The regulatory focus is on cultivating "patient capital" and increasing the participation of insurance and pension funds in the market, aiming to solidify the foundation for a slow bull market.

Economic Fundamentals - In January, the manufacturing PMI fell to 49.3%, and the non-manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.4%, both below the expansion threshold, indicating a marginal decline in domestic demand. However, improvements in prices and sustained high growth in new economic drivers were noted. The purchasing price index and the factory price index rose to 56.1% and 50.6% respectively, indicating overall price improvement in the manufacturing market, which is expected to narrow the PPI decline further. The high-tech manufacturing PMI remained above 52.0% for two consecutive months, reflecting sustained high growth in new economic drivers, while traditional sectors like consumer goods and high-energy industries showed marginal declines [3][4]. Capital Market Policies - The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is committed to consolidating the positive momentum in the capital market and is intensifying efforts to cultivate patient capital and promote medium- to long-term capital inflows.

As of the end of 2025, various types of medium- to long-term capital held A-share circulating market value reached 23 trillion yuan, a 36% increase from the beginning of the year. Looking ahead to 2026, under the policy framework focused on stability, the regulatory authorities will continue to promote the increase in the scale of medium- to long-term capital entering the market [4][5]. Micro Liquidity - Since the beginning of the year, there has been a large-scale redemption of stock ETFs, with a cumulative net redemption of 792.2 billion yuan, primarily concentrated in broad-based ETFs like CSI 300 and Shanghai 50. Despite this, the A-share market remains active, with trading volumes around 3 trillion yuan. Financing funds saw a net inflow of 16.1 billion yuan this week, indicating strong support for high-growth sectors. Although the A-share market has shown signs of temporary adjustment, there is still ample space and opportunities compared to previous bull markets.
