中金 5 月数说资产 20250519 摘要 • 中国经济在 2025 年初经历反弹后，4 月和 5 月初显现疲软，需关注关税、 房地产及财政政策影响。广义基建投资同比增长 10.8%，设备更新相关制 造业投资也保持增长，但整体资本开支下滑，复苏面临挑战。 • 房地产市场呈现一季度向好，四五月份走弱的趋势，复苏依赖于杠杆效应， 需关注政府和私人部门加杠杆的意愿及收入提升的可持续性。4 月新房销 售面积和金额同比跌幅扩大，二手房成交量也呈边际走弱态势。 • 财政政策通过基建和设备更新等方式对冲经济下行压力，但财政资金支出 节奏较慢，影响房地产市场提振效果。4 月社融主要由政府发债推动，财 政存款同比增速超过 20%，需关注资金落地速度。 • 中美贸易关系有所改善，对美航运运价回升，但订单尚未完全转化为货运 量。关税在 4 月份造成较大影响，但可能在 5 月份减弱。未来需关注美国 关税豁免情况及二季度出口对未来需求的透支。 • 4 月金融数据显示信贷数据低于预期，新增贷款创同期新低，反映一季度 信贷投放透支及债务置换和关税影响。M2 增速上升主要来自非银存款增 加，M1 增速下降，整体信贷需求偏弱。 Q&A 4 ...
