投资策略研究|无惧市场波动，慢牛仍在进行——周观点20250922

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market is experiencing a slow bull market despite short-term volatility, driven by active capital inflow and a focus on growth sectors, particularly technology [4][7]. Market Overview - From September 15 to September 19, the A-share market showed a mixed performance with major indices fluctuating. Growth sectors, represented by the ChiNext, performed strongly, while large financial and resource sectors faced significant pressure [4]. - The market is characterized by increased volatility in daily trading, with some investors taking profits following the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut, while others continue to invest in growth stocks [4][5]. Federal Reserve's Rate Cut - The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 4.00%-4.25% on September 17, marking its first rate cut of 2025. This decision was anticipated by the market, leading to a preemptive rally in growth sectors such as AI and semiconductors [5]. - The Fed's overall tone was neutral, indicating a "preventive rate cut" to manage rising risks in the job market. Future rate cut expectations suggest an additional 50 basis points reduction within 2025 [5]. Domestic Economic Data - August economic data in China showed a steady but weak trend, with pressures across production, consumption, investment, and exports. Industrial production remained resilient but slowed, while traditional sectors like consumer goods faced declining growth [6]. - Fixed asset investment continued to weaken, significantly impacted by the real estate sector, with both manufacturing and infrastructure investment growth rates declining [6]. Market Dynamics - The "asset scarcity" phenomenon is driving residents to seek higher-yield investment products, contributing to the ongoing slow bull market. The risk appetite among investors has increased following the Fed's rate cut [7]. - Market trading volume concentration has increased, indicating a stronger focus on leading sectors. Although there are signs of potential market consolidation, the previous strong sectors remain robust [7]. Recommended Investment Directions - Growth technology sectors are expected to continue performing well, with opportunities emerging in AI computing, solid-state batteries, robotics, and biotechnology. The domestic storage chip industry is poised for growth due to the need for self-sufficiency [8]. - The Hong Kong stock market, lagging behind A-shares, is anticipated to rebound due to the Fed's rate cut and ongoing capital inflows. The current market trend shows a joint rise in technology and cyclical sectors [8].
