Group 4: Strategic Shifts - Asian investors are increasingly viewing U.S. dollar-denominated debt as a strategic asset due to concerns about tariff impacts on regional economic growth, with U.S. Treasuries, asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and over-the-counter derivatives being popular choices [7].

Core Viewpoint - The China Securities Association has issued a notice to brokerages, acknowledging the positive outcomes of the 2025 industry stress tests while highlighting existing issues such as "form over substance" and insufficient coverage of complex business risks. The notice outlines further guidelines to enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of stress testing in five key areas [1][2]. Regulatory Guidance Upgrade - The regulatory focus is shifting from mere compliance to management empowerment, indicating a higher level of risk management for brokerages. The 2025 stress test results show a significant increase in the importance brokerages place on stress testing, with many establishing regular testing mechanisms and applying results to capital planning [1][2]. Focus on Complex Risks - The notice emphasizes the need for brokerages to optimize stress testing for over-the-counter derivatives and reputation risks, which are becoming critical areas of focus due to the increasing complexity of brokerage business structures.
