Market Overview - A-share market shows divergence with the ChiNext index rising 1.58% to a new high for the year, while the Shanghai Composite Index remains stagnant, with over 3,800 stocks declining [1] External Market - U.S. stock markets have experienced three consecutive days of decline, particularly in technology stocks, with Oracle dropping 5.6%. However, Chinese concept stocks have shown resilience, with the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index slightly up by 0.42%, and companies like NIO and Xpeng Motors rising over 4%. The fluctuations in external markets are expected to have limited impact on A-shares, potentially accelerating foreign capital allocation into undervalued Chinese assets [3] Policy Environment - The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) chairman stated that foreign ownership of A-shares has reached 3.4 trillion yuan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, with 13 new foreign-controlled institutions entering the market. The establishment of a digital RMB international operation center in Shanghai and the launch of cross-border payment and blockchain platforms are expected to attract foreign investment and pave the way for sectors like technology and green finance [4] Capital Flow - Despite a net outflow of 23.6 billion yuan in main capital, the computer industry attracted 1.195 billion yuan, followed by power equipment and media. Foreign capital remains cautious, with a net outflow of 1.2 billion yuan from northbound funds. This indicates that domestic investors are focusing on AI applications (gaming, video) and new energy (energy storage, wind power), while foreign investors are opting to stay on the sidelines ahead of the holiday [5] Technical Analysis - The ChiNext index has reached a new high, with a daily MACD golden cross, but there is a risk of a rapid death cross triggering a daily top divergence. The Shanghai Composite Index is experiencing low-volume fluctuations around the 3,850-point mark, with support at 3,841 points and resistance at the previous high of 3,867 points. It is anticipated that trading volume will not increase significantly before the holiday, and any breakthroughs will depend on capital returning after the holiday [6] Market Sentiment - Market sentiment is cautious, with only 52 stocks hitting the daily limit up and 9 stocks hitting the limit down. Investors are advised to be wary of three types of "trap stocks": 1. High-position consecutive limit-up stocks (e.g., Hangdian shares facing consecutive limit downs) 2. Stocks with a high proportion of financing (vulnerable to the withdrawal of leveraged funds before the holiday) 3. Technology stocks with questionable performance (e.g., Changchuan Technology, despite a projected 131% increase, has negative operating cash flow) [8] Investment Strategy - The company suggests a three-step approach for the holiday period: - Maintain a position below 60% to keep cash available for post-holiday volatility - Focus on main lines: AI applications (gaming, video content) benefiting from generative AI, with companies like Kunlun Wanwei and Mango Media as potential beneficiaries - Post-holiday opportunities may arise in digital RMB cross-border payments and supply-side reforms in copper smelting, with companies like Jiangxi Copper and Northern Copper expected to be new hotspots [9]
