As of March 18, 2026, the CSI A500 Index constituents showed mixed performance, with Faraday Electronics recording the highest gains. A500 ETF funds traded actively, with short-term market volatility driven by geopolitical tensions. However, from a medium to long-term perspective, Chinese assets may emerge as safe-haven assets. Looking ahead, the A-share market will continue to exhibit structural trends, with policy support providing market underpinning, though external environmental uncertainties are increasing.

CaiDa Securities pointed out that the short-term market is clearly affected by geopolitical disturbances. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has shaken the global energy market and also suppressed risk appetite in the global financial markets. Chinese assets have also experienced some short-term impact, but in the medium to long term, supported by a complete manufacturing supply chain and ample market liquidity, Chinese assets are expected to become a safe haven during global turbulence, as evidenced by the strong performance of the RMB exchange rate in the foreign exchange market. Therefore, in terms of investment strategy, it is not advisable to take excessive risks in the short term, but neither should one be overly pessimistic.

Debon Securities noted that looking ahead, the A-share market may continue its structural trend. From a macroeconomic perspective, China is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, with continued policy support providing fundamental backing for the market. However, after the conflict between the U.S. and Iran led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, external uncertainty increased, and the risk of a slowdown in global economic growth rose, putting pressure on market sentiment. Regarding market style, it is expected that value and growth styles will continue to diverge.
