From the perspective of international intermediaries, foreign capital may have continued the outflow trend from the beginning of the year in the past two months. On one hand, hedge funds may have seen a temporary inflow from late April to mid-May, but the persistently low Hibor rates have driven flexible funds to increase their positions in USD assets through arbitrage trading. On the other hand, according to EPFR data, long-term funds represented by overseas active equity funds continue to experience outflows.

In terms of industry, the main directions for recent capital increases are internet, automotive, new consumption, and innovative pharmaceuticals, while dividend sectors such as finance and energy have seen significant reductions. According to estimates, from April 8 to June 9, funds mainly increased their positions in software services, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, automotive, professional retail (Alibaba + Meituan), and industrial engineering, while experiencing net outflows in banking, other financials, oil and gas, insurance, and general metals and minerals.

<ul>
<li>
Southbound funds have net inflows in innovative pharmaceuticals, professional retail, telecommunications, banking, and oil and gas sectors, while significantly reducing positions in software services and information technology equipment;
