美联储降息！最该买的3类资产揭秘...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate to a range of 4.00%-4.25%, indicating the start of a global easing trend, which will impact various asset prices and investment strategies [1][5]. Group 1: Impact on Different Asset Classes - Historical data from 1970 shows that during global easing cycles, the return hierarchy is: equities > gold > bonds > US dollar > other commodities [5]. - In the context of the US economy, the prevailing view on Wall Street is a mild recession, with the current rate cut being termed as "preemptive" to ensure a soft landing [5][6]. Group 2: A-shares and H-shares - A-shares and H-shares have experienced six instances of Federal Reserve rate cuts, with three being "preemptive" (1995, 1998, 2019), showing inconsistent market responses [6]. - For example, during the 1995 rate cut, the Shanghai Composite Index initially rose but then fell significantly, while in 1998, it showed a clear upward trend [7]. - The H-share market tends to respond more positively to rate cuts due to its sensitivity to US dollar liquidity, benefiting from the influx of capital when the Fed eases [10]. Group 3: Bonds - Bonds generally appreciate during rate cut cycles, with long-term bonds showing more significant gains compared to short-term ones [8]. - The logic is straightforward: a rate cut leads to lower bond yields, which in turn raises bond prices [8][17]. Group 4: Gold - While many factors influence gold prices, historical evidence suggests that "preemptive" rate cuts have a limited impact on gold, although its financial and anti-inflation properties remain strong [12]. Group 5: US Stocks - Historically, during five instances of "preemptive" rate cuts, major US stock indices have generally risen, with an average increase of over 17% across various periods [15][16]. - The most recent preemptive cut in 2019 saw modest gains in major indices, indicating that while returns can be positive, they may vary significantly based on economic conditions [15]. Group 6: US Dollar Index - The relationship between rate cuts and the US dollar index is complex; while rate cuts can reduce the dollar's attractiveness, a stronger US economy can still support a rising dollar [20][21]. - Historical data shows mixed results for the dollar index during rate cut cycles, with three instances of decline and one of increase [22].
