Prospects & Risks
In the short term, the market continues to face high volatility risk due to the rotation of capital between different stock groups and strong divergence. Short-term support may come from large-cap stocks in the Real Estate and Financial Services sectors, but this needs to be confirmed by volume. The main risk is the large price swings and the potential for sharp corrections in some highly speculative stocks.
