Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Review - **Market Performance**: Most major market indices declined last week, with the CSI 500 having a relatively large decline. Among the major industries, the financial index and the daily consumption index performed relatively well, while the material index and the industrial index performed weakly. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 2 industries rose (communications and banks), and the industries with large declines were non - ferrous metals, basic chemicals, and steel [11][13][14]. - **Trading Heat**: The average daily trading volume of the Wind All - A last week was 2.211117 trillion yuan (the previous value was 2.498707 trillion yuan), which was at a relatively high historical level (87.50% of the three - year historical quantile) [9][25]. - **Valuation Tracking**: As of March 20, 2026, the valuation (PE_TTM) of the Wind All - A was 22.59, a decrease of 0.74 from the previous week, and it was at the 95.60% quantile of the historical (nearly 5 - year) level.

Market Observation - **Understanding the Sharp Drop in Precious Metals This Week**: The inverse correlation between gold and crude oil prices has significantly increased. Gold's pricing logic is changing, and it is more affected by capital and trading structure. The market's expectation of the long - term nature of the conflict is rising, and the cost - effectiveness of crude oil risk gambling is decreasing [4]. - **Which A - share Sectors May Continuously Benefit from the Long - term Geopolitical Conflict**: The long - term structural changes brought about by the increase in the oil price center have not been fully priced by the market. The external demand logic of the new energy industry chain may be continuously strengthened, and the demand for upstream resource products and mid - stream equipment manufacturing is expected to increase. It is recommended to reduce the participation in "conflict - trading" sectors in the short term and focus on new energy and global manufacturing reconstruction in the medium - to - long - term [7]. Economic Calendar - This week, attention should be paid to domestic economic data such as March fixed - asset investment, social retail sales, industrial added value, and unemployment rate, as well as overseas economic data such as the March euro - zone CPI year - on - year and month - on - month, the US federal funds rate forecast, and the US Federal Reserve bank reserve amount.
