Market Trend Analysis On August 7, A-shares continued to exhibit a divergent pattern, with the Shanghai Composite Index slightly lower, and the Shenzhen Component Index and ChiNext Index higher, as technology hardware maintained relative strength. The overseas markets were overall under pressureU.S. stocks fell and the South Korean Composite Index plunged 4.58which created some external pressure on A-share sentiment. However, the impressive domestic data on tax reductions and fee cuts for sci-tech and the gradual opening of the mid-year report performance window provided some endogenous support for the market. From the consensus view among institutions, this round of adjustment is mainly seen as a release of trading congestion and a temporary contraction in valuations. The long-term growth logic of the AI industry has not undergone a substantial reversal. As the mid-year reports begin to enter a concentrated disclosure period, the market may gradually shift from expectations-driven to performance-driven, with the technology hardware sector (semiconductors, components, communication equipment) maintaining a favorable outlook but with accelerated internal rotation. Leading stocks with real performance are likely to benefit first from valuation recovery. In the short term, overseas uncertainties (non-farm data, Federal Reserve interest rate path, Middle East situation) remain the main disturbance factors, and A-shares may maintain a fluctuating and divergent pattern. The downward space of the market is expected to narrow, but a trend-based recovery still requires incremental capital and further verification from fundamentals.
