Sectors such as media, home appliances, national defense and military industry, steel, and consumer services showed strong elasticity, while some previously soaring technology sectors entered a phase of consolidation or high - level fluctuations [3]. - On the supply and demand side, under the new refinancing regulations, the supply side may gradually improve.
