The growth rate of household deposits fell to a historical low, indicating a marginal strengthening trend in the "deposit migration index," but deposits mainly remained in banks in the form of "non-bank deposits." The overall liability side of banks remained relatively ample, leading to a widening gap of 3.78 percentage points in loan-to-deposit growth rates, forcing banks to turn to the bond market for allocation, providing rigid buying support for interest rate bonds and high-grade credit bonds [5][6] Macroeconomic Outlook - The economic operation in the first two months of 2026 is expected to continue the structural characteristics of stable supply, recovering demand, moderate prices, and weak credit. The industrial production value added is expected to grow by approximately 5.0% year-on-year, while retail sales are projected to rebound to 5.1% year-on-year, although the real estate sector remains weak, constraining household consumption and investment. Fixed asset investment growth is expected to be around 2.0%, with manufacturing showing resilience and infrastructure likely to be supported by policy measures. External demand is expected to remain resilient, with export growth projected at 4.6% and import growth at 1.7%. CPI is expected to rise moderately to 0.7%, while PPI is expected to hover around -1.3%. Overall, steady growth policies are expected to support a "good start" in the first quarter, but the recovery slope will depend on alleviating real estate drag and sustaining internal demand [7][10]

Investors should focus on controlling risks and making informed decisions about when to buy or sell stocks [4][5]. - Two primary methods for controlling investment risk are diversification and careful stock selection. Diversification serves as a defensive strategy, acknowledging the unpredictability of the market, while careful stock selection is an offensive strategy aimed at identifying certainty within a limited understanding [5][6]. Risk Management - Diversification involves creating a balanced portfolio across different industries and asset types, which helps mitigate losses when certain sectors underperform [5][6]. - Careful stock selection requires investors to assess their understanding of a company, its competitive advantages, and whether the current price offers a margin of safety. This process helps filter out risks [6][7]. Understanding Risks - The greatest risks in investing often stem from the investors themselves, such as chasing trends, frequent trading, and making impulsive decisions based on market fluctuations. These risks are avoidable [7]. - True risk is not merely market volatility but the permanent loss of capital, which is often determined at the moment of purchase. Understanding the relationship between risk and return is crucial, as high risk does not always equate to high returns [7][8]. Investment Mindset - Successful investors are those who can say "no" to unnecessary risks and maintain control over their investment decisions, including position sizing and entry prices [7][8]. - The article emphasizes that investing is a long-term journey, where patience and a focus on fundamental value are key to achieving favorable outcomes over time [9].
