Core Viewpoint - The current investment landscape is characterized by a new economic cycle, with significant shifts in macroeconomic analysis, particularly the need to focus on country-specific dynamics rather than solely on the US economy [2][25]. Group 1: Major Challenges in Asset Allocation - The first challenge is the misalignment of global economic cycles, where non-US developed countries' monetary policies diverge significantly from the US, influenced by de-globalization and supply chain restructuring [23][24]. - The second challenge is the decline in long-duration risk returns, driven by prolonged monetary easing in the US and increased demand for long-term bonds in China due to economic transformation and aging demographics [26][27]. - The third challenge is the simultaneous volatility of stocks and bonds in overseas markets, necessitating a greater allocation to counter-cyclical assets like gold for risk hedging [29].
