Core Viewpoints - The report indicates that a turning point in the US-Iran conflict is emerging, with a decrease in oil prices facilitating risk release. Negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing, suggesting a desire for a peace agreement from Tehran. The US aims to curb Iran's nuclear capabilities and ensure the safety of the Strait of Hormuz while avoiding prolonged military engagements [4] - The report suggests that the A-share market has experienced sufficient short-term adjustments, and the timing for medium-term positioning is approaching. The market has retreated from the 4000-4200 point range to the 3800-4000 range, with a potential new market bottom forming around 3900 [5] Market Analysis - The report highlights that the rise in energy prices has directly impacted the A-share market, increasing cost pressures for China as a major oil importer. This has raised concerns about a global economic recession and affected China's manufacturing exports. The easing of the conflict is expected to improve market risk appetite, reducing the significant short-term disturbances caused by oil price fluctuations [5] - Historical analysis of previous conflicts, such as the Iraq War and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, indicates that these events typically cause short-term market disturbances rather than long-term impacts. The report anticipates that the A-share market will establish a medium-term bottom, with the 3800 point level serving as a potential area for medium-term positioning [5] Investment Strategy - The report suggests that with the easing of Middle Eastern conflicts, market risk appetite is likely to increase. Sectors that previously benefited from high oil prices may face correction pressures, while safe-haven assets may see reduced excess returns. As the US dollar weakens, precious metals are expected to rebound, and industries affected by supply chain issues are likely to recover [6] - Key sectors to focus on include technology industries represented by AI and applications, commercial aerospace, robotics, and semiconductor equipment, as well as cyclical stocks in chemicals and non-ferrous metals benefiting from emerging industry trends [6]
