1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The export growth rate rebounded and turned positive in November 2025, indicating strong resilience in foreign trade. The root cause of China's exports continuously exceeding expectations lies in the high cost - effectiveness of Chinese goods, which is the result of domestic "involution" and technological progress. Although the export growth rate may slow down in December due to the high base in 2024, the high cost - effectiveness of Chinese goods will remain unchanged, and China's exports will remain high for a long time. In the bond market, with the revision of economic expectations, bond yields are expected to rise trend - wise [1][5][6][7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 11 - month Import and Export Data Highlights - In November 2025, the year - on - year growth rates of imports, exports, and trade surplus all rebounded. Exports increased by 5.9% year - on - year and 8.2% month - on - month, and the export amount reached a high level since 2021 [3][4]. 3.2 Reasons for the Rebound of Export Growth Rate in November - The negative year - on - year export growth in October was mainly due to the base dislocation in September and October 2024 and trade frictions. After the China - US talks in Kuala Lumpur and the meeting in Busan, the conclusion of trade agreements promoted the return of the export rhythm to normal. After the elimination of base disturbances, the export growth rate rebounded and turned positive in November [5]. 3.3 Analysis of Export Structure - As of November 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth of mechanical and electrical products exports was 8.0%, and that of high - tech product exports was 6.6%, showing relatively high - speed growth. In contrast, the cumulative year - on - year decrease of labor - intensive goods was 4.2%, indicating a transformation from labor - intensive to high - tech products in exports, which may reflect China's industrial transformation and upgrading [6]. 3.4 Forecast of Export Growth Rate in December - Due to the high base caused by the rush to export in December 2024 after Trump's election and the resulting increase in trade policy uncertainty, the export growth rate in December 2025 may be under pressure. However, the high cost - effectiveness of Chinese goods will not change [7]. 3.5 Market Conditions - On December 8, the long - term yield first rose and then fell, showing an "M" - shaped trend. After the Politburo meeting mentioned the implementation of a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, the long - term yield quickly declined. Attention should be paid to the Fed's interest rate decision and the Central Economic Work Conference [8]. 3.6 Bond Market Viewpoints - In the context of the revision of economic expectations, bond yields are expected to rise trend - wise. For stock and bond allocation, the previous views are maintained [9].
