1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The US-Iran geopolitical risk eases, leading to the rebound of the stock index, with the communication sector leading the rise and the petrochemical sector leading the fall. The market turnover is 2.42 trillion yuan. From March onwards, as listed companies gradually disclose their annual and first - quarter reports, the market will shift from being "expectation - driven" to "profit - driven", entering the "selecting alpha" stage. Stocks without performance support may remain weak, while policy - beneficiary and performance - improving sectors may have sustainable opportunities. In the long run, the stock index trend will return to the domestic fundamentals and policies, and is expected to resume an upward trend in shock after the geopolitical risk eases. [2] 3.
