A-Share Market Overview - The A-share market experienced an overall decline in the first week of August, with small-cap growth sectors showing smaller declines compared to large-cap growth sectors. The CSI 2000 index fell by 0.01%, while the ChiNext index decreased by 0.74%. In contrast, the Northbound 50 index dropped by 2.70% [5] - The decline in the market was largely driven by significant drops in upstream resource products, with non-ferrous metals down by 4.69%, coal down by 4.56%, and building materials down by 3.32%. The political bureau meeting at the end of July adjusted its stance on "anti-involution," leading to a relative cooling of the policy's intensity, which contributed to the pullback in the upstream resource sector [5] - Looking ahead, the political bureau meeting's outcomes were in line with expectations, maintaining a steady overall policy stance. The report anticipates that the A-share market will continue to experience structural upward fluctuations driven by valuation recovery under a dual easing environment of fiscal and monetary policy [5] Hong Kong Market Overview - The Hong Kong market also saw a significant pullback in the first week of August, with the Hang Seng Index declining by 3.47% and the Hang Seng Tech Index falling by 4.94%.

Additionally, weakened sales expectations in the home appliance sector led to significant declines in consumer discretionary stocks like Midea. The internet and social services sector in Hong Kong also faced declines due to weakened consumption expectations [6] - The report suggests that while market sentiment has cooled, the internet and social services sector in Hong Kong is currently at a low valuation, indicating potential for upward movement. Furthermore, with rising AI capital expenditures and increased support for technological innovation policies, leading companies in the Hang Seng Tech sector are expected to have medium to long-term growth potential [6]
