A balanced allocation strategy is recommended, with a focus on technology represented by AI applications, as well as traditional assets like liquor and real estate, and upstream cyclical sectors [1][3] Historical Context - Historically, during spring rallies since 2005, both growth and value styles have performed similarly, with average maximum gains of 24.0% for growth and 23.5% for value [2][14] - The current market is still within a bull market atmosphere that began in September 2024, with significant structural differentiation observed.

Since December 17, 2025, the spring rally has gradually unfolded, supported by broad-based ETFs, flexible foreign capital, and leveraged funds [1][11] - As of January 23, 2026, the industry rotation strength in the A-share market was at a historical low of 18% over the past five years, but there has been a recent uptick, suggesting that structural rotation may be beginning [12][14] Future Outlook - The current spring rally is expected to continue, with historical comparisons indicating a potential index increase of around 20%. The maximum increase of the Shanghai Composite Index since December 17, 2025, has only been 9.8%, indicating room for growth [3][30] - Continued macroeconomic policy support is anticipated to provide a fundamental basis for market growth, with a focus on stabilizing the real estate market as indicated by recent government statements [30][31] Sector Allocation - The technology sector, particularly driven by the AI wave, remains a key focus, with expectations for the rally to expand from hardware to application sectors. Recent developments in AI applications have been notable, suggesting a shift towards practical implementations [31][32] - In addition to technology, traditional value sectors such as undervalued liquor and real estate assets are also recommended for consideration in the current market environment [31][32]
