Ping An Securities (Hong Kong) pointed out that since late September, incremental policies in finance, development and reform, enterprises, finance, and real estate have been continuously deployed, with significant efforts and determination to stabilize growth and boost the macro economy and equity markets.

The significant rise in Hong Kong stocks on Thursday has been further validated. The relevant policies from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Friday are expected to further boost the risk appetite of the Hong Kong stock market.

Morgan Stanley's research report pointed out that the XPeng P7+ is redefining expectations for AI cars with its ambitious pricing, and it is expected to become a strong sales driver and stock price catalyst. Additionally, the recovery of MONA M03 orders, a solid order backlog, and a potentially more meaningful increase in supply starting in November should support sales momentum for the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year.
China Galaxy stated that the local replacement subsidy policy took effect in October, leading to a hot sales market for cars. Leading new energy vehicle companies achieved good results, with several companies' new energy vehicle sales continuing to hit new highs after September. In the peak consumption season of the car market, competitively priced new products have become the core means for car companies to increase market share, helping leading companies continue to outperform the overall market and driving the continuous increase in new energy penetration rates.

The market is focused on the National People's Congress Standing Committee, as domestic property stocks had a strong bullish sentiment yesterday, with several stocks soaring over 20% during the day, but today they all retreated. Guotai Junan Securities pointed out that the real estate market rebounded significantly in October, and the subsequent performance of the real estate sector will depend on the implementation progress of relevant policies and whether the fundamental rebound can be sustained. Although from the perspective of real estate company valuations, the fundamentals cannot support a trend in the real estate sector until housing prices stop falling and the industry truly recovers. However, from the perspective of policy games, the weaker the current fundamentals and the more general the past policy effects, the stronger the expectations for the introduction of significant policies, and the gaming market will continue to exist
