MORGAN STANLEY fund says last week’s market divergence persisted, driven by continued AI-chain strength and catalysts in parts of the supply chain; IPO expectations for two domestic memory giants boosted related stocks. Margin financing has surged since May—growth second only to August last year—with the financing balance briefly near 2.9 tln yuan last week. Electronics and telecom sectors logged net margin financing purchases above 100 bln yuan. Extreme, concentrated trading is producing violent swings that release rather than accumulate risk; with risk appetite low, capital has clustered in high‑momentum areas. Given a recent easing in external geopolitical tensions, opportunities are expected to diffuse from a few core plays into a wider set of technology names, though some large‑cap non‑tech stocks may be capped if the market re‑heats. At the security level, AI remains the most favored exposure and is lifting semiconductors and upstream components/materials; selected pockets in energy storage, machinery and chemicals show improving demand.
