高盛认为，人民币汇率升值将带动中国股市上涨，每1%升值可推动股市上涨3%。在人民币走强的情况下，非必需消费品、房地产和券商股将表现优异。 在出口方面，中国对美国的直接贸易和收入敞口在过去十年中有所下降，美国市场在2024年约占中国出口的15%和上市公司收入的1.2%，而2017年分别为 19%和1.6%。 高盛外汇团队最近下调了美元兑人民币预测（意味着人民币升值），预期汇率将在3个月、6个月和12个月内分别达到7.20、7.10和7.00， 这意味着未来12个 月内将有3%的升值。 商务部官方消息，此前中美经贸高层会谈取得实质性进展，大幅降低双边关税水平，美方取消了共计91%的加征关税，中方相应取消了91%的反制关税；美方 暂停实施24%的"对等关税"，中方也相应暂停实施24%的反制关税。 据追风交易台信息，高盛在5月26日的报告中表示，本轮中美贸易冲突期间，人民币显示出极强的韧性，与2018年3月至2020年1月期间人民币兑美元贬值13% 不同，自4月2日以来，人民币兑美元升值了1%。 替代政策工具是更优解 对于本轮人民币保存韧性的原因，常见的解释包括： 央行的货币管理、中国出口部门相比2017年竞争力和多 ...
