Group 1: Monthly Performance Review - In March 2026, the CSI 300 index fell by 4.93%, and the ChiNext index decreased by 2.21%. The monthly gold stock portfolio recorded a return of -12.18%, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 7.24 percentage points and the ChiNext index by 9.96 percentage points [3][10]. - The March market was characterized by high volatility due to policy expectations from the Two Sessions and escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East. Early in the month, the Two Sessions emphasized expanding investment, domestic demand, and technological innovation, which boosted market confidence. However, worsening Middle Eastern tensions led to international oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel, increasing global "stagflation" trading [3][17]. Group 2: Strategy Outlook for April 2026 - The A-share market in April is expected to remain volatile, primarily influenced by uncertainties in the Middle East, which limits the upward potential of the index. A prudent allocation strategy is recommended, focusing on dividend assets (banks, transportation, public utilities) to mitigate volatility while also investing in energy security sectors such as electric power equipment and new energy (lithium batteries, photovoltaics) [4][18]. - The macroeconomic fundamentals show that March, being a traditional peak season for work resumption, saw the PMI return to the expansion zone, with strong investment, social financing, and export figures in January and February. However, the internal driving force for consumption remains insufficient [3][17]. Group 3: Recommended Stocks for April 2026 - The recommended stocks for the April 2026 monthly gold stock portfolio include: - 300750.SZ Ningde Times - 301358.SZ Hunan Youneng - 600989.SH Baofeng Energy - 002648.SZ Satellite Chemical - 603806.SH Foster - 688630.SH Chipbond - 601952.SH Sukang Agricultural Development - 002594.SZ BYD - 300394.SZ Tianfu Communication - 600595.SH Zhongfu Industrial [5][21]. - The rationale for these recommendations includes: - Ningde Times is a leader in the lithium battery industry, benefiting from the growth in demand for energy storage and power batteries. - Hunan Youneng is a leader in the LFP industry, also benefiting from the increasing demand for energy storage batteries. - Baofeng Energy and Satellite Chemical are both leaders in coal chemical and light hydrocarbon chemical sectors, respectively, benefiting from rising oil prices [23].
