Major cities are expected to see price rebounds by 2026 [6][9] 4. **Technological Competition** The primary competitive arena between China and the U.S. in the coming years will be technology. Investors should focus on high-quality assets related to technology and emerging industries [7][8] 5. **Government Support for Emerging Industries** The Chinese government is shifting from debt expansion to equity financing, actively supporting emerging industries such as new energy and semiconductors through government funds [3][12][13] 6. **Impact of Central Bank Policies** Following the Central Financial Work Conference, the People's Bank of China has increased support for financial companies, indicating a proactive approach to stabilize and activate capital markets [15] 7. **Investment Opportunities in Strategic Assets** In the context of U.S.-China competition, strategic assets like gold, rare earths, and military-related investments are highlighted as having long-term investment value [22] 8. **Emerging Consumer Trends** The new consumption sector is seen as a potential safe haven amid global market volatility, with specific brands showing significant growth potential [33] 9. **Sector-Specific Recommendations** - **Technology Sector**: Focus on AI, IoT, and semiconductor equipment as key growth areas [24] - **Real Estate**: High-end commercial properties in Hong Kong and mainland China are expected to recover, driven by low-interest rates and high dividend yields [25] - **Gold Sector**: Companies in the gold industry are projected to see substantial profit growth, with some expected to increase production significantly [31][32] Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Consumer Savings Impact** Chinese household savings are substantial, with a significant portion in real estate.

Core Viewpoints - The commodity market closed up 0.46% last week, with precious metals leading the gain at 2.47%, non - ferrous and black metals rising 1.93% and 1.41% respectively, while agricultural products and energy - chemical products fell 0.47% and 1.63% respectively. Due to the re - intensification of the Sino - US trade situation, the commodity market may be under pressure in the short term [2]. - The US government shutdown, economic data uncertainty, inflation resilience, dovish statements from Fed officials, and central bank gold purchases support precious metals, which may fluctuate strongly in the short term. Non - ferrous metals may be under pressure due to trade tensions despite supply disturbances. Black metals are likely to face pressure with weak demand and increasing external trade frictions. Energy prices may oscillate weakly due to inventory increases and geopolitical factors. Chemical products may be affected by trade frictions and oil price drops. Agricultural products may face supply shortages if the trade war persists [3][4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - **Overall Market**: The commodity market rose 0.46% last week. Precious metals led the gain at 2.47%, non - ferrous and black metals rose 1.93% and 1.41% respectively, while agricultural products and energy - chemical products fell 0.47% and 1.63% respectively.

Supply remains tight, but terminal consumption has slowed, and inventories are accumulating. The sector may be under pressure in the short term [3]. - **Black Metals**: During the long holiday, the apparent demand for rebar dropped significantly, production decreased slightly, and inventories increased sharply. With high - level molten iron, weakening steel mill profitability, and increasing external trade frictions, the sector may face pressure in the short term [3]. - **Energy**: International oil prices declined around the National Day holiday.

Oil prices may oscillate weakly in the short term, and attention should be paid to the escalation of the Russia - Ukraine conflict [4]. - **Chemical Products**: For building materials, trade friction may be unfavorable for PVC exports, and PVC may oscillate weakly. Polyester products may be affected by trade friction and oil price drops, facing cost collapse and weak demand [4]. - **Agricultural Products**: Possible US tariff increases may affect domestic soybean supplies in the first and second quarters of next year. If the trade war lasts, the overall supply may tighten in the first quarter of next year.
