<h3>CITIC Securities Strategy Analyst Chen Guo: The Current Tech Rally is Expected to Have Room for Further Development</h3>
<p>Currently, domestic demand is starting off steadily, external demand disturbances are limited, and factors such as a clear growth stabilization direction, real estate gradually emerging from a demand freeze, and policies promoting incremental capital entering the market support the mid-term market's continued upward trend. The recent gains in the tech sector have been considerable, and some thematic directions show signs of overheating in short-term trading indicators. However, compared to the fundamental logic of 2023, this tech rally is expected to have room for further development, with the valuation centers and upper limits of a number of representative companies, including Hong Kong tech giants, justifiably higher than in the past two years, while specific developments within the tech mainline may experience some rotation.</p>
