The "A-share market" appeared at the end of June, 2012 and July, 2018, and the "A-share market" appeared at the end of June, 2012 and July, 2018. The confirmation of "policy bottom" is usually accompanied by the continuous introduction of policy combination, including monetary policy, fiscal policy and capital market related policies. The focus of monetary policy is to build the "bottom" and the "capital policy" is often the first, while the "capital policy" is often the first. The improvement of market expectations for economic fundamentals and the recovery of confidence in the stock market are the main driving forces for the market to get out of the bottom. For example, the three major policies to rescue the market and the "four trillion" investment plan were issued in 2008; In 2012, the national development and Reform Commission intensively approved more than trillion yuan of infrastructure investment projects, while insurance capital and the national team collectively increased their holdings of a shares; In 2015, seven ministries and commissions participated in the "rescue of the market" of a shares, and the national team made efforts to protect the market with funds; In 2018, the high-level voice for stock market fluctuations, the easing of Sino US trade frictions and the comprehensive reduction of reserve requirements by the central bank in early 2019 are all coordinated with active fiscal policies and relevant policies of the capital market to boost the market's confidence in economic fundamentals and the stock market.
II. The bottom of A-Shares generally presents the time law of "policy bottom - market bottom - profit bottom" "policy bottom" is usually 1.5-3 months ahead of the "market bottom": the "policy bottom - market bottom - profit bottom" in 20082009 appeared in September, October and March 2009 respectively, and the "policy bottom - market bottom - profit bottom" in 20152016 appeared in July, August and June 2016 respectively. The "market bottom" is not necessarily ahead of the "profit bottom": the profit bottom in 2012 is 3 months earlier than the market bottom; At the end of 2018, the profit was synchronized with the market bottom.
III. the market often rebounds after the "policy bottom" is confirmed, but the construction of the market bottom is often not achieved overnight after the intensive introduction of stability maintenance policies, the A-share market often rebounded, which lasted for 6 to 29 trading days, ranging from + 4.4% to + 19.1%. In the rebound stage, the industry sector generally rose. However, the disturbance of external factors or concerns about economic fundamentals may cause the market to fall back again, and the industry sector generally fell in the falling stage. For example, after rebounding for six trading days in 2008, the market weakened again due to the continued weakening of China's economic data and the sharp decline of the US stock market during the National Day holiday; As another example, in 2018, due to repeated Sino US frictions, the A-share market began to grind the bottom slowly again.
IV. the "policy bottom" of A-Shares in this round has been basically proved. Jinlong Machinery & Electronic Co.Ltd(300032) 00 points are the bottom range, and the probability of "shock upward after grinding the bottom" is high 3 on March 16, the financial committee of the State Council held a meeting. After the Shanghai Composite Index hit the lowest point of 3023, it came out of the "V" shaped rebound market. From the rhythm of previous bottoming of a shares, after the "policy bottom" is proved, the "market bottom" is not too far away. The Shanghai composite index is near Jinlong Machinery & Electronic Co.Ltd(300032) 00 points or a relatively solid bottom. In the future, there will be a high probability of upward shock after the bottom of a shares. We should pay attention to two signals: on the one hand, China's stability maintenance policy continues to be issued, and the economic fundamentals confirm the bottom; On the other hand, the external disturbance factors such as the rhythm of the Fed's interest rate increase and contraction and geographical relations are gradually becoming clear.
risk warning: policy strength is less than expected; Repeated outbreaks outside China; Economic growth is less than expected; Global black swan incident, etc.

01 how far is the "policy bottom" to the "market bottom" in the history of A-Shares

The Shanghai Composite Index fell from its highest 6124 points on October 16, 2007 to its lowest 1664 points on October 28, 2008. In this round of bear market in 2008, all industries and style sectors fell, and few companies rose at the individual stock level.
In the process of market decline in 2008, the policies of counter cyclical regulation and stabilizing the capital market have been issued successively since April: on April 23, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation studied and decided to adjust the stamp tax rate of securities (stock) transactions from the original 3 ‰ to 1 ‰ from April 24, 2008. At the level of monetary policy, the central bank has implemented loose monetary policy since September, reducing the benchmark deposit and loan interest rate five times and the deposit reserve ratio four times.

The "policy bottom" of A-Shares was clear, and the market risk appetite was greatly boosted. On September 20, the Shanghai Composite Index and Shenzhen composite index both rose by the limit. However, this round of rebound lasted only six trading days, and then the market fell again. On October 28, the lowest point of the Shanghai index was 1664.

12. December 2012 "market bottom": Shanghai Stock Index 1949 points
In 2012, China's economy was in the transition period from economic recession to recovery. The "four trillion" investment ebbed, superimposed with the fermentation of the European debt crisis, and the GDP growth entered the "7" channel.
The government work report in March set the GDP growth target at 7.5%, which is the first time in eight years that the GDP growth target is lower than 8%, and listed "steady growth" as the first policy target of the whole year, which also reflects the great downward pressure on the economy in 2012. In April 2012, the industrial added value fell to 9.3% from 11.9% in March, which was significantly lower than the market expectation. The downward trend of economic fundamentals exceeded the expectation, making the market pessimistic expectation continue to ferment.
Since May 2012, China's monetary policy has been more relaxed, and the central bank has cut reserve requirements and interest rates continuously from May to July; On June 20, the CSRC said it would relax the shareholding ratio limit and increase the shareholding limit of all foreign investors from 20% to 30%, but the market is still in a downward trend.

The balance of A-share financing increased from 1 trillion yuan at the beginning of the year to 2.27 trillion yuan in the middle of the year, accounting for 5% of the circulation market value of A-shares. A large number of illegal over-the-counter capital allocation with up to 5-10 times leverage poured into the stock market, contributing to the "surge" of the stock market, and the market turnover and turnover rate continued to reach a new high. Since mid June, the regulatory authorities have strictly investigated the over-the-counter capital allocation. The scale of A-share financing and financing began to decline, from the highest 2.27 trillion yuan to less than 1 trillion yuan. The transaction volume of the two cities has gradually shrunk, and the leveraged funds burst one after another, driving the sharp decline of the market index. In the 17 trading days from June 15 to July 8, the Shanghai index and the gem index fell 32% and 39% respectively.
From the end of June to July 2016, China's "rescue" policy was intensively introduced. On June 27, the central bank cut reserve requirements and interest rates.

14. January 2019 "market end": Shanghai Stock Index 2440 points
In 2018, affected by China's financial deleveraging and Sino US trade friction, A-Shares faced the dual pressure of downward earnings and downward valuation, and the market adjusted for a long time. The Shanghai Composite Index fell from its highest 3587 point on January 29, 2018 to its lowest 2440 point on January 4, 2019.
On October 19, 2018, vice premier Liu He gave an interview on the current hot economic and financial issues, answered questions on the healthy and stable development of the stock market, support for private enterprises, "national advance and people retreat", and said that the government attaches great importance to the healthy and stable development of the stock market. On the same day, Yi Gang, Liu Shiyu and Guo Shuqing were interviewed by the media respectively to make a strong voice on the recent stock market fluctuations and release positive signals. On the same day, after the stock index fell to a phased low of 2449 points, it opened a round of "oversold" rebound. On November 1, Xi Jinping chairman held a symposium on private enterprises to solve the problem of difficult and expensive financing of private enterprises; On November 5, Xi Jinping chairman announced at the opening ceremony of the Expo that he would set up a science and innovation board in Shanghai Stock Exchange and pilot the registration system.

On November 20, the US Trade Representative Office updated the "301 investigation" report on China and made new accusations on China's technology transfer, intellectual property rights and innovation. Affected by the repeated friction between China and the United States, the A-share market began to grind slowly again. The market really bottomed out on January 4, 2019, when the central bank announced an overall reduction of reserve requirement by 1 percentage point, and the Shanghai Composite Index rose sharply after hitting the lowest point of 2440. From January 4, 2019 to April 8, 2010, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 31.7%.

The time interval of "policy bottom - market bottom / profit bottom" is about 2.5 months; Spatially, the lowest point of the Shanghai stock index is close. Looking back, the "policy bottom" near 2449 is a solid bottom, which is a better time for medium and long-term funds to allocate assets.
02 characteristics of the bottom of previous structures of A-Shares
the confirmation of "policy bottom" of A-Shares is usually accompanied by the continuous introduction of policy combination, including monetary policy, fiscal policy and capital market related policies.
In terms of policy implementation, monetary easing often precedes , for example, from September to December 2008, the central bank cut reserve requirements four times and interest rates five times in a row; From May to July 2012, the central bank reduced the reserve requirement once and the interest rate twice; In June 2015, the central bank cut interest rates and targeted reserve requirements; From June to October 2018, the central bank reduced the reserve requirement twice fiscal policy and capital market policy are the key points to build the "policy bottom" of a shares. The improvement of market expectations for economic fundamentals and the recovery of investors' confidence in the stock market are the main driving forces for the market to get out of the bottom , for example, the three major policies to rescue the market and the "four trillion" investment plan were issued in 2008; In 2012, the national development and Reform Commission intensively approved more than trillion yuan of infrastructure investment projects, while insurance capital and the national team collectively increased their holdings of a shares; In 2015, seven ministries and commissions participated in the "rescue of the market" of a shares, and the national team made efforts to protect the market with funds; The high-level voice against stock market fluctuations in 2018, the easing of trade frictions between China and the United States and the comprehensive reduction of reserve requirements by the central bank in early 2019 are the combination of active fiscal policies and relevant policies of the capital market, which boost the market's confidence in economic fundamentals and the stock market.
A shares generally show the time law of "policy bottom - market bottom - profit bottom" when bottoming all the time . The "policy bottom" is usually 1.5-3 months ahead of the "market bottom , for example, in 2008," policy bottom - market bottom - profit bottom "appeared in September 2008, October 2008 and March 2009 respectively; In 2015, "policy bottom market bottom profit bottom" appeared in July 2015, August 2015 and June 2016 respectively but the "market bottom" is not necessarily ahead of the "profit bottom" , for example, in 2012, the profit bottom was 3 months earlier than the market bottom; In 2018, the bottom of profit kept pace with the bottom of the market.
"policy bottom" is confirmed, the market often rebounds, but the construction of the market bottom is often not achieved overnight after the intensive introduction of stability maintenance policies, the A-share market often rebounded, which lasted from 6 trading days to 29 trading days, with a rebound range of + 4.4% to + 19.1%. In the rebound stage, the industry sector showed a general rise. The reason is that when the "policy bottom" is confirmed, A-Shares have experienced a period of decline, and the market valuation is usually relatively low. The introduction of a series of favorable capital market policies has repaired the market sentiment. However, the disturbance of external factors or concerns about economic fundamentals may make the market fall again, and the industry sector shows a general decline in the decline stage. For example, in 2008, after rebounding for six trading days, the market weakened again due to the continued weakening of China's economic data and the sharp decline of the US stock market during the National Day holiday; As another example, in 2018, affected by the repeated friction between China and the United States, the A-share market began to grind the bottom slowly again.
03 the "policy bottom" of this round has been basically proved, "shock up after grinding the bottom" has a high probability
From this year to March 15, the market continued to decline, due to the interference caused by the deterioration of the external geographical environment, the instability of China's macro policy expectations, the abnormal fluctuation of China concept shares, the reflection of Internet platforms and real estate problems in the capital market and other factors. Since March 16, China's policy level has taken frequent measures to "stabilize expectations and stabilize the market". From the financial commission of the State Council, "one bank and two sessions", the meeting of the foreign exchange bureau, and the postponement of the real estate tax, market confidence has been greatly boosted.
On March 16, the golden stability meeting was held. It was expected that the problems discussed at the meeting were the reason why the market hesitated or even continued to fall sharply, and clearly determined to "respond in time to the hot issues concerned by the market"; The meeting mentioned that "any policy that has a significant impact on the capital market should be coordinated with the financial management department in advance to maintain the stability and consistency of policy expectations and be accountable when necessary", which will help to implement the subsequent policies to stabilize the stability of the capital market.
After the gold stability meeting, the "one bank, two sessions" and the foreign exchange bureau held special meetings to make arrangements for implementation. 1) The CSRC said: "we will continue to strengthen communication with US regulators and strive to reach an agreement on China US audit and supervision cooperation as soon as possible. We will pay close attention to promoting the implementation of new regulations on the supervision of overseas listing of enterprises, support all kinds of qualified enterprises to list abroad and maintain smooth channels for overseas listing" "Spare no effort to maintain the stable operation of the capital market, vigorously promote the improvement of the quality of listed companies, encourage listed companies to increase their holdings and repurchase, guide fund companies to purchase their own shares, improve the system and mechanism conducive to the participation of long-term institutional investors in the capital market, support all kinds of qualified enterprises to list abroad, actively cooperate with relevant departments, and effectively resolve the risks of real estate enterprises"; 2) The central bank mentioned: "monetary policy should take the initiative to respond, and new loans should maintain a moderate growth"; 3) The cbcirc mentioned "guiding insurance institutions to allocate more funds to equity assets"; 4) The safe mentioned "maintaining the steady operation of the foreign exchange market, strengthening the monitoring, judgment and macro Prudential Management of the foreign exchange market, and actively preventing and resolving the risk of external shocks"; 5) In addition, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said on the pilot of real estate tax reform: "there are no conditions to expand the pilot cities of real estate tax reform this year".
the "policy bottom" of A-Shares in this round has been basically proved. The Shanghai stock index Jinlong Machinery & Electronic Co.Ltd(300032) 00 points is the bottom range, and the probability of "shock upward after grinding the bottom" is high 3 on March 16, the Shanghai Composite Index got out of the "V" shaped rebound after hitting the lowest point of 3023. On that day, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 3.48%. From the rhythm of A-share bottoming since 2008, after the "policy bottom" is proved, the "market bottom" is not too far away. The Shanghai stock index is near Jinlong Machinery & Electronic Co.Ltd(300032) 00 points or a relatively solid bottom. In the future, there will be a high probability of upward shock after the bottom of a shares. We should pay attention to two signals: on the one hand, China's stability maintenance policy continues to be issued, and the economic fundamentals confirm the bottom; On the other hand, the external disturbance factors such as the rhythm of the Fed's interest rate increase and contraction and geographical relations are gradually becoming clear.
