Key sectors like optical modules and PCB are undergoing high-level adjustments, while other sectors lack sustained support [2][9][12]. - The report emphasizes that despite favorable macro factors, such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut and positive communication between US and Chinese leaders, the market struggles to find a new leading sector following the decline of the Nvidia supply chain. Sectors like chips, solid-state batteries, and robotics are only showing temporary strength [3][12][13]. - The report suggests a "barbell strategy" for A-share allocation, recommending to maintain positions in relatively strong sectors like chips and robotics while managing risk through defensive investments in dividend stocks that have undergone sufficient adjustments [5][14].
