Summary According to the Catalog 11 - month Review Stock Market - A - shares declined, with the Shanghai Composite Index falling 1.67% and the Science and Technology Innovation 50 falling 6.24%. The Dow Jones Index rose 0.32%, and the Nasdaq Index fell 1.51%. Affected by concerns about the valuation of the US stock AI sector and the volatility of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, A - shares and Hong Kong stocks declined, and US stocks fluctuated [8][13]. Bond Market - US bond yields declined, with the 1 - year US bond yield dropping to 3.61% and the 10 - year US bond yield dropping to 4.02%. Domestic bond yields rose, with the 1 - year Treasury yield rising to 1.40% and the 10 - year Treasury yield rising to 1.84%, and the term spread widened. The decline in US bond yields was due to the volatility of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, while the rise in domestic bond yields was because the central bank's Treasury purchase volume was lower than expected [8][17]. Foreign Exchange Market - The US dollar index declined to 99.44, and the RMB appreciated. The on - shore exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB rose to 7.08, and the off - shore exchange rate rose to 7.07. The decline in the US dollar index was due to the continuous volatility of the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations, and the RMB appreciation was supported by the weakening of the US dollar and the strong domestic economic fundamentals [20]. Commodity Market - Crude oil prices fell to $63.2 per barrel. Domestic commodity prices rose slightly after fluctuations, and overseas commodity prices fell overall after rising first and then falling. Among domestic commodities, precious metals and grains led the gains, while coal, coking, steel, minerals, agricultural and sideline products, non - metallic building materials, non - ferrous metals, energy, and chemicals declined [25]. Fund Market - The performance of the fund market in November was poor. The issuance scale increased to 94.6 billion yuan, a 31% increase from the previous month. Structurally, the issuance scale of equity funds was 45.3 billion yuan, a 30% increase from the previous month, accounting for 48% of the total issuance. ETF funds had a net inflow of 100.9 billion yuan (excluding money funds), and LOF funds had a net outflow of 320 million yuan. Among them, equity - type ETF products had a net inflow of 32.3 billion yuan, and equity - type LOF products had a net outflow of 440 million yuan. Active equity funds increased their positions in dividend, value - potential, and prosperous styles and reduced their positions in quality styles [30][36][37]. 12 - month Outlook Overseas Environment - The market's expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut within the year fluctuated significantly, and the market expected the Fed to cut interest rates in December. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in December increased to over 80%. US bond yields first rose and then fell, with an overall decline [43]. Domestic Environment - The private - sector financing growth rate continued to decline, and the inflation factor rebounded from a low level. It is recommended to maintain an under - allocation of equity assets as the economic recovery signal still needs to be observed, and the momentum factor remains bearish [47]. Trading Perspective - The stock - market odds were close to the three - year average, and the A - share market sentiment was rising from a low level but had not yet returned to the optimistic range [48][52]. Market Style - The growth - value style rotation model shows that the market factor, US bond yield, and style momentum are all favorable for growth, and the growth style will continue to dominate. The small - large - cap style rotation model shows that the current credit environment, monetary environment, and long - and short - term style momentum all recommend the small - cap style [59][64]. Hong Kong Stock Market - The number of macro - indicators bullish on Hong Kong stocks decreased compared with last month. The model recommends an under - allocation of Hong Kong stocks as the private - sector financing growth rate, Hong Kong dollar M2 growth rate, and Chinese sovereign CDS spread are bearish, although the US dollar index and south - bound funds are bullish [68]. Domestic Bond Market - Short - term liquidity remained in a tight balance, and long - term interest rates rose. It is recommended to focus on short - duration bond funds as short - term bonds have better opportunities than long - term bonds [71]. Fund Allocation Strategy - It is recommended to maintain an under - allocation of equity assets and focus on small - cap and growth styles. For fixed - income + funds, focus on relatively stable varieties, and for bond funds, focus on short - duration varieties. Recommended funds include Dongwu Mobile Internet (001323.OF, medium - high risk), CITIC Prudential Multi - Strategy (165531.OF, medium - high risk), Harvest New Consumption (001044.OF, medium - high risk), BOC Steady Income (380009.OF, medium risk), and Penghua Stable Short - Term Bond (007515.OF) [2][74].
