Core Insights - Since July 2023, after a round of technology-driven market performance, the speed of industry rotation has decreased, yet it remains at a historical median level over the past decade. The proprietary macro-friendly indicator system indicates a correlation of 0.7 with industry rotation speed, suggesting strong explanatory power. For Q4 2025, the macro drivers of industry rotation are expected to slightly increase, with rotation speed projected to be lower than in 2024 but higher than in 2021, indicating a potential for moderate levels of rotation. A relatively balanced allocation strategy may be a better choice under the expectation of continued structural market conditions [1][4]. Group 1 - The current industry rotation speed is at a historical median level, with the indicator based on the rolling cumulative excess returns of 30 primary industries relative to the Wind All A index. Since July 2023, following a technology-led market rally, the rotation speed has declined, with market consensus expectations gradually strengthening. The current indicator is near the 50th percentile, indicating a moderate level of industry rotation [2][11]. - The macro-friendly indicator system has been developed to construct the industry rotation macro driver indicator. This indicator is defined as the difference between the Chinese financial cycle friendliness and inventory cycle friendliness, adjusted by the US macro friendliness. The correlation between the Chinese financial-inventory cycle and industry rotation speed exceeds 0.6, while the US macro friendliness has a correlation close to -0.6. The combined industry rotation macro driver shows a correlation of 0.7 with industry rotation speed, which is at a historical median as of August 2025 [3][18]. Group 2 - For Q4 2025, the macro drivers of industry rotation are expected to slightly increase, with both the Chinese financial cycle and inventory cycle friendliness anticipated to rise to varying degrees. The US macro friendliness is also expected to increase slightly due to a more favorable financial cycle and a recovery in the inventory cycle. Overall, the macro drivers of industry rotation are projected to experience slight fluctuations, with rotation speed expected to be lower than in 2024 but higher than in 2021, suggesting a moderate level of rotation. A relatively balanced allocation strategy may be more favorable in the context of ongoing structural market expectations [4][21][22].
