Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views - The US government shutdown and Sino-US frictions before the APEC meeting have led to a RISK OFF trading mode, negatively impacting overvalued and crowded AI technology assets. The upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan and the Fourth Plenary Session in China next week may bring unexpected positive effects; otherwise, the market may face further adjustment risks [4]. - Domestically, economic data remains weak, especially in consumption and real estate. Industrial enterprise capacity utilization has declined marginally, indicating slow progress in anti-involution policies and ongoing efforts to reverse deflation. Leading companies in pro-cyclical industries are expected to have better profit prospects [4]. - Domestic liquidity is generally loose, but the central bank has tightened funds in the open market. Passive ETF funds and margin trading funds have continued to attract capital, while industrial capital has increased its reduction, and foreign capital has flowed out significantly recently. Credit impulses have started to decline from their peak, weakening the positive impact of market liquidity [4]. - After a short-term small adjustment, the valuations of various indices remain at relatively high historical levels. The equity-bond risk premiums at home and abroad are at historical lows, and broad-based indices have limited attractiveness to allocation funds, but there are still structural opportunities [4]. - Overall, the limited liquidity in the large-scale market makes it difficult to drive continuous growth. During the window of positive macro-policy implementation, the market will choose a direction, with funds shifting from the aggressive growth style to the cyclical style for year-end valuation switching. It is recommended to adopt a high-selling and low-buying strategy for stock index futures next week, selling short IC and IM index futures on rebounds and buying long IF and IH index futures on sharp declines [4].

The transportation volume of highways and railways decreased beyond the seasonal norm, indicating a cooling of exports [56]. - **Imports and Exports**: In terms of exports, the resurgence of Sino - US trade frictions, the approaching expiration of the 90 - day exemption, and the end of the rush to export under tariff disturbances will increase the export pressure marginally in the future [58]. - **Overseas Situation**: The US economic data is strong. Although the US government shutdown has affected the release of CPI and non - farm payroll reports, the market still expects the Fed to cut interest rates twice in the remaining part of 2025, with a total reduction of about 50bp. The probability of an interest rate cut in October is as high as 99%, and the probability in December has risen to 94%. The expected end - of - year interest rate is between 3.5% - 3.75% [61]. 5.

The stock market in October generally has a good profit - making effect, and the style is easy to switch. Considering the high valuation of the growth style and the relatively weak real economy, but with positive macro - policy expectations in October, it is recommended to buy long stock index futures on sharp declines this week and bet on the oversold rebound opportunities of IC and IM [72].
