1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating information is provided in the report [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][9][11][13] 2. Core View of the Report - Overseas macro: This week, the core driver of major assets lies in the resonance between the "anticipatory front - running" after the restart of the US government and the strengthened expectation of looser liquidity. Key inflation and employment data are still lacking, causing the market to shift from data - dependence to assumption - dependence. Weak high - frequency private indicators have led to an increase in market expectations of interest rate cuts, limiting the rebound of the US dollar and lowering US Treasury yields, and continuously strengthening the financial attributes of precious metals. However, it is necessary to be vigilant against the impact of expectation differences after front - running [5] - Domestic macro: In October, the overall economic data continued the weak and stable trend, and the pulling effect of incremental policies on the fundamentals has not been reflected yet. In the context of the diminishing marginal benefit of the trade - in policy, weak capital in - place, a phased decline in exports, and anti - involution expectations, the overall data in October continued to slow down slightly but still showed resilience. The two incremental policies implemented in October are expected to take effect at the end of the fourth quarter. In addition, the year - on - year growth rate of M1 in October was 6.2%, and the financial data generally met expectations [5] - Asset view: The overall allocation idea in the fourth quarter has not changed much, and the macro - environment is still favorable for risk assets. It is recommended that investors make a balanced allocation among major assets in the fourth quarter. Long - positions should continue to be held, and attention should be paid to the allocation opportunities of stock indices, non - ferrous metals (copper, lithium carbonate, aluminum, tin), and precious metals. If there is a certain degree of correction in the fourth quarter, appropriate additional allocation can be made [5] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Financial Market Price Changes - Various commodities have different price changes in terms of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual fluctuations. For example, lithium carbonate has an 8.97% daily increase, 17.85% monthly increase, 30.66% quarterly increase, and 23.48% annual increase, showing relatively strong performance [2] 3.2 Macro Summary - Overseas: The core driver of major assets is the resonance between "anticipatory front - running" and looser liquidity expectations. Market expectations of interest rate cuts have increased, but there are risks of expectation differences [5] - Domestic: The economic data in October continued the weak and stable trend. Incremental policies are expected to take effect at the end of the fourth quarter, and financial data met expectations [5] - Asset allocation: It is recommended to make a balanced allocation in the fourth quarter, hold long - positions, and pay attention to the allocation opportunities of stock indices, non - ferrous metals, and precious metals [5] 3.3 Sector and Variety Analysis 3.3.1 Financial Sector - Stock index futures: Catalyzed by technology events, the growth style is active, with a short - term judgment of oscillatory rise [6] - Stock index options: The overall market turnover has slightly declined, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Treasury bond futures: The bond market continues to be weak, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] 3.3.2 Precious Metals Sector - Gold/silver: Due to the easing of geopolitical and economic and trade relations, precious metals are in a phased adjustment, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] 3.3.3 Shipping Sector - Container shipping to Europe: The peak season in the third quarter has passed, and there is a lack of upward driving force, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] 3.3.4 Black Building Materials Sector - Steel: The actual supply and demand are both weak, but the futures market is firm, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Iron ore: Port inventories continue to accumulate, and the restocking demand needs to be released, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Coke: The price increase over the weekend has been implemented, and the supply continues to decline, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Coking coal: The supply is difficult to recover continuously, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Silicon iron: The supply and demand are loose, and the price is under pressure, but the cost support is strong, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Manganese silicon: The supply and demand situation remains loose, and there is no upward driving force for the price, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Glass: The supply and demand are still in excess, and inventory contradictions are accumulating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Soda ash: The demand for light soda ash is strong, and there is still cost support, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] 3.3.5 Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials Sector - Copper: Due to the tight US monetary liquidity, the copper price is in a short - term adjustment, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Alumina: The fundamental situation is still in excess, and the alumina price is under pressure and oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Aluminum/zinc: The stock - futures linkage leads to an oscillatory upward trend of the aluminum price, and the zinc price is oscillating at a high level, with short - term judgments of oscillatory rise and oscillation respectively [6] - Lead: Social inventories are slightly accumulating, and the lead price is oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Nickel: Market sentiment has improved, and the nickel price is oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Stainless steel: Warehouse receipts continue to decline, and the stainless - steel futures market is oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Tin: The inventory of Shanghai tin continues to decline, and the tin price is oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Industrial silicon: The supply in the southwest has rapidly declined, and the silicon price is oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] - Lithium carbonate: The restart expectation is repeated, and it is necessary to be vigilant against large price fluctuations, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [6] 3.3.6 Energy and Chemical Sector - Crude oil: The expectation of oversupply is strengthened, and there are still geopolitical disturbances, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [9] - LPG: The refinery's external supply has decreased, and the import cost is under pressure, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [9] - Asphalt: The situation between the US and Venezuela has cooled down, and the asphalt futures price is weakly oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [9] - High - sulfur fuel oil: The fuel oil futures price is weakly oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [9] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: The low - sulfur fuel oil is weakly oscillating, with a short - term judgment of oscillation [9] - Methanol: High inventory suppresses the price, and overseas disturbances are not significant.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View - Weekend economic data showed exports turned negative year-on-year due to holidays, high base effects, and a temporary decline in external demand. In terms of price data, CPI turned positive year-on-year, core CPI rebounded, service consumption contribution increased, and the year-on-year drag of food CPI eased, reflecting marginal repair of domestic consumption demand. PPI continued to rise year-on-year, and the decline narrowed further compared to September, mainly due to the continuous rise in upstream industry prices, indicating initial results of anti-involution policies, waiting for price transmission to spread downstream. Positive price data boosted market confidence in economic repair, leading to gains in large consumption sectors such as liquor, beauty care, and retail, and the index was generally strong with increased volume. However, the basis of stock index futures deepened for all contracts except IH, and the dividend index led the gains, indicating that market sentiment had not fully improved and remained cautious. This week, financial data, industrial added value, and social retail data will be released to further verify the economic repair situation. In addition, the concentrated issuance of US Treasury bonds overseas this week will test market liquidity, and overseas market fluctuations may affect the risk appetite of the A-share market. However, the support below is relatively stable based on policy expectations, and it is expected that the stock index will remain in a volatile pattern [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Review - Today, the stock index fluctuated strongly. Taking the CSI 300 Index as an example, it closed up 0.35%. In terms of capital, the trading volume of the two markets rebounded by 1.75401 billion yuan. In the futures index market, IM rose with reduced volume, while the other varieties rose with increased volume [3]. Important Information - Trump said the government shutdown was nearing an end. - China's exports denominated in US dollars decreased by 1.1% year-on-year in October, and imports increased by 1.0% year-on-year. - China's CPI rose 0.2% year-on-year in October, and PPI decreased 2.1% year-on-year [4]. Strategy Recommendation - Hold and wait and see [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - In October, foreign trade fell short of expectations, while prices showed some improvement. The economic downward pressure in Q4 may increase. The year - on - year growth of economic data in Q3 slowed down compared to Q1 and Q2, with cumulative year - on - year negative growth in fixed investment, indicating that the traditional investment - driven economic model may face challenges. Consumption and exports may face pressure. Consumer willingness remains weak, and the slow price recovery in October reflects weak domestic economic recovery momentum. Exports may face year - on - year growth pressure in Q4 2025 due to good performance in Q4 2024. The year - on - year foreign trade data in October dropped significantly compared to September. However, the cancellation of fentanyl tariffs and the extension of the reciprocal tariff suspension period between China and the US on October 30 may support foreign trade in November and December. With the start of the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle, the inverted Sino - US interest rate spread has significantly eased, and the cost rate of banks' interest - bearing liabilities has steadily declined, suggesting that the conditions for a further reduction in policy interest rates may be initially met [2][76]. 3.

PPI's year - on - year decline has narrowed for three consecutive months. From a breakdown perspective, the year - on - year decline in production materials remained flat at - 2.4%, while that in living materials narrowed to - 1.4%, up 0.3 percentage points from September [10][11][16]. - **Foreign Trade**: In October, the year - on - year growth of imports and exports decreased significantly compared to the previous month, falling short of market expectations.

IBO001 was 1.38%, up 2.10 BP; IBO007 was 1.46%, down 0.22 BP. The yields of 1 - year/5 - year/10 - year/30 - year treasury bonds were 1.40%/1.59%/1.82%/2.16% respectively, up 1.8 BP/1.9 BP/1.9 BP/1.6 BP compared to October 31. The yields of 1 - year/5 - year/10 - year local government bonds were 1.48%/1.76%/2.00% respectively, down 0.7 BP/1.3 BP/3.8 BP compared to October 31.

On November 7, 2025, the estimated average and median durations were around 2.1 years, a decrease of about 0.1 years compared to October [73][75]. 3.5 Investment Suggestion - The bond market trend may deviate from the fundamentals in the short term but cannot do so in the long term. Currently, the bond market has significant allocation value, and bond yields may decline fluctuantly. According to seasonal patterns, treasury bond yields usually decline significantly in November and December. Due to weak domestic consumption willingness and the start of the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle, the policy interest rate may be cut by 20 BP in the next six months. The central bank's resumption of treasury bond trading may have set the upper limit for bond yields, and future pricing may reflect the expected policy - rate cut. The report continues to be bullish on the bond market, predicting that the yield of 10Y treasury bonds will return to around 1.65%, the yield of 30Y treasury bonds will reach 1.9%, and the yield of 5Y secondary capital bonds of large banks will reach 1.9% (all referring to bonds without VAT) by the end of the year [76][79].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating The document does not mention the report industry investment rating. 2) Core View of the Report The report analyzes the October 2025 PMI data, indicating that the manufacturing industry is under pressure and the economy still needs policy support. The manufacturing PMI has declined, with structural pressures intensifying, while the service industry has a mild uptick and the construction industry remains sluggish. Future economic improvement requires the implementation of policies such as anti - involution and expanding domestic demand [1][6]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Manufacturing Industry - **Overall Situation**: In October, the manufacturing PMI was 49.0%, down 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, falling below the boom - bust line for seven consecutive months, showing a weakening overall manufacturing industry due to factors like reduced working days, trade frictions, and high inventory [1]. - **Structural Pressures**: All four major sub - indicators of the manufacturing PMI declined. The production index dropped to 49.7%, the new order index to 48.8%, the raw material inventory to 47.3%, and the employment index to 48.3%, indicating weakness in production, demand, and employment [2]. - **Enterprise Scale**: The PMIs of large, medium, and small enterprises were 49.9%, 48.7%, and 47.1% respectively, all in the contraction range. Large enterprises entered the contraction range for the first time in the second half of the year, and small and medium - sized enterprises have been below the boom - bust line for many months [2]. - **Demand Side**: External demand contracted significantly, with the new export order index dropping 1.9 percentage points to 45.9% and the import index falling 1.3 percentage points to 46.8%. Domestic demand was relatively stable, and the domestic market's support for demand increased [3]. - **Industry Categories**: New - energy - related industries had better prosperity, while basic raw material industries were weak. The production index of equipment manufacturing, high - tech manufacturing, and consumer goods manufacturing decreased but remained in the expansion range, while the production index of basic raw material industries dropped below 48% [3]. - **PMI Quantity - Price Sub - Index**: The PMI quantity - price (ex - factory price index) sub - index weakened, reflecting the pressure of demand contraction and poor cost transmission. It may continue the contraction trend in the short term [5]. Service Industry - The service industry PMI was 50.2%, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, hovering around the boom - bust line for many months. Consumer service industries recovered significantly, while production - related service industries fell into the contraction range [5]. Construction Industry - The construction industry PMI was 49.1%, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous value, remaining in the contraction range for three consecutive months. The decline of the real estate market and the slowdown of infrastructure investment were the main reasons for the industry's downturn, but infrastructure - related construction activities showed signs of acceleration [5]. Future Outlook - Economic recovery requires policy support. The implementation of anti - involution and domestic - demand - expansion policies in the fourth quarter will help improve the economy. The injection of new policy - based financial tools, the early use of part of the 2026 fiscal budget, and the "15th Five - Year Plan" will provide impetus for the manufacturing industry [6].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent performance and outlook of fixed income products, highlighting a recovery in the bond market and the varying performance of different types of fixed income investments amid changing economic conditions and market sentiment [1][2]. Summary by Sections Fixed Income Product Performance - In the past month, the bond market has shown signs of recovery, with net values of fixed income products increasing. The leading performers include rights-embedded fixed income products, followed by short-duration assets like interbank certificates of deposit and short-term bond funds [3][10]. - As of October 17, the monthly returns for various products were as follows: rights-embedded bond funds at 0.21% (previously 0.54%), high-grade interbank certificates at 0.15% (previously 0.13%), short-term bond funds at 0.12% (previously 0.05%), and medium to long-term bond funds at 0.12% (previously -0.07%) [3][8]. Bond Market Review - The bond market experienced a phase of warming, with short-duration bonds outperforming long-duration ones. The yield curve initially steepened before flattening, influenced by factors such as the escalation of the US-China trade conflict and a weak economic backdrop [10][11]. - Key observations include: - The one-year government bond yield rose by 5 basis points to 1.44%, while the ten-year yield fell by 1 basis point to 1.83% [16][20]. - The average rates for three-month and one-year AAA interbank certificates increased slightly, indicating a stable liquidity environment [11][20]. Market Outlook - Short-term expectations suggest a stable interbank rate with potential for slight decreases, while medium-term projections indicate a continuation of a range-bound market for bonds, with a possible mild widening of yield spreads [1][32]. - The anticipated range for the ten-year government bond yield is between 1.6% and 2.0% [1][32].
