The current actual holdings of the short-term, medium-term, and long-term securities investment portfolios in this column are 50%, 56.25%, and 35% respectively, with the market outlook categorized as favorable, favorable, and significantly bearish respectively. The market believes that the meeting between the Chinese and US leaders aims to stabilize bilateral relations and reduce geopolitical risks. It is expected that both sides will reach a framework consensus on macroeconomic conditions and trade tariffs, maintain existing tariff exemptions, suspend the imposition of new tariffs, and resume cooperation on agricultural and energy procurement. In the fields of technology and security, the US is likely to maintain restrictions on high-end chips, but both sides may establish dialogue mechanisms on general technologies, supply chain specifications, and artificial intelligence safety. In addition, the two countries will also manage their differences in the Taiwan Strait region, ensure smooth high-level and military communication channels, and cooperate on certain global issues. Finally, if an agreement to comprehensively promote business exchanges can be reached, it could bring highly valuable policy predictability and stability to global financial markets.
This meeting between the Chinese and US leaders is expected to alleviate concerns in global financial markets, providing varying degrees of positive stimulus to the mainland stock market and Hong Kong stocks. For the mainland stock market, a more relaxed external environment will help maintain the strength of the RMB, further driving net inflows of northbound funds and boosting overall market trading volume. It is estimated that leading export-oriented enterprises in sectors such as home appliances and new energy components will benefit the most, while the technology sector will continue to receive central policy support. As a highly open market dominated by foreign capital, the Hong Kong stock market is highly sensitive to geopolitical factors; the stabilization of relations between the two countries will effectively reduce political risk premiums, attract the return of overseas long-term capital, and drive upward movements in large technology stocks, export-related stocks, and biotech stocks. However, investors should still beware of short-term profit-taking once the positive news is confirmed. For the medium- to long-term performance of both markets to genuinely improve, it will still highly depend on the recovery of the mainland's macroeconomy and the effectiveness of economic measures.
