Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The current market sentiment is positive, with low implied volatility, making it advisable to go long on volatility. Policy support and continuous capital inflows are the core drivers for the medium - to long - term upward trend of the stock index, but there is short - term technical adjustment pressure due to significant valuation increases. A bull spread strategy is suitable for the current market, and it is the right time to construct a call bull spread strategy to retain the upside potential of the CSI 300 Index while controlling short - term callback risks [2][17]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Option - related Indicators - The option position PCR indicates positive market sentiment. After the National Day holiday, the position PCR of CSI 300 index options rose from 94.14% to 100.19%, and its percentile level since 2023 increased from 91.7% to 94.7%, suggesting that the proportion of investors with non - bearish views is at a high historical percentile [3]. - The option implied volatility is at a low level. After the National Day holiday, the implied volatility of at - the - money options of CSI 300 index options continued to decline from 13.84% to 13.48%, and its percentile level since 2023 dropped from 23.3% to 17.4%. Although the current volatility expectation is low, there is a high possibility of an increase in the future, so it is advisable to hold a positive vega exposure [5][6]. Stock Index Direction - Policy support and continuous capital inflows are the core drivers for the medium - to long - term upward trend of the stock index. However, due to significant valuation increases, there is short - term technical adjustment pressure, and the stock index is likely to maintain wide - range fluctuations in the short term [8]. Manufacturing PMI - In September, the manufacturing PMI was 49.8%, up from 49.4% in the previous month, indicating continued improvement in the manufacturing sector. The production and new order indices both increased, showing synchronous improvement in supply and demand, with the production side recovering faster. However, there are concerns in the price indices, and the demand side still needs policy support [9]. Consumer Policy - The consumer trade - in policy has promoted the growth of related consumer categories. From January to August, the cumulative sales of household appliances, communication equipment, and furniture in enterprises above the designated size increased by 28.4%, 21.1%, and 22.0% year - on - year respectively. But there are still blockages in the transmission from corporate profits to household income, and the policy needs to be long - term and shift towards high - repurchase - rate goods and services [11]. Capital Inflows - Since July, margin trading funds and household wealth management funds have continuously flowed into the stock market. As of October 9, the margin balance exceeded 2.4 trillion yuan. The continuous growth of newly established stock funds has exceeded seasonal performance. Overseas, the Fed's interest rate cut in September may drive foreign capital inflows, and domestically, the A - share market is becoming a new direction for social wealth allocation [14]. Valuation Pressure - After continuous rises, the valuation of the CSI 300 Index has increased significantly. As of October 9, its PE - TTM was 14.4, at the 90.59% percentile in the past 10 years. After the policy benefits are realized in October, the short - term technical adjustment pressure will increase [16]. Conclusion and Operation Ideas - A call bull spread strategy is suitable for the current market. It is applicable to a moderately bullish market, has limited losses, and has a positive vega exposure. It can match the current market expectations and is the right time to construct this strategy [17].
