Core Viewpoint - The article suggests that the worst phase of the economic fundamentals may have passed, with expectations for a recovery in the U.S. economy and increasing inflationary pressures.

Sector Analysis - The article expresses optimism for sectors such as manufacturing, military, energy, and infrastructure in the U.S. and Europe, which are expected to maintain high levels of activity and support resource prices like copper and aluminum [2][28]. - The financial sector is also seen as having investment value due to liquidity expansion and financial deregulation [28][40]. Currency and Asset Valuation - The anticipated depreciation of the dollar and the return of pending foreign exchange funds are expected to support the appreciation of the Chinese yuan [3][30]. - The article suggests that the weak dollar environment will favor growth-oriented stocks in both A-shares and Hong Kong markets, particularly in technology and materials sectors [33][49]. Bond Market Insights - The article notes that short-term market sentiment is currently driving bond market fluctuations, with a potential for increased volatility in the bond market due to strong performance in risk assets [50][56]. - It is expected that the long-term bond yields may trend upwards due to the issuance of new debt and economic recovery, but there remains potential for a downward adjustment in yields if the Federal Reserve resumes quantitative easing [56][58].
