Before the conflict's trajectory becomes clear, combined with the tightening global liquidity environment brought about by rising inflation expectations, the global equity market is likely to continue exhibiting high volatility, with A-shares primarily undergoing oscillatory digestion. However, under external uncertainties, domestic certainty advantages are highlighted, strongly supporting the resilience of the A-share market. The main lines of energy security, self-control, and industrial upgrading are clear, possessing stronger defensive attributes and cost-effectiveness for allocation. As annual and quarterly reports are disclosed, sectors with high performance certainty and continuously improving prosperity will become the core focus of capital. In terms of allocation, the medium to long term still favors the dual main lines of technology sector industrial drive and cyclical sector price increase clues. According to Guan Tao, the global chief economist of Bank of China Securities, global central banks are caught in a dilemma between "stabilizing growth" and "controlling inflation." "From the perspective of financial asset pricing, the current global asset prices are mainly priced against inflation shocks, while ignoring the impact of high energy costs on economic growth. If the market shifts to a recession trade later, the safe-haven allocation value of bonds will become prominent, equity assets will face profit revision pressure, and commodity prices will be under pressure due to shrinking demand," Guan said. Cao Liulong, chief strategy analyst at Western Securities, believes that investment in the technology sector is an inevitable trend, but after experiencing sustained gains, merely having a "concept narrative" may not be enough to impress investors, who will raise their demands for improvements in the fundamentals of technology companies and their ability to generate "real money" income. "The long-term nature of the conflict will export 'stagflation-type' institutional costs globally. For asset pricing, this means that the valuation models based on low interest rates, globalization, and efficiency that have prevailed over the past twenty years are undergoing systematic re-evaluation," said Tian Lihui, director of the Financial Development Research Institute at Nankai University. "The core advantage of Chinese assets in the current global turmoil lies in their provision of 'dislocated space' in the macro cycle and 'certainty anchor points' at the institutional level." Tian Lihui stated that when major Western economies are deeply mired in the dilemma of combating inflation and recession, China possesses an independent monetary policy cycle and a more relaxed fiscal stimulus space, which allows Chinese assets to avoid extreme suppression from the global high interest rate environment Wang Han, Chief Economist of Industrial Securities and Co-Director of the Institute of Economic and Financial Research, stated that for asset allocation in the second quarter, strategically, the A-shares should not be overly pessimistic, as there is clear support. Tactically, it is necessary to face the intensifying market volatility and adhere to a contrarian operation approach. The capital market inherently dislikes risk, and A-shares are particularly sensitive to this. Huatai Securities indicated that looking ahead, there are external geopolitical variables and internal "pre-holiday effects" suppressing trading activity, which puts pressure on trading volume. However, from a cross-month perspective, as A-shares enter a period of intensive earnings disclosures in April, the market's pricing anchor is expected to gradually penetrate emotional disturbances and return to fundamental verification. In terms of allocation, it is recommended to moderately focus on coal, electricity chains, and chemical raw materials that may benefit from high oil prices and have pricing power, while using low-level essential consumer goods as a base ### Related Stocks - [588080.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/588080.CN.md) - [588050.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/588050.CN.md) - [588060.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/588060.CN.md) - [588000.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/588000.CN.md) - [000001.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000001.CN.md) - [000688.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000688.CN.md) - [510050.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510050.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [China April Retail Sales +0.2% y/y (exp 2%) & Industrial Prduction +4.1% y/y (exp 5.9%)](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286699672.md) - [China economy slows sharply as investment returns to contraction](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286707036.md) - [China's property investment extends decline in January-April](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286699189.md) - [China new home prices fall at slowest monthly pace in a year in April](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286697169.md) - [Defence Therapeutics Enhances In-House ADC Development Platform with Expanded Analytical and Cellular Testing Capabilities | DTCFF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286870222.md)
