On the capital front, as of September 10, southbound funds had net bought Hong Kong stocks for nine consecutive trading days. As of the time of writing, southbound funds had net bought over HKD 5 billion worth of Hong Kong stocks intraday. Recently, southbound funds may once again favor Hong Kong stocks' AI core assets.

On the news front, on September 10, Amap officially launched the "Amap Street Sweeping List," covering three major categories: food, hotels, and scenic spots, with a particular focus on offline dining merchants. The list relies on Amap's behavioral data such as navigation, search,收藏 (favorites), and check-ins, combined with factors like repurchase rate, specially made trips, and audience breadth, and incorporates Sesame Credit weighting. It emphasizes "authenticity and non-manipulable scores" and promises never to commercialize. Additionally, Amap simultaneously launched the "Yanhuo Good Store Support Plan," planning to invest over RMB 1 billion in subsidies to bring an average of 10 million daily customer visits to offline merchants.
Haitong International believes that the Amap Street Sweeping List is essentially the first phase of Alibaba's intensified local life strategy. It has limited impact on the market share of Meituan and Douyin in the short term but has the potential to become a core lever for Alibaba in building an offline consumption ecosystem in the medium to long term. If the list is deeply integrated with transactions in the future (e.g., directing traffic to Ele.me or Taobao Quick Deals), it could form a closed loop from search and navigation to transaction fulfillment.
