0. Weekly Arc ^[1][2]

• **[ONGOING]** The arc is an export- and industry-supported expansion with an unfinished domestic-demand repair: a brokerage research-index roundup carried by Sina Finance says Q3 growth beat expectations, net exports drove the rebound, consumption's contribution improved from Q2, and investment's contribution fell significantly ^[1]

• **[NEW]** The demand split remains clear: final consumption contributed 46.7% of first-three-quarters growth and pulled GDP up 2.1 percentage points, while fixed-asset investment's cumulative y/y growth was flat in September after prior declines and October home-sales area showed a 20.6% y/y drop ^[1][3]
• **[ONGOING]** The brokerage's policy view favors execution over fresh stimulus: it forecasts 4.6% growth in both Q4 and the full year and says the likelihood of additional policy stimulus has fallen markedly ^[1]
• **[ONGOING]** Source-quality note: the Q3 growth interpretation, October high-frequency readings and policy forecasts come from a brokerage research-index roundup, while the industrial-profit figure is a separately relayed National Bureau of Statistics release ^[1][2]
