With the slight rise in the European and American stock markets yesterday, the A-share market is expected to be positively influenced today. The Nasdaq index reached an all-time high, up 255 points, while the Dow Jones index saw a slight decline. The European stock markets performed positively overall, and the offshore RMB exchange rate hovered around 7.14.

During the National Day holiday, international gold prices continued to rise, with New York gold prices breaking the $4,000 mark, once again setting a historical record. This trend is expected to drive the A-share gold sector to open higher today. The increase in gold prices is particularly beneficial for companies with gold mine assets, as evidenced by their significant profit growth. Investors should also pay attention to related sectors such as small metals, industrial metals, energy metals, and precious metals, which also have upward potential.

The upward momentum of the Shanghai Composite Index continues. On the last trading day before the holiday, the index rose by 20 points, just 18 points away from the 3900 mark. Notably, although trading activity usually declines before holidays, the trading volume in the first two trading days before this year's National Day holiday actually increased, reaching 973.3 billion yuan. This phenomenon of sustained or even increased trading volume indicates that investors remain optimistic about the market outlook, and the continuous inflow of funds provides impetus for further increases in the Shanghai Composite Index.

As the first trading day of October, the A-share market is expected to start well. With sufficient trading volume support, the Shanghai Composite Index is likely to continue its upward trend. Investors should closely monitor market movements and seize potential investment opportunities.
