长城基金：市场主线逐渐清晰，硬科技与顺周期机会凸显

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has shown a continuation of the risk appetite recovery observed before the Spring Festival, characterized by "increased volume and structural differentiation" in the first trading week after the holiday [1][3]. Market Performance - The overall market trend is influenced by rising overseas uncertainties, with geopolitical and tariff narratives resurfacing, leading to a pullback in the Hong Kong stock market while energy and resource sectors perform relatively well [1][3]. - A-shares exhibit a stronger internal momentum, maintaining high trading volumes with total turnover exceeding 2 trillion yuan [1][3]. Market Structure - The market style has shifted from a focus on "pure software/AI applications" to "hard technology + cyclical stocks" [1][3]. - The cyclical sector has shown a phase of strength, driven by geopolitical risk premiums pushing up energy prices and uncertainties around tariffs leading to "re-inflation trades" [1][3]. - The hard technology sector is characterized by a "discerning" approach, with funds favoring companies with verifiable orders and performance in the computing hardware chain (e.g., optical communication, PCB, liquid cooling), while being sensitive to AI software themes lacking performance validation [1][3]. Investment Strategy - The first week after the holiday has reinforced market risk appetite, but variables such as overseas geopolitical issues, tariffs, and interest rate expectations may amplify volatility [4]. - The current investment focus is clear, transitioning from narrative-driven to performance-driven, with attention on the following areas: - Emphasis on "performance verification" and "domestic substitution," particularly in AI computing hardware chains, semiconductor equipment, and materials, while avoiding high-volatility stocks without performance support [4]. - Focus on cyclical and resource sectors, leveraging the "hedging attributes" of geopolitical premiums and re-inflation, with potential value in energy, precious metals, and non-ferrous metals, while also considering traditional industries benefiting from "anti-involution" [4]. - Defensive and thematic directions, suggesting high-dividend sectors may offer some "anti-volatility" value amid increased fluctuations, with recommendations to base themes on policy documents and industry progress, avoiding purely conceptual extrapolations [4].
