Institutions firmly believe that we are at the bottom of the market

Against the backdrop of growing concerns about the economic outlook, global stock market volatility has increased significantly in recent days. On August 5, the Japanese stock market plunged 12%, while the Korean, Taiwan, and U.S. stock markets also fell sharply. On August 6, the Japanese stock market rebounded strongly.

Chairman of Sino-European RuiboWu WeizhiHe said that the overseas markets have recently experienced large fluctuations. Although A-shares have also adjusted, they have shown a certain degree of resilience compared with US and Japanese stocks. With the Bank of Japan's announcement of interest rate hikes and balance sheet reduction last week, the previous situation of long US and Japanese stocks leading to crowded trading has reversed, and short Chinese transactions have also faced similar liquidation pressure.

"Personally, I think that investors don't need to take a lot of medicine and sell A-shares just because their neighbor is sick. A-shares still have their own operating logic and cycles, and have released risks for a long time. Investing in A-shares should still focus on China's economic, monetary, and policy cycles. Adhering to high-quality investment will surely help them survive all kinds of disturbances." Wu Weizhiz said.

Wangzheng Capital believes that the domestic economy is still in the recovery period. It will take time for the real estate to improve, consumption and manufacturing are still at the bottom, and exports are expected to rise steadily in the next two quarters. With the further transmission of monetary and fiscal policies, it is expected that the economic pressure will be relieved in the fourth quarter.

"The current market is still at the bottom. In the long run, we have firm confidence in the market. In 2023, the FCFF (corporate free cash flow) of all A-shares (excluding financials) hit a record high, and the ability of high-quality companies to create free cash flow continued to increase. The increase in corporate value has not been fully reflected in the current stock price, which is why we need to increase the layout of such high-quality assets.Hershey'sOpportunity." Wangzheng Capital said.
