【广发资产研究】流动性宽松延续，A股关注弹性——全球大类资产追踪双周报（9月第二期）

Global Macro Trends - The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points on September 18, leading to structural differentiation in global asset prices, with risk assets performing strongly overall but with notable differences among categories. Gold and U.S. stocks reached new highs, while Bitcoin experienced a significant decline [3][9]. - Economic data released on September 15 indicated a marginal slowdown in China's macroeconomic growth, with industrial output, retail sales, and fixed asset investment all showing slight declines compared to previous values, suggesting ongoing pressure on the economic fundamentals and increasing the likelihood of future easing policies [3][9]. Asset Allocation Strategy - The "Global Barbell Strategy" is recommended as the optimal response to the evolving investment paradigm characterized by three underlying logics: intensified de-globalization, misalignment of debt cycles, and trends in AI industries. This strategy includes allocations to Chinese government bonds, U.S. short-term treasuries, Chinese convertible bonds, Southeast Asian equities, high-dividend and high-growth Chinese stocks, and gold [4][12]. - A tactical approach suggests that the A-share market is driven by domestic funds, similar to the microcosm of the 2014-2015 market, characterized by weak economic conditions, low interest rates, and supportive policies. The strategy involves reducing high-dividend allocations and increasing exposure to more elastic assets [5][12]. Key Economic Indicators - The report highlights several key economic indicators and events, including the upcoming release of China's official and Caixin manufacturing PMIs, U.S. ADP employment changes, and Eurozone CPI data, all of which are deemed important for market participants [15][16]. - The Citigroup U.S. Economic Surprise Index has been positive but shows a declining trend, indicating that recent economic reports have been weaker than market expectations [21][23]. Financial Conditions - The U.S. financial conditions index has improved, reflecting a more relaxed overall financial environment, while the SOFR-OIS spread has widened, indicating some tightening in dollar liquidity [4][26]. - The report notes an increase in expectations for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in October and December, driven by ongoing economic uncertainties and policy adjustments [24][25]. Market Sentiment - The report emphasizes the importance of monitoring potential risks from overseas markets as the domestic holiday approaches, advising on risk control measures [3][9]. - The ongoing trend of household savings moving into the stock market is expected to favor thematic investments aligned with high-quality growth directions, with a focus on maintaining high liquidity and growth potential in the A-share market [5][12].
