[4] Global Stock Market Performance - In 2025, global stock markets exhibited strong bullish trends across various regions, including A-shares, Southeast Asia, and major European markets, driven by the Fed's rate cuts and a weaker dollar. [5] - The Trump administration's strategy aims to leverage a weaker dollar to boost exports and manufacturing jobs, enhancing risk appetite in the market. [5] Technology Sector Outlook - The technology sector is expected to remain a market focus in 2026, driven by advancements in high-end manufacturing and new technologies like artificial intelligence that enhance productivity. [6][7] - Government policies are strongly supportive of technological innovation, with significant emphasis on AI and robotics as strategic emerging industries.

[2][8][9] - The 中证 A500 index is recommended as a suitable investment option, offering broader exposure to emerging growth sectors compared to traditional indices like the 沪深 300. [10][11] Recommendations for New Investors - New investors are encouraged to consider the 中证 A500 ETF, which has a broad investor base and demonstrates stability during market fluctuations. [12] Additional Important Insights - The capital market's recovery in 2025 is attributed to a correction of previously undervalued assets rather than significant fundamental improvements.
