Key Incremental News

1. A-shares mid-session confirms sharp sell-off, major indices down 1.8%–3.5% (11:38 CST)

SHCOMP down 1.82%, SZCOMP down 2.34%, ChiNext down 2.04%, BSE 50 down 3.52%, STAR 50 down 2.99% at mid-session. Index futures fell across the board: CSI 300 -1.73%, CSI 1000 -3.98%. Precious metals, industrial metals, lithium carbonate sectors led declines (Shanghai silver -6%, lithium carbonate -7%). Total ETF turnover 289.1B CNY, +32.8B CNY vs. same time yesterday, indicative of panic-driven volume. Impact: Declines widened nearly three times from open, confirming escalation from weekend effects to systemic selling. Brokerage sector weakness signals potential leverage fund negative feedback. Afternoon watch: whether index reclaims 3,950; failure makes the opening gap short-term resistance. Source: Jin10 flash 11:23–11:38.

2. Japan 10Y Government Bond Yield Touches 3.000%, New Multi-Week High (11:45 CST)

Japan 10Y yield extended gains, briefly touching 3.000%. Impact: Major global long-end rates rising synchronously—US 10Y approaching 5%, Japan 10Y near 3%—reflecting market repricing of fiscal deficits and inflation. Yen carry trade unwinding may accelerate, boosting yen bulls but stressing emerging market liquidity. Source: Jin10 flash 11:45.

3. BOJ Sources: Expected 25bps Hike Next Week, May Signal Faster Tightening (11:01 CST · Jin10 ID:229844)

Sources indicate the BOJ will most likely hike 25bps, potentially signaling readiness to accelerate tightening if price pressures intensify. TD Securities says Japan’s economic growth exceeds potential, "cannot afford to fall behind." Impact: This is the highest-certainty Asian macro event this week. Post-hike, forward guidance is key—if Oct/Dec hikes are not signaled, yen may retreat (TD Securities warning). Core variable for investors holding yen-hedged positions. Source: Jin10 ID:229844, flash 11:01.

4. Hormuz Strait Commodity Ship Passage Remains in Single Digits (11:23 CST)

Thursday saw only 7 passing vessels, down from 11 the prior day and below the 10-day average of 15; 2 outbound, 5 inbound. Impact: No recovery signs in strait passage,叠加 with Saudi Aug production plunge of 1.9M bpd (Jin10 ID:229810). Supply disruption risk persists, but markets have partially de-sensitized—WTI remains below $100, suggesting geopolitical risk premium is already priced in. Source: Jin10 flash 11:23, 10:46.

5. Barclays Expects ECB to Hike Another 25bps in December (11:10 CST)

Barclays forecasts the ECB will raise rates another 25bps in December 2026. The ECB just completed its second hike of the year (+25bps to 2.5%) on Thursday, warning inflation will remain above target for longer. Impact: ECB in "anti-inflation mode," forming a global central bank synchronous tightening pattern with the Fed’s upcoming decision. Euro strength pressure increases, headwind for export-oriented Eurozone firms. Source: Jin10 flash 11:10.

Market Assessment

A-shares—Plunge Confirmed, Afternoon Trading Window. Mid-session decline widened from -0.6% at open to -1.82%; CSI 1000 nearly -4%, STAR 50 nearly -3%, showing small/mid-caps underperforming broad market significantly. Assessment: This is not simple weekend effects or weighting-stock support failure, but a convergence of pre-CPI nervousness, rising global rates, and lithium carbonate industry panic. Panic-driven volume (+32.8B) signals stop-losses firing, which also means short-term selling pressure is being exhausted. Two afternoon signals to watch: (1) whether CSI 300 holds below its intraday low for 30 minutes; (2) whether the brokerage sector stabilizes—brokerage firm stabilization is a necessary but not sufficient condition for short-term bottoms. Do not bottom-fish before CPI; reduce position size.

Gold—$4,300 Pivot Battle. Spot gold tested 4,300.89 intraday low, down 0.28% from open, another 0.45% from the previous period. Assessment: $4,300 is the bull/bear dividing line. Upside resistance comes from real rate pressure via US 10Y approaching 5%; downside support depends on CPI—if CPI misses below consensus, gold can rebound toward $4,340; if CPI beats, the rate logic dominates and gold may break $4,300 toward $4,250. TD Securities warns CTA and large funds may turn sellers (Jin10 ID:229836), increasing breakdown risk. Currently neutral-bearish, waiting for CPI direction.

Crude Oil—Bull/Bear Standoff, Awaiting Direction. WTI crude oscillating in $99–100 range; domestic SC crude surged nearly 9% at mid-session. Assessment: This divergence is noteworthy—international oil pressured by A-share selloff and risk-off sentiment, while domestic SC crude reflects real-world Middle East supply disruption pricing. Saudi Aug production plunge, Hormuz passage in single digits, US diesel at record highs (Jin10 ID:229824) form the bull base; but on the demand side, global growth slowdown and A-share collapse cap upside. Short-term range-bound $95–100; direction depends on post-CPI Fed signal and Middle East evolution.

Global Rates—Uptrend Established, Inertia Likely Continues Short-Term. Japan 10Y touching 3%, US 10Y near 5%, UK 3Y above 5%. This is the core driver of this round of pricing repricing, not short-term noise. Oil冲击, fiscal deficits, AI infrastructure frenzy jointly pushing up inflation expectations; three major central banks (Fed, ECB, BOJ) simultaneously facing tightening pressure. Systematic压制 on equity valuations, high-duration tech stocks first in line. Confirmation signal: if Japan 10Y holds above 3% or US 10Y breaks 5%, global risk-off will further escalate.

Next Few Hours

Today is Friday; A-shares/HK stocks trade until 15:00/16:00; US markets in inter-session. CPI is the week’s highest-priority event, directly determining the Fed’s September rate decision and global weekend pricing.
