【CICC: Pay more attention to physical assets and assets that can generate stable cash flow】CICC said that, on the whole, the current valuations of the US, Indian and Japanese stock markets are high and trading is relatively crowded. When a large supply shock occurs, they may face relatively greater pressure to pull back, and the market has a small safety buffer space to deal with the shock, that is, the market is not resilient enough. At the same time, in the process of deglobalization and de-financialization, the attractiveness and importance of financial assets have structurally declined. On the one hand, more attention can be paid to physical assets, including commodities such as copper, gold and oil, and assets linked to them, such as resource stocks, which can effectively diversify investment risks and hedge against higher inflation centers and macro fluctuations. On the other hand, within equity assets, more attention can be paid to assets that can generate stable cash flow, including naturally scarce and barrier industries, industries with weak correlation between profits and economic cycles, and efficient productive assets.

[How does the slight correction in gold prices affect gold wealth management] Due to the decline in international gold prices and holiday promotions, domestic gold prices have fallen, and the gold market has experienced a slight "cooling down". On social platforms, "Will gold continue to fall?" has become a hot topic. "Although the gold price has fallen recently, investors are still willing to rush into the gold market. Wealth management companies such as China Merchants Bank Wealth Management, Everbright Wealth Management and Ping An Wealth Management have all launched gold-related fixed-income wealth management products." Industry insiders told reporters. It is reported that compared with wealth management products linked to gold ETFs and options, wealth management products linked to gold spot are more susceptible to fluctuations in the gold market. However, most wealth management products linked to gold have a limited proportion of gold assets, and the asset allocation of wealth management products generally has a risk hedging mechanism, so the income fluctuations of related wealth management products are smaller than the volatility of the gold market.
