Huaan Securities recently released a strategy report stating that the NPC Standing Committee, the U.S. elections, and the November Fed meeting all broadly meet market expectations. Subsequent expectations are expected to gradually converge, and the market is expected to return to calmness, balancing fundamentals and a new round of policies. The bank pointed out that this week, the non-banking financial industry led the gains, partly due to the active market trading combined with the catalyst of brokerage mergers, leading the securities sector. On the other hand, insurance and other specific sectors followed suit. In the short-term outlook, in terms of the securities sector, the market heat is likely to cool down. Although brokerage mergers will continue to occur, seizing securities opportunities will be challenging.
