Core Summary: The ChiNext is uniquely strong supported by weighted performance, while the STAR Market is more aggressive but with greater volatility. High-level technology continues to loosen, with speculative funds attempting to target low-end consumption and dividends, but with insufficient certainty. In the semiconductor sector, catalysts such as Changxin's approval, TSMC's price increase, and CCL's price hike are ongoing. Strategically, if technology can withstand adjustments, it can be added back in time; if truly afraid of adjustments, hold cash and wait, and do not easily bottom-fish at low levels.

【Strategy Observation】

Market Performance: Yesterday's trading volume was 3.24 trillion, basically flat. The ChiNext rose independently supported by heavyweight performance; the Sci-Tech Innovation Board is aggressive but volatile. The Shanghai Composite Index fluctuated around 4000 points.

Sectors and Themes:

Leading sectors: Coal, Food and Beverage, Public Utilities. High positions continue to loosen, with speculative funds attempting to move towards lower positions.

Consumption: In a clearing phase, old institutions are selling, research coverage is decreasing, and fundamentals and sentiment are at low levels. Relying solely on chip game thinking to bottom fish in consumption is insufficient; the main logic is betting on technology adjustments.

Semiconductors: Changxin's approval, TSMC price increases, CCL price hikes, and MLCC shortages are ongoing catalysts.

Operational Thoughts:

If you are truly afraid of adjustments, the best choice for absolute returns is to hold cash and wait, rather than trying to bottom fish at low levels. If technology withstands adjustments, you can also add back in time. The low position direction (consumption, dividends) can only achieve relative returns, while still facing the significant risk of technology tail risks—potentially catching a sesame seed while losing a watermelon.
