1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, domestic liquidity is expected to remain loose, and it is in a policy window period. More incremental policies may be introduced in the second half of the year to boost the real economy. External risks are gradually easing, and the increasing probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September further enhances the attractiveness of RMB assets [2]. - The current market is in a resonance period of "policy bottom + capital bottom + valuation bottom", but investors need to adapt to the accelerating sector rotation and structural differentiation. The CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices, which have more technology - growth components, are more offensive, with larger fluctuations but potentially higher returns. The SSE 50 and CSI 300 indices, which have more dividend - blue - chip components, are more defensive, with smaller fluctuations but relatively weaker price elasticity [2]. - Since July, the stock index has been rising continuously with a large increase. There are signs of short - term adjustment, but the probability of the medium - and long - term market continuation is high [2]. 3.
