What's driving the optimism?
CICC released a research report stating that investor confidence in the A-share market has shown signs of recovery since July 20. The construction of a capital market with Chinese characteristics and market stabilization mechanisms have played a crucial role. Given the current domestic and international environment and the development of China's capital market, the recovery trend that began on July 20 is expected to continue. In the medium term, the volatile upward trajectory of the A-share market since September 24 remains unchanged.
CITIC Securities pointed out that the market in early August is in a phase of oversold rebound. Stocks with larger prior declines show greater elasticity. Currently, the year-to-date returns for sectors like non-ferrous metals, chemicals, non-bank finance, and electrical equipment remain below their theoretical midpoints. Using holding costs, margin call liquidation, and congestion levels as quantitative indicators, the repair progress of popular sectors was assessed. From a holding cost perspective, floating losses are concentrated in tech growth and small-cap stocks, which require further digestion. From a margin call perspective, the liquidation progress for this round's leading sectors has passed the halfway mark. From a congestion perspective, trading enthusiasm in the tech sector has not yet cooled down. Overall, sectors like electronics, non-ferrous metals, innovative drugs, and non-bank finance are repairing faster, while chemicals, electrical equipment, and communications are lagging.
In terms of allocation, technology holdings are increasingly concentrating on core assets. In the non-tech sector, investors are increasing exposure to energy & chemicals, non-ferrous metals, innovative drugs, and leading brokerages.
