Overnight, US stocks fell due to the US-Iran negotiation stalemate and sustained high oil prices, which exerted some pressure on the opening sentiment of the A-shares; the Nasdaq Golden Dragon Index fell 2.94%, which marginally negatively affected the sentiment of A-shares From a structural perspective, technology growth sectors such as robotics, CRO, and MLCC continue the active trend from the previous trading day. Multiple catalysts, including the central bank's "14th Five-Year" plan, the new power system plan, and the Shanghai software industry plan, have been implemented, providing fundamental support for the structural market.

Therefore, low-cost allocation in technology growth remains the current mainline logic.
In the short term, external geopolitical disturbances may push up oil prices or temporarily suppress risk appetite. However, domestic policies to stabilize growth continue to be implemented, and overall market liquidity is abundant. The index may maintain a fluctuating and differentiated pattern, with structural opportunities still concentrated in technology growth sectors that resonate with policy catalysts and performance realization
