Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core View - A-share major indices closed with mixed results, large-cap blue-chip stocks outperformed small and mid-cap stocks. The trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets increased significantly to 3.04 trillion yuan. Overseas geopolitical conflicts may push up oil prices, causing concerns about re-inflation, potentially leading to the Fed's failure to cut interest rates this year, suppressing the RMB exchange rate, and limiting the PBOC's room for RRR cuts and interest rate cuts. Meanwhile, the decline in overseas stock markets will also have a negative impact on A-shares. However, strong consumer spending during the Spring Festival shows the effectiveness of domestic demand expansion policies, and the accelerated movement of household deposits provides liquidity support for the stock market. Currently, market concerns about external risk events may put short-term pressure on A-shares, but the long-term trend depends on the increase in oil prices and the recovery of the domestic economic fundamentals [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Disk - IF main contract (2603) was at 4711.2, up 3.2; IH main contract (2603) was at 3045.8, up 2.4; IC main contract (2603) was at 8627.0, down 6.0; IM main contract (2603) was at 8423.8, down 97.8.
