CITIC Securities: Policy signals remain active, funds continue to enter the market
According to a research report by CITIC Securities, A-shares are still in the policy game trading stage dominated by the continuous entry of active funds. Policy expectations dominate the short-term market, and policy signals remain positive. The policies that have been implemented have shown initial results, and active funds represented by individual investors continue to enter the market. In the short term, the growth style elasticity is greater. After the policy is fully implemented and the price signal is verified and stabilized, institutional funds may usher in a positive entry opportunity, and the steadily rising market will continue for a longer period of time. At that time, the high-performance growth and domestic demand sectors are expected to continue to dominate. On the one hand, after the reversal of domestic policy expectations, we are currently in a period of intensive policy implementation, and the policy ideas and intensity are becoming increasingly clear. It is expected that the future signals will remain positive, and some macro high-frequency data have begun to show signs of stabilization. More comprehensive price signals are also gradually approaching. On the other hand, individual and institutional investors have different entry rhythms and style preferences due to differences in information focus and fundamental expectations. In the recent market environment of domestic and foreign policy game trading, active funds will continue to enter, and the growth style elasticity is greater in the short term.
Investment strategy: Incremental funds remain positive, continue to focus on event catalysis and business trends
In late September, the policy exceeded expectations and drove the market to surge in volume this round; Subsequently, due to the high expectations of the market for policies, coupled with significant short-term gains, the market experienced a period of adjustment. Looking ahead, we believe that after market sentiment returns to a reasonable level, continued policy efforts will promote economic stabilization and recovery, and the market is expected to return to an upward trend. In November, the focus of industry allocation will be on areas with improved performance in the third quarter report, continued policy efforts, and expected favorable outcomes in the US presidential election.
