A-Share Market Rises on Reduced Volume; Institutions Suggest Focusing on Two Major Themes

On April 7, the A-share market rebounded on reduced volume. Multiple sectors including rare earths, coal, the hog industry, and phosphorus chemicals were active, with the STAR Market Composite Index rising nearly 1%. Analysts believe that before external uncertainties are resolved, the market remains in a volatile period. Late April will become a critical window for marginal improvements in both domestic and international environments. After external shocks subside, the market focus in mid-to-late April will shift toward sectors with high growth in first-quarter earnings. Attention should be paid to growth and energy themes.
