Stock News09-29 22:32

Evening major news roundup. 1. Major favorable policy! The central bank launched a "four-pronged" move. What signals does it send? Importance: ★★★★★ On September 29, favorable policies arrived in batches. The central bank launched a "four-pronged" move: cutting the interest rate on pledged supplementary lending (PSL) by 0.25 percentage points; expanding the supported areas for pledged supplementary lending; increasing the relending quota for technological innovation and technological upgrading by 200 billion yuan; and increasing the relending quota for agriculture and small and micro businesses by 500 billion yuan. In response, Dong Ximiao, chief economist at Zhaolian, said that the above adjustments generally convey a signal that monetary policy remains moderately loose, focuses on structural precision, and emphasizes efficiency gains from existing resources. Specifically: first, the policy does not take the old path of "flooding the system with stimulus," but instead uses structural tools such as pledged supplementary lending and relending to implement targeted rate cuts, expand coverage, and increase volumes, precisely channeling financial resources into key areas and weak links such as the "six networks," technological innovation, equipment renewal, agriculture, rural areas and farmers, small and micro businesses, and the private economy; second, the policy balances stable growth and promoting transformation, stabilizing the short-term economy by expanding effective investment and boosting domestic demand, while also fostering medium- and long-term growth momentum by supporting technological innovation and industrial upgrading; third, the policy emphasizes coordination and efficiency, reducing banks' liability costs and capital occupation to enhance financial institutions' willingness to lend and preserve room for subsequent aggregate policies; fourth, it separately lists and increases the relending quota for private enterprises, clearly releasing a signal of support for private economic development, which helps stabilize expectations and boost confidence.

6. Latest private fund survey: More than 50% hold heavy positions through the holiday, and A-shares may see a moderate recovery after the holiday. Importance: ★★★ With the National Day long holiday approaching, A-shares are about to enter a long holiday market closure. Against the backdrop of continued operation in external markets and uncertainty in overseas asset prices and geopolitical factors, whether to hold stocks or cash through the holiday has once again become the focus of institutional investors. According to the latest survey of private fund institutions, despite obvious market adjustments before the holiday, more than half of private funds still chose to hold stocks through the holiday with relatively high positions.

Early opportunities to watch. The editor sorted out investment opportunities that the market is paying attention to and found that culture and media and other sectors are drawing attention. 1. Thirteen films gathered for the National Day holiday season, with total presale box office for new films nearing 35 million yuan. As the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival film season concludes, the National Day holiday season (October 1 to October 7) is about to take over. According to Maoyan Professional Edition data, 13 films have been scheduled for the National Day holiday season, covering genres such as comedy, science fiction, crime, suspense, romance, and animation, continuing the trend of diversified supply. As of the reporter's deadline, the total box office of new films for the National Day holiday season, including presales and previews, was nearly 35 million yuan. Zheshang Securities pointed out in a deep report on media and the internet released in mid-September that AI comic dramas have achieved commercial mass production, while AI long dramas and AI films will open up entirely new incremental space. Regulators took the lead in opening the first case of "production, review, and broadcast in parallel," and hit products are expected to appear later. Considering the diversification of long-video platforms and satellite TV channels, the profit elasticity of hit products is considerable. Therefore, film and television platforms and production companies both have opportunities for value revaluation, and attention should not be limited only to the comic drama track. In addition, the following sectors are also worth watching: 2. Agricultural planting | Monitoring by the China Meteorological Administration: A super strong El Nino event will form around November. 3. Infrastructure | China will advance the construction of a large hydropower base in southwest China.
