Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The focus is on the **Asia-Pacific equity market** and its relationship with the **US dollar** movements, particularly how currency fluctuations impact equity performance in the region. Core Insights and Arguments - **Currency Impact on Equity Returns**: Currency moves have historically contributed an average of **16%** to the MXAPJ index USD price return over the past **20 years**. This impact is significant and varies across different Asian markets [2][9][15]. - **Correlation with Dollar Movements**: There is a strong inverse correlation (60-80%) between regional equity returns and the dollar, indicating that Asian equities tend to perform better when the dollar weakens [6][19]. - **Future Dollar Weakness**: The dollar has declined **10%** since its peak in January, and further depreciation is expected due to factors such as overvaluation, narrowing interest rate differentials, and high budget deficits [7][8][10]. - **Earnings Sensitivity**: MXAPJ earnings have a neutral beta of **+0.1x** to a weaker dollar, with a potential **+0.2%** earnings revision for a **5%** annual-average appreciation of local currencies against the USD. Japan's earnings are negatively impacted by a stronger yen, estimated at **-3%** for a **5%** appreciation [6][44]. - **Valuation Effects**: Each **1%** appreciation in Asian FX leads to a **0.1x** increase in the MXAPJ forward P/E ratio, with Japan being an outlier showing a negative sensitivity [6][57]. - **Portfolio Flows**: A weaker dollar is associated with increased foreign investor flows into Asian equities, which contribute to stronger equity returns. The correlation between foreign equity flows and Asian equity performance is about **75%** on a 3-year rolling basis [66][67]. Important but Overlooked Content - **Intraregional Differences**: Different Asian markets exhibit varying sensitivities to dollar movements. For instance, Hong Kong and China show higher sensitivity, while Japan and Taiwan are less affected [78]. - **Sector Performance**: Higher beta sectors such as media, entertainment, and autos tend to outperform during periods of USD weakness, while defensive sectors like telecom and utilities lag behind [33][34]. - **Implementation Strategies**: The report suggests screening for stocks that may benefit from a weaker dollar, focusing on those with negative share price correlation with the dollar and high USD debt exposure. Conversely, stocks with high US sales exposure may be negatively impacted [82][83]. Conclusion - The outlook for Asian equities remains constructive, supported by the expectation of further dollar depreciation and favorable monetary policy conditions. The dynamics between currency movements and equity performance will be crucial for investors to monitor as they navigate the market into **2026** [10][67].

Report Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall economic situation shows that China is in a marginal de - leveraging process. The growth rate of the real - sector's liabilities is expected to decline, and the government's liability growth rate is also trending down. The economic growth rate needs further observation, and the risk preference has increased recently, with the stock - bond ratio favoring stocks [1][2][6]. - It is recommended to use the equity growth style instead of the bond position this week, suggesting an allocation of 60% in the Shanghai Composite 50 Index and 40% in the CSI 1000 Index. In the de - leveraging cycle, the stock - bond ratio favors equities to a limited extent, and value stocks are more likely to outperform. A + H and A - share dividend portfolios are recommended, mainly concentrated in industries such as banking, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemicals, and transportation [8][9][10]. Summary by Directory 1. National Balance Sheet Analysis - **Liability Side**: In September 2025, the real - sector's liability growth rate was 8.9%, expected to remain stable around 8.9% in October and then decline to about 8.5% by the end of the year. The government's liability growth rate was 14.5% in September, expected to drop to around 14.0% in October and 13.0% by the end of the year.

The full - year nominal economic growth target for 2025 is around 4.9%, and it remains to be seen whether this will become the central target for China's nominal economic growth in the next 1 - 2 years [3]. 2. Stock - Bond Cost - effectiveness and Stock - Bond Style - **Overall Outlook for 2025**: China's asset prices are mainly affected by changes in the national balance sheet. The real GDP growth rate on the asset side is expected to fluctuate between 4 - 5%, and the liability growth rate of the real sector is expected to decline. The stock - bond cost - effectiveness generally favors bonds, but recently, due to the increase in risk preference, it has shifted towards stocks [21][6]. - **Recent Market Performance**: Last week, the money market was stable, risk preference increased significantly over the weekend, resulting in rising stocks and falling bonds. The equity style shifted to growth - oriented, and the stock - bond cost - effectiveness favored stocks. The ten - year Treasury yield rose by 2 basis points to 1.85%, and the one - year Treasury yield rose by 3 basis points to 1.47% [6]. - **Investment Recommendations**: This week, it is recommended to use the equity growth style instead of the bond position, suggesting an allocation of 60% in the Shanghai Composite 50 Index and 40% in the CSI 1000 Index [8]. 3.
