Historically, the stock index performance around the two sessions has been relatively positive, and the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices have performed better. Therefore, the stock index is expected to maintain an oscillating upward trend in March [4]. 1.3 Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: Oscillate upward. - Arbitrage: Long IM/IC2609 contracts + Short ETFs. - Options: Bull spread strategy [5]. 2. Second Part: January Market Review 2.1 Stock Market - Index Performance Differentiated - In February, the A-share market continued to oscillate upward. The SSE 50 index closed with a negative monthly line, the CSI 300 index rose steadily, and the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices accelerated their rise after the Spring Festival. As of February 26, the monthly increase of the CSI 300 index was 0.44%, the SSE 50 index fell 1.02%, the CSI 500 index rose 2.23%, and the CSI 1000 index rose 2.86%. Non - metallic materials, machinery and equipment, and national defense and military industry sectors led the gains, while insurance, media and Internet, social services, and agricultural products sectors led the decline [9][12]. 2.2 Stock Index Futures - Widened Basis and Shrinking Trading Volume - In February, the basis of stock index futures widened significantly compared with the previous month. The average monthly basis of the IF current - month contract was a 4 - point discount, the IH current - month contract had an average monthly premium of 0.99 points, the IC current - month contract had an average monthly discount of 2.67 points, and the IM current - month contract had an average monthly discount of 2.9 points. The trading volume and open interest of stock index futures decreased overall. The average daily trading volume of IM, IC, IF, and IH decreased by 18.3%, 17.5%, 27.5%, and 19% respectively compared with the previous month; the average daily open interest of IM, IC, and IF decreased by 0.6%, 5.8%, and 4.6% respectively, while the average daily open interest of IH increased by 5.6%. The increase in the basis made the cost of short - position roll - over of stock index futures increase again. The net short - position of each variety fluctuated with the market, and the net short - position of the top five and top ten seats of each variety increased on average compared with the previous month, with IH having a significant increase in positions [15][19][24]. 3. Third Part: Future Outlook and Investment Strategy 3.1 The Price Increase Theme is Driven by Abundant Funds - Recently, the price increase theme has become an important main line in the A-share market, spreading across various industries. The price increase is not only a reflection of the improvement in product prosperity and industry performance but also the result of abundant funds and speculation. Social funds are abundant, with the M1 year - on - year growth rate in January 2026 being 4.9% (previous value 3.8%), the M2 year - on - year growth rate being 9.0% (previous value 8.5%), and the new social financing being 7.2 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 165.4 billion yuan. The narrowing of the M2 - M1 gap may indicate abundant funds again. The appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar is beneficial to the stock market, and if the upward trend of the RMB exchange rate continues, it may bring liquidity to the stock and commodity markets. "Price increase" may be an important main line in the stock market this year [28][30][34]. 3.2 Policy Expectations are High - The Two Sessions in 2026 are expected to have an impact on the A-share market. Historically, the market performance around the Two Sessions has been relatively positive, with more disturbances during the meetings and increased market volatility. The CSI 1000 and CSI 500 indices have a higher probability of rising and larger increases. Benefiting from positive policy expectations, abundant liquidity, the AI technological revolution, and energy demand, the "steady and progressive" trend of the stock index is expected to continue. The sectors benefiting from the policy expectations of the Two Sessions are mainly in scientific and technological innovation and consumption promotion, and the CSI 1000 and CSI 500 indices with higher technological content will benefit more [35][36]. 3.3 Future Strategy - The price increase theme will continue to have an important impact on the market. The stock index is expected to maintain an oscillating upward trend in March, and the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices will perform better [37].
