The absence of key employment data has led to increased market speculation that the likelihood of a rate cut in December has diminished [1][2]. AI Sector Analysis - Nvidia's earnings report exceeded expectations; however, there are concerns regarding diminishing marginal returns in the AI sector. The sustainability of AI's growth is contingent upon new narratives and key players, as the current marginal utility is declining [1][2]. Investment Strategy - In the context of limited liquidity and weak fundamentals in the AI sector, it is advisable to avoid industries that have seen excessive gains. Short-term investment strategies should focus on dividend-paying assets such as banks, insurance, electricity, and coal to mitigate net asset volatility and secure relative returns. Despite short-term adjustments, the long-term outlook for the A-share market remains bullish [2].
