1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market entered a high - level consolidation phase after a long - term continuous rise. Some funds' increased hedging demand at high levels led to differences in long - and short - term forces, causing significant fluctuations in stock indices. However, from a long - term perspective, China's capital market is just at the beginning of its strategic allocation period. The CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices, which are rich in technology - growth components, are more offensive, with larger fluctuations but potentially higher returns. The SSE 50 and CSI 300 indices, dominated by dividend blue - chip stocks, are more defensive, with smaller fluctuations but relatively weaker price elasticity [2]. 3.
