1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - In Q1 2026, the global capital market showed core characteristics of global differentiation, technology re - evaluation, and policy disturbances. The Fed released a hawkish signal of "higher for longer", the interest - rate cut expectation was revised down, and the surge in US bond yields and Middle - East geopolitical risks led to tightened global liquidity and reduced risk appetite. In Q2, as the first - quarter earnings reports are intensively disclosed, the market logic will shift from "speculating on expectations" to "seeing the realization". Assets with this shift will have stronger defensive attributes, and market volatility may remain high under external uncertainties. High - valuation growth stocks, especially those in the technology and growth sectors, face continuous pressure from rising risk - free rates and denominator compression, and only performance exceeding expectations can support their valuations, while low - valuation, high - dividend, and cash - flow - stable stocks are more favorable [2] 3.
