【光大证券：近期以稳为主 但仍应持股过节】智通财经1月25日电，光大证券研报表示，保持稳健，持 股过节。参考之前的市场行情，认为春节前市场将会保持震荡，难以保持稳定的趋势，这主要与春节之 前投资者交易热度有所下行，以及微观流动性短期趋紧有关。从历史情况来看，春节前20个交易日，主 要指数上涨概率不足50%。预计春节之后市场将会迎来新一轮上行动力，春节后20个交易日主要指数上 行概率与平均涨幅均较高。因此建议投资者近期以稳为主，但仍应持股过节。行业方面，关注电子、电 力设备、有色金属等。若1月市场风格为成长，五维行业比较框架打分靠前的行业分别为电子、电力设 备、通信、有色金属、汽车、国防军工；若1月份市场风格为防御，五维行业比较框架打分靠前的行业 分别为非银金融、电子、有色金属、电力设备、汽车、交通运输等。两种风格假设下，得分靠前行业具 有一定的相似性。 炒股就看金麒麟分析师研报，权威，专业，及时，全面，助您挖掘潜力主题机会！ 转自：智通财经 ...

- The report introduces a quantitative model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to analyze price-volume data and predict future prices. The model standardizes price-volume data into graphical representations and maps learned features to industry theme indices, such as the CSI Petrochemical Industry Index, CSI Subdivision Chemical Industry Theme Index, CSI Machine Tool Index, CSI Semiconductor Material Equipment Theme Index, and CSI Nonferrous Metals Index[78][80][81] - The construction process of the CNN model involves transforming individual stock price-volume data within a specific window into standardized graphical charts. These charts are then input into the CNN for feature extraction and prediction modeling.
