A-Share Pre-Market: Nasdaq Hits Record High; PBOC Holds Foreign Financial Institution Symposium
This pre-market briefing for A-shares highlights multiple positive catalysts. The Nasdaq composite index closed at a record high, driven by easing geopolitical tensions that lowered oil prices and persistent optimism in artificial intelligence, with chip stocks like AMD and Meta surging. Domestically, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Governor Pan Gongsheng stated at a foreign financial institution symposium that the central bank will implement moderately loose monetary policy to support economic growth and financial market stability, while continuing to promote high-level financial opening. However, negative signals emerged as Shengu Group's stock experienced extreme volatility, prompting the Shanghai Stock Exchange to issue a warning against speculative trading. On the industry front, early performance forecasts for the first three quarters of 2026 show strong results from the AI supply chain, including GPU, packaging, and precision manufacturing firms. Analyst views from Guangfa, Dongwu, and Founder Securities suggest a tactical rebound opportunity, focusing on AI and policy-driven sectors. Key events include the 2026 Alibaba Cloud Computing Conference.
