Institutional point of view

Citic Securities said that the escalation of US restrictions on Huawei affected market sentiment, but the actual impact was limited. It is expected that the clear policy consensus of the "two sessions" will not be weaker than expected, superimposed by a loose macro liquidity environment, and A shares are still in the window of this round of slow rise, and on configuration, we still propose to take new and old infrastructure and technology leaders (5G, cloud computing, new energy vehicles, etc.) as the main line, of which in the short term we can focus on the infrastructure sectors supported by the public opinion of the "two sessions"; at the same time, we will continue to lay out high-quality stagflation varieties suppressed by the epidemic.

Haitong Securities: be patient in the short term and work step by step

Core conclusions: 1 the market valuation is low, the liquidity environment is loose, the core factor affecting the market is profit, and the periodic rebound since 319 still needs to withdraw shock, which stems from the weak data at present. 2 looking forward to the whole year, corporate profits are expected to fill the Q1 pit, that is, positive growth, but we still need to follow up the follow-up policies and epidemic control. June-July is a verification period. (3) strengthen confidence in the medium term, be patient in the short term, work step by step, external demand is insufficient to make up for domestic demand, first focus on new infrastructure and consumption, and medium-term technology and securities firms are better.

Citic Construction Investment Securities: the market adjustment continues, but the space may be limited.

The latest view predicts that with the resumption of work after the epidemic, the economy is expected to return to normal step by step in the second and third quarters, and the market is expected to return to around the January high of 3150 by the end of the third quarter.

The motherboard as a whole is in the rising cycle that began on March 24, and has entered the 2-wave adjustment stage in the short term. With reference to the recovery speed of China's domestic demand, the expected adjustment time and space may be lower than expected, and it is recommended to maintain a medium position. And wait patiently for the two sessions to give a clearer signal direction.

Gem, as a small and medium-sized market capitalization plate in the market, is more significantly affected by the news of economic recovery. its short-term rhythm is close to that of the main board, and it will be a better time to wait patiently for the end of the two waves that may not be too long. it is recommended to maintain the medium position in the short term, and the market capitalization style to maintain the dominance of the gem.
