Key Developments
First, a major US media outlet reported that US-Iran negotiations are back on track. Last night, due to Israel's ongoing military actions in Lebanon, Iran suspended communication with the US and planned to completely blockade the Strait of Hormuz while initiating actions on other fronts like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Today, according to a regional source familiar with the negotiations, talks have returned to the normal path. The US President stated today that he has spoken with Israeli officials and that negotiations with Iran are "progressing rapidly."
Second, NVIDIA announced multiple new products and platforms. At the GTC conference, NVIDIA unveiled a range of new offerings, including the AI Agent custom CPU Vera, the new AI model Nemotron 3 Ultra, the AI factory platform DSX, and the RTX Spark super chip for personal PCs. NVIDIA's founder and CEO announced that the next-generation AI computing platform, Vera Rubin, has entered full-scale production, marking the arrival of the Agentic AI era. NVIDIA will also collaborate with global humanoid robot manufacturers like Unitree Robotics on robot development.
Third, Unitree Robotics' IPO application for the STAR Market has been approved, with plans to raise 4.202 billion yuan. As a leading global humanoid robot company, Unitree Robotics' process from IPO application acceptance on March 20 to approval on June 1 took only 73 days. It is poised to become the first A-share company with humanoid robot whole machines as its main business.
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, the environment remains favorable for allocating to technology and growth sectors. This is supported by positive external factors such as resonance in global tech industry highlights, the diminishing impact of geopolitical conflicts, and the upcoming US President's visit to China. Regarding recent market concerns about high concentration, the current situation appears to be more of a "structural overheating" rather than the primary contradiction constraining the broader tech and growth trend. However, after significant consensus has accumulated in some strong sectors, initially showing structural overheating, concentration levels are likely to become the main factor influencing internal sector structure.
In terms of structure, expansion should follow the dual themes of AI and overseas expansion. On one hand, during the window of resonance in US-China tech industry trends, continue to expand along the directions benefiting from the AI wave. On the other hand, following the global supply contraction caused by overseas geopolitical conflicts, the export competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing is becoming increasingly evident. This is expected to be a highlight in the domestic macroeconomic landscape for the coming period and potentially the entire year. The diffusion of the tech and growth theme to lower-positioned export chains warrants continuous attention.
Today's discussion topic focuses on the humanoid robot industry chain, which has seen another significant collaboration, boosting market attention. Which area do you favor more: core components, whole machine manufacturing, or AI algorithms? Feel free to share your perspective.
