The A-share market had a continuous upward trend, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a 10 - year high with 16 consecutive positive days and a weekly increase of nearly 4%. The Shenzhen Component Index and the ChiNext Index also rose, showing bull - market characteristics. The continuous growth of trading volume and the increase in investment risk preference are positive signals. The medium - term upward space has opened, and the market has many hotspots, mainly following the technology growth and pro - cyclical mainlines.
