Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - If Dalio's "ultimate battle" view becomes a consensus in the financial market, it will profoundly impact future global asset allocation. If the US fails to control the Strait of Hormuz, it will be negative for the US dollar, US Treasuries, and even the US stock market. Conversely, if the US seizes control of the Strait of Hormuz, it will be positive for the US dollar, US Treasuries, and support the valuation of the US stock market. The situation for gold is more complex. If the US seizes control, although inflation decline may restart interest rate cuts, it may not be sufficient to drive gold prices back into a continuous upward trend. If the US fails to control the strait, although the suspension of interest rate cuts will put short - term pressure on gold prices, the logic of reserve asset substitution may drive gold prices back up after inflation pressure is fully released [3]. Summary by Directory High - frequency Data Scanning - Dalio's "ultimate battle" view in the Strait of Hormuz, if it becomes a consensus, will affect global asset allocation. The US Marine Corps Expeditionary Force is expected to arrive in the Middle East in about a week and may seize Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In February, the foreign exchange market continued the late - January trend of a stronger US dollar and an even stronger RMB. The central parity rate of the RMB strengthened continuously, and the on - shore trading price appreciated faster. Attention should be paid to the negative impact of the appreciation on export enterprises [2][3] - Affected by the Spring Festival holiday, cross - border capital inflows continued to slow down, but the capital inflow under the goods trade item remained at a record high for the same period, continuing to play a leading role in cross - border capital flows. Capital under the securities investment item turned into a net outflow, and the decline in the scale of overseas holdings of domestic RMB bonds narrowed [2] - The gap between domestic foreign exchange supply and demand narrowed significantly month - on - month in February, which was related to the accelerated appreciation of the RMB and the weakened willingness of the market to settle foreign exchange. However, the willingness of market participants to settle foreign exchange in the spot and forward markets remained relatively strong, and the motivation to purchase foreign exchange was relatively weak, with the bank's foreign exchange settlement and sales surplus still at a high level [2] - To prevent the possible financial impact of RMB appreciation on export enterprises, it is necessary to continuously guide enterprises to further increase the proportion of RMB invoicing in cross - border trade [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Foreign Exchange Market Trends - At the end of February, the intensification of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East caused the US dollar index to rise, ending three consecutive months of decline. Against this background, the RMB exchange rate continued its appreciation trend. The central parity rate of the RMB strengthened continuously, and the on - shore RMB exchange rate trading price appreciated at an accelerated pace, reaching new highs [3] - On February 25th and 26th, the accelerated appreciation of the on - shore RMB exchange rate was accompanied by an increase in foreign exchange trading volume, indicating the emergence of a pro - cyclical herd effect. On February 27th, the central bank adjusted the foreign exchange risk reserve ratio for forward foreign exchange sales, causing the RMB exchange rate to slightly correct, but it still appreciated by 1.35% compared to the end of the previous month [4] - In February, the deviation of the "three prices" of the RMB exchange rate slightly increased. The on - shore spot exchange rate was stronger than the central parity rate for the third consecutive month, and the average daily deviation increased. The offshore spot exchange rate was generally stronger than the on - shore spot exchange rate, and the average daily deviation also increased [4] - The average value of the on - shore spot exchange rate rose for the sixth consecutive month. The average values of the spot exchange rate with a 3 - month and 5 - month lag increased for the twelfth and tenth consecutive months respectively, reaching new highs [5] - In February, the RMB exchange rate index rebounded. The CFETS RMB exchange rate index, the RMB exchange rate index referring to the BIS currency basket, and the RMB exchange rate index referring to the SDR currency basket all rose, reaching new highs [5] - The nominal effective exchange rate index of the RMB continued its appreciation trend since August 2025, and the real effective exchange rate index continued its upward trend since July 2025, narrowing the cumulative decline in the real effective exchange rate of the RMB since April 2022 [5] 3.2 Cross - border Capital Flows - In February, the surplus of banks' foreign - related receipts and payments on behalf of customers decreased from $82.1 billion in the previous month to $35.6 billion, but it was still a record high for the same period. The surplus of foreign - currency foreign - related receipts and payments decreased, and the deficit of RMB foreign - related receipts and payments increased [11] - Under the goods trade item, the surplus of foreign - related receipts and payments decreased month - on - month, mainly due to a larger decrease in foreign - related income than in expenditure. However, both foreign - related income and export volume under the goods trade item were at record highs for the same period, with year - on - year growth [12] - Under the securities investment item, foreign - related income ended three consecutive months of growth, and the item turned into a net outflow. The scale of foreign - related income and expenditure remained at a high level, indicating high activity of cross - border capital under the securities investment item. The holdings of domestic RMB bonds by overseas institutions continued to decrease, but the decline significantly narrowed [17] 3.3 Domestic Foreign Exchange Supply and Demand - In February, the bank's spot and forward (including options) foreign exchange settlement and sales had a surplus for the twelfth consecutive month, and the surplus scale narrowed for the second consecutive month but was still at a relatively high level. The average daily surplus scale also decreased [21] - The surplus of banks' foreign exchange settlement and sales on behalf of customers decreased, the net forward and option foreign exchange settlement scale decreased, and the deficit of banks' own foreign exchange settlement and sales increased [21] - After excluding the forward performance amount, the exchange settlement rate of foreign exchange receipts decreased for the second consecutive month, and the exchange purchase rate of foreign exchange payments increased slightly. The exchange settlement rate was at a new high for the same period in the past three years, and the exchange purchase rate was at a new low for the same period in the past four years [24] - The cumulative outstanding net forward foreign exchange settlement amount on behalf of customers by banks increased for the eighth consecutive month, reaching a record high. The forward foreign exchange settlement demand was relatively strong, and the forward foreign exchange purchase demand further weakened [24] 3.4 Special Topic: Increasing the Proportion of RMB Invoicing - The appreciation of the RMB may have a negative impact on export enterprises. From the perspective of the exchange gains and losses of non - financial listed companies in the A - share market, in years when the RMB exchange rate appreciated significantly, many listed companies suffered exchange losses [34] - There is a common misunderstanding that RMB settlement is equivalent to RMB invoicing. Even if an enterprise uses the RMB for cross - border settlement, if there are foreign - currency - denominated receipts, payments, assets, or liabilities, it may still face exchange rate risks [35] - According to statistics, the proportion of RMB invoicing in cross - border trade in Russia and Mongolia is relatively high, but in other countries and regions, the proportion is significantly lower. The average proportion of RMB invoicing in exports and imports in all countries and regions in the dataset in 2023 was far lower than that of the US dollar and the euro [36] - It is estimated that the proportion of RMB invoicing in China's cross - border trade in 2023 was about 10%, significantly lower than the RMB settlement share. The current policy goal is to maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate, and it is necessary to guide enterprises to increase the proportion of RMB invoicing in cross - border trade [38] - Financial institutions should adhere to the principle of "giving priority to the domestic currency", provide comprehensive RMB financial services to foreign - trade enterprises, and improve the convenience of cross - border RMB use. Enterprises should also enhance their industrial competitiveness to support the continuous increase in the proportion of RMB invoicing [39]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Fed is trying to maintain policy stability in an uncertain environment. The dot - plot keeps the median number of rate cuts this year unchanged, and the SEP shows a relatively robust judgment on economic resilience. Statements about inflation reflect a prudent attitude rather than a clear shift. However, in the current weak market sentiment, these statements are more likely to be interpreted as hawkish signals. After the meeting, market expectations for the rate - cut path have significantly converged, with the probability of no rate cut by December rising to 51% and the next rate - cut postponed to March 2027. Given the new Fed Chair's short - term dovish tendency, there is still a considerable chance of a rate cut this year, and the current pricing of less than 50% is over - reactive [6] 3. Summary by Related Contents 3.1 Meeting Overview - The Fed's March FOMC meeting kept the interest rate unchanged at 3.50% - 3.75% as expected. The overall tone was hawkish, as the weight of inflation constraints in the Fed's policy reaction function increased due to energy - shock uncertainties [1] 3.2 Meeting Statement - The statement had limited changes. Descriptions of the economy and inflation remained the same, and the description of the unemployment rate shifted from "signs of stabilization" to "little changed in recent months". The only substantial addition was that the impact of Middle - East developments on the US economy was uncertain, providing a reason for the Fed's wait - and - see attitude but not a one - way policy guide - In the voting, only Miran dissented and called for a 25 - basis - point rate cut, making the situation slightly more hawkish than market expectations [5] 3.3 Economic Forecast (SEP) and Dot - Plot - The median of the dot - plot still maintains the interest - rate path of one rate cut each in this and next year. The long - term dot - plot has moved up due to increased productivity, raising the end - point of the rate - cut cycle. The dot - plot distribution is more hawkish than in December last year, with dovish - inclined officials generally moving towards "fewer rate cuts" - The SEP prices in a combination of "supply shock plus economic resilience", with upward revisions to inflation and growth and a flat unemployment rate. Powell tried to downplay the importance of this SEP [5] 3.4 Press Conference - **Inflation and Rate - Cut Conditions**: A large part of this year's inflation decline depends on the fading of the one - time impact of tariffs. The Fed mainly focuses on the decline in commodity inflation. Housing - service inflation is falling as expected, core - commodity inflation is expected to fade by mid - year, and non - housing - service inflation is also expected to decline as the labor market cools. The current interest - rate level is at a critical point. Further rate cuts require a substantial decline in inflation. If inflation lacks substantial progress, the Fed will not cut rates. The meeting also discussed the scenario of a possible rate hike, but most participants do not consider it the base case [7] - **Employment Situation**: The current unemployment rate is stable. Powell downplayed the negative February non - farm payroll data, stating that the overall performance in January and February was not bad, and February was mainly affected by short - term factors such as strikes and weather. The committee is concerned about the low level of employment growth, with the actual net new private - sector jobs close to zero in the past six months [7] - **Productivity and Inflation**: Powell refuted the market narrative that "AI boosting productivity will bring immediate disinflation". In the short term, large - scale data - center construction will put upward pressure on prices and may push up the neutral interest rate. In the long term, AI has the potential to be disinflationary, but the Fed will wait and see [7] - **Refutation of Stagflation**: Powell emphasized that the current situation is not stagflation like in the 1970s. The US economic growth forecast has been revised upward, the unemployment rate is close to normal, and inflation is only slightly above the target. The real challenge is the trade - off between inflation - upward and employment - downward risks [7] - **Communication Mechanism**: Powell responded to Warsh's criticism of the communication mechanism, stating that the change of the communication strategy has not gained broad consensus among the committee. Economic forecasts and dot - plots have no policy - binding force, and Fed officials will adjust flexibly according to economic dynamics [7] - **Succession Issue**: Powell stated that if the successor is not confirmed before his term ends, he will serve as the acting chairman until the new chairman is confirmed. He also has no intention to leave the council before the judicial investigation is fully transparent and completed. Whether to continue serving as a council member after the term and the end of the investigation has not been decided [7]
