Core Viewpoint - Recent positive factors have collectively strengthened the RMB, with the exchange rate rising since mid-August and aligning closer to the central parity. Weak US labor market data and expectations of interest rate cuts have contributed to this trend. The RMB's appreciation is expected to continue in the context of a potential new round of US dollar depreciation driven by fiscal and monetary policies under the "Trump Reset" initiative [2][10]. Group 1: RMB Strengthening Factors - The RMB exchange rate has strengthened since mid-August, with the onshore rate approaching 7.10 and the offshore rate surpassing 7.10, marking new highs since November 2024 [4]. - Weak US labor market data, including significant downward revisions to non-farm employment and lower-than-expected job openings, have led to increased market expectations for interest rate cuts [4][5]. - China's exports have shown resilience, with a cumulative year-on-year growth of 5.9% from January to August 2025, exceeding market expectations [4]. Group 2: Impact of Weak Dollar on Emerging Markets - A weak dollar typically boosts global investment demand and economic growth in emerging markets, benefiting the profitability of export-oriented companies [3]. - The weak dollar enhances capital flows into emerging markets, improving their balance sheets and encouraging capital expenditures, which in turn supports economic recovery [12][21]. - Historical data indicates that a one standard deviation depreciation of the dollar index leads to a 0.16% increase in monthly capital inflows to emerging market equities [21]. Group 3: A/H Share Market Dynamics - The weak dollar and loose monetary conditions are expected to improve the profitability, valuation, and liquidity of A/H shares [26]. - A weak dollar typically leads to increased foreign capital inflows into the A/H market, with significant inflows observed in 2025, contrasting with net outflows in the previous year [35]. - The Hang Seng Index has shown greater elasticity to the dollar index compared to the CSI 300, with respective elasticities of -2.5 and -1.2, indicating a stronger response to dollar depreciation [40]. Group 4: Sector Performance under Currency Fluctuations - The appreciation of the RMB is expected to favor growth sectors in the A/H market, particularly in information technology and materials [50]. - Under a weak dollar scenario, A-share growth and value styles have shown average monthly returns of 3.6% and 2.6%, respectively, while the corresponding figures for Hong Kong stocks are 3.4% and 2.2% [51]. - Specific sectors such as consumer staples, materials, finance, and information technology are anticipated to perform well during periods of RMB appreciation [28][50].

Core Viewpoint - The report "Interpretation of China's Statistical Indicators: Concepts, Methods, and Implications" by CICC systematically organizes key macroeconomic statistical indicators in China, covering six major areas: economic activities, income, foreign economy, monetary finance, prices, and population and employment [1][10]. Economic Activities - Key indicators include GDP calculated by production, income, and expenditure methods, with the income method being predominant annually. There is a noted underestimation of self-owned housing value [1][11]. - The industrial added value above designated size includes enterprises with annual main business income exceeding 20 million yuan, calculated monthly using PPI [1][11]. - PMI is divided into official and Caixin PMI, with the former being more representative due to a larger sample size [1][11]. - Fixed asset investment is subject to overestimation, as seen in 2016 when some provinces reported investments exceeding GDP [1][11]. - Retail sales of consumer goods include online retail and differentiate between surveyed units above and below a certain threshold [1][11]. Income - Income indicators encompass corporate profits (operating surplus, industrial enterprise profits) and resident income (average wages in urban units, average monthly income of migrant workers, per capita disposable income), with the latter facing issues of underreporting high-income groups [1][11]. - Fiscal revenue and expenditure are categorized into narrow (general public budget) and broad (including four types of revenue and expenditure) [1][11]. Foreign Economy - Foreign economic indicators include customs trade in goods (exports calculated on FOB, imports on CIF), FDI and ODI, balance of payments, and foreign exchange reserves controlled by the central bank [1][11]. Monetary Finance - Monetary indicators consist of money supply (M0, M1, M2), new loans, total social financing, and various monetary policy tools such as benchmark interest rates and reserve requirements [1][11]. - Interest rate indicators include repo rates, Shibor, and government bond yields, along with onshore and offshore RMB exchange rates [1][11]. Prices - Price indicators include CPI (covering 262 basic categories with a high weight on food), PPI (covering over 50,000 industrial enterprises), GDP deflator, and housing prices in 70 large and medium-sized cities [1][11]. Population and Employment - Population indicators include total population, age structure (reflected by dependency ratios), employment numbers, urban new employment, and survey unemployment rates, which have been published monthly since 2013 for more accuracy [1][11].

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve unexpectedly cut interest rates by 50 basis points, initiating a new easing cycle, with a total of three consecutive cuts. However, in 2025, the Fed maintained its stance for five consecutive meetings due to inflation concerns, before restarting rate cuts on September 17, 2025, which boosted market risk appetite and led to record highs in stock markets across China, the US, Japan, and South Korea [1]. Group 1: Impact of Federal Reserve Actions - The recent rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are expected to influence other Asian central banks, with predictions of rate reductions between 25 to 75 basis points for most Asian central banks next year, excluding the Bank of Japan [2]. - In a low interest rate and dollar environment, Asian stock markets typically perform well, with Goldman Sachs maintaining an optimistic outlook on markets in China, South Korea, and Japan [3]. Group 2: Focus on Chinese Market - Goldman Sachs has a positive view on the Chinese stock market, emphasizing themes such as leading private enterprises and the ongoing industry consolidation under the "anti-involution" theme, which could benefit these companies [3]. - Strong Chinese companies expanding into emerging markets and focusing on artificial intelligence, particularly robotics, are also highlighted as attractive investment opportunities. Additionally, there is a trend of higher shareholder returns, with companies increasing dividends and cash returns to shareholders [3]. Group 3: ASEAN Market Analysis - The ASEAN markets are lagging behind in the current easing cycle, with low valuations in markets like Indonesia and the Philippines, where expected P/E ratios are around 10 to 11, significantly below their long-term averages [4]. - Despite low liquidity challenges, particularly in the Philippines, the market is considered one of the cheapest in Asia, with a P/E ratio of 10, and potential for double-digit earnings growth. The domestic-driven sectors such as banking, real estate, and consumption are less sensitive to global risks, making the Philippines market attractive for investors willing to take on liquidity risks [4]. - Overall, Goldman Sachs holds an overweight view on the Philippines market, suggesting it offers good value and opportunities for investors who can manage liquidity risks [4].
