淡水泉陶冬：2026年，系好安全带，资产为王

Core Viewpoint - The core survival principle for 2026 is summarized as "assets are king," emphasizing the importance of asset management in a complex economic landscape [2]. Group 1: Economic Landscape - The global economy is described as being in a "delicate eye of the storm," with significant volatility expected due to geopolitical uncertainties and structural contradictions [2]. - The K-shaped economic recovery is highlighted, where high-income individuals benefit from stock and real estate markets, while low-income groups face rising living costs, leading to a disparity in economic experiences [7][8]. - This K-shaped development is not only present in the U.S. but also in Japan and Europe, where ordinary citizens feel the pinch of rising prices despite macroeconomic improvements [7]. Group 2: Monetary Policy and Federal Reserve - The Federal Reserve is anticipated to undergo significant leadership changes in 2026, which may lead to shifts in monetary policy, particularly under political pressure for lower interest rates [11]. - There is a prediction that the Fed may abandon its inflation target and lower policy rates to support the economy, potentially leading to a return to quantitative easing [11][12]. Group 3: AI and Technology - The concept of an "AI inflection point" is introduced, indicating a critical moment for the technology sector, with concerns about overinvestment and the sustainability of business models [15]. - The potential for a significant adjustment in the AI sector is noted, with a focus on companies that can translate technology into real commercial value [15][16]. - Differences in AI development paths between the U.S. and China are highlighted, with the U.S. focusing on market-driven models and China leveraging government support for broader applications [16]. Group 4: Fiscal Capitalism - The term "fiscal capitalism" is used to describe the current economic model, where government fiscal policies drive economic activity, often leading to excessive credit issuance [19]. - The rise in gold and silver prices is interpreted as a market response to distrust in fiat currencies, with expectations for continued demand due to structural factors [20]. Group 5: Geopolitical Dynamics - A cautious optimism is expressed regarding geopolitical risks in 2026, with a shift in U.S. foreign policy towards "hemisphericism," focusing on domestic issues and regional control [22]. - This strategic shift may reduce immediate geopolitical tensions but could create new challenges in energy pricing and supply chains, particularly affecting relations with China [22].
