From last night's asset performance, U.S. stocks rebounded during the day, crude oil plummeted, and the VIX index surged and then fell back. We believe that a TACO trading window is opening in the short term. The positive mindset is shifting to actual positive actions. However, there are still uncertainties ahead; the high VIX indicates that the market has not fully priced in the end of the conflict, and position management needs to be done. In terms of allocation, the A-share market on Wednesday, April 1, can serve as a rehearsal for TACO trading, focusing on the following two directions: The first group is those that have previously been oversold. Statistics show that the industries with the largest declines in March include: TMT, non-ferrous metals, steel and building materials, and machinery and equipment. These are the main lines of the spring market cycle + technology, and they also benefit from the reversal of interest rate cut expectations. Machinery and equipment are driven by external demand. The second group is those that are less correlated with low oil prices + independent prosperity cycles, such as AI chains and innovative drugs. From a medium-term perspective, the war has exposed issues of energy security, and we should continue to pay attention to the power chain, as short-term adjustments may present layout opportunities. Huajin Securities believes that, at present, the fundamentals may continue to recover, overseas risks have been sufficiently released, and sentiment adjustments are in place, with policies leaning positively; the A-shares may have already bottomed in the short term. It is recommended to continue to accumulate on dips: first, industries with upward trends in policies and industries such as telecommunications (AI hardware), electronics (semiconductors, AI hardware), new energy (AI power, energy storage), innovative drugs, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, and military industry (commercial aerospace); second, undervalued dividend industries such as coal, electricity, and banking. CITIC Securities pointed out that with the explosion of Agent applications and multimodal ecosystems, there is a mismatch between capital expenditure and computing power demand, and global token usage is entering a new round of accelerated growth. The cloud industry chain is expected to enter a year of significant growth in both volume and price. In the cloud industry chain, demand is pushing up price levels, and the cloud industry chain is entering a cycle of rising volume and price. In terms of computing power leasing, the supply of quality computing power chips is tight, and leading computing power leasing companies have prominent positioning advantages, with high leverage enhancing growth certainty. It is recommended to pay attention to cloud industry chain and computing power leasing-related targets. Regarding the market outlook, Industrial Securities stated that it is looking for quality assets that have been "misjudged" due to emotional inertia in the current Middle East geopolitical conflict, with the holding structure gradually focusing on sectors with certain prosperity. Combining the rise and fall since March, we filter out the high-performing industries that have been significantly impacted by external shocks, mainly concentrated in: AI (domestic semiconductor computing power, PCB, mid and downstream gaming, consumer electronics, etc.), advanced manufacturing (new energy, military industry), cyclical (non-ferrous metals, chemicals, steel, glass fiber), service consumption & new consumption (retail, jewelry, pet economy), and non-bank financials. Guojin Securities pointed out that the current market structure is not stable; if the conflict escalates, the so-called resilient assets may also face a correction; if there is a de-escalation, it may not be the optimal solution In fact, the biggest source of impact currently comes from energy, so solving the contradictions in energy is the true resilient asset. The increase in the proportion of energy in global GDP is a high-probability event. Based on the current information, considering the comprehensive expected value of two scenarios and increasing optimism about the market, the following recommendations are made: 1. The world is entering an energy replenishment cycle, and both old and new energy are expected to resonate (oil, oil transportation, coal, lithium batteries, wind and solar, energy storage); 2. As the illusion of the US dollar gradually fades, the financial attributes of commodities are rebounding, combined with the recovery in demand for copper, aluminum, and gold; 3. The re-evaluation of China's manufacturing industry: machinery and equipment, chemicals. As Chinese manufacturing becomes the global ballast, the continuous outperformance of exports and capital inflow will also bring new drivers to the long-silent domestic demand, seeking structural opportunities under the reversal of suppressive factors, such as tourism and scenic spots, seasoning and fermentation products, beer and other alcoholic beverages, pharmaceutical commerce, and medical aesthetics ### Related Stocks - [510760.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510760.CN.md) - [510980.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510980.CN.md) - [159915.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159915.CN.md) - [601899.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/601899.CN.md) - [510210.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510210.CN.md) - [600547.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600547.CN.md) - [530060.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/530060.CN.md) - [563930.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/563930.CN.md) - [600489.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600489.CN.md) - [518850.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/518850.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [BREAKINGVIEWS-China's outbound M&A spree has staying power](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286850954.md) - [PRECIOUS-Gold falls with MidEast war in focus after Trump pauses strike](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286878933.md) - [PRECIOUS-Gold edges higher from over 1-1/2-month low but higher yields cap gains](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286745980.md) - [Montage Gold reports on its Q1-2026 activities | MAUTF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286392787.md) - [PRECIOUS-Treasury yields, dollar weigh on gold amid inflation concerns](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286929968.md)
