On March 9th, while the three major indices experienced a collective adjustment, large-cap blue-chip "cash cow" stocks demonstrated independent strength. Core sectors of "HALO assets," such as energy, coal, and electricity, saw powerful gains. As of 10:27, the "HALO-rich" 300 Cash Flow Index led major cash flow indices with an intraday increase of 1.48%. Among ETFs, the 300 Cash Flow ETF (562080), which tracks the 300 Cash Flow Index and is the largest and most liquid* of its kind, rose 1.63% during the session, with real-time trading volume surpassing 58 million yuan.
In terms of constituent stocks, energy shares led the gains. CNOOC and Baofeng Energy hit the daily limit-up, while Chint Electric and PetroChina showed strong performance, rising 8.59% and 8.05% respectively. Additionally, Satellite Chemical and Shaanxi Coal Industry rose over 5%, NARI Technology Corporation gained over 3%, and other large-cap blue-chip "cash cows" like Muyuan Foods, Aluminum Corporation of China, and Zhejiang Zheneng Electric Power advanced over 1%.
On the news front, the near-halt of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a chain reaction of production cuts among Middle Eastern oil producers, placing significant pressure on global energy supply. The UAE announced adjustments to its offshore production levels to address storage needs. Kuwait's production cuts are expected to widen to 300,000 barrels per day. J.P. Morgan stated that the "wave of shutdowns" among Middle Eastern oil producers is spreading rapidly, and a full shutdown could potentially drive oil prices up by $30.
Driven by a combination of short-term geopolitical events and the medium-term reassessment of "HALO" assets, the 300 Cash Flow Index is experiencing a "highlight moment." Public information shows that the 300 Cash Flow Index excludes financials and real estate, representing a pure play on core HALO assets. The combined weighting of energy, materials, industrials, transportation, utilities, and consumer staples is 67.27%, aligning closely with the "heavy asset, low obsolescence" logic defined by top global investment banks.
Investors might consider using the 300 Cash Flow ETF (562080) and its feeder fund (Class A 024367 / Class C 024368) to conveniently allocate to "cash cow" stocks within the CSI 300 that are capable of navigating economic cycles and capture the opportunities presented by this round of HALO asset reassessment.
