Q&A 今年下半年宏观经济和政策的判断是什么？ 从上半年的经济数据来看，经济总量仍然偏稳，尤其是出口和工业生产，中国 制造业超出预期。然而，从结构上看，需求和供给分化较大，价格指标相对偏 低。内外需也存在分化。因此，下半年政策端将试图解决一些结构性问题，总 量上需要稳需求，尤其是地产消费方面。货币政策预计会进一步降息，各类政 策利率可能出现降息，也存在降准的可能性，货币政策将维持宽松。财政方面， 由于上半年经济数据较好，短期内加码财政的可能性不大，但七八月份的数据 非常关键，如果数据回落压力增大，我们估计九月、十月会有一些托底政策出 台。此外，下半年还需关注供给端的政策变化，从去年四季度开始讲，今年上 钢铁板块近期大涨受下游基建重大工程预期升温、稳增长政策方案及供 给端反内卷政策等因素影响。从供需和成本端分析，钢铁行业未来两年 存在确定性上行机会，推荐宝钢、中信特钢、华菱钢铁等龙头公司。 工程机械行业 7 月数据表现良好，内销持平略增，出口预计增长 10%以 上。雅砻江项目催化下，可分领域推荐掘进设备、土方设备、混凝土及 基础施工设备，徐工作为国企项目主要供应商受益程度较高。 半年的措施效果不明显，因此如果供 ...
