Market Review - The global stock markets mostly declined this week, with A-shares and European markets experiencing the largest drops. The geopolitical situation between the US and Iran remains uncertain, leading to increased risks of economic stagflation and volatility in oil prices and inflation. The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates in March, coupled with a hawkish statement, has raised concerns about a tightening dollar, suppressing market risk appetite. Consequently, A-shares have seen a general pullback, with trading volumes continuing to shrink, indicating a cooling of investor sentiment in a rapidly rotating sector environment. Defensive sectors such as food and beverage, banking, and high-growth areas like storage and AI computing have performed relatively better [1][2][3]. Market Outlook - The report suggests focusing on banking and other defensive sectors while awaiting more "stabilizing market" policies. The ongoing US-Iran conflict and delayed expectations for overseas interest rate cuts are likely to continue suppressing global risk appetite. In contrast, the domestic policy environment appears more certain, with regulators signaling a commitment to stabilize the capital market. Anticipated policies include the establishment of a "stabilization fund," optimization of structural tools for the capital market, and measures to encourage medium- to long-term capital inflows [2][4]. Geopolitical Risks - The trajectory of geopolitical events remains highly uncertain, and the market must remain vigilant regarding extreme tail risks associated with oil supply disruptions. The recent three-week period of the US-Iran conflict has seen global stock indices decline, but the drops have been less than 10%, indicating a more optimistic pricing of the conflict compared to the significant declines seen during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict. If oil shipping disruptions persist or the conflict spreads, there could be further spikes in oil prices and supply chain interruptions, reminiscent of the oil crises in the 1970s [3][4]. Domestic Policy Environment - The domestic regulatory framework continues to emphasize stabilizing the capital market and promoting medium- to long-term capital inflows. The People's Bank of China has indicated a commitment to maintaining the stability of financial markets, with potential policies including a "stabilization fund" mechanism supported by liquidity from the central bank, optimization of structural monetary policy tools, and enhancements to the A-share investment environment [4][5]. Monetary Policy and Economic Outlook - Input-driven inflation is expected to have limited constraints on China's monetary policy, with a continued focus on maintaining a loose liquidity environment. The central bank aims to promote stable economic growth and reasonable price recovery, with a commitment to using various monetary policy tools to ensure ample liquidity. Fiscal policies are also expected to become more proactive, focusing on improving public services and increasing government investment in livelihood projects, which could help enhance consumer expectations and create a positive inflation-wage cycle [5][6]. Sector Allocation - The report recommends a defensive strategy, focusing on sectors such as banking, public utilities, and essential consumer goods. Additionally, there is an emphasis on energy independence through investments in new energy and electricity sectors, as well as high-growth areas like AI computing and energy storage [5][6].
