[Analysis: Fed Rate Hike Leans Toward Prevention, A-Share Risk Appetite Expected to Recover] According to a report by Jinse Finance, the A-share market maintained a volatile consolidation pattern over the past week. Major overseas macro events, such as the Middle East geopolitical conflict driving up international oil prices and the rapid rise in expectations for a Fed rate hike in September, have disrupted market sentiment. In response, brokerage strategy outlook reports predict that the baseline scenario for this week's Federal Reserve meeting is a 25 basis point rate hike. However, this hike is more inclined toward preventive tightening, causing short-term emotional disturbances in the market. Once the September Fed meeting concludes and overseas uncertainties gradually clear, the risk appetite for A-shares is expected to recover, ushering in a phased turnaround. (Shanghai Securities News)
