[PV ETF Funds Rise: PV Industry Chain May Usher in a New Round of Favorable Conditions] As of June 11, 2025, the CSI Photovoltaic Industry Index (931151) surged by 1.28%, with individual stocks of some PV enterprises also following suit. The PV ETF Fund (159863) rose by 0.93%, with the latest quote at 0.43 yuan. By implementing strategies such as industry self-regulation through production restrictions and accelerating the elimination of outdated capacity, the PV industry chain is gradually optimizing its supply-demand pattern. The PV industry, particularly top-tier enterprises, has also realized that "short-term profit-chasing and capacity hoarding are not viable strategies," and accelerating capacity exits and implementing "anti-cut-throat competition" have gradually become industry consensus. It is expected that the key window period for PV supply-side reform will be from the second half of this year to the first quarter of next year. Despite the overall valuation of the PV sector remaining at historically low levels, it will possess higher allocation space and investment value in the future, and the PV industry chain is expected to usher in a new round of favorable conditions.

The real estate market in April saw a slight pullback in popularity. According to the latest data, both new and existing home prices showed signs of adjustment, with market confidence and transaction momentum needing further improvement. Based on the housing price data for 70 cities nationwide released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on May 19, in April 2025, the number of cities where new home prices rose MoM was 22, a decrease of 2 cities from the previous month; 45 cities experienced a decline, an increase of 4 cities from the previous month. For existing home prices, 5 cities saw a MoM increase, a decrease of 5 cities from the previous month; 64 cities experienced a decline, an increase of 8 cities from the previous month. Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the NBS, stated that under the influence of various policies aimed at halting the decline and stabilizing the real estate market, China's real estate market has continued to move towards halting the decline and stabilizing this year. Transactions in some first- and second-tier cities have recovered to some extent, and housing prices have remained generally stable. "However, it should also be noted that the overall real estate market is still in the process of adjustment and transformation. Rigid and improvement-oriented demand remains to be released, and the pressure to destock real estate in some regions is still relatively high. Continuous efforts are still needed to promote the halting of the decline and stabilization of the real estate market." Data shows that the MoM growth rate of the new commercial residential housing price index for 70 cities nationwide in April was -0.1%. Li Yujia, chief researcher at the Guangdong Housing Policy Research Center, pointed out that the weak performance of the new home price index in that month was mainly due to the fact that April entered the off-season after the "little spring" sales peak. Specifically, in April, the MoM growth rate of new commercial residential housing sales prices in first-tier cities turned flat from a 0.1% increase in the previous month; in second-tier cities, it remained flat MoM; in third-tier cities, it decreased by 0.2% MoM, the same rate of decline as the previous month. The top five cities in terms of housing price index growth were Dalian, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou, and Taiyuan. "Currently, there are mainly two types of cities with relatively resilient markets. One type consists of cities with a very high urban hierarchy, such as Shanghai and Hangzhou; the other type includes cities like Tianjin and Taiyuan, where supply and demand indicators are relatively stable," said Yan Yuejin, deputy director of the E-House China Research and Development Institute. It is worth noting that new home prices in first-tier cities ended a four-month consecutive upward trend. Among them, Shanghai led the gains in first-tier cities, with a MoM increase of 0.5%, followed by Beijing with a 0.1% MoM increase, while Guangzhou and Shenzhen saw decreases of 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively. "The market conditions among first-tier cities also diverged in April. New home prices in Beijing and Shanghai rose, indicating that the real estate markets in these two cities still have certain supporting factors. In particular, the overall popularity of both new and existing homes in Shanghai still showed a slight increase. Driven by high-end improvement projects, the new home market in Shanghai in April continued to see a sustained rise in popularity. This can be attributed to its unique urban status and market demand structure, as well as its efforts to increase the supply of new homes in core areas," said Zhang Bo, President of the 58 Anjuke Research Institute. The adjustment in the second-hand housing market has been more pronounced. In April, the second-hand housing price index for 70 cities fell by 0.4% QoQ, a significant increase from the -0.2% decline in the previous month. Among them, the selling prices of second-hand homes in first-tier cities shifted from growth to decline, falling by 0.2% QoQ, compared to a 0.2% increase in the previous month. In second- and third-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand homes both fell by 0.4% QoQ, with the decline expanding by 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively, compared to the previous month. "The weakening market transactions are partly related to seasonal factors. Historically, housing prices tend to weaken in Q2. Moreover, the increased supply of high-quality homes in the new housing market has had a certain impact on the second-hand housing market," said Li Yujia. As the supply-side reform in the new housing market takes effect, the transaction cycle between new and second-hand homes is accelerating, with replacement demand driving faster transactions, which has a positive effect on halting the decline in second-hand housing prices. At the policy level, the central and local governments have taken proactive actions since April, introducing multiple measures to stabilize the real estate market. The April 25 meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee emphasized the need to intensify urban renewal efforts, advance the renovation of urban villages and dilapidated houses in an orderly manner, accelerate the construction of a new model for real estate development, increase the supply of high-grade housing, optimize policies for acquiring existing commercial housing, and continuously consolidate the stable trend of the real estate market. Cao Jingjing, General Manager of the Index Research Department at China Index Academy, believes that the Political Bureau's statement on the real estate market at the end of April, shifting from "halting the decline and stabilizing the market" since September 26 last year to "continuously consolidating stability" this time, not only reflects the central government's objective assessment of the recovery in real estate sales since Q4 last year but also demonstrates a full understanding of the ongoing pressures in the market. The market still requires sustained policy efforts to further consolidate the stable trend. It is expected that various policies will continue to be implemented at an accelerated pace, focusing on areas such as urban village renovation, high-grade housing supply, and the acquisition of existing housing.

The State Council Information Office held a press conference at 10 a.m. today, where Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Director of the NBS's Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Economy, introduced the operation of China's national economy in April 2025 and answered questions from journalists. Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the NBS: The fundamental aspects of China's improving economy remain unchanged, with many favorable conditions for sustained economic rebound. Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the NBS, stated that in the next phase, the international environment will remain complex and severe, with many unpredictable factors of instability and uncertainty. Domestically, cyclical and structural imbalances are intertwined. However, the fundamental aspects of China's improving economy remain unchanged, and there are many favorable conditions for sustained economic rebound. From January to April, China's investment in equipment procurement increased by 18.2% YoY. Fu Linghui said that driven by the large-scale equipment renewal policy, from January to April, China's investment in equipment procurement increased by 18.2% YoY, contributing 64.5% to the overall investment growth. Implement special initiatives to boost consumption and better unleash its potential. Fu Linghui stated that, overall, the effects of policies have continued to manifest since the beginning of the year, with market sales maintaining a rebound trend. However, the endogenous driving force of consumption still needs to be further strengthened. In the next phase, it is necessary to implement special initiatives to boost consumption, continue to enhance residents' consumption capacity, increase the supply of high-quality goods and services, improve the consumption environment, better unleash consumption potential, and promote healthy economic development and sustained improvement of people's livelihoods. In the next phase, a significant reduction in tariffs between China and the US will be beneficial for trade growth between the two countries. Fu Linghui said that in the next phase, a significant reduction in tariffs between China and the US will be beneficial for trade growth between the two countries and also for the global economic recovery. In April, the driving role of "AI+" strengthened, and the digital industry flourished. At the press conference, Fu Linghui stated that support for innovation has continued to increase, with high-tech industries growing rapidly. In April, the added value of high-tech manufacturing above designated size increased by 10% YoY. Among them, the added value of aerospace-related equipment manufacturing and integrated circuit manufacturing increased by 21.4% and 21.3%, respectively. The driving role of "AI+" strengthened, and the digital industry flourished. In April, the added value of digital product manufacturing above designated size increased by 10%. The green and low-carbon transformation continued to deepen, with the new energy industry developing rapidly. In April, the production of new energy products such as NEVs and charging piles increased by 38.9% and 43.1%, respectively. With the coordinated implementation of various macro policies, there are many favorable conditions for sustained economic rebound in China. Fu Linghui stated that since the beginning of the year, the international environment has evolved complexly, with the US imposing a series of unilateral hefty tariffs on China, severely impacting Sino-US economic and trade relations. In response, China has taken resolute and forceful countermeasures. From May 10 to 11, China and the United States held high-level economic and trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland, and agreed through consultation to significantly reduce tariffs. Against this backdrop, there is widespread concern about the trajectory and prospects of China's economy. Looking ahead, the international environment remains complex and severe, with many unstable, uncertain, and unpredictable factors. Domestically, cyclical and structural imbalances are intertwined. However, the fundamental aspects of China's economy, which have been favorable in the long term, remain unchanged. Various macro policies are working in synergy, with all sectors joining forces to tackle challenges and actively adapt to changes. The momentum for innovation continues to grow, providing many favorable conditions for the sustained rebound of the economy. As the effects of policies continue to manifest and the momentum of consumption strengthens, consumption is expected to continue boosting economic growth. Fu Linghui stated that regions and departments across the country have diligently implemented the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, vigorously carrying out special initiatives to stimulate consumption, intensifying and expanding the implementation of the "program of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins," innovating diversified consumption scenarios, and actively expanding service consumption, with the effects continuously emerging. In April, the total retail sales of consumer goods related to trade-ins, including household appliances and audio-visual equipment, cultural and office supplies, furniture, communication equipment, and building and decoration materials, collectively boosted the growth of total retail sales of consumer goods by 1.4 percentage points. From January to April, service retail sales increased by 5.1%, accelerating for two consecutive months. During the Labour Day holiday, the number of domestic tourists increased by 6.4% YoY. As the effects of policies continue to manifest and the momentum of consumption strengthens, consumption is expected to continue boosting economic growth. China's investment potential remains enormous, with many favorable factors supporting investment growth. Fu Linghui noted that since the beginning of this year, the economy has generally operated smoothly, with the effects of the "implementation of major national strategies and the development of security capabilities in key areas" and the "program of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins" continuously emerging. Industrial upgrading and development are on an upward trajectory, supporting the expansion of effective investment. Looking ahead, China's investment potential remains enormous, with many favorable factors supporting investment growth. Firstly, there is vast room for industrial upgrading. The new-generation information technology industry is booming, with emerging industries represented by high-end equipment and artificial intelligence showing good development momentum, and investment in innovation is continuously increasing. Secondly, major regional strategies are leading the way. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, a series of major regional strategies have been accelerated in implementation, with urban-rural and regional coordinated development and new-type urbanization holding enormous investment potential. Thirdly, there is still significant investment demand in the field of social and people's livelihood. Although investment in the people's livelihood sector has been continuously increasing, there is still a gap compared to the needs of the people. Currently, China attaches great importance to ensuring and improving people's livelihood, continuously increasing investment in the social and people's livelihood sector, which is also conducive to the sustained growth of investment. In the next phase, we should continue to leverage the role of macro policies to promote a reasonable rebound in prices. Fu Linghui stated that currently, prices are generally at a low level, which exerts pressure on enterprises' production and operation, and affects residents' employment and income growth. Therefore, it is crucial to promote a reasonable rebound in prices. In the next phase, we should continue to leverage the role of macro policies to further expand investment demand. We should advance supply-side reforms, improve economic circulation, continuously regulate market order, and promote a reasonable rebound in prices. Since the beginning of this year, China's real estate market has continued to move towards halting the decline and stabilizing, with transactions recovering in some first- and second-tier cities. Fu Linghui stated that under the influence of various policies aimed at halting the decline and stabilizing the real estate market, since the beginning of this year, China's real estate market has continued to move towards halting the decline and stabilizing, with transactions recovering in some first- and second-tier cities, and housing prices generally remaining stable. However, it should also be noted that the overall real estate market is still in the process of adjustment and transformation, with rigid and improvement-oriented demand yet to be fully released. In some regions, the pressure to sell off real estate inventory remains relatively high, and continued efforts are needed to promote the halting of the decline and stabilization of the real estate market.

At today's morning meeting of securities firms, Guotai Haitong Securities proposed prioritizing the allocation of top-tier securities firms with significant comprehensive advantages and stronger cross-border asset allocation capabilities. GF Securities believes that the central tendency of coal prices may decline in 2025, with leading companies expected to maintain overall stable profitability. Huatai Securities expressed optimism about investment opportunities in the commercial real estate sector in 2025. Guotai Haitong Securities: Prioritize the allocation of top-tier securities firms with significant comprehensive advantages and stronger cross-border asset allocation capabilities Guotai Haitong Securities stated that fixed-income proprietary trading, as a pillar business in the securities industry, urgently needs transformation in the new era. Changes in a single business should be viewed as one aspect of the industry's supply-side reform. During the transformation and exploration period, it is recommended to seek certainty amid uncertainty and prioritize the allocation of top-tier securities firms with significant comprehensive advantages and stronger cross-border asset allocation capabilities. GF Securities: The central tendency of coal prices may decline in 2025, with leading companies expected to maintain overall stable profitability GF Securities indicated that demand in the coal industry remained in the off-season in April, with coal prices generally weak. However, expectations for increased intensity of counter-cyclical regulatory policies to stabilize growth have begun to strengthen. Additionally, with the rebound in industrial demand, slower growth in production, and an expected decline in imported coal, coal prices are anticipated to gradually rebound after inventory pullbacks. Regarding companies, the central tendency of coal prices may decline in 2025. Considering the relative stability of long-term agreement prices for leading companies and generally effective cost control, they are expected to maintain overall stable profitability. Huatai Securities: Optimistic about investment opportunities in the commercial real estate sector in 2025 Huatai Securities pointed out that commercial real estate faced challenges in 2024, but top-tier enterprises outperformed the industry in terms of both scale expansion and operational efficiency. Optimism about investment opportunities in the commercial real estate sector in 2025 is based on the following reasons: 1) The consumer market is expected to continue recovering under policy catalysts, providing a more solid end-use market foundation for commercial real estate; 2) Consumption REITs drive operators to achieve asset monetization, liquidity and management premiums, and extension of asset-light operational space; 3) The relative management advantages of top-tier operators continue to improve, strengthening their alpha attributes and continuing the logic of increased concentration; 4) Valuation advantages are prominent, with the valuation of the held property sector basically equivalent to its market capitalization. The market capitalization of the development business sector for some asset-heavy operators has fallen below the reasonable valuation of the held property sector, further enhancing corporate investment value.
