People’s Financial News, March 23 — Due to escalating Middle East geopolitical conflicts and the hawkish stance of overseas central banks, market risk aversion and tightening expectations are intertwined, causing global capital markets to be on edge. Recently, international oil prices have continued to soar, while traditional safe-haven assets like gold and global risk assets have weakened simultaneously. The Shanghai Composite Index has fallen below the 4,000-point mark. Several public mutual funds believe that the current market is shifting into a “stagflation trading” mode due to liquidity tightening. High energy prices and tightening macro liquidity are the main contradictions influencing asset pricing. In terms of investment strategy, it is advised to control positions, reduce dependence on the index, and focus on energy security and risk hedging. A rotation and reallocation around new main themes has already begun.
