Iran's continuous air strikes on US base stock market frightened A shares may become a safe haven

SMM1, January 8: January 3, the U. S. military used air strikes to kill Iran's "Al-Quds Brigade" commander Sulaimani. The Black Swan has since taken off as a result of the turmoil in global capital markets and the strengthening of safe haven assets. In Iran, there has been wave after wave of statements of retaliation, and US President Donald Trump has warned that if Iran attacks any US personnel or targets, the US "may respond quickly in a disproportionate manner". For a time, the international community is increasingly worried about the outbreak of large-scale conflict between the United States and Iraq, and the capital markets are also panicking.

Tensions between the United States and Iraq have intensified. In the early morning of January 8, Iran launched two waves of attacks on US military bases in Iraq.

S. stocks plummeted at the start of trading before narrowing their losses.

The statement also urged the United States to withdraw its troops from Iraq as soon as possible, otherwise Iran will launch more attacks. Allies of the United States, such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel, will also be under attack by Iran. The White House immediately issued a statement saying that the United States has been informed of reports of attacks on US military bases in Iraq and is closely monitoring the development of the situation. "the president has been briefed and is closely monitoring the situation and consulting with his national security team," the statement said. "

A number of organizations have also expressed their views on the "Black Swan" incident.

Citic Securities said that the "well-off cow" rehearsal continued, before the Spring Festival A shares still have action energy, all kinds of funds under the rapid relay plate rotation speed. The performance enters the intensive disclosure period, the Middle East geographical risk deteriorates rapidly, the risk will weaken the action energy, the market trend overheating possibility is not big. Structurally, the growth plate is about to enter a strict performance test period, the logic of the cycle plate can not be falsified in the short term, and the value plate is favored by all kinds of funds. Taking into account valuation, risk and capital preferences, the final capital consensus and market style will fall on value. In terms of configuration, it is still recommended to adhere to the value as the main position, and the cycle still has an offensive effect in the short term.

Huatai Securities said that from the perspective of calendar effect and macro data gap period, the "red envelope market" may continue until before the Spring Festival, throughout the year, the index upward space may be greater than the downward space. In rhythm, it is suggested that we should continue to grasp the red envelope market before the Spring Festival, but we should pay attention to the risk of fermentation of short-term geopolitical problems and the three points of pressure in February after the festival. In terms of configuration, under the condition of short-term trading volume and abundant liquidity, the boom + undervaluation strategy resonates, but in the medium term, the economy is still better, and we continue to pay attention to building materials (glass is more cost-effective), household appliances (small household appliances are more cost-effective), automobiles, construction and other industry opportunities + electrified new, mechanical stocks. The camera continues to lay out the opportunities for the three "big years" (upper and middle reaches of electric cars, electronics and cloud computing) after structural inflation is reduced in the first quarter of next year.

Anxin Securities believes that important geopolitical events have taken place in the Middle East, the US-Iraq conflict has brought new uncertainty, oil prices are expected to rise, and expectations of chemical and commodity prices will be boosted in the short term, and inflationary pressures brought about by "lard resonance" will not be ruled out in the future.
