Core Viewpoint - The market is currently focused on Trump's upcoming announcement of "reciprocal tariffs" and the non-farm employment data for March. There are indications that tariff details may still be adjusted at the last moment, but the market has begun to digest this information. The Hong Kong stock market appears to be desensitized to tariff news [1][2]. Group 1: Market Reactions - Unlike the previous trade war in 2018, where the Hong Kong stock market reacted negatively to tariff news, this time, after the announcement of Trump's new tariff policy, the US stock market declined while the Hang Seng Index performed well. This suggests a decoupling between the Hong Kong and US markets, indicating that the Hong Kong market has shown signs of desensitization [1][3][5]. - The upcoming implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" may serve as a new observation point for the market. Previously, the US market was highly concerned about tariffs, leading to negative performance. The question now is whether the market, having digested the tariff policy for some time, will see new variables emerge to gradually dominate market sentiment [5][6]. Group 2: Economic Indicators - The US dollar index has recently shown signs of bottoming out, while US Treasury yields have continued to decline, reaching near-year lows. This divergence suggests that the market still believes the tariff policy may lead to a "strong dollar," but rising risk aversion in the stock market has made bonds a safe haven [2][5]. - If the dollar strengthens, the actual effects of the tariffs may be partially offset, as imported goods are ultimately priced in dollars. Additionally, rising economic uncertainty may lead to more funds choosing US Treasuries as a safe harbor, potentially providing both capital gains and currency gains [5][6].
