Market Focus
1. Core macro and industry focus news: In the past month, the Federal Reserve has continuously released dovish signals, leading to a narrowing of the interest rate differential between China and the U.S., with the RMB maintaining a range of 7.24 against the USD, and liquidity improvement driving a recovery in risk appetite. China's official PMI has been in the contraction zone for two consecutive months, indicating weak economic recovery momentum, which constrains valuations in the Hong Kong stock market and A/H market. Under the intertwining of macro bullish and bearish factors, market structure is differentiated, and capital flows towards mainstream leaders.
2. Capital flow: On October 30, southbound funds net bought HKD 7.9 billion, with net inflows throughout the Shanghai/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, significantly boosting the total transaction volume of Hong Kong stocks for the day. Funds focused on increasing positions in leading stocks like China Telecom (holding 9.879 billion shares, reaching a new high of 71.18%), driving the stock price to rebound over 14% this month, indicating an increase in capital risk appetite and a pursuit of mainline sectors.
