The price is affected by capital, and it is recommended to observe and consider hedging on rallies [55]. - **Urea**: The futures price is weak due to weak fundamentals [56]. - **Synthetic Rubber**: Slightly strong in the short term, be cautious when chasing highs [57].

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: Broad-based Index Heat Rotation Strategy - **Model Construction Idea**: The strategy is based on the weekly heat change rate (MA2) of broad-based indices. By identifying the index with the highest heat change rate, the strategy aims to capture short-term market sentiment shifts[7][13][16] - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Group all A-share stocks into five categories: CSI 300, CSI 500, CSI 1000, CSI 2000, and "Others" 2. Calculate the total heat indicator for each group by summing the heat indicators of constituent stocks 3. Compute the weekly heat change rate for each group and apply a 2-week moving average (MA2) for smoothing 4. At the end of each week, invest in the index with the highest heat change rate (MA2). If the "Others" group has the highest rate, remain in cash[8][11][13] - **Model Evaluation**: The strategy demonstrates the ability to capture short-term sentiment-driven opportunities in the market[13] --- Backtesting Results of Models 1. Broad-based Index Heat Rotation Strategy - **Annualized Return**: 8.74% since 2017[16] - **Maximum Drawdown**: 23.5%[16] - **Cumulative Return (2025)**: 9.6%[16] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods 1. Factor Name: Total Heat Indicator - **Factor Construction Idea**: The total heat indicator is used as a proxy for market sentiment, aggregating the attention metrics of individual stocks[7] - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Define the total heat indicator for individual stocks as the sum of browsing, watchlist additions, and click counts 2. Normalize the indicator by dividing it by the total market value on the same day 3. Multiply the normalized value by 10,000 to scale the indicator within the range [0, 10,000][7] - **Factor Evaluation**: The factor effectively captures market sentiment at the stock level and can be aggregated to broader categories like indices, industries, or concepts[7] 2. Factor Name: Weekly Heat Change Rate (MA2) - **Factor Construction Idea**: This factor measures the short-term change in market sentiment by tracking the weekly variation in the total heat indicator[13] - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Calculate the weekly change rate of the total heat indicator for each stock or group 2. Apply a 2-week moving average (MA2) to smooth out short-term fluctuations[13][20] - **Factor Evaluation**: The MA2 smoothing enhances the stability of the factor, making it suitable for identifying trends in market sentiment[13] 3. Factor Name: Concept Heat Ranking - **Factor Construction Idea**: This factor identifies the hottest and coldest concepts based on their weekly heat change rates, enabling the construction of sentiment-driven portfolios[31] - **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Rank concepts by their weekly heat change rates 2. Select the top 5 concepts with the highest heat change rates 3. Construct two portfolios: - **TOP Portfolio**: Select the top 10 stocks with the highest total heat within each concept - **BOTTOM Portfolio**: Select the bottom 10 stocks with the lowest total heat within each concept[31] - **Factor Evaluation**: The factor highlights the potential for excess returns by exploiting sentiment-driven mispricing in concept stocks[31] --- Backtesting Results of Factors 1.
