Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints - Based on historical patterns and the current policy - economic environment, it is likely that a dual - bull market for stocks and commodities will reappear from 2025 to 2026. Commodities will lead the way first, and the stock market will experience a full - scale upsurge after profit realization. In the context of the "Fed rate - cut cycle" and the "initiation of the restocking cycle", future commodity demand may shift from a structural recovery to a full - scale expansion, driving up the prices of non - ferrous metals, crude oil, and energy - chemical products. The stock market is currently in the early stage of a bull market and is about to transition to a subsequent profit - driven stage. In the second half of 2025, the Shanghai Composite Index is expected to break through 4,000 points and rise at an accelerated pace. If the "anti - involution" reform can effectively address the negative feedback of insufficient domestic demand and over - capacity, Chinese assets may undergo a systematic revaluation comparable to that in 2007 [21]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 2005 - 2007 Double - Bull Market Characteristics - **Stock Market Evolution Path**: In June 2005, the Shanghai Composite Index hit a historical low of 998 points. Then, catalyzed by the split - share structure reform policy, it rebounded to 1,300 points and entered a six - month sideways oscillation period. Starting in 2006, driven by over - heated economy and excessive liquidity, the index started an epic rally, reaching a historical peak of 6,124 points in October 2007, with a cumulative increase of 513.6% [5]. - **Commodity Leading Start**: The commodity market started half a year earlier than the stock market. In the summer of 2006, against the backdrop of accelerated global industrialization (especially high infrastructure and real - estate investment in China) and a weakening US dollar, the prices of industrial products such as copper, zinc, and crude oil entered a bull market first. During the 2004 - 2006 interest - rate hike cycle, the price of copper increased by 144.3%, crude oil by 105.6%, and the precious metal gold by 39.1% [5]. - **Core Driving Logic**: This market was essentially driven by both "fundamentals + liquidity". The split - share structure reform removed institutional constraints, high - speed economic growth boosted corporate profits, and a surge in trade surplus and RMB appreciation expectations led to excessive liquidity, jointly driving up asset prices [8]. Similarities and Differences between the Current Market and the 2005 - 2007 Cycle Similarities - **Policy - Driven Starting Point**: Both bull markets started with major institutional reforms. In 2005, the split - share structure reform solved the problem of non - tradable shares. The current round focuses on the "anti - involution" policy, targeting over - capacity and low - price competition to promote supply - side clearance [12]. - **Sideways Accumulation Phase**: The stock market experienced a long - term oscillation after the initial policy stimulus. In 2005, it traded sideways at 1,300 points for half a year. In the current round, after the policy bottom was established in September 2024, it traded sideways for about eight months until the commodity bull market spread to the cyclical sectors of the stock market in June 2025 [12]. - **Commodities Leading the Stock Market**: Commodities reacted earlier than the stock market. In 2006, the commodity market started half a year earlier than the stock market. Since June 2025, ultra - oversold commodities such as coking coal, polysilicon, and lithium carbonate have rebounded significantly, with a much faster increase rate than the stock market [12]. Differences - **Policy Focus Shift**: In 2005, the focus was on demand stimulation (real - estate marketization + export tax rebates). The current round focuses on supply optimization (a unified national market + elimination of backward production capacity), and the covered industries have expanded from traditional steel and coal to emerging fields such as photovoltaics and lithium - ion batteries [13]. - **Economic Structure Transformation**: In 2005, the economy relied on investment and exports. Currently, it needs to rely on manufacturing upgrading and consumption recovery under the downward pressure of the real - estate market [14]. Policy Analysis - **2005 Reform**: The split - share structure reform in 2005 solved the historical problem of non - tradable shares, achieved a fully tradable market, and attracted large - scale entry of foreign and domestic funds, laying a liquidity foundation for the bull market. Meanwhile, "monetization of shantytown renovation" digested real - estate inventory, and infrastructure investment grew at an average annual rate of over 20%, directly boosting the demand for commodities such as steel and non - ferrous metals [17]. - **2024 - 2025 "Anti - Involution"**: The policy core from 2024 to 2025 has shifted to solving "involution - type over - capacity". Its framework has evolved from a concept to a systematic governance approach. The deep - seated logic is to break the vicious cycle of "increasing volume without increasing revenue". In July 2024, the Political Bureau meeting first proposed preventing "involution - type vicious competition", focusing on industry self - discipline. In July 2025, the meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission upgraded it to "legally governing low - price disorderly competition and promoting the orderly exit of backward production capacity", targeting local protectionism and the bundling of investment - promotion interests, which has a significant impact on both traditional industries led by steel and cement and emerging industries led by photovoltaics and new - energy vehicles [18]. Commodity - to - Stock Market Conduction Logic - **2006 - 2007**: Commodities started first in 2006. Driven by the resonance of China's accelerated industrialization and the global inventory - replenishment cycle, the supply and demand of metals such as copper and aluminum and crude oil tightened. The price of copper rose from $2,980 to $7,280 (a 144.3% increase), and crude oil rose from $35.76 to $73.52 (a 105.6% increase). The stock market reacted later in 2007. The rise in commodity prices boosted corporate profits, with the profit growth rate of resource - related listed companies exceeding 100%, leading to a rally in cyclical stocks. The average increase of the non - ferrous metals sector was 400 - 500%, and coal stocks rose by more than 300%, and the rally spread to other sectors [19]. - **2025 Market**: The current commodity bull market started in June this year, earlier than the overall start of the stock market, but has significantly spread to relevant A - share sectors. Recently, coking coal, coke, soda ash, polysilicon, lithium carbonate, etc. have led the gains. The price of coking coal has rebounded by more than 50% from the bottom, and the price of polysilicon has broken through 50,000 yuan/ton from around 30,000 yuan/ton. The main driving factors include a reversal of policy expectations, industry losses forcing change, and the release of restocking demand. Since June, the cyclical sectors have responded to the rise in commodity prices first, showing a "commodity - mapped" increase [20]. Investment Recommendations - Build long - term positions in long - cycle scarce commodities such as copper, aluminum, and silver and hold them for the long term. - Build long - term positions in stock - index futures or other stock - related assets and hold them across years for the long term [23].
