Xin Lang Cai Jing·2025-12-18 01:08Core Viewpoints - The characteristics of trading driven by overseas macro events have become evident this year, with increased radiation and linkage to the domestic market. The focus has shifted from being primarily economy-driven to multiple channels including economy, geopolitics, AI industry trends, and global liquidity [1][5][36] - Four main paths of overseas influence on the domestic market need close attention in the coming year: external demand affecting profit expectations, AI chains contributing to market hotspots, reduced geopolitical risks, and positive impacts of overseas liquidity and RMB appreciation on domestic assets [1][20][59] Group 1: Overseas Influence on Domestic Market - Despite the impact of tariffs, China's export growth has remained robust, with a cumulative year-on-year increase of 5.4% in export value for the first 11 months, and a trade surplus increase of 21%. Net exports contributed 29% to GDP, surpassing the 17.5% contribution from investment [5][43] - The global economic outlook suggests a dual easing of fiscal and monetary policies, providing strong support for domestic growth through external demand. The structural shift in exports towards Africa and ASEAN has effectively countered declines in exports to the US [5][43][54] - Domestic enterprises are actively expanding into overseas markets, potentially creating a second growth curve, with leading companies likely to break through first. China's foreign direct investment is expected to reach nearly $200 billion in 2024, contrasting with a decline in global FDI [7][45] Group 2: Geopolitical Changes - Geopolitical changes are expected to influence market risk preferences in the short term and the restructuring of global order in the long term. China's response to trade tensions has demonstrated strategic resolve, and the market is becoming less sensitive to US tariff policies [10][49] - The trend towards regional integration and de-dollarization is accelerating, with a focus on self-sufficient supply chains. This context reduces tail risks and enhances the strategic value of scarce resources and capital goods [10][49] Group 3: AI Industry Trends - The AI wave has generated hotspots in the domestic market, primarily impacting hardware profitability and leading to valuation increases in applications. The market has experienced two rounds of AI-related trends this year, with a focus on hardware profitability and the need for actual earnings realization [12][51] - As overseas AI investments deepen, their influence is beginning to spill over into other asset classes, with a shift from "chip shortages" to "electricity shortages" becoming evident. This shift is expected to increase demand for power equipment and copper [13][52] Group 4: Monetary Policy and Currency Trends - The Federal Reserve's easing cycle, narrowing of the US-China interest rate differential, and gradual appreciation of the RMB are favorable for domestic asset performance. The trade surplus remains high, and the willingness of enterprises to convert currency has increased significantly [15][54] - The RMB is expected to continue appreciating, supported by a substantial potential for currency conversion funds and the anticipated further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the coming year [15][54] Group 5: Market Conditions and Recommendations - The domestic bond market is facing redemption pressures, with skepticism about the long-term interest rate support. The market is expected to experience volatility, with a focus on short- to medium-term credit bonds as relatively safe choices [39][60] - In the stock market, there is a consensus expectation for a spring rally, but the lack of earnings support may limit upward potential. Key sectors to watch include technology growth, commercial aerospace, and robotics, alongside cyclical and resource sectors [39][62]
