Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views Index Futures - On Wednesday morning, the A-share market fluctuated and declined, but rebounded in the afternoon driven by the artificial intelligence sector. Ignoring the overnight decline of US stocks and Asia-Pacific stock indices, index futures soared in a short-squeeze situation, contrasting with the limit-down of lithium carbonate. The loose capital situation is the main reason. Under the central bank's loose policy, funds flow into the stock and futures markets in search of returns. With the improvement of residents' wealth management awareness and the decline of the attractiveness of real estate, some funds have turned to the financial sector, enriching the stock market capital pool. The general bullish sentiment in the market forms a positive feedback - investors' buying drives up prices, and rising prices attract more funds, amplifying the gains. This change in sentiment and confidence has become an important psychological basis for the short-squeeze market of index futures IM and IC [1]. Treasury Bond Futures - Taking the previous high as a reference, if the subsequent adjustment of yields cannot break through the previous high (for example, the previous high of 2.06% for the active 30-year treasury bond 2500002), then the most severe impact of the strong performance of the equity market on the bond market may have passed. At the same time, the bond market has also witnessed marginal positive factors such as the return of loose capital after the tax period and the relief of the fund redemption pressure after the previous release. This environment is conducive to the stabilization of bond market sentiment and also helps the bond market and the equity market to trade according to their own logics in the subsequent process [1].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views Index Futures - The U.S. Treasury Secretary believes that the U.S. interest rate should be 150 - 175 basis points lower than the current level. China's new social financing in July was 1.16 trillion yuan, RMB loans decreased by 5 billion yuan, and the M2 - M1 gap narrowed. The central bank's media suggests not over - hyping single - month credit fluctuations. The expectation of a September interest rate cut is strengthened, and the Secretary's statement reinforces the market's anticipation of a larger cut. The index's strength is due to positive policies, continuous capital inflows, and frequent event catalysts. After reaching a short - term high, it may oscillate to wash out floating chips, but the medium - term upward trend remains unchanged [2].
