1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In November, although the manufacturing economic activity did not exceed expectations, there were still positive factors. The emerging industries' prosperity rebounded first, the inventory problem caused by supply - demand imbalance was continuously digested, and the price upward trend remained unchanged with a continuous repair expectation for next year. The impact of new policy - based financial instruments on the industry and market was still in the early stages, and the actual work volume needed further verification next year [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Demand Drags Production, and De - stocking Exceeds Re - stocking - The drag of previous supply - demand imbalance on production emerged. The production index was weak in the past two months, and the procurement volume was below the critical value for two consecutive months. The "new order index - production index" reached a peak in September [13]. - Manufacturing enterprises have been actively de - stocking for nearly half a year. The inventory growth rate was already at a historically low level, and the downward space was limited. Compared with previous inventory cycles, this cycle had two characteristics: the peak was much lower and the inventory state switched frequently at a low level. The active re - stocking period was short, and the active de - stocking period was long. This was favorable for the bond market [16]. 3.2 Differentiation between Traditional Manufacturing and Emerging Industries - Traditional manufacturing has been in a downturn since April, with PMI below the boom - bust line for 8 consecutive months. However, emerging industries showed improvement since September. The EPMI index of emerging industries was above the boom - bust line for 3 consecutive months, and the BCI index of high - quality private enterprises also rose above the line, with sub - items such as corporate financing environment and investment forward - looking index improving significantly [19]. - The improvement in the prosperity of emerging industries boosted the employment market. The BCI corporate recruitment forward - looking index improved, and the "Internet unemployment benefit search index" decreased. The 500 billion yuan new policy - based financial instruments, fully invested by the end of October, supported over 2,300 projects with a total investment of about 7 trillion yuan, showing a strong pulling effect on emerging industries [19][25]. 3.3 Rare Contraction in Service Industry Prosperity - This month, the non - manufacturing PMI dropped 0.6 points to 49.5, falling below the critical value for the first time excluding public health events. The construction industry was at the bottom, and the service industry was the main drag. The service industry PMI dropped 0.7 points to 49.5, which was a rare contraction. This was related to seasonal factors and the real - estate sales slump [5][26]. - Some industries in the service industry, such as railway transportation, telecommunications, and finance, were in a high - prosperity range, while real - estate and residential services were below the critical point [28][29].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rise of the Chinese yuan (RMB) as a challenge to the dominance of the US dollar, highlighting three key strategies: the introduction of digital yuan, the promotion of oil transactions in yuan, and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) [2][21]. Group 1: Digital Yuan - The digital yuan (e-CNY) is positioned as a new channel for global value transmission, breaking the monopoly of SWIFT and CHIPS in cross-border payments [4][6]. - The digital yuan's pilot program has expanded to 26 cities, with plans to cover 25% of M0 by 2030, integrating into daily payments and cross-border settlements [6][8]. - It serves as a tool for precise execution of macroeconomic policies, enabling direct subsidies to small enterprises and automating carbon credit transactions [6][8]. Group 2: Oil Transactions in Yuan - The RMB aims to disrupt the dollar's dominance in global oil trade, which has historically been dollar-denominated, by establishing the yuan as a currency for oil transactions [10][12]. - Major oil-producing countries, including Russia and Iran, are increasingly accepting yuan for oil transactions, indicating a shift towards de-dollarization [12][14]. - China is working to establish an Asian energy pricing center in yuan, which could lead to a multi-polar energy pricing system [12][14]. Group 3: Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) - RWA tokenization aims to create a stable asset pool linked to the real economy, enhancing the attractiveness of RMB-denominated assets [16][18]. - This process involves converting illiquid assets into tradable digital tokens, facilitating investment in Chinese real assets and providing stable cash flow returns [18][20]. - The shift from using RMB for trade settlements to asset investments is expected to enhance the RMB's role as a store of value [18][21]. Group 4: Overall Impact on Global Financial System - The combination of digital yuan, oil transactions in yuan, and RWA tokenization is creating a parallel value network to the dollar system, promoting a more equitable global financial order [21][23]. - The RMB's rise is not aimed at outright replacing the dollar but rather at restructuring the global monetary system towards a more inclusive framework [23][25]. - The gradual marginalization of the dollar's influence is anticipated as the RMB gains traction in global trade and investment [25].
