Zheshang Securities pointed out that in the second half of the year, bank stocks are entering a gold allocation window where winning rates and odds resonate. The bank believes that in the long-term macro context of low interest rates and scarce assets, bank stocks have both “debt-like attributes” and “positive options for economic recovery,” and are scarce assets worth focusing on. If risk appetite changes in the future, lower-ranking banks may usher in a good allocation opportunity.
