Amundi: Japanese Bond Duration Seen as 'Very Attractive'

On June 30, Amundi Investment Institute noted in its mid-year outlook that the valuation of Japanese bond duration is becoming 'very attractive,' but expansionary fiscal policy continues to deter investors. The institution stated that if the Bank of Japan adopts a more hawkish stance, it could improve inflation expectations and trigger a market rebound. Although inflation in Japan has eased significantly thanks to policy measures, Amundi believes this is unlikely to convince investors that the BOJ has escaped its 'behind the curve' situation. The institution expects the BOJ to raise interest rates again in October to curb the weakening yen.

  • Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Eight Departments: Build 50,000 Industrial 5G Private Networks by 2030

    On June 30, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other departments issued a notice on the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Industrial Internet." By 2030, the industrial internet is expected to achieve broader scope, deeper integration, and higher-level development, promoting a new stage of deep integration between the real economy and the digital economy. New infrastructure will be deployed on a large scale, with the construction of 50,000 industrial 5G private networks. The scope of enterprises providing identification and resolution services will continue to expand, aiming to create around five comprehensive platforms with international influence and initially establish a relatively complete industrial data foundational system. Integrated applications will achieve full coverage of 207 industrial categories, fostering a number of tiered and distinctive 5G factories, with the safety classification and grading penetration rate of key industry large-scale industrial enterprises reaching 80%. The technology, standards, and product supply of the industrial internet will be continuously improved, significantly enhancing enterprise strength and cross-industry collaboration levels, with the added value of core industries exceeding 2.5 trillion yuan, becoming an important component of new productive forces.

  • US Secures Over $6 Billion for Ukraine Through Weapon Assistance Mechanism

    On June 30, according to CCTV, on June 29 local time, U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO Julianne Smith stated in an interview that through the 'Ukraine Priority Needs List' mechanism proposed by the U.S. and NATO, the U.S. has received over $6 billion in funding and plans to continue advancing this mechanism. The 'Ukraine Priority Needs List' mechanism, proposed by the U.S. and NATO, allows NATO countries outside the U.S. to provide funding to procure or transfer existing U.S. weapons to Ukraine, ensuring 'rapid' delivery of 'large quantities' of military aid to Ukraine. According to U.S. officials, this mechanism allows NATO member countries wishing to donate weapons to Ukraine to bypass the lengthy U.S. arms sale process and accelerate the procurement process. The Russian government has repeatedly emphasized that the provision of weapons to Ukraine by the West hinders a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and directly involves 'NATO countries in this conflict.' Russia has repeatedly warned that all weapons delivered to Ukraine will become legitimate targets for the Russian military.

  • CCTV Comments on Cambrian's Market Value Surpassing 1 Trillion: A Milestone Requires Clear-headed Resolve

    On June 30, CCTV published an article stating that Cambrian's market value surpassed 1 trillion yuan, marking it as a milestone hard-tech enterprise on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board. As the board approaches its seventh anniversary, this event is not only a significant milestone for the capital market but also a key point for observing the iteration of the A-share sci-tech ecosystem and the breakthrough of the domestic computing power industry. However, the more the market focuses on this event, the more it is necessary to shed the halo of market value and view the current challenges with clarity. Firstly, the pressure of matching valuation with performance cannot be ignored. Currently, the market has high expectations for the AI sector, and the valuation includes both the company's technological advancements and the domestic substitution benefits brought by the external environment. High valuations are a double-edged sword; they can provide ammunition for research and development but also mean that if subsequent product launches or performance releases fall short of expectations, there will be pressure for valuation adjustments. Secondly, domestic AI chips still need to overcome challenges to move from 'usable' to 'user-friendly.' Objectively, domestic chips have reached usable levels in inference scenarios and computing power fields, but there remains a gap in high-end large model training computing power hardware and developer ecosystem construction compared to international top levels. Thirdly, there is a need to be wary of the industry’s restlessness induced by the heat of market value. Under the demonstration effect of a trillion yuan market value, the sector may face issues such as overheating in financing and intensified homogeneous competition. Some companies may also be distracted by stock price fluctuations, focusing on short-term market value management at the expense of long-term technological research and development, which poses a hidden concern for the long-term development of the hard-tech industry.

  • Tech Index Soars 1.8%, Technology and Semiconductor Sectors Surge, Traditional Sectors Decline

    On June 30, Hong Kong stocks displayed a significant structural divergence. The Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index both fell by 0.63% and 0.62%, respectively, while the Hang Seng Tech Index surged by 1.8%. The technology and semiconductor sectors became the core driving forces behind the Hang Seng Tech Index's strong performance, while traditional cyclical sectors faced noticeable pressure, becoming the main contributors to the declines in the Hang Seng Index and the China Enterprises Index. Specifically, major technology stocks continued their rebound from yesterday, with Baidu rising by 5%, Tencent by 2.28%, Meituan by 1.26%, and JD.com also showing gains. The semiconductor sector, PCB concept stocks, and optical communication concepts saw renewed explosions, with ASMPT rising by 10%, SMIC by 5.4%, and Changfei Optical Fiber Cable by 6.68%, while Hua Hong Semiconductor also strengthened and reached a historical high. AI application concepts were equally strong, with Zhizhu rising over 7%, Yidu Tech up by 6.4%, and Lenovo Group increasing by over 8%. On the other hand, gold stocks fell sharply as spot gold and silver continued to decline, with several stocks like Everest Gold hitting new lows for the year. Energy sectors such as oil and coal stocks performed poorly throughout the day, while airline stocks, domestic banks, and property stocks all experienced declines. (Gelonghui)

  • Dan Bin: The AI Wave is Unlikely to End in Three to Four Years, Industry Cycle May Follow a Decade Similar to the Internet Era

    On June 30, Dan Bin, Chairman of Dongfang Harbor, stated at the Gelonghui Mid-Year Strategy Summit: My basic judgment is that the era of artificial intelligence will have a long industrial cycle, similar to that of the internet era. ChatGPT was announced at the end of 2022, and if we refer to the historical rhythm of the internet 'ten years after announcement,' that point (around 2033) is likely to be a reference window for risk assessment. Before that, the industrial development of AI is unlikely to conclude in three to four years. However, short-term market fluctuations and localized bubbles do exist, and investors must rationally assess their situations.
