1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for stock index futures is "bullish", and for treasury bond futures is "sideways" [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market fluctuated strongly throughout the day, with the Shanghai Composite Index returning above 3,900 points. The Sino - US trade dispute may impact the index in the short term, but there are still many uncertainties. Before the important meeting on October 20th, the index may be in an adjustment phase. Some domestic securities firms have adjusted the margin conversion ratio of some individual stocks from 60% to 0, which may affect the valuation of technology stocks if leveraged funds leave the market in the short term. However, the long - term upward momentum of the index mainly comes from internal policy expectations, and the short - term decline in IV may be a buying opportunity. One can deploy small - position out - of - the - money call options for November. For treasury bond futures, the central bank's operations have led to a marginal loosening of the capital market, and the escalation of the Sino - US tariff war has increased risk - aversion sentiment [1] 3.
