CSC Financial says A-share market has entered a second-stage recovery. Middle East geopolitical spillovers lifted oil and long-end UST yields earlier but that phase has eased; oil and long-end UST yields have retreated.

Key risks: the persistence of overseas rate and oil declines and external shocks around the FOMC meeting at end-October. Recommended positioning: balanced, layered. Offensive overweight: compute-capacity supply-constrained segments (optical chips, PCB manufacturing, CCL, server OEMs) and industrial base metals (copper, aluminum, tin). Defensive base: dividend-yielding assets as core ballast. Tactical: selective, policy-driven domestic-demand opportunities in agriculture, medical aesthetics, and textiles/apparel.
