[3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro - finance - Overseas: With the continuation of the war and low traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have rebounded, the US dollar index remains strong, and US Treasury yields have slightly declined, leading to a cooling of global risk appetite. [3] - Domestic: From January to February, China's economy rebounded more than expected, exports far exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover. The overall economic and inflation situation was better than expected. The government work report set the main development targets and fiscal and monetary policies for 2026, with the overall targets and policy intensity lower than in 2025. [3][4] - Market: The recent market trading logic has mainly focused on Middle - East geopolitical risks. In the short term, although the domestic economy is better than expected, the stock index will fluctuate weakly and with increased volatility due to the mixed geopolitical news.

Treasury bonds will fluctuate in the short term, and it is also advisable to wait and see carefully. [3] Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as military equipment, electricity, and communications, the domestic stock market has continued to rebound significantly. [4] - Fundamentally, from January to February, China's economy rebounded more than expected, exports far exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover. The overall economic and inflation situation was better than expected. The government work report set the main development targets and fiscal and monetary policies for 2026, with the overall targets and policy intensity lower than in 2025. [4] - The recent market trading logic has mainly focused on Middle - East geopolitical risks. In the short term, although the domestic economy is better than expected, the stock index will fluctuate weakly and with increased volatility due to the mixed geopolitical news. Currently, influenced by the US's signals of easing and a cease - fire, the domestic stock index market has recovered. It is advisable to wait and see carefully in the short term. [4] Precious Metals - On Wednesday night, the precious metals market rose overall. The main contract of Shanghai Gold closed at 1016.92 yuan/gram, up 1.82%; the main contract of Shanghai Silver closed at 18000 yuan/kilogram, up 2.15%. [5] - As the market weighs the uncertainty of the Middle - East situation, the global market has fluctuated sharply, and the decline of the US dollar index has provided some support for precious metals. Spot gold has stabilized and rebounded, ending a nine - day losing streak, and finally closed up 1.54% at 4474.31 US dollars/ounce, but it is still suppressed by the strong US dollar and rising US Treasury yields; spot silver has turned from a decline to an increase, and finally closed up 2.8% at 71.05 US dollars/ounce. [5] - Precious metals will fluctuate significantly and rebound in the short term. It is advisable to wait and see carefully. [5] Black Metals - **Steel**: On Wednesday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets declined slightly, and market transactions were at a low level. Recently, the steel market has mainly followed the fluctuations of energy prices, and the decline in oil prices has led to the weakness of the steel market in the past two trading days. The fundamentals have changed little, the actual demand is still weak, and although the steel inventory has peaked and declined, the apparent consumption growth rate of the five major varieties has slowed down. After the important meeting, the output of the five major varieties of steel increased by 18.85 tons week - on - week last week. This week, the molten iron output also continued to rise. In the short term, the steel market will still follow the cost. Attention should be paid to the price adjustment risk after the cost decline. [6][7] - **Iron Ore**: On Wednesday, the futures and spot prices of iron ore declined significantly. The decline in oil prices and the news related to iron ore negotiations led to the weakness of iron ore futures and spot prices. On the demand side, the daily average molten iron output of blast furnaces increased by 6.9 tons week - on - week, and the proportion of profitable steel mills is still around 42%, so the demand for iron ore is still resilient. On the supply side, the shipping and arrival volume of iron ore have both increased this week, and the problem of short - term supply - demand imbalance is gradually being resolved. It is expected that there is limited room for the ore price to continue to rise, and attention should be paid to the short - term adjustment risk after the decline of energy prices. [7] - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Wednesday, the spot and futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese declined. The decline in oil prices has weakened the expectation of rising coal prices. The price of silicon manganese 6517 in the northern market is 6050 - 6150 yuan/ton, and in the southern market is 6150 - 6250 yuan/ton. The manganese ore market quotation remains firm. The supply side shows that the national capacity utilization rate of 187 independent silicon manganese enterprises is 35.7%, an increase of 0.08% from last week; the daily average output is 27980 tons/day, a decrease of 225 tons. Currently, the start - up situation in the north is relatively stable, and factories are gradually hedging, with a good profit margin. The ex - factory price of 72 - grade silicon iron in the main production area is 5550 - 5650 yuan/ton, and the price of 75 - grade silicon iron is 5950 - 6100 yuan/ton. The steel procurement in March has basically ended, and the market is waiting for the entry situation in April. It is recommended to view the futures prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese with a bullish - biased and volatile mindset. [8] Non - ferrous and New Energy - **Copper**: According to current news, the US and Iran are indeed in negotiations, and the short - term situation has eased, with risk appetite rising. However, attention should be paid to the actual progress, which may bring significant fluctuations. The spot TC of copper is close to - 70 US dollars/ton, hitting a new low, but the profits from by - products such as sulfuric acid and precious metals have made up for the smelting profit. Coupled with the abundant supply of crude copper and the increase in scrap copper ingot imports, the growth rate of refined copper production is at a high level. The processing fee of southern crude copper is 1800 yuan/ton, a decrease of 600 yuan/ton from the previous high of 2400 yuan/ton, but still at a high level. The core contradiction in the fundamentals still lies in the mine end. It is a consensus in the market that copper mines are tight, but the probability of extreme shortage is not high. The domestic and foreign inventories have continued to accumulate, and the visible inventory of the three major exchanges is close to 1.29 million tons, reaching a record high. The copper price has dropped significantly, and downstream enterprises have replenished their stocks intensively at low prices, resulting in a significant decline in social copper inventory. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of inventory reduction. [9] - **Aluminum**: On Wednesday, the news of the negotiation between the US and Iran overnight stimulated the rise of risk appetite. The easing of the Middle - East situation is actually negative for aluminum, as the aluminum supply in the Middle - East will increase, so the rebound strength of aluminum is weaker than that of other non - ferrous metals. LME aluminum has fallen to the vicinity of the rising trend line. Attention should be paid to the effectiveness of the support. From January to February, the year - on - year increase in domestic primary aluminum production was relatively large, and the pattern of domestic weakness and foreign strength may change temporarily. From the import data, the import of domestic primary aluminum has remained at a high level; the import of scrap aluminum has decreased slightly, and the overseas supply of scrap aluminum is relatively tight. Currently, the domestic aluminum supply is rigid and remains at a high level, with a 3% year - on - year increase in production from January to February, and the previously shut - down production capacity will resume production later, so the supply pressure still exists. [10] - **Zinc**: Domestic zinc mines are mainly distributed in the south. With the resumption of work and production, the zinc ore processing fee in the southern region has rebounded from 1300 yuan/metal ton to 1500 yuan/metal ton, and the processing fee in the northern region has remained at 1500 yuan/metal ton. The TC of imported ore has decreased from 30 US dollars/dry ton to 20 US dollars/dry ton. The domestic smelting capacity is still expanding, and the profits from by - products have made up for the losses, so the domestic smelting output remains at a relatively high level. Overseas smelters cut production in 2025, but will resume production in 2026, with output increasing. The demand side is not optimistic. Real estate, infrastructure, transportation, and emerging fields such as photovoltaics are difficult to bring obvious boosts to photovoltaic demand, and may even decline. After the seasonal inventory accumulation of domestic zinc ingots, the inventory has turned to decline, reaching 219,600 tons, a decrease of 9,400 tons month - on - month, only slightly lower than the same period in 2022; the LME zinc inventory has increased to nearly 120,000 tons, which has increased significantly from the previous period. [10][11] - **Lead**: Due to the continuous opening of the import window from January to February, the imports of refined lead and crude lead in China have increased significantly in the first two months. Among them, the import of refined lead is 33,400 tons, a year - on - year increase of 732%; the import of crude lead is 25,200 tons, a year - on - year increase of 85%. The import of lead ingots will remain at a high level in March. Domestically, the production of primary lead and secondary lead has increased seasonally. The latest weekly production of primary lead is 57,100 tons, at a high level in recent years. The recovery speed of secondary lead production is similar to that of previous years, and currently, the finished product inventory of secondary lead is 13,800 tons, the highest level since 2020. On the demand side, the peak season has passed and is gradually entering the off - season. The trade - in policy has overdrawn the later demand. Due to the decline in price, downstream enterprises have replenished their stocks intensively at low prices, and the social inventory of domestic primary lead has decreased, dropping 17,000 tons from the high point to 63,100 tons, slightly lower than the same period last year. Although the LME lead inventory has not fluctuated much recently, it is still at the highest level in the same historical period in recent years, remaining above 280,000 tons. [11] - **Nickel**: On Wednesday, the Indonesian Ministry of Finance stated that if approved by the government, it will start levying a windfall profit tax on nickel from April 1st. Driven by this news, the nickel price has risen. The mine end is still the core contradiction at present. The RKAB quota of Indonesia in 2026 has dropped significantly to 260 million wet tons. Although there is still room for improvement later, the increase is expected to be limited, and the year - on - year decline compared with 2025 has basically been determined. Since the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources requires mining enterprises to use one - quarter of the "old quota" in the first quarter, mining enterprises will maintain normal production in the first quarter without a supply gap. In addition, the Middle - East conflict has led to a shortage of sulfur in Indonesia, affecting the production of MHP. In addition, the previous tailings accident has also led to enterprise production cuts, so the supply of MHP is at risk of decline. The nickel price still has support at the bottom, but the upside space is limited by the high domestic and foreign inventories. [12] - **Tin**: On the supply side, in the first two months, the import of tin ore from Myanmar was 13,501 tons, a year - on - year increase of 175%, and the monthly average level was similar to that in November and December last year. With the acceleration of pumping in the mines in Wa State, Myanmar, it is expected that the import volume will still have room for further growth; the import of tin ore from other sources is 21,444 tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of up to 57%, reflecting that the sources of tin ore imports in China are more diverse; the operating rate has slightly decreased by 0.42%, but it is still at a high level in the same period in recent years; due to the continuous closure of the import window, the import of tin ingots from January to February was 3,269 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 27%. On the demand side, in January 2026, the global semiconductor sales increased by 46% year - on - year, with the growth rate further expanding. However, other traditional and emerging industries have performed poorly. The automobile production from January to February decreased by 9.9% year - on - year, the photovoltaic module production decreased by 26% year - on - year, and the home appliance production plan has continued to decline. The industry is significantly differentiated, and the semiconductor alone cannot support the overall demand, which is generally poor. As the tin price has dropped significantly, downstream enterprises have replenished their stocks intensively at low prices, and the social inventory of tin ingots has decreased by 2,770 tons to 11,035 tons. [13] - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Wednesday, the main contract of lithium carbonate 2605 rose 4.34%, with the latest settlement price of 158,220 yuan/ton. The weighted contract increased its position by 2,016 lots, with a total position of 595,800 lots. The SMM quoted the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate at 152,500 yuan/ton (a month - on - month increase of 5,000 yuan), and the basis between futures and spot is - 5,480 yuan/ton. For lithium ore, the latest CIF price of Australian spodumene is 2,155 US dollars/ton (a month - on - month increase of 75 US dollars). The production profit of purchasing lithium mica is 6,289 yuan/ton, and the production profit of purchasing spodumene is 1,602 yuan/ton. The supply and demand of lithium carbonate are both strong, the social inventory is continuously decreasing, and the inventory of smelters is at a low level. The strong - reality situation continues, and the export ban in Zimbabwe may cause a short - term supply - demand mismatch. It is expected that lithium carbonate will fluctuate in the support position range, and it is advisable to make long positions at low prices. [14] - **Industrial Silicon**: On Wednesday, the main contract of industrial silicon 2605 rose 1.74%, with the latest settlement price of 8,685 yuan/ton. The weighted contract position is 370,100 lots, an increase of 20,576 lots. The price of East China oxygen - passing 553 is 9,200 yuan/ton (month - on - month unchanged), and the futures are at a discount of 430 yuan/ton. In the situation of weak supply and demand, overcapacity, and high - level inventory accumulation, industrial silicon is priced close to the cost. The cost side is driven by coking coal. Attention should be paid to the cost support at the bottom, and interval operations are recommended. [14][15] - **Polysilicon**: On Wednesday, the main contract of polysilicon 2605 rose 2.77%, with the latest settlement price of 36,555 yuan/ton. The weighted contract position is 50,700 lots

Semiconductor and Storage Stocks - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index increased by 1.21% to 7,967.74 points, indicating a strong performance in the semiconductor sector [5]. - In contrast, the storage sector experienced a downturn, with Western Digital falling by 1.63%, Seagate by 2.6%, and Micron Technology dropping over 3%. This decline was attributed to concerns over AI storage demand following Google's introduction of a new memory compression technology [7]. Chinese Stocks - Chinese assets saw a significant rally, with the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rising by 1.86% and the Wande Chinese Technology Leaders Index increasing by 1.93%. Notable individual stock performances included Meituan surging by 14.43% and JD.com by 8.30% [8][9]. Commodity Market - Precious metals continued their strong performance, with COMEX gold futures rising by 2.2% to approximately $4,530 per ounce and silver futures increasing by 2.6% to $70.41 per ounce.

Group 1 - Precious metals surged collectively as the situation in Iran showed signs of easing, leading to a weaker US dollar [1] - The US proposed a 15-point agreement to Iran aimed at ending hostilities, which includes commitments from Iran regarding nuclear weapons and the status of the Strait of Hormuz [1] - Iran stated that "non-hostile vessels" can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz with coordination from Iranian authorities [2] Group 2 - SpaceX plans to submit its IPO prospectus soon, aiming to raise over $75 billion, significantly higher than previous estimates of $50 billion [3] - The latest funding round valued SpaceX at $1.25 trillion, and if the IPO proceeds as planned, it will surpass the previous record set by Saudi Aramco [3] Group 3 - A-shares saw a significant rebound, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising by 1.30% to 3932 points, and the ChiNext Index leading with a 2.01% increase [10] - The total trading volume in the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing markets approached 2.2 trillion, an increase of nearly 100 billion from the previous day [6] - The market showed a clear "risk-off + growth" dual-driven pattern, with the precious metals sector leading the gains [10] Group 4 - The market is currently in a rebound phase, with the Shanghai Composite Index recovering approximately 3.1% from its low of 3813 points [12] - The fear index (GVIX) decreased from 23.83 to 20.69, indicating a partial recovery in market sentiment, though it remains elevated compared to normal levels [12] - The market is expected to consolidate around the 3900-point level, with potential for further gains if it can break above 3950 points [12] Group 5 - The external environment is shifting from "extreme tension" to "tense with easing," but uncertainties remain high, impacting A-shares' strength [13] - Domestic policies are maintaining a positive tone, with ongoing support for new industrial policies and a manageable outflow pressure from foreign capital [14] - The commercial space sector is entering a critical validation phase, with multiple rocket recovery tests planned for 2026, and SpaceX's IPO is expected to catalyze the global commercial space industry [14] Group 6 - Investment focus should be on three main lines: precious and non-ferrous metals, technology growth sectors like commercial space and AI computing, and opportunities in sectors that have seen significant corrections [15] - Precious metals are expected to have value regardless of the geopolitical situation, with potential for growth in both easing and prolonged conflict scenarios [15] - The commercial space sector is poised for growth due to SpaceX's IPO and advancements in satellite internet and rocket recovery technologies [15]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Affected by the easing of the Middle - East situation, global risk appetite continues to recover. In the short term, the domestic economy is better than expected, but due to the intertwined geopolitical news in the Middle - East, the stock index fluctuates weakly in the short term and the volatility intensifies. After the US released signals of easing and cease - fire, the domestic stock index market recovered. Attention should be paid to the changes in the Middle - East geopolitical situation, the implementation of policies after the Two Sessions, and the changes in market sentiment [2][3]. - Different asset classes have different trends. The stock index fluctuates weakly in the short term, and short - term cautious waiting is recommended; treasury bonds fluctuate in the short term, and cautious waiting is recommended; the black commodity sector rebounds in the short term, and short - term cautious waiting is recommended; the non - ferrous sector fluctuates weakly in the short term, and short - term cautious waiting is recommended; the energy and chemical sector fluctuates greatly in the short term, and cautious long - positions are recommended; precious metals fluctuate greatly and rebound in the short term, and short - term cautious waiting is recommended [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - finance - Overseas: Affected by new rumors of a cease - fire between the US and Iran, international oil prices declined in the short term, and the US dollar index and US bond yields declined but remained at relatively high levels. Global risk appetite increased overall. - Domestic: From January to February, China's economy rebounded beyond expectations, exports far exceeded expectations, and inflation continued to recover. The overall economic and inflation situation was better than expected. The government work report put forward the main expected development goals and fiscal and monetary policies for 2026, with the overall goals and policy intensity lower than in 2025 [2]. 3.2 Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as military equipment, electricity, and trade, the domestic stock market rebounded significantly. In the short term, due to the intertwined geopolitical news in the Middle - East, the stock index fluctuates weakly and the volatility intensifies. After the US released signals of easing and cease - fire, the domestic stock index market recovered. Short - term cautious waiting is recommended [3]. 3.3 Precious Metals - The precious metals market rebounded on Tuesday night. The main contract of Shanghai gold closed at 982.90 yuan/gram, up 0.37%; the main contract of Shanghai silver closed at 17,245 yuan/kilogram, up 1.93%. Spot gold ended a nine - day losing streak and rose 1.54% to 4,474.31 US dollars/ounce; spot silver rose 2.8% to 71.05 US dollars/ounce. Short - term cautious waiting is recommended [4]. 3.4 Black Metals - **Steel**: On Tuesday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets fluctuated weakly, and the trading volume was at a low level. The real demand is still weak, the steel inventory has peaked and declined, but the growth rate of the apparent consumption of the five major varieties has slowed down. After the important meeting, the output of the five major varieties of steel increased by 188,500 tons week - on - week, and the hot - metal output increased by nearly 69,000 tons. In the short term, the steel market will still follow the cost, and attention should be paid to the price adjustment risk after the cost drops [5][6]. - **Iron Ore**: On Tuesday, the futures and spot prices of iron ore rebounded slightly. The rebound in crude oil prices boosted the ore price. The demand for iron ore is still resilient, and the problem of short - term supply - demand mismatch is gradually alleviated. It is expected that the room for further price increase of ore is limited, and attention should be paid to the short - term adjustment risk after the energy price weakens [6]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Tuesday, the spot prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese rebounded; the futures prices showed a differentiated trend, with silicon iron being slightly stronger. The rebound in energy prices still supports the ferroalloy prices. The spot price of manganese ore remains firm. The disk prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese are recommended to be treated with a bullish - biased shock mindset [7]. 3.5 Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The market focus is on the Middle - East situation. The spot TC of copper is close to - 70 US dollars/ton, a new low. By - product revenues such as sulfuric acid and precious metals make up for the smelting profit. The refined copper production growth rate is at a high level. The core contradiction lies in the mine end, and the copper mine is generally considered to be in short supply, but the probability of extreme shortage is not high. The domestic and foreign inventories continue to accumulate, and the downstream replenished stocks intensively at low prices [8]. - **Aluminum**: On Tuesday, the risk appetite recovered, and Shanghai aluminum rebounded. The easing of the Middle - East situation is actually bearish for aluminum, and the supply of aluminum in the Middle - East will increase, so the rebound strength of aluminum is weaker than that of other non - ferrous metals. The LME aluminum has fallen near the rising trend line. The year - on - year increase in domestic primary aluminum production from January to February is relatively large, and the pattern of "domestic weakness and foreign strength" may change temporarily [9]. - **Zinc**: The zinc ore processing fees in the southern and northern regions of China have changed. The domestic smelting capacity is still expanding, and the by - product revenues make up for the losses. The overseas smelting plants will resume production in 2026. The demand is not optimistic, and the domestic zinc ingot inventory has decreased seasonally [9]. - **Lead**: From January to February, the imports of refined lead and crude lead in China increased significantly. The domestic production of primary lead and secondary lead has recovered seasonally. The demand peak season has passed, and it is gradually entering the off - season. The domestic social inventory of primary lead has decreased [10]. - **Nickel**: The core contradiction lies in the mine end. The RKAB quota in Indonesia in 2026 has dropped significantly to 260 million wet tons, and there is still room for improvement, but the decline compared with 2025 is basically a foregone conclusion. The supply of MHP is at risk of decline. The nickel price has support below, but the upside space is limited by high domestic and foreign inventories [11]. - **Tin**: The imports of tin ore from Myanmar and other sources have increased. The demand is not good overall, and the industry is significantly differentiated. The social inventory of tin ingots has decreased, while the LME inventory has increased [12]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Tuesday, the main contract of lithium carbonate rose 6.11%. The supply and demand of lithium carbonate are both strong, and the social inventory is continuously decreasing. It is expected to fluctuate in the support range, and long - positions can be established at low prices [13]. - **Industrial Silicon**: On Tuesday, the main contract of industrial silicon rose 0.17%. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, over - capacity, and high - level inventory accumulation, industrial silicon is priced close to the cost. Attention should be paid to the cost support below, and range - bound operations are recommended [13]. - **Polysilicon**: On Tuesday, the main contract of polysilicon fell 3.17%. The polysilicon inventory continues to accumulate at a high level, and the spot price is falling. It is expected that the price will fluctuate weakly, and short - positions should be held cautiously or profits should be taken in a timely manner [14][15]. 3.6 Energy and Chemicals - **Methanol**: The methanol spot price index is 2676.38, up 32.04. The supply has tightened, and the supply - demand fundamentals have been repaired. The methanol price is still firm, but attention should be paid to the marginal changes brought about by geopolitical easing and downstream negative feedback [16]. - **PP**: The domestic polypropylene parking rate has increased, the upstream supply has shrunk, and the downstream demand has increased. The spot market shows signs of tightness, and it is expected that the market will maintain a strong pattern. The biggest uncertainty lies in the navigation situation in the Strait of Hormuz [16]. - **LLDPE**: The supply has decreased, the demand has increased, and the inventory has been depleted rapidly. It is expected that polyethylene will continue to run strongly, and geopolitical dynamics are the key variables affecting external supply [17]. - **Urea**: The supply has decreased slightly, and the demand shows a pattern of "weak agricultural demand and strong industrial demand". The policy guides the market, and the urea price is expected to maintain a narrow - range fluctuation [18]. 3.7 Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The stability of Sino - US soybean trade relations has been disturbed, and the export and sales data of high - priced US soybeans have deteriorated. The US biodiesel policy will be finalized soon, and the trading sentiment of US soybean oil is cautious [20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The inventory of soybeans and soybean meal is decreasing rapidly, supporting the soybean meal basis. The supply of rapeseed meal is increasing, and it will adjust with soybean meal in the short term [20]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: The domestic soybean oil inventory is decreasing rapidly, supporting the basis. The supply of rapeseed oil may increase, and it will be under pressure with soybean and palm oil [21]. - **Palm Oil**: The international crude oil is oscillating at a high level, and the support for vegetable oils from crude oil risk has weakened. The export of Malaysian palm oil has increased, and the production has decreased. The domestic palm oil import is slow, and the market trading is light [21]. - **Corn**: The corn price is adjusting within a narrow range. The sales progress of corn in the production areas has slowed down, and the inventory in ports and deep - processing enterprises is low. The acceptance of high - priced corn by downstream feed enterprises has decreased, and the possible rice bran auction in early April may have a negative impact on the corn price [22]. - **Pigs**: The pig production capacity is in the pain period of adjustment, the demand is improving marginally but is still in the off - season. The industry's production capacity reduction expectation is increasing. It is expected that the short - term futures and spot prices may continue to fall, and there are still risks in the futures market [22].

Investment Strategies - Holding cash or being heavily invested in oil may not be the best strategy, as the recent fluctuations in oil prices are influenced by geopolitical communications rather than just conflict developments [8]. - The article suggests that relying on short-term information and trading based on tweets or news can be risky, as market reactions often occur before individual investors can respond [9]. Historical Context - The article draws parallels to the early pandemic period when panic selling occurred, leading to significant market volatility. However, those who invested in various assets during that time have generally seen positive returns [11]. Current Investment Recommendations - Investors are advised to control their buying pace and consider dollar-cost averaging to accumulate positions gradually, which can help lower costs over time [12][13]. - The article highlights the importance of asset allocation strategies, particularly during periods of high correlation among different asset classes, which can lead to synchronized declines [15].
