Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has shown significant upward momentum, with the Shanghai Composite Index surpassing 3800 points on August 22, marking a ten-year high. However, most major indices still need to rise over 50% to reach their historical peaks [2][4].

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has shown a significant N-shaped upward trend since September 24 of last year, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a 10-year high of 3800 points as of August 22, driven by fundamental expectations, liquidity conditions, and market sentiment [1][2][8]. Group 1: Logic Behind the Current Bull Market - The first driver is the fundamental expectation difference, where initial pessimism regarding the impact of the trade war on the economy and inflation shifted positively after negotiations began in May and anti-involution policies were implemented in July [2]. - The second driver is the liquidity easing, with both China and the U.S. in a monetary easing cycle, leading to increased demand for equity allocation amid a low-interest-rate environment and a weak dollar [4]. - The third driver is market sentiment, with a momentum effect following the market's upward breakthrough in July, leading to a significant increase in margin financing [6]. Group 2: Trend Judgment on A-share Market - The current A-share market is influenced by three key factors: a liquidity surplus, neutral corporate earnings, and valuation levels. M1 growth is still rising, and the weighted interest rates in China and the U.S. are slightly favorable for A-shares [7]. - Corporate earnings are expected to have limited recovery space, with nominal economic growth in the second half of the year likely to be similar to the past two years [7]. - Despite the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a 10-year high, valuations are not considered expensive, with the price-to-earnings ratio at the 89th percentile and the price-to-book ratio at the 53rd percentile [7][8]. Group 3: Structural Trend Judgment on A-share Market - Since the announcement of anti-involution policies in July, market trading logic has shifted to coexistence of economic expectation recovery and abundant liquidity, leading to strong performance in small-cap and technology stocks, while dividend stocks like banks have underperformed [13][16]. - The current market trading logic has transitioned from a late economic slowdown phase to an economic expansion phase, characterized by strong performance in small-cap and technology stocks [16]. - In terms of structural allocation, dividend stocks can serve as a stable base, while technology and small-cap stocks can be considered for aggressive positioning, with relatively low-valued consumer stocks as auxiliary allocations to balance risk and return [17].
