Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the potential impact of recent global market movements and key upcoming events on the domestic capital market after the National Day holiday, highlighting three critical events to watch for [3]. Group 1: Key Events Impacting Capital Markets - The first key event is the potential end of the U.S. government shutdown, which has created significant uncertainty in the capital markets. The shutdown is a result of deep political divisions, reflecting broader societal issues in the U.S. [4][5]. If the shutdown continues, it may delay the release of important economic data, affecting market expectations for interest rate cuts [6][7]. - The second key event is the anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, particularly whether a cut will occur at the end of October and if the market's expectations for a December cut will be met. The recent delay in the release of non-farm payroll data due to the shutdown complicates this situation [8][9][10]. Current market sentiment suggests a high probability of a rate cut this month, which would be favorable for the domestic market [11][12][14]. - The third key event is the stance of the domestic regulatory authorities regarding market fluctuations. In September, the authorities set a cap on the market index, preventing it from exceeding 3900 points due to rapid gains in previous months [19][21]. However, with the new month, there is potential for a more favorable market environment, as the authorities may allow for some upward movement in the index [25][26][27]. Group 2: Market Sentiment and Opportunities - The article emphasizes the importance of market sentiment and liquidity, suggesting that the combination of external interest rate cuts and domestic policy adjustments could lead to a limited upward trend in the capital market in October [26][27]. - It encourages investors to identify assets with growth potential to capitalize on the upcoming market movements, indicating that there are opportunities for entry at lower prices [28]. - The article also promotes a live course designed to help investors understand the current market dynamics and identify investment opportunities, providing insights into asset allocation strategies [29][31][32].
