Core Viewpoint - Recent market adjustments are attributed to debates surrounding AI narratives, tightening liquidity, and geopolitical disturbances, which have collectively increased market volatility [2][3]. Market Adjustment Factors - The market correction is driven by multiple factors: 1) Growing skepticism among global investors regarding sustained capital expenditure in AI, exacerbated by Nvidia's unexpected earnings report leading to a decline in its stock price, heightening investor concerns and market deleveraging [2][3]. 2) Year-end profit preservation sentiment among investors and tightening dollar liquidity expectations have disturbed global risk assets, with the Fed's rate cut expectations dropping to about 30% [2]. 3) Increased geopolitical tensions have accelerated a risk-off sentiment in the market, reflected in declines across various asset classes including stocks, bonds, and gold [2]. A-shares Market Valuation - Current A-share market adjustments indicate a preliminary sense of space, with a model predicting a reasonable forward PE TTM of approximately 13.6x for the Shanghai Composite Index, suggesting strong support around the market's central position in late September [3]. Liquidity Improvement Signals - Positive signals for liquidity include: 1) A potential reduction in leverage among financing funds, with the average guarantee ratio in the margin trading market falling to early August levels [4]. 2) A continued upward trend in private equity fund registrations [4]. 3) Investor sentiment, as measured by the breadth index, has declined to near yearly lows, indicating a potential recovery foundation [4]. 4) The peak of stock unlocks has passed, alleviating supply-side pressures [4]. Investment Strategy and Focus Areas - Emphasis on safety margins in investment strategies, focusing on: 1) Identifying stocks with low valuation and low crowding, particularly in sectors like seasoning and fermentation, leisure food, and communication services [5]. 2) Basic fundamentals, targeting sectors with improving supply-demand dynamics, such as textiles, commercial vehicles, and rare metals [5]. 3) High-dividend assets, as market risk appetite declines, with a focus on cyclical dividends in coal, chemicals, and steel, as well as potential dividends in railroads, food processing, and construction materials [5].
