1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The recent escalation of the US-Iran conflict has led the global capital market to enter a phase of geopolitical risk repricing. Different durations of military conflicts have different impacts on major asset classes. Short - term conflicts cause a pulse - like increase in volatility, medium - term regional wars lead to supply shortages and trend - like movements in safe - haven assets, and long - term confrontations have far - reaching impacts on the global economy. For A - shares, short - term impacts are mainly through risk - preference and sentiment, while in the medium and long term, A - shares are still mainly driven by their own logic [5][8] - Short - term, the escalation of the US - Iran conflict may cause short - term shocks to A - shares, with defensive sectors strengthening and high - elasticity sectors correcting. Medium - term, the core variable is whether the conflict affects the Strait of Hormuz, leading to structural differentiation. Long - term, external geopolitical disturbances will not change the trend of A - shares returning to the domestic economic fundamentals, but will strengthen the allocation consensus on long - term investment themes [8] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Review - **Market Performance**: Last week, most major market indices declined, with the Shanghai Composite Index performing relatively well, down 0.93% week - on - week. Among major industry indices, the energy and public utility indices performed well, up 7.38% and 3.44% respectively, while the telecommunications service and information technology indices were weak, down 5.23% and 4.35% respectively. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 6 industries rose, with the petroleum and petrochemical, coal, and public utility industries rising 8.06%, 3.79%, and 3.42% respectively. The media, non - ferrous metals, and computer industries fell 6.97%, 5.47%, and 5.29% respectively [9][16][18] - **Trading Heat**: The average daily trading volume of the Wind All - A Index last week was 26446.19 billion yuan (previous value was 24402.93 billion yuan), at a relatively high historical level (96.70% of the three - year historical quantile) [21] - **Valuation Tracking**: As of March 6, 2026, the valuation (PE_TTM) of the Wind All - A Index was 23.43, down 0.28 from last week, at the 98.90% quantile of the past 5 years. Among the 30 Shenwan primary industries, 6 industries' valuations (PE_TTM) recovered [25] Market Observation - **How Major Asset Classes May Evolve After Geopolitical Conflicts**: Short - term conflicts (within one month) lead to a pulse - like increase in major asset volatility, with "safe - haven trading" as the main theme. For example, after the 2019 attack on Saudi Aramco's facilities, the Brent crude oil price rose sharply but quickly returned to fundamental pricing. Safe - haven trading was mainly focused on the US dollar rather than gold. If the conflict turns into a regional war lasting more than two months, the supply gap in the crude oil market will be persistent, and safe - haven assets will show a trend - like performance. For example, during the 2011 Libyan civil war, the oil price rose significantly, and gold and US Treasury bond prices increased for more than half a year. When the conflict becomes a long - term confrontation lasting several years, it will have a profound impact on the global economy. For example, after the Russia - Ukraine conflict entered the long - term stage in the second half of 2022, it led to European energy - supply structure adjustments. For A - shares, short - term impacts are mainly through risk - preference and sentiment, while in the medium and long term, A - shares are mainly driven by their own logic [5][8] - **Investment Recommendations**: Short - term, the escalation of the US - Iran conflict may cause short - term shocks to A - shares, with defensive sectors strengthening and high - elasticity sectors correcting. Beneficial assets include crude oil and natural gas. Medium - term, the core variable is whether the conflict affects the Strait of Hormuz, leading to structural differentiation. Beneficial assets include shipping, public utilities, and military industries. Long - term, external geopolitical disturbances will not change the trend of A - shares returning to the domestic economic fundamentals, but will strengthen the allocation consensus on long - term investment themes such as domestic substitution, national security, and industrial upgrading [8]
