Overseas Macro: US Priority, Soft Landing-Reinflation-Gradual Recession - Core conclusion: The US is expected to achieve a soft landing, with reflation trades potentially resurfacing in Q1 2025, driven more by price increases than demand improvement. The focus is on Trump's policies, inflation, and the pace of rate cuts [3][4] - US Treasury yields are expected to peak, with opportunities arising after a potential reversal. US stock market volatility may increase, with a focus on tech growth and rate cut trades. The dollar is expected to remain strong, awaiting a turning point in US Treasury yields [4] - Gold is recommended for low-level allocation, with attention on the excess returns of Shanghai gold [4] Domestic Macro: Focus on Domestic Demand Expansion and Price Stabilization - Policy logic: The focus is on resolving existing risks (debt resolution, stabilizing real estate, injecting capital into major banks) and then exploring potential growth areas (fiscal growth, real estate reserves, consumption, innovation, and reform) [5] - Macro cycle: Policy, financial, and economic bottoms have already appeared, with inventory and inflation bottoms yet to be confirmed. Key indicators to watch include M1, inventory, and PPI [5] - Potential support: Slight recovery in local infrastructure after debt resolution, stabilization of real estate after reserve measures, consumption recovery after policy implementation, and technological innovation driven by AI+ [5] A股 Market Trend: W-shaped Movement, Valuation-Market-Performance Bottom Consolidation - Review: In 2024, the A股 market experienced a decline followed by a recovery, with a "dumbbell strategy" outperforming.

Credit card delinquency rates are approaching 2008 highs [129][130] - High interest rates are increasing the cost of debt repayment, with interest payments as a share of disposable income and savings at high levels [133][134] Corporate Sector: Debt Refinancing Peak Approaching - Corporate debt refinancing is expected to peak in Q1 2025, with companies facing higher interest costs as the safety cushion from low-rate debt issuance diminishes [136][138] - Corporate debt metrics remain healthy, with interest coverage ratios still high. However, refinancing at higher rates could increase costs [139][140] - Bankruptcy rates for both companies and households remain stable, indicating a soft landing for the US economy [145][146] Trump's Policy Impact: Immigration, Tariffs, and Energy - Trump's policies are expected to prioritize immigration and tariffs, with potential impacts on labor markets and inflation.
