定量策略周观点总第163周：僵局已破，定局仍远-20250518

Group 1 - The core viewpoint indicates that the U.S.-China tariff negotiations are in three phases: the first phase is pessimistic, the second phase shows recovery, and the third phase remains a long-term "game" with a specific order and rhythm that should not be rushed. The progress and reduction of tariffs are better than market expectations, leading to significant inflows into U.S. stocks and improved market sentiment. Currently, comprehensive tariffs from the U.S. on China remain around 50% + 24% pending, suggesting that while the "deadlock has been broken," the "final outcome is still far off" [1] - In the context of major assets recovering to their April 3 highs, A-shares are expected to maintain a period of high-level fluctuations. The report suggests focusing less on indices and more on bottom-up performance opportunities, reducing chasing of rallies and preparing for the market in June and July [1][5] - The report ranks major asset classes for the third phase of tariffs, indicating that among QDII investable assets, German stocks are preferred over Japanese and Hong Kong stocks, followed by U.S. stocks and U.S. Treasuries. Gold is suggested for short-term trading opportunities around the 3100-3150 range [1][6] Group 2 - The A-share market is experiencing a strong rebound due to the easing of U.S.-China tariff agreements, but there is a risk of subsequent pullbacks as most broad indices have filled gaps from early April, limiting upward space. The report emphasizes a strong motivation for funds to realize gains [5][36] - The report highlights that the valuation of the CSI 300 has recovered to within one standard deviation, moving away from extreme undervaluation. It also notes that public fund positions have been adjusted downwards, and the market is expected to experience short-term fluctuations with a focus on structural opportunities in dividend stocks and sectors benefiting from domestic demand [5][36] - In the Hong Kong market, trading sentiment remains low, with net selling from southbound funds. The report indicates that the focus of increased buying is on defensive sectors, while technology stocks have seen significant net selling [39][40] Group 3 - The report indicates that the U.S. stock market is showing medium-level positions, with recent economic data being mixed and not supporting stagflation assumptions. The report suggests maintaining a wave trading strategy and being cautious about profit-taking [32][36] - The report notes that the Japanese stock market has seen a significant pullback, suggesting that investors should gradually take profits as the index approaches previous highs [33] - The report emphasizes that the overall sentiment in the Hong Kong market is pessimistic, with a shift towards defensive sectors and significant selling in technology stocks. The report also highlights the recent improvement in domestic economic fundamentals, which is favorable for the Hong Kong market [39][44] Group 4 - The report suggests a focus on high-dividend cash flow and small-cap technology stocks in the A-share market, indicating a "barbell" strategy for investment. It emphasizes the importance of sector selection, particularly in banking, electricity, innovative pharmaceuticals, and robotics [36][46] - The report indicates that the small-cap style is currently favored, with short-term market interest rates declining, benefiting small-cap performance. However, it warns of potential trading crowding risks in the CSI 2000 [47] - The report highlights the ongoing demand for gold as a hedge against tariffs and potential economic weakness in the U.S. in June, suggesting that gold remains a good choice for short-term trading opportunities [48]
