中美谈判超预期,市场为何不温不火? | 周度量化观察

Core Viewpoint - The recent US-China trade negotiations exceeded market expectations, yet the A-share and Hong Kong markets experienced a pullback, indicating a potential lack of investor confidence and concerns about future disruptions [2][6]. Market Performance - Following the US-China Geneva trade talks on May 12, the A-share and Hong Kong markets showed varying degrees of gains followed by declines, attributed to "profit-taking" and fears of renewed tensions in 90 days [2]. - Weekly average trading volume and financing buy-in amounts in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets showed a decline, with southbound capital experiencing a net sell-off of 8.68 billion yuan, marking the second occurrence this year [2]. Bond Market - The bond market exhibited a weak performance with fluctuations influenced by news, fundamentals, and liquidity. The announcement of reduced tariffs improved risk appetite but did not significantly alter bond pricing due to pre-existing market expectations [3]. - The liquidity environment shifted from loose to tight within the week, impacting bond market dynamics, particularly with the potential expiration pressure from reverse repos [3][7].

Overseas Market - The US stock market, particularly the Nasdaq 100, rose significantly after the US-China trade talks, indicating a positive reaction from global risk assets [4]. - The US inflation data showed slight underperformance against market expectations, suggesting that inflation pressures may not be immediate but could arise in the near future [4][9]. Industry Performance - In the A-share market, the beauty care, non-bank financials, and automotive sectors showed strong performance with weekly gains of 3.08%, 2.49%, and 2.40% respectively [19][21]. - The overall market sentiment remains cautious, with a focus on sectors that may benefit from domestic demand cycles, particularly in technology and consumer services [6][31].
