The first quarter saw a revaluation of Chinese assets led by DeepSeek, while the second quarter was characterized by strong performance in US stocks driven by AI leaders and capital expenditure growth [1][2] - Since late November, Hong Kong stocks have underperformed compared to US and A-shares, with the Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng Tech Index showing declines of 2.2% and 0.7% respectively, while the Shanghai Composite and US indices posted gains [2][3] - The report attributes the recent weakness of Hong Kong stocks to their sensitivity to liquidity changes and structural differences, with a notable slowdown in southbound capital inflows and external liquidity support [3][4] Market Dynamics - Southbound capital inflows have decreased significantly, with a 10-day moving average dropping from an average of 7 billion HKD to below 1 billion HKD, leading to concerns about potential fund outflows due to regulatory changes [3][4] - External liquidity has also been a concern, with active foreign capital flowing out of Hong Kong while inflows into A-shares have continued. The report notes that recent hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve have contributed to a lack of external liquidity support for Hong Kong stocks [3][4] - Despite the short-term liquidity disturbances, the report suggests that the fundamental weakness in the market has amplified negative sentiment, particularly in the context of the unique industry structure of Hong Kong stocks [4][5] Sector Analysis - The technology sector, primarily focused on internet applications in Hong Kong, faces concerns over an AI bubble, while A-shares benefit from a higher proportion of hardware-related stocks, providing stronger support [5][6] - The consumer sector in Hong Kong, particularly discretionary spending, is struggling due to weak domestic consumption recovery and a declining credit cycle, which limits its potential as a market driver [5][6] - The cyclical sector has shown some strength, particularly in metals, but its overall weight in the Hong Kong market is low, limiting its ability to provide substantial support [5][6] Future Outlook - The report anticipates that Hong Kong stocks will be more sensitive to liquidity and fundamental changes, with potential for stronger performance if the credit cycle improves and risk appetite increases [5][6] - Historical patterns indicate that Hong Kong stocks tend to outperform during periods of fundamental recovery and ample liquidity, but recent trends suggest a need to consider structural differences among the markets [6][7] - For 2026, the report emphasizes the importance of liquidity, fundamental conditions, and structural opportunities in determining market performance, with a focus on the potential for recovery in the US credit cycle and the challenges facing the Chinese credit cycle [9][10]

- The report discusses multiple quantitative models for market timing, including short-term, medium-term, and long-term models. These models are constructed based on principles such as price-volume relationships, momentum, and calendar effects. The short-term models include the "Volume Model," "Feature Institutional Model," and "Feature Volume Model," while medium-term models include the "Limit-Up/Down Model" and "Up/Down Return Difference Model." The long-term model is the "Long-Term Momentum Model"[8][11][12][13] - The construction process of these models involves combining signals from different time horizons and strategies. For example, the "Volume Model" evaluates market activity through trading volume, while the "Momentum Model" focuses on price trends. The "Limit-Up/Down Model" identifies market sentiment by analyzing the frequency of limit-up and limit-down events. The "Up/Down Return Difference Model" measures the difference between upward and downward returns to gauge market direction[8][11][12] - The evaluation of these models suggests that combining signals from different models enhances robustness. For instance, some models are defensive, while others are aggressive, allowing for a balanced approach. The report emphasizes that simplicity in model design often leads to better generalization and performance[8][11][12] - Backtesting results for these models indicate varying levels of effectiveness. For example, the "Long-Term Momentum Model" is currently bullish, while the "Up/Down Return Difference Model" shows a positive outlook across all broad-based indices. The "Feature Institutional Model" is bullish, whereas the "Feature Volume Model" is bearish. The "Volume Model" remains neutral across all indices[11][12][13]
