As business activities in China mostly resume to a normal level, we also observed some mean-reversion in factor returns, and interesting rotation in sector returns. Still, China A shares continue to outperform the US and global equity markets. With “high-quality” growth emphasized by the 14th Five-Year Plan and “Dual Circulation”, we believe “Quality Growth” will continue to be the main tone of China A equities.

So, it is official: Exit Donald Trump, enter President Joe Biden. And when the cheering and crying is done, we are likely to see that the election meant more emotionally to Americans than it does economically for the nation, or financially for the markets. The big economic and market trends are unlikely to be changed by the election.

China’s 14th, Five-Year Plan is a refreshing reiteration of conventional supply side policies, at a time when Developed Markets are in the grip of very unorthodox economic policies.

The term "dual circulation” is one of the hot searches in China and receives great attention after President Xi first expressed this idea at a top official meeting held earlier this year. He then elaborated further that China’s economic model will be involving an internal circulation developing a substantial domestic market, and an external circulation deepening the international trade. The latest meeting of Communist Party’s Central Committee reinforced this policy will be the core component of the 14th five-year plan for the development between 2021 and 2025.

Yield curve steepening – which has been accelerating in recent weeks as the market contemplates a whopper of a stimulus package under a possible Biden White House – is likely to continue regardless of the winner on November 3.

The macroeconomic landscape is shifting rapidly, driving a brutal global bond selloff that has pushed yields to nearly two-decade highs. Rising oil prices and firmer-than-expected July PCE data—featuring a rebound in core goods that points to underlying inflation of around 3%—are reigniting inflation concerns. This has triggered a retreat across sovereign debt markets, from Japan and Australia to US Treasuries, where the 10-year yield recently hit its highest level since January of last year. Against this backdrop, monetary policy is becoming a source of volatility rather than clarity. While Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish message at Jackson Hole hinting at potential rate hikes, bond investors remain deeply skeptical. Given Warsh’s history of mixed signals, markets are actively hedging against the risk that the Fed ultimately keeps rates steady. Compounding this policy uncertainty is a resurgence in equity turbulence driven by protectionist trade measures, including impending semiconductor tariffs and bans on foreign energy grid equipment. This volatile combination of unpredictable central bank action, equity turbulence, and a severe selloff at the long end of the yield curve makes the stability of Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) exceptionally appealing. FRNs structurally insulate portfolios from the duration risk currently punishing traditional bonds, while retaining the flexibility to capture higher yields if the Fed does hike. Even if rates simply remain steady, FRNs provide a reliable, premium income stream. For efficient, liquid access to this defensive strategy, the Premia US Treasury Floating ETF (available in Distributing and Accumulating Unit Classes) offers a targeted solution to navigate today's complex market dynamics.
