8. Institutional Dissolution

Rongwei Securities pointed out that technically, the Shanghai Stock Index completed a round of retracement, falling below the half-year line and then stabilizing and rebounding at the 3330 line. The short- and medium-term moving averages are currently arranged in a short position, and the long-term moving averages are flat. The 30-day moving average has obviously suppressed the stock index. In the later period, it is necessary to trade time for space and rely on the half-year line to fluctuate sideways to repair the short pattern of the moving average system. Recently, the market has shown continuous adjustments with white horses and technology themes, while low-valued blue chips have rebounded from oversold conditions. Funding preferences have obviously changed. The overall market valuation has achieved the purpose of "squeezing the bubble" through adjustments that have gone up and down, laying a good foundation for the next round of market conditions. It is comprehensively judged that the market is mainly about releasing risks in the short term. It is recommended to avoid high-valued products and allocate low-valued blue chips on dips.

Yuanda pointed out that the market has adjusted today. Judging from the intensity of the adjustment, the adjustment is not over yet. Therefore, the response strategy is relatively simple. If the position is low or even short, continue to watch more and move less, and wait patiently for the bottom to be discovered. At least for now, it does not have the conditions to buy the bottom or add positions. This market cannot be done every day. You must choose the opportunity, fish on sunny days, and shelter on rainy days. The top hunters are not only good at hunting, but more importantly, they know how to wait. The procyclical and carbon-neutral directions that have been optimistic recently continue to perform, but some differentiation has begun to occur. Therefore, it is recommended that varieties that have experienced a certain rise in the short term continue to reduce their positions and beware of the risk of short-term adjustments. The pro-cyclical and carbon-neutral overlay low directions can still be paid attention to.

Bai Ruiying pointed out that at present, the index is completely hijacked by institutional group stocks, so in the short term, we must continue to avoid the risk of early group groups and high-level strong stocks compensating for losses after the recent surge. In terms of volume, compared with the previous trading day, today's market is considered to be a heavy-volume decline. The recent market rebound has shrunk, but the decline has been a heavy-volume decline. From this performance, it can also be seen that the market's belief in going long is not strong. Although northbound funds continue to flow in, the trading sentiment on the market is really weak. Therefore, those who are cautious in operation will continue to focus on lurking and pay more attention to low-level momentum or oversold stocks.

The 2024 Graduation Ceremony Of Henan University Of Finance And Law Was Held, And President Si Linsheng Delivered A Speech
On June 18, the 2024 graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony of Henan University of Finance and Economics and Law was grandly held at Zhengdong Campus. Secretary of the school party committee, president Si Linsheng and other school leaders, members of the school degree evaluation committee, heads of relevant functional departments, teacher representatives, alumni representatives, current student representatives and all graduate and undergraduate (junior) students in the class of 2024 participated in the event. The graduation ceremony was hosted by Luo Songyuan, director of the Organization Department of the Party Committee.

The graduation ceremony kicked off with the solemn national anthem. In his speech, Si Linsheng expressed affectionate congratulations to all graduates of the class of 2024 on their successful completion of their studies on behalf of the school, and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the teachers and family members who have witnessed and accompanied the graduates' growth and success. He specifically expressed his praise for the 45 retired soldiers among the 2024 graduates who actively responded to the call of the country while at school, took their pens to serve in the army, and defended their homes and country for their dedication.

Si Linsheng pointed out that today’s graduation ceremony is just a farewell to the University of Finance and Economics where they have studied and lived, not a farewell to their youth. The youth of the students will bloom as a result of graduation. He encouraged everyone that youth will never end, and graduation is the prelude to youth. No matter where the students are in the future, they must use their dreams as horses, keep walking, write dazzling youth answers, and be the dream chasers of the times. Struggle is the march of youth. Struggle is not only the pursuit of dreams, but also the love of life. Every struggle and every persistence is paving the way for your future; growth. It is the battle song of youth. We must seize the opportunity, let go of the resentment of "involution", abandon the argument of "laying down", and abandon the fantasy of "laying down and winning". Don't let the temporary loss cover the light in front of you. The so-called regret is another kind of growth; dreams are the symphony of youth. As long as we keep working hard and achieve our dreams in hard running and continuous struggle, ordinary life will eventually shine brightly. He sent a message to the students that no matter how bumpy their life is, they should live it brightly. I hope the students will go on a journey of thousands of miles and come back still young! His speech was sincere and resonated emotionally with the students, and the audience burst into warm applause many times.

Si Linsheng, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the school, awarded degrees to the graduates

Associate Professor Zhu Xiao, the teacher representative and teacher of the School of Law, drew on the wisdom of the forefathers and gave "justice", "learning" and "usefulness" to the students as parting words. He wished the graduates not to be afraid of wind and rain, rush to the mountains and seas, use their dreams as horses, and live up to their time.

In his speech, Ma Hua, an outstanding alumni representative, a 1999 alumnus of the School of Business Administration, dean of the Rural Revitalization Institute of Shanxi University, second-level professor of the School of Politics and Public Administration, and winner of the National Talent Plan, hoped that every junior and junior student could be a person with a rich spiritual world, a person with a healthy body, and a person who maintains love and firm beliefs.

In their speeches, Wang Luyao, a graduate representative of the junior college and a student of the School of Accounting, and Si Yu, a graduate representative of the master's degree and a student of the School of International Economics and Trade, reviewed their learning and growth experiences during their time at the school, expressed their gratitude to the school for their training, and said that they would be humble and studious in the future, adhere to the school motto, be down-to-earth, work hard, and write their thesis on the land of the motherland. On behalf of the current students, Wang Yifan, a student from the School of Finance, sent his sincere blessings to the seniors.

After the graduation ceremony, school leaders and all members of the school's degree evaluation committee awarded degrees to all undergraduate and master's graduates, straightened their tassels, and took photos with the students.

Britain's Attitude Is Clear: It Will Not Participate In The Attack And Agrees To The US Using Bases To Defend Iran

On March 2, British Prime Minister Starmer issued a statement in the House of Commons in London, the capital. Xinhua News Agency

On the evening of March 1, local time, the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany issued a joint statement, sending a strong signal that the three countries may take "necessary and proportionate defensive actions" against Iran. When "defensive action" becomes an option publicly discussed by the three European countries, Britain, France and Germany, this conflict is breaking through the original boundaries and may evolve from a local confrontation into a cross-regional crisis.

Britain will not participate and Germany will not criticize

In the context of the rapidly spreading war, British Prime Minister Starmer tried to draw a clear line for his position: British military bases can be opened for "specific and limited" defense purposes, but the UK will not participate in offensive strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran. Starmer issued a video statement stressing that the UK "did not participate in the initial strike against Iran and will not participate in offensive operations now." He said bluntly: "We all remember the mistakes made by Iraq and learned from them." This statement not only appeases domestic public opinion, but also sends a signal to the international community that the UK is unwilling to repeat the mistake of military intervention. However, Starmer also announced that the United Kingdom has agreed to the use of its military bases by the United States for "specific and limited defense purposes." He explained that the United States requested the use of British bases to prevent Iran from launching missiles in the region, avoid casualties of innocent civilians, and protect the safety of British citizens and troops stationed there.

According to British disclosures, the UK has approximately 200,000 citizens in the region and has armed forces deployed in the Gulf. Iran's retaliatory strikes against targets in many countries have put British personnel and assets at real risk. Starmer pointed out that Gulf partner countries have asked the UK to increase its defense efforts, and the UK has sent fighter jets to perform missions in the region and successfully intercepted Iranian attacks.

Previously, US President Trump had listed two bases in the UK as potential operational nodes, saying they could be used to respond to "potential attacks by highly unstable and dangerous regimes." The UK has rejected similar requests in the past, but its agreement this time was seen by the outside world as a clear adjustment in its position. However, according to people familiar with the matter, the scope of the U.S. request is more limited than before, and the focus is on curbing Iran's retaliation against its Gulf allies rather than expanding the scope of the attack.

At the same time, German Chancellor Mertz refused to publicly criticize U.S. actions, emphasizing that Europe still needs U.S. support on the Russia-Ukraine issue. Trump's ally, US Republican Senator Graham, publicly criticized Britain, France and Germany for not supporting the air strikes more clearly, believing that Europe was "refusing to help the Iranian people." Under the intertwining pressures, Starmer's statement showed a typical balancing strategy: finding space between security reality and political restraint, and drawing a line between alliance obligations and avoiding involvement in war. However, as the situation continues to escalate, it is still unclear whether this line can be maintained in the long term.

EU diplomacy takes priority, NATO sends signal

While Britain, France and Germany released signals of "defensive action", the EU level also responded quickly. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas issued a statement saying that Brussels is following developments in Iran and the Middle East with "great concern", urging all parties to de-escalate the conflict and calling for "maximum restraint, protection of civilians, and full respect for international law." The statement also pointed out that Iran's attacks on the sovereignty of many countries in the region are "unacceptable" and warned that the Middle East faces "huge losses in a long war." In terms of wording, the EU not only emphasizes avoiding the expansion of the conflict, but also does not shy away from condemning Iran's military actions. The EU said it would continue to "protect the EU's security and interests, including through further sanctions," reiterated its diplomatic goal to "prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons" and urged it to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

European Commission President von der Leyen also launched intensive diplomatic communications. She spoke with Qatar's emir (head of state) Tamim to discuss the consequences of the Iranian attack and said "Qatar can rely on strong European solidarity." Von der Leyen warned that the risk of further escalation was "real" and that Iran needed "a credible transitional phase that can restore stability and pave the way for a lasting solution," while stressing the need to curb Iran's military nuclear missile program.

At the same time, in terms of security deployment, the EU decided to send two more French ships to join the EU Red Sea escort operation, the EU Navy's "Operation Aspides", bringing the total number of participating warships to five to deal with the threat that Iran's retaliatory actions may pose to maritime traffic. Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tajani said that the EU will continue to speak out during the transition phase of the conflict and confirmed that it will continue to implement operations "Aspides" and "Attalanta" while coordinating the protection and evacuation of European citizens in the area.

Judging from its public statements, the EU's tone is restraint and diplomacy first; from an operational perspective, measures such as increasing the navy's deployment, adjusting its military strength, and coordinating the evacuation of overseas Chinese have been simultaneously advanced. The parallel calls for diplomacy and security deployment demonstrate Europe's dual-track strategy between "avoiding war" and "preparing for war."

In addition, NATO also sent a clear signal. Glinkevich, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said that he is "paying close attention" to the development of the situation in Iran and the Middle East and will adjust the deployment of troops as needed to defend against potential threats that may come from ballistic missiles or drones. NATO said it will continue to adjust its force posture to ensure the security of its 32 member countries.

At this stage, the possibility of Britain, France and Germany directly participating in the war is still lower than that of the United States, but the risk of "indirect involvement" is rising. First of all, the UK has allowed the US to use bases to carry out operations against Iran's missile capabilities. Once relevant actions trigger larger-scale retaliation, it will be difficult for the UK to completely cut off from the conflict. Secondly, the EU's military presence in the Red Sea and the Gulf continues to strengthen. If European ships or personnel are attacked, political pressure may escalate quickly. Third, NATO has begun to adjust its defense posture. Once any member state suffers a substantive attack, it is very likely that NATO's Article 5 collective defense clause will be triggered. This not only means that the alliance will initiate mutual defense obligations, but may also push NATO as a whole into a more direct military conflict, further escalating the situation.

Within Europe, there is overall caution about whether to directly participate in military operations against Iran. The historical shadow left by the Iraq War has not yet dissipated, coupled with the domestic political pressures faced by Britain, France and Germany, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine still occupy a strategic priority, the three countries are generally unwilling to be dragged into this new battlefield in the Middle East. Therefore, the more likely path for Britain, France and Germany is to expand the scope of defensive operations, strengthen sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and provide logistical and intelligence support, rather than actively participating in a comprehensive attack on Iran's homeland. However, whether the line of "defensive support rather than offensive engagement" can be maintained in the long term will depend on two variables: the intensity of Iranian retaliation, and the duration of U.S. actions. Once either side breaks through the existing restraint framework, the probability of Britain, France and Germany being passively involved in the war will inevitably and rapidly expand.
