【Institutional Viewpoints】

1、CITIC Securities: Key levels still have strong support; the consumer sector is expected to keep receiving market catalysts

From the overall market’s operating logic, China’s A-shares are currently in a period of consolidation and stabilization. Although the index level has not seen a major upward move, key levels still offer strong support. After multiple attempts to bottom out, the Shanghai Composite has rebounded quickly, reflecting confidence brought by domestic policy backstops and a rebound in economic fundamentals.

Market style is relatively balanced. Low-valuation blue-chip stocks and the consumer sector have become a safe haven for funds, while growth tracks are entering a short-term consolidation phase. Structural market characteristics continue to unfold, with funds more inclined to position themselves around earnings certainty and policy-driven positives.

Looking ahead, in the near term the market will still be affected by overseas developments and expectations of Federal Reserve policy. However, the domestic economic recovery trend remains unchanged. Policies such as consumer stimulus and industrial support will continue to strengthen, becoming the core support for A-shares to withstand external risks.

Overall, yesterday’s A-shares demonstrated strong downside resilience under multiple pressures. Structural opportunities remain active. In addition, with A-shares recently opening lower and then closing higher consecutively, signs have begun to emerge that the market is becoming less sensitive to overseas conflicts. This is beneficial for A-shares to run independently. Going forward, investors should continuously monitor the effectiveness of policy implementation, the flow of foreign capital, and volatility in overseas markets, seize the rotation rhythm among sectors, and invest rationally.

As the “trade-in for replacement” policy is gradually implemented and takes effect, the consumer sector is expected to keep receiving market catalysts. For resource-sector stocks, investors should pay attention to changes in the geopolitical situation. For technology and growth tracks, if earnings deliver after the adjustment, they still have room for repair. In terms of strategy, it is suggested that investors maintain a cautious optimism, focus on consumer blue chips with solid performance and high-dividend targets, avoid pure-Theme stocks with high valuations, and wait for the market’s direction to become clearer.

2、Everbright Securities: Middle East geopolitical conflict further reinforces the safe-haven logic; focus on relevant safe-haven sectors

Looking ahead, given that the A-share market continues to be hit by extreme volatility in overseas markets, the geopolitical trend remains unpredictable. Therefore, short-term market action is expected to maintain a pattern of “index consolidation with structural hot spots rotating quickly.”

The Middle East geopolitical conflict further reinforces the safe-haven logic, so investors should pay attention to the relevant safe-haven sectors. Among them, geopolitical factors have catalyzed oil prices to hover at elevated levels above $100, directly benefiting oil and gas exploration-related sectors. In addition, strikes by the U.S.-Iran side on important aluminum companies in the Middle East, among others, intensify supply concerns in areas such as industrial metals and chemical raw materials, which also strengthens the performance of the related sectors.
