Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the divergence between the stock market and the commodity market in China, highlighting a structural bull market in stocks driven by "loose fiscal policy" while commodities face a prolonged bear market due to overcapacity and economic downturns [3][21]. Group 1: Market Performance - The stock market has shown resilience, remaining around 3300 points for nine months, while the commodity market has been dominated by bearish trends, with 39 out of 67 commodity futures contracts declining since the beginning of the year [3][4]. - Key industrial commodities such as coking coal, glass, and methanol have seen significant price drops, with coking coal down 34% in the first half of the year and 80% from its peak in 2021 [4][10]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy Impact - The "loose fiscal policy" since September 2024 is focused on targeted investments in infrastructure, technology, and consumer sectors rather than broad stimulus measures, which has led to a structural bull market in certain sectors of the stock market [6][8]. - The fiscal policy aims to support long-term projects rather than immediate economic stimulation, resulting in a continued deflationary environment with CPI and PPI remaining in negative territory [7][8]. Group 3: Sector Analysis - The sectors benefiting from the fiscal policy include TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications) and certain consumer goods, which are characterized by innovation and high value [8][22]. - Conversely, traditional sectors such as real estate, coal, and paper have struggled due to overcapacity and the ongoing real estate downturn, reflecting a disconnect between stock market performance and commodity prices [9][22]. Group 4: Commodity Market Dynamics - The decline in industrial commodities is attributed to three main factors: the impact of the real estate downturn on black metals, overcapacity in the chemical sector, and excessive investment in new energy leading to supply gluts [10][11]. - The article notes that the only commodities performing well are copper, aluminum, and tin, which are linked to fiscal policy directions and emerging industries [11][12]. Group 5: Market Behavior and Futures - The structure of market participants, primarily producers and traders, influences the commodity market dynamics, where producers engage in hedging to mitigate losses during downturns, leading to prolonged price declines [15][19]. - The article emphasizes that while individual companies may find it rational to hedge and maintain production, this collective behavior can lead to a market-wide inability to stabilize prices, resulting in a continued downward trend [19][20]. Group 6: Conclusion - The article concludes that the stock market reflects expectations while the commodity market is more indicative of current realities, particularly regarding overcapacity issues [21][23]. - The financial market's role in absorbing losses from the real economy is highlighted, suggesting that the current commodity price declines are a result of financial participants sharing the burden of deflation [23][24].
