This is partly because this year's "spring market" started and ended earlier, and since March, the market has clearly seen reduced volume and adjustments, currently in a recovery phase. On the other hand, the current macro environment of economic recovery and rising inflation is expected to validate the expectations of improved corporate earnings in the first quarter, thus the market in April will return to fundamentals, suggesting attention to first-quarter reports and seizing opportunities in thriving industries. Huaxi Securities believes that as the SSE Index approaches 4000 points, it will gain momentum after repeated consolidation. On the overseas front, the situation in the Middle East remains a major disturbance, but the market has priced in expectations of "repeated negotiations," which is expected to reduce sensitivity to geopolitical events. Domestically, the economic start in the first quarter is positive, with PMI returning to expansion and PPI turning positive year-on-year, which is expected to drive A-share corporate earnings to recover quarter by quarter, further solidifying the fundamental support for the market. After the SSE Index has basically identified a phase bottom near 3800 points, the short-term A-share market is likely to digest profit-taking pressure through repeated fluctuations, accumulating momentum for future breakthroughs. In the medium term, after consolidation, A-shares are expected to rise again. Guotai Junan Securities believes that the subsequent developments in the US-Israel-Iran conflict remain a key external variable affecting A-share market risk appetite. The current situation has entered a tug-of-war phase of temporary ceasefire and negotiations, with the navigation status of the Strait of Hormuz and the sustainability of the ceasefire agreement being core anchors affecting global inflation expectations and risk asset pricing. The market may face three potential scenarios: the most optimistic scenario is that the US and Iran reach a peace agreement, navigation in the Strait of Hormuz gradually returns to normal, international oil prices gradually decline, global inflation expectations cool, the Federal Reserve shifts to a loose monetary policy, market risk appetite recovers, and the A-share market may enter a trend upward window; the most pessimistic scenario is that negotiations break down, Iran re-blocks the strait, international oil prices surge rapidly, leading to heightened global "stagflation" concerns, and the A-share market will face significant external pressure again; in a neutral scenario, although no permanent peace agreement is reached, the temporary ceasefire agreement is rolled over, navigation in the Strait of Hormuz sees some recovery, but intermittent disturbances remain, and oil prices will fluctuate above pre-war levels. In this scenario, the A-share market's structural volatility will continue. CICC points out that April is about to welcome a concentrated disclosure period for first-quarter reports. In conjunction with the first-quarter report performance, the following investment themes are highlighted: the current market is significantly affected by external uncertainties, and grasping the turning point of fundamentals and potential recovery elasticity may be an important investment approach at present. During the earnings disclosure phase, key areas to focus on include: 1) standout sectors in first-quarter reports, such as upstream resource sectors, TMT sectors benefiting from high AI prosperity, export chains, and non-bank financials 2) Economic Growth: The current rapid development of the AI industry continues to support demand growth, focusing on optical communication, which directly benefits from the implementation of AI technology, as well as batteries and energy storage, which benefit from energy security and supply chain security. 3) Cyclical Resource Stocks: Considering the position in the capacity cycle, focus on sub-sectors supported by supply-demand patterns that drive price increases and performance certainty, such as power grids and chemicals. 4) High Dividends: In a phase where market risk appetite has not fully recovered, high dividend sectors have a relative yield advantage, but may show phase-specific and structural performance over the year. China Merchants Securities stated that subsequent negotiations between the U.S. and Iran may continue to oscillate between contact—stalemate/extreme pressure—re-contact. As the market gradually adapts to the game state of negotiating while preparing and applying pressure while testing, the marginal impact of related events on asset prices will gradually diminish, and overall volatility may be relatively limited. Looking ahead, market focus will shift to sectors with high growth in Q1 earnings, with non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, new energy, optical communication, and semiconductors expected to benefit ### Related Stocks - [510310.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510310.CN.md) - [000001.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000001.CN.md) - [399001.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/399001.CN.md) - [510050.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510050.CN.md) - [159901.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159901.CN.md) - [159915.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159915.CN.md) - [399006.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/399006.CN.md) - [510300.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510300.CN.md) - [159949.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159949.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [CHINA JAN-APRIL FISCAL REVENUES +3.5% YR/YR](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287035681.md) - [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) - [A-SHARE CLOSE MIXED, SHANGHAI COMPOSITE -0.18%, SHENZHEN COMPONENT FLAT, CHINEXT +0.34% $SHCOMP $SSEC $ASHR $HSI $KWEB $FXI $HXC $DRAG $YINN $YANG (](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287023096.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)
