渣打：下半年建议超配科技与通信服务，低配必需消费品

Odaily Planet Daily News Standard Chartered Bank has released its global market outlook for the second half of 2026. In China, given the overall market's potential for valuation re-rating, Standard Chartered has shifted to a more risk-on stance. In terms of allocation recommendations, the Technology and Communication Services sector remains overweight, primarily benefiting from the increased self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips and the continued advancement of AI commercialization. The Healthcare sector has been downgraded to neutral due to limited earnings visibility. The Consumer Staples sector has been downgraded to underweight for similar reasons. The Utilities sector has been upgraded to neutral, benefiting from improved electricity demand and policy support.

Globally, investors in the second half of 2026 will have to navigate a volatile landscape shaped by energy prices, equity supply, investor positioning, and central bank policies. Standard Chartered expects risk assets to continue receiving support in an environment of macroeconomic soft landing. (21st Century Business Herald)
