Recent analysis from Citic Securities indicates that Chinese A-shares may be at the beginning of a significant upward trend, described as a 'marathon rally.' Key factors contributing to this optimism include stabilization of home prices in core cities and a recovery in social financing. Additionally, the China CSI A500 index has garnered renewed interest from global investment managers, reflecting a bullish sentiment in the market. Despite a recent decline in euphoria surrounding the Chinese stock market, various indicators suggest that a positive outlook remains, with major securities firms expressing confidence in the A-share market's prospects for the upcoming year, according to a report by Securities Daily.
