Key Incremental News
1. A-shares plunge accelerates: all three major indices drop 2%+, Beike 50 falls 3.5%+ (10:18–10:42 CST)
Compared to the -0.6% open last hour, selling intensified dramatically. STAR 50 down 2.5%, ChiNext down 1.9%; precious metals, industrial metals, semiconductors, and brokerages led declines, with Jinlong Stock nearing limit-down. Impact: Risk appetite deteriorated sharply from weekend effects to systemic sell-off. The brokerage plunge is concerning—brokerages amplify A-share sentiment, and their weakness signals leveraged capital contraction. Source: Jin10 flash 10:18–10:42.
2. Lithium carbonate futures crash 8–9%, breaks below 130k CNY/ton, fresh Feb low (10:31–10:38 CST)
Main contract plunged from 139,350 to 129,120 CNY/ton, down 9%, then rebounded slightly to -7.9%. Downstream September production schedules are still rising, but futures market sentiment collapsed. Impact: Lithium battery supply chain faces repricing pressure; upstream resource stocks (Tianqi, Ganfeng) under stress. But deep sell-off may mean oversupply expectations are priced in, creating a bounce window. Source: Jin10 flash 10:31–10:38.
3. Trump RNC closing remarks: claims “control of Hormuz”, “Venezuela oil” (10:39 CST · Jin10 ID:229815/229821)
At the RNC closing, Trump stated “we control the Strait of Hormuz, I call it the Trump Strait” and “we took over Venezuela’s oil—65 billion barrels.” Meanwhile, data shows Hormuz commercial vessel transits Thursday remained in single digits, below the 10-day average of ~15. Impact: Rhetoric escalated further, but actual passage remains near standstill. Market has partially desensitized to such statements. Source: Jin10 flash 10:37, 10:46.
4. Vance delivers most important political speech, paving way for 2028 (10:15 CST · Jin10 ID:229821)
VP Vance gave his career-defining RNC closing address, optimistic tone with attacks on Democrats. Impact: US domestic political polarization intensifies; November midterm election uncertainty weighs on policy continuity—tariffs, immigration, energy policy direction clearer post-election. Source: Jin10 flash 10:15.
5. Brattensteller ally, Wasc friend speak: US bond yields “even a bit low” (10:46 CST · Jin10 ID:229843)
As 30Y US yield hits 2007 high, legendary investor Duane Henk calls current bond yields “even a bit low,” criticizing those who think monetary policy still needs easing. Impact: Institutional大佬 bearish on bonds (bullish on yields) reinforces the rate-up trend, continuously pressuring growth stock valuations. Source: Jin10 ID:229843.
Market Assessment
A-shares – Plunge deepens, short-term risk unexhausted. From -0.6% open to -2%+ before noon, the decline tripled. Judgment: This is not just weekend effect—it’s a triple resonance of CPI eve + global rate sync + lithium carbonate crash triggering supply chain panic. The brokerage sector plunge is a danger signal. Strategy: No early抄底; wait for CPI direction. Watch if market reclaims 3,950; failure tests 3,900 support.
Gold – Rebound lacks momentum under real rate pressure. SHFE gold down 2% at 935.84 CNY/g, spot gold ~4,320. Core logic: 10Y US yield near 5% pushes real rates higher, increasing gold’s opportunity cost. Tasman Securities warns CTA and large funds may flip to sellers (Jin10 ID:229836). 4,300 is key technical level—CPI above expectation → “higher rates longer” logic continues to weigh; CPI below → 4,300 holds and bounce opens. Range-bound bearish bias, waiting for CPI.
Crude Oil – Heavy selling above 100, but geopolitical risk persists. Oil retreated from 100.812 to ~99; Saudi Aug output plunged 1.9M bpd to 36-year low (Jin10 ID:229810), Hormuz passage near standstill. Judgment: Resistance above 100 comes from demand destruction expectations, not supply recovery. Houthi controls Red Sea key positions, Iranian Revolutionary Guard possibly involved (Jin10 ID:229815), supply disruption risk remains. But A-shares crash weighs on global risk appetite, short-term stalemate. Strategy: Trade 95–100 range; breakout direction depends on post-CPI Fed tone.
Global Bonds – Rising yields are the top macro risk. US 10Y near 5%, UK 3Y above 5%, Japan 10Y near 3%. This is global pricing re-calibrating—oil shock, fiscal deficits, AI infrastructure boom jointly pushing up inflation expectations, compressing all three major central banks’ policy space. Systematic pressure on equity valuations; long-duration assets (tech growth) first in line.
