The breakdown of US-Iran negotiations and the increasing risks to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz have continuously embedded geopolitical premiums into energy prices. However, the resilience of the Chinese market is evident, primarily due to the **energy self-sufficiency rate reaching 85%**, significantly higher than the approximately 15% level of Japan and South Korea, which has notably reduced the transmission effects of external shocks. In the short term, if conflicts continue to escalate, it may raise inflation expectations and delay the pace of interest rate cuts; However, in the long term, high oil prices will accelerate the energy transition, forcing the replacement of new energy sources and the construction of energy security systems, bringing structural opportunities to related fields. The current market has digested most geopolitical risks, and subsequent fluctuations will rely more on actual supply and demand changes rather than purely emotional drives. The Politburo meeting at the end of April will become a policy barometer, expected to focus on two major directions: first, **energy security and supply stability**, strengthening oil and gas reserves and diversifying import channels, and increasing domestic exploration and development efforts; Second, **green transition and new infrastructure**, implementing the "14th Five-Year" plan for collaborative investment in electricity, and promoting the construction of energy infrastructure such as ultra-high voltage and energy storage. In terms of monetary policy, the central bank will maintain reasonable liquidity, using structural tools to support energy transition and industrial chain security, providing low-cost funding support for related fields. The measures to respond to energy price fluctuations will directly affect market risk appetite and industry profit expectations, making it a key node for laying out the next stage of the market. Under the energy conflict, opportunities for China's core assets are concentrated in the **threefold security logic**: first, **industrial chain security**, where manufacturing with a complete industrial chain and cost advantages demonstrates stronger bargaining power amidst energy price fluctuations; Second, **energy supply security**, where domestic energy production and reserve system-related fields benefit from enhanced supply protection policies; finally, **technological substitution security**, where breakthroughs in new energy and energy storage technologies accelerate the reduction of dependence on traditional energy sources. In a liquidity easing environment, core assets with a safety premium will attract capital, becoming the market's "ballast," especially during periods of repeated conflict, where their defensive attributes and growth potential will resonate. So what choices should be made? Tonight at 7 PM, in the Breaking Bamboo live broadcast room, we have specially invited the familiar Miss Dong to bring you: Theme: Energy Conflict, Where Are the Core Opportunities? 1. Is the deadlock in the Middle East conflict going to impact the market again? 2. What opportunities might arise from the important meeting at the end of the month? 3. Where are the opportunities for China's core assets amidst the energy conflict? 4. Let's talk about gold, strategic resources, new energy, technology, and innovative drugs.
