Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - During the two trading days before and after the double festivals (2025.09.29 - 2025.10.10), the market once reached a new high, with upstream resource products leading the rise, and lithium batteries, steel, and military industries taking turns to perform. However, the capital support for the pre - holiday rebound was weaker than before, and the market quickly declined on Friday after a brief post - holiday rebound. Some funds saw the decline as an opportunity to increase positions [11]. - The resurgence of the tariff issue is a continuation of the global tariff war since April. Although the current valuation of the equity market is significantly higher than in April, China's "double - loose" policy is clear, and investors have more experience in dealing with such situations [11]. - The market under the current friction may mainly involve profit - taking of the booming assets since the third quarter. If a style switch occurs, the market's development path depends on specific triggering factors [13]. - The essence of the current upstream resource stock market represented by non - ferrous metals is the switch of the valuation logic of resource stocks from the cycle to DCF with higher cash - flow visibility under the background of supply constraints and geopolitical instability. This logic will continue as long as commodity prices do not continuously decline [4][13]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Market Observation - **Equity Market Review and Observation** - From 2025.09.29 to 2025.10.10, the market reached a new high, with upstream resource products leading. The pre - holiday rebound lacked capital support, and the market declined on Friday after a brief post - holiday rebound. When the market tumbled last Friday, there were net purchases of CSI 300, ChiNext, and STAR Market ETFs [11]. - On the evening of October 10, 2025, Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on China and cancel the APEC meeting between Chinese and US leaders, causing a sharp decline in risk assets. This trade conflict is a continuation of the global tariff war since April, and the conflict may escalate and spread to other fields [11]. - The current valuation of the equity market is higher than in April, but China's "double - loose" policy is clear, and investors have more experience in dealing with such situations [11]. - In the third quarter, the market's structural market was extreme, with technology innovation sectors rising significantly and pro - cyclical assets performing poorly. The market's ability to continue to rise depends on whether high - valuation hot sectors can maintain their upward momentum and whether low - valuation traditional pro - cyclical sectors can improve their fundamentals [12]. - The market under the current friction may mainly involve profit - taking of booming assets. If a style switch occurs, the development path depends on specific factors such as economic policies, the slowdown of booming industries, or geopolitical factors [13]. - The demand for energy metals is increasing, and the supply of strategic minor metals is restricted by anti - globalization. The valuation logic of upstream resource stocks represented by non - ferrous metals has switched from the cycle to DCF, and this logic will continue as long as commodity prices do not continuously decline [13]. 3.2 Active Equity Fund Index Performance Tracking - **Performance Statistics** - From 2025.10.09 to 2025.10.10, the Active Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 1.63%, the Value Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 0.09%, the Balanced Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.13%, the Growth Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.63%, the Pharmaceutical Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.66%, the Consumption Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 0.93%, the Technology Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.63%, the High - end Manufacturing Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 4.56%, and the Cyclical Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 1.42% [6][14]. - Since its establishment, the Active Stock Fund Preferred Index has recorded an excess return of 13.38%, the Value Stock Fund Preferred Index 4.80%, the Balanced Stock Fund Preferred Index 8.75%, the Growth Stock Fund Preferred Index 13.56%, the Pharmaceutical Stock Fund Preferred Index 19.67%, the Consumption Stock Fund Preferred Index 23.42%, the Technology Stock Fund Preferred Index 20.72%, the High - end Manufacturing Stock Fund Preferred Index - 5.99%, and the Cyclical Stock Fund Preferred Index - 1.99% [6]. - **Index Positioning and Benchmarks** - **Active Stock Fund Preferred Index**: 15 funds are selected each period and equally weighted.
