Market Outlook
1. CICC: Chinese stocks have favorable conditions of undervaluation and low volatility, and the outlook is not pessimistic
CICC pointed out that economic and financial data in July shows that domestic demand still needs improvement, while the economic structure remains differentiated. However, Chinese stocks have the advantages of undervaluation and low volatility, so they recommend not being too pessimistic in the medium term. Firstly, the valuation of domestic stocks is relatively low both horizontally and vertically, providing a good margin of safety for domestic stocks. Secondly, in terms of volatility, the volatility of the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index is also lower than the historical average, which reflects a lack of market activity and suggests an improved relative price-performance ratio for Chinese stock assets. If the stable growth policy continues to accelerate, the macroeconomic environment will eventually...Improvement, pushing expected stock returns into positive territory, the upward elasticity of stocks may exceed expectations. With the gradual implementation of domestic growth stabilization policies, it may drive the periodic decline of risk premiums, boosting market sentiment and valuation levels. Overall, we are not pessimistic about the mid-term outlook for the Chinese stock market.Industrial: the current market may usher in a window for performance expectation adjustment and risk preference restoration
Industrial points out that the current market may usher in a window for performance expectation adjustment and risk preference restoration after the financial report season. In previous years, the financial report season was often a period of risk preference contraction, with the core being that high earnings expectations in the market led to stock prices falling after the performance did not meet expectations. The difference this year is that the market itself has a low risk preference, leading to many negative expectations being already factored in during the performance vacuum period, and the financial report season may instead see a restoration of risk preference.
