Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current market is at a moment of heavy divergence. The ChiNext Index has rebounded and hit a new high this week, while overseas liquidity shocks are accelerating. The A - share market is also discussing issues such as "who is the marginal seller" and the potential "redemption - selling - redemption" negative feedback [1][4] - Seasonal effects are not the reason for the decline but help clear risks. The pressure on the liability side from the liquidity shock has been gradually digested in the past two weeks and may be nearing the end [1][5] - Sentiment indicators show that the market is close to the "extreme panic" level, and the smooth passing of the "end - of - the - world options" day implies a high probability of a market reversal [1][6] - Chinese assets have shown strong resilience. A - shares and Hong Kong stocks have smaller declines compared to global markets, and foreign capital is actively increasing its positions in A - shares [1][8] - After the liquidity shock eases, the leading sectors in the A - share market are divided into two categories: hot sectors supported by industrial trends or policy benefits, and liquidity - sensitive elastic sectors [1][14] - The current is a window period for bottom confirmation, and the main lines of the rebound after the shock are becoming clear, including "wrongly - killed" elastic sectors, energy - substitution sectors, and sectors benefiting from rising oil prices [1][22] 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents Introduction: Believe in the Long - Term or Worry about the Short - Term - This week, the market was volatile. The ChiNext Index rose 1.3% and the Shanghai Composite Index fell 3.4%. Globally, except for oil, risk and safe - haven assets declined. The A - share market discussed issues like "who is the marginal seller" and the "redemption - selling - redemption" negative feedback [4] - The seasonal effect promotes risk clearance. The pressure on the liability side from the liquidity shock has been digested, and the yields of various funds this year are better than those in 2025 [5] - Sentiment indicators show that the market is in an "extreme panic" state [6] I. Value the Resilience of Chinese Assets under Liquidity Shocks - Since the Iran - US conflict, global assets have declined, but Chinese assets have advantages. A - shares and Hong Kong stocks have smaller declines, and Hong Kong stocks rebounded first on March 6, followed by the ChiNext Index [8] - Northbound funds are flowing into A - shares. Their trading volume ratio has increased, and they have become an important marginal pricing force. Northbound heavy - position stocks and the 20 most actively traded stocks have shown significant excess returns [9][11] III. "End - of - the - World Options" Usually Accompany Excessive Emotional Release, with a High Probability of Subsequent Reversal - The options expiration day is an important time for emotional release. After the stock index futures and options expiration day, the probability of a market reversal is high, with a trend reversal probability of over 71% [13] IV. Learn from History: Which Sectors Have the Strongest Recovery Ability after the Shock Eases - After the shocks in March 2020 and April 2025, the leading sectors in the A - share market can be divided into two categories: hot sectors with industrial trends or policy support, and liquidity - sensitive elastic sectors [14] - In March 2020, the main line of the A - share rebound was the consumer sector and cyclical + technology elastic sectors [14] - In April 2025, after the "reciprocal tariff" shock, the leading sectors included electronics, computer, communication, and other sectors, and the rebound amplitude of other sectors was positively correlated with valuation elasticity and previous declines [16] V. Main Lines after Risk Release: Who is "Wrongly - Killed" and Who is "Benefiting" - During this round of liquidity shock, the decline of A - share sectors is negatively correlated with valuation elasticity [18] - The AI hardware industry chain has been "wrongly - killed" and has strong support. If oil prices remain high, energy - substitution sectors such as coal, coal chemical industry, and power will benefit. However, new - energy vehicles and electrolytic aluminum have weak performance, possibly due to deflation concerns [20] - The industry layout ideas are: "wrongly - killed" elastic sectors such as the AI hardware industry chain; energy - substitution sectors such as power, wind power, energy storage, and electrolytic aluminum if oil prices fluctuate at a high level; and coal and coal chemical industries if oil prices rise further [22]
