Currently, it is in the main rising wave [5]. - The stock market has multiple positive effects such as promoting economic transformation, stimulating economic growth, improving the corporate financing environment, alleviating debt pressure, and enhancing international competitiveness [82]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Why the Current Bull Market Started in Early 2024 - In February 2024, the market completed the bear - to - bull conversion, which is also the case for other indexes [7]. 3.2 Driving Forces of the Bull Market 3.2.1 Macroeconomic Policy and Cyclical Recovery Expectations - The macro - economy is under pressure and requires loose support policies. However, there are positive signals due to industrial chain advantages and key technological breakthroughs [9]. - Fixed - asset investment growth has continued to decline, and the decline accelerated in Q3 and Q4 of 2025, turning negative for the whole year. Manufacturing growth is only slight [10][12]. - The growth of total retail sales of consumer goods has slowed down, and consumer confidence remains low. This is due to weakened income and income expectations, high household leverage, and the need for preventive savings [14][17]. - Inflation is persistently weak. The consumption structure shows a pattern of "strong at both ends and weak in the middle". For PPI, the downward pressure on production material prices is more obvious [19][24]. - Manufacturing PMI has been weak, with环比 data lower than seasonal levels, rising ex - factory prices, a decline in raw material inventory possibly due to active de - stocking, rising raw material purchase prices, and weak new and on - hand orders [25][29]. - Fiscal policy is loose. The government has room to increase leverage, and the average maturity of local government bonds has been lengthening [30][32]. - The money market is loose. The 7 - day reverse repurchase rate has remained low, and there is still room for further decline in interest rates. The adjustment of treasury bond futures indicates a change in market expectations [34][36]. - The Fed's interest rate cuts provide room and necessity for domestic interest rate cuts. The Fed has cut rates by 25 basis points and is expected to cut twice more this year. Domestic commercial banks have lowered deposit rates, and the real domestic interest rate is high [37][39]. - Exports show strong resilience, but exports to the US have declined significantly. China's share of global exports remains stable, and new "new three items" are emerging as new drivers of foreign trade [40][45]. - In the chip industry, the effect of import substitution is emerging, and the export growth rate is much higher than the import growth rate. A complete domestic chip industry chain is rising [49]. - The production, sales, and exports of automobiles are expected to reach new highs this year, and the export volume has exceeded the sum of Germany and Japan [50][53]. - The increase in excavator production and sales is mainly due to the low - base effect and still has a large gap compared with the peak [58]. - The real estate market is in the bottom - building process, with a decline in housing prices. The real estate market will have a lower correlation with the macro - economy in the future, and there is a possibility of a retaliatory rise in housing prices [60]. 3.2.2 Increase in Corporate Profit Growth - The profit growth rate of industrial enterprises above a designated size has rebounded. In 2025, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of total profits turned positive. The profit of listed companies in the A - share market has also returned to growth, and the scope of profit improvement is gradually expanding [62]. 3.2.3 Re - allocation of Household Savings to the Stock Market - Household deposits are likely to continue to rise, and the ratio of the total stock market value to household deposits is still low, indicating great potential for households to allocate more assets to the stock market [64]. 3.2.4 Return of Global Capital - Global investors plan to increase their investment in China - focused hedge funds in 2026. The net proportion of investors planning to increase investment has reached 14%, higher than the 9% in 2025. At the same time, investors' interest in the North American market has declined significantly [65]. - The US dollar has entered a downward trend, and bank settlement and sales of foreign exchange have turned into a surplus, which may be due to the inflow of overseas hot money. When the settlement and sales of foreign exchange turn into a surplus, the overall trend of the A - share market is usually strong [67][71]. 3.2.5 Inflow of Long - term Funds - A series of policies have been introduced to encourage long - term funds to enter the market. In 2025, the scale of long - term capital entering the market increased significantly, and the investor structure was continuously optimized [75][76]. 3.2.6 Further Advancement of Market Value Management Reform - National - level and state - owned enterprise - specific policies have been introduced to promote market value management. The policy goals include increasing the total market value, repurchase amount, and cash dividend ratio, and improving the equity incentive coverage rate [77][78]. 3.3 Index Valuation - The valuations of the SSE 50 and CSI 300 indexes are not high, while the valuations of the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indexes are at high levels. This is mainly because the macro - economy is still in the bottom - building process, and the low - interest - rate environment is more favorable to technology stocks [104]. - From a technical perspective, the index has emerged from a large bottom shock and is currently in the main rising wave. If the index continues to rise without an improvement in performance, it may trigger a deep correction. This bull market may experience three stages: confidence improvement and valuation increase, performance improvement, and a crazy bull market driven by retail investors [104]. 3.4 Seasonal Patterns of the A - share Market - The A - share market has seasonal patterns such as "poor in May, dismal in June, and a rebound in July". At the end of the year or the beginning of the next year, the style may shift. After the style shift, the market may continue to rise around the Spring Festival. In the late stage of the medium - term bull market, investors can switch from CSI 500 and CSI 1000 index futures to SSE 50 and CSI 300 index futures. After the medium - term market adjustment ends, they can first go long on CSI 500 and CSI 1000 index futures [105].
