Institutional views: 1. Huatai: Structural bull markets may be the main feature of the market in the near term Huatai pointed out that after recovering the 3300-point mark, the Shanghai Composite Index's attack on the 3400-point mark appears hesitant, as the market lacks a clear theme and consensus on hot spots is still to be consolidated. Recently, trading volume has remained low, just slightly higher than 1 trillion yuan, mainly due to a game of stalemate between existing funds with weak momentum from outside the market. Although the upward momentum of the Shanghai Composite Index has appeared weak recently, the failure to yet fill the upward gap on May 7 also indicates that the bullish momentum is still resilient. Looking ahead, the attack on the 3400-point mark may not be easily abandoned after consolidating potential energy. In the short term, the Shanghai Composite Index is expected to continue to consolidate, trading time for space, with structural bull markets may become the main feature of the market in the near term. 2. Huajin Securities: Short-term maintains a strong shaking trend, technology remains the main theme Huajin Securities pointed out that with loose liquidity and positive policies in the short term, A shares are maintaining a strong trembling trend. In the short term, technology remains the main theme. Industry allocation: In the short term, it is recommended to continue to buy technology and some consumer industries on dips. From a valuation and cost-effectiveness perspective, it is recommended to focus on growing industries such as power equipment, automobiles, electronics, media, and computers.
