Market Review - Since October, global risk events have increased, including the potential U.S. government shutdown, heightened political uncertainty in Japan, and escalating China-U.S. trade tensions, leading to a rise in market risk aversion. Precious metals have strengthened while oil prices have declined, with Hong Kong stocks experiencing a greater drop than A-shares and U.S. stocks due to the strong U.S. dollar and international capital flow impacts. A-shares have shown characteristics of risk-averse trading, evidenced by a decrease in trading volume, with daily turnover falling below 2 trillion yuan, and a style shift where previously strong sectors like the ChiNext and STAR Market have seen significant adjustments while defensive dividend indices have risen [1][2]. Market Outlook - The report emphasizes the importance of cherishing quality assets, predicting a gradual recovery in the market starting in late October. Recent signals from U.S. trade representatives indicate a potential easing of trade tensions, with expectations for some consensus to be reached during upcoming economic discussions and the APEC summit. This contrasts with the previous widespread declines in April, as the current trade situation reflects a shift in capital flows rather than a broad market downturn. Overall, financing and ETF funds continue to see net inflows, suggesting that micro liquidity in the stock market remains relatively abundant. The construction of a "stabilizing mechanism" in the capital market and improvements in investor return systems are highlighted as key features of this market cycle, supporting the notion of a sustained "slow bull" market in A-shares, which are currently viewed as not overly expensive [2][3]. Key Focus Areas 1. The U.S. government has released signals indicating a potential easing of trade tensions, with discussions between Chinese and U.S. trade leaders suggesting a possible return to "TACO" trading dynamics. This could lead to a recovery in capital market risk appetite [2]. 2. Positive domestic and international factors are expected to support the market, with the upcoming 20th Central Committee meeting likely to address various themes such as new productivity, green development, and external openness, potentially catalyzing investment opportunities. Additionally, a likely interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and a stable U.S. dollar index are anticipated to provide further support [3]. 3. The recent market style shift, characterized by a decline in tech-heavy indices and a rise in defensive dividend stocks, reflects a defensive positioning by investors amid reduced trading volumes. The report attributes the tech sector's adjustment to several factors, including increased trading congestion and profit-taking amid rising risk aversion due to trade tensions [4][5]. Industry Configuration - The report suggests that the current valuation fluctuations in the tech sector do not indicate a permanent style shift. Upcoming events, including the Central Committee meeting and the release of quarterly reports, are expected to boost market sentiment and catalyze thematic trading. The report notes that growth sectors like TMT continue to show relative performance advantages, while cyclical sectors lack fundamental support due to ongoing negative PPI trends. The report anticipates that once market structures stabilize, the focus will likely return to growth and technology investments, with a recommendation to pay attention to "mergers and acquisitions" as a theme [5][6].
