离岸人民币兑美元升破6.97，创2023年5月以来新高，行业如何配置？

Core Viewpoint - The offshore RMB has appreciated against the US dollar, surpassing 6.97, reaching a high of 6.9678, the highest since May 2023 [1] Group 1: Impact of RMB Appreciation - The appreciation of the RMB is expected to reverse capital flows, including domestic funds waiting to be settled abroad and previously withdrawn foreign funds, potentially leading to a significant capital inflow into Chinese assets [3] - Historical data shows that during previous RMB appreciation cycles since 2016, both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks generally experienced gains [3] - The current macro environment is characterized by "domestic fundamentals improving + overseas easing," which may enhance the upward elasticity of Hong Kong stocks compared to A-shares [3] Group 2: Industry Configuration Logic - Four key logic points for industry configuration during RMB appreciation include: 1. Lower import costs benefiting upstream resource sectors such as coal, steel, and certain chemicals [4] 2. Decreased foreign currency debt costs benefiting industries with significant USD liabilities, including real estate and logistics [4] 3. Increased domestic purchasing power benefiting consumption-driven sectors like cross-border e-commerce and high-end services [4] 4. Attraction of foreign capital back to Chinese assets, with a shift in foreign investment preferences potentially reinforcing current market trends [4] Group 3: Key Sectors to Watch - Focus on sectors benefiting from changing foreign investment preferences and strong domestic consensus, including AI hardware, advanced manufacturing, and non-ferrous metals [5] - Upstream resource sectors benefiting from rising PPI and reduced import costs, such as steel and chemicals [5] - Service and high-end consumption sectors benefiting from improved domestic purchasing power, including duty-free and e-commerce [5] - Industries with reasonable valuations and potential for marginal improvement in 2024, such as aviation, paper, and logistics [5] Group 4: Industry Performance Metrics - The projected net profit growth rates for various sectors by 2026 and Q3 2025 indicate high growth potential in communication electronics, battery manufacturing, and certain chemical sectors [6] - Specific industries like steel and logistics show varying degrees of recovery potential, with some facing challenges while others are positioned for growth [6]
