海外市场点评：市场对降息过于乐观了吗？

Group 1: Interest Rate Expectations - The market anticipates three interest rate cuts within the year and five by the end of 2026, according to CME's FedWatch tool[3] - The Federal Reserve's rate cut pace may be more complex than the market's linear expectations due to unaccounted input inflation from a weaker dollar[4] - A 10% depreciation of the dollar could increase U.S. imports to approximately $3.6 trillion and widen the trade deficit beyond $1.2 trillion, raising inflationary pressures[4] Group 2: Inflation Dynamics - Historical data indicates that a declining dollar often leads to increased input inflation, which may have a lagging effect on prices[5] - The U.S. CPI year-on-year low point likely occurred in April or May, with expectations for inflation to rise above 3% by year-end if monthly CPI growth remains around 0.2%[5] - The impact of tariffs on inflation may take time to manifest, complicating the inflation outlook further[4] Group 3: Demand Response to Rate Cuts - Rate cuts may not stimulate demand as effectively as anticipated, as evidenced by the slow recovery in the Eurozone despite over 200 basis points of cuts since 2024[6] - The wealth effect from rate cuts could differ this time, as a significant portion of U.S. Treasury bonds is now held by the private sector, potentially dampening the positive impact on asset values[6] - If the Fed's rate cuts are insufficient, the net financial cost for companies may actually increase, countering the intended benefits of lower rates[7]
