Core Viewpoint - The A-share market is experiencing a shift from broad-based gains to structural depth, with a clear focus on two main lines: resource sectors and technology [1] Group 1: Market Performance - The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.31%, while the ChiNext Index saw a slight decline, indicating a "strong Shanghai, weak Shenzhen" market dynamic [1] - The leading sectors include oil and petrochemicals, national defense, and electronics, while utilities, pharmaceuticals, and consumer sectors are declining [1] Group 2: Drivers of Nonferrous Metals - Global liquidity expectations are influencing resource pricing, with the U.S. CPI data reinforcing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, benefiting precious metals like gold and silver, as well as copper [2] - The structural reshaping of demand in the new energy sector is providing a growth narrative for traditional industrial metals, with copper being termed the "electrification metal" and aluminum as the "lightweight metal" [2] - The rigid constraints of supply and demand fundamentals are a foundational element for price increases, particularly evident in silver, which has faced a significant supply shortage for five consecutive years [2] - Geopolitical risks and domestic policies are acting as dual catalysts, enhancing the safe-haven value of precious metals while supportive fiscal policies in China provide a potential recovery space for industrial metal demand [2] Group 3: Investment Outlook - The active nonferrous metals sector is not isolated but aligns with the strong performance of the technology growth sector, indicating two major investment strategies: "buy inflation/revaluation" (resources) and "buy growth/future" (technology) [3] - The upcoming cross-year market is expected to present more structural opportunities than index-based ones, with a focus on identifying where the opportunities lie [3] - Key areas to watch include nonferrous metals with tight supply-demand dynamics (copper, silver), hard technology sectors on the brink of domestic production and new technologies (semiconductor equipment, AI applications), and high-end equipment manufacturing capable of international expansion and upgrades [3]
