Group 1: Report Summary - The report focuses on the key events during the National Day holiday and the outlook for the bond market. It points out that consumption showed a characteristic of "increasing quantity but decreasing price" during the holiday, with tourism and travel recovering steadily. However, the prices of air tickets and hotels declined year-on-year, and the performance of urban travel, box office, and real estate was weak. The sustainability of consumer recovery and the strength of corporate profit repair remain to be seen. The bond market is likely to have a repair opportunity in the fourth quarter as the fundamentals gradually gain more pricing power [2][6]. Group 2: Holiday Consumption and Travel - **Travel Volume Increase**: From October 1 to 8, the daily average cross - regional population flow reached 304 million person - times, a 6.2% year - on - year increase compared to the 7 - day average of the 2024 National Day holiday, hitting a record high. The international passenger flow from September 30 to October 6 increased by 15.3% year - on - year [5][6]. - **Price Decline**: As of October 7, the 7 - day moving average of domestic aviation fuel - included ticket prices decreased by 3.8% year - on - year, and business route ticket prices generally declined. The RevPAR of domestic hotels from September 22 to 28 decreased by 4% year - on - year, indicating that profitability has not significantly recovered. The box office revenue and average ticket price from October 1 to 7 decreased by 18% and 10% respectively [6]. Group 3: Global Capital Market Performance - **Stock Market**: During the National Day holiday (October 1 - 7), major developed countries' and Hong Kong stock indices strengthened. The Nikkei 225 led the gains, with the Nasdaq and Hang Seng Tech rising by 0.6% and 1.3% respectively. The healthcare and information technology sectors in both US and Hong Kong markets rose significantly [6]. - **Commodities**: Precious metals and non - ferrous metals performed well. London gold and silver rose by 4.0% and 4.9% respectively, and LME copper, zinc, and aluminum rose by 3.5%, 2.5%, and 1.5% respectively [6]. - **Bond Yields**: Most major countries' long - term bond yields rose, while the 10Y US Treasury yield dropped 2BP to 4.14%, mainly due to the expected weakening of employment data and the "shutdown" of the US government [6]. - **Exchange Rates**: The US dollar index rose by 0.8%, the Japanese yen depreciated by 2.7% against the US dollar, and the offshore RMB against the US dollar depreciated slightly by 0.2% [6]. Group 4: Market Transaction Themes - **Interest Rate Cut Expectations**: The unexpected decline in ADP employment data led to increased expectations of an interest rate cut, and concerns about debt sustainability due to the US government "shutdown" caused gold prices to rise and the US stock market to fluctuate. However, it is expected that the debt ceiling issue will be resolved and will not cause continuous market disturbances [6]. - **Japanese Market Outlook**: With the likely victory of Kōichi Tashiro in the Japanese prime ministerial election, the expectation of a Japanese yen interest rate hike has been postponed. The implementation of active fiscal and monetary policies may lead to a market pattern of a strong Japanese stock market, a weak yen, and weak Japanese bonds [6]. Group 5: Bond Market Outlook - As the fundamentals gradually gain more pricing power in the bond market in the fourth quarter, the bond market is likely to have a repair opportunity. However, the sustainability of consumer recovery and the strength of corporate profit repair need further observation as prices have not fully stabilized [2][6].
