Resource sector continues to heat up; institutions suggest seizing main trend expansion opportunities

【Resource Sector Continues to Rise; Institutions Recommend Seizing Mainline Expansion Opportunities】Cailian Press, March 16 — Over the past week, the A-share market has shown a pattern of oscillation and consolidation, with major broad-based indices performing divergently. Meanwhile, the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East continues to affect global markets, increasing volatility across various asset classes. Institutional strategy outlook suggests that although there is some uncertainty about the future development of the Middle East situation, the A-shares benefit from the certainty of domestic policies and a relatively loose liquidity environment, significantly enhancing resilience against overseas shocks. Against the backdrop of a rapid rise in international crude oil prices, energy security assets are likely to benefit in the short term. In the medium to long term, the fundamentals of the tech industry represented by AI are less affected by the Middle East situation, and after short-term disturbances subside, they are expected to remain a main market theme.
