Therefore, it continues to recommend that investors maintain a cautious attitude and reduce trading frequency during times of high noise information. In terms of allocation, aside from the energy, new energy, and power chains that have already formed a consensus in the market, it is suggested to reallocate positions along the lines of internal and external demand rebalancing. For external demand, reduce exposure to sectors with significant exposure to external demand, especially in the European and Asian markets for discretionary consumption; maintain allocations in sectors where external demand is not declining but rather increasing, mainly in the midstream manufacturing and broad energy chain where China has industrial advantages. For internal demand, which previously had lower congestion, it may be more resilient than external demand. Recent high-frequency data in real estate shows marginal improvement, and after the earnings season, profit downgrades and clearing of chips are in place. It is advisable to moderately increase allocations in essential consumption, service consumption alpha opportunities, and internet consumption with improving pressures. Innovative drugs, which are relatively independent of macroeconomic logic and economic upturns, represent more alpha opportunities. Local Hong Kong stocks still offer cost-effective foundational investments. CITIC Construction Investment: The component structure of the Hong Kong stock asset pool is undergoing fundamental optimization CITIC Construction Investment's research report states that in the short term, the strong dollar environment combined with controversies in AI applications has led some internet companies to downgrade their performance due to the "food delivery war," resulting in continued adjustments in the Hong Kong stock market. Since March, against the backdrop of escalating Middle Eastern tensions, global funds have entered "risk-off mode," leading to a decline in global market risk appetite and a significant impact on equity markets, compounded by concerns over rising energy prices triggering "secondary inflation," putting direct pressure on Hong Kong stocks as offshore risk assets. In the medium to long term, since the second half of 2025, the weighted RMB exchange rate index has continued to strengthen, reflecting a trend of RMB appreciation. Against the backdrop of differentiated growth momentum among major global economies, the resilience of the Chinese economy's fundamentals is gradually becoming evident, and RMB assets are transitioning from "valuation lowlands" to "growth highlands," which is expected to continuously enhance their attractiveness to global funds. Additionally, many high-quality A-share companies with new productive characteristics and leading firms in their segments are listing in Hong Kong, fundamentally optimizing the component structure of the Hong Kong stock asset pool The listing of high-quality assets is expected to attract global funds to increase their allocation to Hong Kong stock assets ### Related Stocks - [GDXJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXJ.US.md) - [82824.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/82824.HK.md) - [IAU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IAU.US.md) - [GDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDX.US.md) - [GLDM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLDM.US.md) - [02068.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02068.HK.md) - [601068.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/601068.CN.md) - [RING.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RING.US.md) - [600988.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600988.CN.md) - [06693.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/06693.HK.md) - [SGOL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGOL.US.md) - [GOAU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOAU.US.md) - [159562.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159562.CN.md) - [JNUG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JNUG.US.md) - [02824.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02824.HK.md) - [518850.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/518850.CN.md) - [GOEX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOEX.US.md) - [GDXU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXU.US.md) - [SGDJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SGDJ.US.md) - [09824.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09824.HK.md) - [UGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UGL.US.md) - [GDXW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDXW.US.md) - [NUGT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NUGT.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [$1000 Invested In SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286819467.md) - [J.
