■田鹏 过去一周，国际金价经历"过山车"式震荡。10月9日，伦敦现货黄金价格一度冲高至4059美元/盎司，创 下历史峰值，随后出现显著回调，单日收跌1.62%，报3976美元/盎司。不过，市场很快重拾升势。根据 资讯最新数据，截至10月12日记者发稿，伦敦现货黄金报价4017.85美元/盎司，较前一日上涨1.05%， 盘中最高触及4021.96美元/盎司；与此同时，纽约黄金期货表现更为强劲，单日涨幅达1.58%，收报 4035.5美元/盎司，刷新历史高点。 而回调后的快速反弹，也恰恰印证了金价背后多重长期支撑逻辑的坚实性。 首先，全球央行持续的购金行为为金价构筑坚实的"安全垫"。例如，国家外汇管理局10月7日发布数据 显示，9月末我国黄金储备为7406万盎司，环比增加4万盎司，为我国央行连续第11个月增持黄金。此 外，世界黄金协会数据显示，今年二季度全球央行净购金166吨，波兰、土耳其、卡塔尔等新兴市场央 行为主要买家。这背后是各国对美元信用弱化的应对，为金价上涨提供了长期动能。 其次，从货币政策周期来看，美联储降息周期已然开启。尽管市场对美联储降息节奏的预期可能反复， 但随着美国经济逐步承压，宽松进程的延续 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle is expected to transition through three phases: "fast-slow-fast," with significant implications for both domestic and international economic operations and asset performance [2][4][6]. Phase Summaries - **Phase 1 (2025Q4)**: Rapid rate cuts are anticipated due to the recent confirmation of rising inflation, with a focus on stabilizing growth over controlling inflation. The Fed may implement 3-4 consecutive rate cuts [2][4]. - **Phase 2 (2026H1)**: The pace of rate cuts is expected to slow as inflation continues to rise, necessitating a balance between growth and inflation risks. The Fed may halt balance sheet reduction to soothe financial markets [4][6]. - **Phase 3 (2026H2)**: Rate cuts may accelerate again, particularly with a potential change in Fed leadership towards a more dovish stance, and the impact of tariffs on inflation may diminish [4][6]. Economic Outlook - The U.S. economy is currently trending towards stagflation (declining growth with rising inflation), with a higher likelihood of stagflation than recession. However, a policy-driven recovery is anticipated at some point [8][10]. - A new market scenario of overheating (rising growth and inflation) could emerge if growth turns upward during inflationary periods [10][12]. Historical Context - An analysis of past Fed rate cut cycles indicates that the average time from the initiation of rate cuts to the growth upturn is approximately 12 months. The current cycle began in September 2024, suggesting a potential growth turning point is near [12][13]. - Key economic indicators follow a specific sequence during recovery phases, with housing data being a leading indicator, while employment data tends to lag behind growth indicators [13][14]. Market Implications - The current macroeconomic environment is conducive to a "loose trading" strategy, particularly in the context of U.S.-China liquidity resonance, which is expected to benefit various asset classes [17][18]. - October is projected to remain a favorable period for liquidity, with a continued focus on equities, particularly in China, as the market is expected to maintain a relatively high risk appetite [23][26]. Asset Allocation Recommendations - The company recommends an overweight position in A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and gold, while maintaining a standard allocation in U.S. and Chinese bonds. The focus should be on sectors with lower valuations and higher technological content, such as the ChiNext and Hang Seng Tech [23][26]. - Given the anticipated dollar depreciation, various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, gold, and commodities, are expected to perform well [23][26].

Core Viewpoint - Multiple banks have lowered USD deposit interest rates following the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut, leading to significant differences in rates among banks, prompting consumers to compare options carefully to maximize returns [1][2][3]. Group 1: Interest Rate Changes - The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut, bringing the federal funds rate target range to 4.00%-4.25%, marking the first cut since December 2024 [1]. - Following the Fed's announcement, banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered quickly adjusted their USD deposit rates, with HSBC offering 3% for 1-year deposits and 3.5% for 6-month deposits [3]. - Chinese banks have also followed suit, with rates for 1-year USD deposits dropping from a previous high of 5.2% to around 3% [3]. Group 2: Rate Comparison and Consumer Behavior - Consumers are encouraged to compare rates among banks, as even a small difference can lead to significant interest earnings; for example, a 1-year deposit of $50,000 at 3.3% yields $150 more than at 3.0% [4]. - Some smaller banks are still offering competitive rates, such as a city commercial bank with a 6-month USD deposit rate of 3.7% [3]. Group 3: Market Trends and Future Expectations - The trend of declining USD deposit rates is expected to continue as the Fed enters a rate-cutting cycle, making it unlikely for rates to remain high [2][6]. - Analysts predict further rate cuts by the Fed in upcoming meetings, with potential cumulative cuts of up to 75 basis points by the end of the year [7]. - The average annualized yield for USD wealth management products has decreased from 4.52% in January to 3.79% in September, indicating a clear downward trend in returns [7].
