Dividend - related assets are expected to be relatively resilient in the short - term [8]. - For equity strategies, a cautious and defensive approach is maintained. The implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" is unfavorable for risk assets. Although the crowded trading risk in the TMT sector has been lifted, the current valuation is still high, and there is a significant risk of retracement in the short - term. There is also pressure on the liquidity premium of small - cap stocks to narrow. It is recommended to prevent retracement risks in small - cap and TMT sectors and track their valuation digestion process [8]. - For option strategies, a neutral attitude is held. Financial option strategies can be standard - allocated. In the face of event shocks, volatility is likely to remain high.
