Since my country’s Spring Festival has always had a tradition of giving out red envelopes, whether A-shares can go up after the festival is often called the red envelope market by the market. Then, with the recent general rise in overseas markets, especially the extra favor of Chinese assets, can it promote the A-share market to get off to a good start after the festival?

This requires psychological preparation, but it will not hinder the long-term continued optimism.”

And Soochow Securities emphasized in the research report that behind the long China transaction is the expectation of the strong recovery of the Chinese economy; “For the domestic market, the fundamentals are still in their own hands. Sexual shocks may make A-shares perform better than Hong Kong stocks. The recovery after the epidemic and the gradual promotion of loose credit are the confidence of China’s economy and assets, and the Chinese market will be more stable than other markets. However, in comparison, the Hong Kong stock market It is more susceptible to the impact of overseas liquidity, so when the US dollar and US bond yields rebound, A shares, which have been relatively lagging before, will gradually catch up with Hong Kong stocks.”
