Report's Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The macroeconomic data in June was mixed.

The domestic economy is in a state of having a bottom but lacking upward momentum, and the pressure on nominal GDP is higher than that on real GDP. Macroeconomic policies need to increase support to boost market confidence. "Boosting domestic demand and combating cut - throat competition" will be important policy approaches. Despite the twists and turns, the macroeconomy and asset prices in 2025 are expected to continue the upward repair trend [3]. Summary by Directory 1.

The inventory of commercial housing slightly decreased [29][31][33]. - In June, the real - estate market cooled in the second quarter, but it is still in an improving trend, including the stabilization of commercial - housing sales growth and a significant rebound in second - hand housing transactions. The real - estate market is at the bottoming - out stage. With the decline of the base, the year - on - year decline in the sales area and volume of commercial housing will further narrow. Real - estate policies still have room for further strengthening [36][37][39]. 7. Summary and Outlook - In general, the domestic economic data in June was mixed. Industrial production was strong, and exports maintained high growth. However, the recovery momentum of the domestic economy needs to be strengthened, the price index was weak, the real - estate market was still at the bottoming - out stage, and the endogenous consumption demand was weak. The macroeconomy is in a state of having a bottom but lacking upward momentum [40]. - The main factors affecting the poor perception of the macroeconomy and the repair of asset prices are the overall lack of market demand and the structural over - capacity in multiple industries, leading to downward pressure on the price index and weak recovery of corporate profits. "Boosting domestic demand and combating cut - throat competition" will be important policy approaches. In 2025, the macroeconomy and asset prices are expected to continue the upward repair trend, and patience is needed [40].
