Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article is to maintain a tactical asset allocation strategy, recommending an overweight position in A/H shares and industrial metals, a market weight in government bonds, and an underweight position in the US dollar [1][2]. Group 2 - Multiple factors support the performance of Chinese equities, with a tactical overweight view on A/H shares. The significant pressure on global risk appetite has led to increased asset volatility and panic selling, releasing micro trading risks. As the importance of economic growth at the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan increases and the policy window approaches, the market is expected to establish new expectations. The regulatory authorities show strong determination and action plans to stabilize the capital market. Factors that previously caused valuation discounts in the stock market have dissipated, and with tail risks decreasing and the stabilization of RMB assets, the Chinese capital market is in a cycle of valuation recovery and significant development, with considerable upside potential remaining [1]. - The demand for financing and the supply of credit remain unbalanced, leading to a tactical market weight view on government bonds.

The Federal Reserve's adjustment of monetary policy guidance and the marginal convergence of the US economy have reduced the allocation value of the dollar compared to other currencies. However, the phase of de-dollarization trading has slowed down, and a weak dollar is not necessarily on a continuous downward trend. The dollar has a lower risk-return profile compared to other major asset classes [2].
