Risk-Off Sentiment Prevails Globally
Overnight, global risk assets faced selling pressure amid escalating military tensions between Iran and the US. All three major US stock indices closed lower, with the Dow plunging over 780 points. Major European indices also fell more than 1.4%. Markets fear prolonged conflict could fuel inflation and stifle economic growth.
Oil Price Spike and Policy Stance
International oil prices were in focus, with WTI crude futures soaring over 8% to break above $81 per barrel. US President Trump's statement that "military action is far more important" than rising oil prices amplified concerns over potential energy supply disruptions. Although Iran clarified it has not blocked the Strait of Hormuz, the tense situation has substantially increased risk premiums.
Domestic Market Focus
Domestically, macro policy remains steady. The PBOC conducted an 80 billion yuan buyout-style reverse repo operation today to maintain reasonably ample liquidity. Positive industry signals emerged: BYD unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery, claiming a range exceeding 1,000 km on a full charge, potentially leading a new breakthrough in EV technology. Meanwhile, a global shortage of memory chips is intensifying, with reports suggesting domestic internet giants are shifting orders to local suppliers, benefiting the semiconductor import substitution supply chain.
Today's Outlook and Strategy
Looking ahead, the A-share market faces a complex external environment. On one hand, pressure from overseas market declines, soaring oil prices (imported inflation), and dampened risk appetite cannot be ignored. On the other hand, domestic liquidity support, technological breakthroughs, and import substitution logic provide structural support. Investors should be wary of overall market volatility, focusing on sectors like energy (benefiting from higher oil prices), advanced manufacturing with technical barriers, and technology sectors with clear domestic substitution themes.
