Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - Trump may soon announce the next Fed Chair. If the Fed cuts interest rates, it will be beneficial for A-shares. However, the external market environment is highly uncertain due to Trump's threats regarding tariffs and energy sanctions. A-shares have shown strong index performance in the past two days but lack trading volume. In the short term, it is necessary to monitor whether the trading volume will recover and the activity of the technology sector to determine if the market will oscillate and break through the 3,674-point mark. In the long term, the market is expected to move upward with oscillations. The report is optimistic about the technology sector and suggests paying attention to its performance [1][2][10].
