Trend Assessment
The market opened with broad-based gains, with more than 80% of stocks in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets rising. Aerospace equipment and military electronics led the gains, while oil, which had been resilient the previous trading day, and banking, which had bucked the trend to close higher, turned to pullbacks, as capital shifted from defensive positions back to thematic plays. The drivers came from both policy and external factors. The State Council included improving the capital market stabilization mechanism in its deployment, and funds under the swap facility have entered the stock-buying phase. On November 6, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 4.2%, driving a sentiment recovery in lithography, semiconductors, and other hardware sectors. Institutions believe that current A-share valuations and sentiment are approaching the thresholds seen at previous market bottoms, and the bottom formation is relatively well-established. However, financing and trading-oriented funds have not yet returned significantly, and the construction of a rebound still requires further support from policy and incremental capital. Today's October CPI and PPI data have been released, with CPI up 0.7% year-on-year and PPI up 5.7% year-on-year. The sustainability of domestic demand recovery remains a key window for observation, and the index may maintain a volatile repair pattern in the short term.
