首先是"反内卷要解决什么问题"。当下产能过剩，源于2020年至2022年特殊时期。当时国外受口罩因素 影响，很多产品无法生产，而我国防控得当，能生产世界所需产品。那段时间，我国港口异常繁忙，集 装箱价格飙升，各地也涌现出大量光伏、锂电项目，不少原本卖玩具、牛奶的公司都跨界投资锂电和光 伏。然而，很多公司从2022年年中开始股价持续下跌。更尴尬的是，2021年和2022年规划的光伏、锂电 项目在这两年陆续建成，陷入两难境地：不生产就烂尾，造成亏损；生产则产能过剩，只能降价销售， 虽能维持运营，但整个行业陷入恶性循环。即便去年开始要求光伏、锂电行业减产，效果也不明显，今 年只能强行干预。再看互联网大厂，美国科技公司都在卷AI、无人驾驶、元宇宙等高科技，而我国大 厂却卷共享单车、买菜、外卖，甚至放贷。早些年满大街的共享单车，如今大多已不见踪影，这背后的 代价又该由谁承担？所以，想要发展，反内卷很有必要，但反内卷绝不等于涨价，周五晚上黑色系集体 重挫就是信号。 （原标题：和讯投顾彭国远：7月主线是反内卷，8月主线是自主可控的大科技） 7月27日，和讯投顾彭国远称，要确定8月市场主线，得先弄明白7月的轮动情况。周五市场 ...
