Core Viewpoint - The macroeconomic environment since August 2025 has been characterized by a strong performance in high-growth sectors, particularly in China's technology stocks, alongside a backdrop of rising global bond yields and shifting currency dynamics [1][3][4].

Group 2: Macro Trading Themes - The primary macro trading themes since August 2025 include a "high-growth narrative" led by the Sci-Tech 50 and ChiNext Index, a "rate cut trade" in the U.S. following downward revisions in employment data, and a rise in "risk aversion" reflected in increasing global bond yields [3][57]. - The U.S. employment data revision has opened a window for potential Fed rate cuts, influencing various asset classes to align with this "rate cut trade" [3][57]. Group 3: Economic Indicators - The macroeconomic indicators show that the U.S. hard data has remained stable while soft data has slightly improved since August, contrasting with Europe and Japan, where economic outlooks are mixed [4][70]. - China's economic indicators suggest a slowdown, with an estimated actual GDP growth of approximately 4.76% for August, aligning with seasonal economic characteristics [4][70].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Stock index: Bullish [1] - Treasury bonds: Sideways [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - The A - share market has shown a "narrowing" trend since September, with high trading congestion in individual themes. Short - term corrections are normal due to factors like profit - taking. In the long run, the dovish stance of the Fed and expectations of multiple interest rate cuts this year will benefit the A - share market. Shanghai's housing policy adjustments and the implementation of the national child - rearing subsidy system will also have a positive impact. Liquidity - driven market trends will continue with obvious structural features and accelerated sector rotation [1]. - On Wednesday, Treasury bond futures closed with gains across different tenors. The central bank conducted 229.1 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations, with a net withdrawal of 150.8 billion yuan due to 379.9 billion yuan of reverse repurchase maturities. After continuous declines in August, the bond market adjustment is basically in place, but the strong performance of the equity market due to anti - involution expectations is negative for long - term bonds. Short - term bonds are expected to remain stable, while long - term bonds will see increased volatility [1][2] 3.

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has experienced a "slow bull" trend over the past year, driven by the rise of China's new economy, a systematic decline in risk-free interest rates, and deepening capital market reforms. The market's profitability has attracted significant capital inflow, alongside a marginal easing of China-US trade relations and expectations of global liquidity easing due to potential Fed rate cuts. The current market presents both opportunities and risks, emphasizing the need for "rational investment" and a focus on long-term wealth accumulation through deep research and balanced asset allocation [1]. Group 1 - The overall valuation is manageable with internal differentiation, facilitating a healthy rotation among sectors. The current PEttm of the Wind All A Index is around 16-17 times, close to the historical average and not reaching the peaks of 2007, 2009, or 2015. New economy sectors like renewable energy, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and new consumption are seeing upward valuation trends, while traditional sectors like banking, real estate, and infrastructure remain undervalued, providing a solid foundation for rotation under stable growth expectations [2]. - The increasing proportion of new economy sectors, supported by traditional sectors, provides long-term upward momentum. The establishment of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board and the Beijing Stock Exchange, along with registration system reforms, has allowed many innovative companies to enter the capital market, enhancing upward elasticity. Additionally, policies promoting carbon neutrality and reducing competition have strengthened the profitability and stability of leading companies in traditional sectors, acting as a stabilizing force for the market [2]. - The growing presence of professional investors has shifted the market towards rational, long-term, and stable investment styles. The continuous growth of domestic public fund sizes and the increasing proportion of long-term capital from insurance and pension funds have led institutional investors to focus more on fundamental research and long-term holdings, changing the market's speculative behavior and reducing impulsive trading [2]. Group 2 - Recent increases in indices like the CSI 300, ChiNext, STAR 50, and North Exchange 50 have primarily been driven by valuation expansion. This valuation increase is supported by new capital inflows, with 196.36 million new A-share accounts opened in July, a year-on-year increase of 70.5%. The margin trading balance has remained above 1.9 trillion for 29 consecutive trading days, with financing purchases accounting for about 9% of A-share trading volume [10]. - Investor optimism regarding future growth has led to unsustainable high growth assumptions in high-growth sectors like AI, renewable energy, and biotechnology. In August, sectors such as defense, electronics, and computing exhibited significantly higher PEttm ratios compared to others, indicating speculative trading behavior. The shift from earning money through company growth to profiting from valuation increases has raised concerns about stability and safety [10]. - In the context of a slow bull market, maintaining rational investment principles is crucial. Key principles include diversifying asset allocation, focusing on intrinsic value, and minimizing exposure to market noise. Maintaining a cash position of 10-20% can enhance investment experience and prevent forced selling of quality assets during market downturns [15][16][17].

Group 2: Sector Performance - The technology growth sector, including optical electronics, semiconductors, and communication equipment, continued to show high prosperity driven by overseas AI investments and domestic substitution demand [3]. - The cyclical sector faced pressure, but precious metals and minor metals still grew rapidly due to rising expectations of overseas interest rate cuts and tight supply [3]. - Essential consumption faced general pressure, but sectors like breeding, feed, and animal health showed significant growth due to capacity reduction and the expansion of the pet economy [3]. Group 3: Capacity Operation - In Q2 2025, traditional cyclical resources and equipment manufacturing industries are experiencing strong capacity decommissioning intentions, while emerging industries and new materials are showing expansion characteristics [4]. - The capacity utilization rate in emerging technology hardware and some consumer industries remains high, with marginal improvements observed [4]. - The capacity cycle is entering an expansion phase, particularly in emerging technology industries, new consumption, and certain cyclical materials [4].
