汇丰银行环球投资研究大中华区首席经济学家刘晶表示，新型政策性金融工具或将继续发挥"准财政"工 具的作用，2026年或仍有继续降息20个基点的空间，并可能降准50个基点。 中新社北京1月7日电 (陶思阅)2026年中国人民银行工作会议近日召开，会议释放了一系列政策信号。中 国央行表示，2026年继续实施适度宽松的货币政策，加大逆周期和跨周期调节力度，提升金融服务实体 经济高质量发展质效。 围绕货币政策，会议作出一系列部署：把促进经济高质量发展、物价合理回升作为货币政策的重要考 量，灵活高效运用降准降息等多种货币政策工具，保持流动性充裕，保持社会融资条件相对宽松，引导 金融总量合理增长、信贷投放均衡，使社会融资规模、货币供应量增长同经济增长和价格总水平预期目 标相匹配。 在东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青看来，2026年中国央行或主要通过下调政策利率、结构性货币政策工具 利率和个人住房公积金贷款利率，来引导企业和居民贷款利率下行。 这意味着2026年居民房贷利率、消费贷利率和经营贷利率都有下调空间，政府和企业债券融资成本也会 跟进下调。王青预计，2026年中国央行或将降息两次，降息幅度在20至30个基点。 高盛近期的报 ...

Group 1 - The core value of central bank meeting minutes lies in revealing policymakers' assessments of economic growth, inflation levels, and employment markets, which directly influence market expectations regarding interest rate trends, a key driver of exchange rate pricing [1] - If the minutes indicate hawkish signals such as "high inflation pressure" or "need to tighten monetary policy further," it suggests a high probability of interest rate hikes, attracting international capital inflow and leading to currency appreciation [2] - Conversely, if the minutes emphasize weak economic growth or that inflation has returned to target levels, it signals potential interest rate cuts or increased monetary easing, reducing the attractiveness of domestic assets and suppressing currency value [4] Group 2 - The minutes also reveal policy disagreements among committee members, which can lead to short-term volatility in exchange rates; a consensus among members leads to stable market expectations, while significant disagreement increases uncertainty and volatility [6] - If the minutes indicate a close vote between rate hike proponents and those favoring cuts, it may result in significant fluctuations in exchange rates until new economic data or policy signals clarify the direction [6] - The market's understanding of the central bank's policy response function, influenced by the minutes, affects exchange rate pricing; for instance, if inflation data is highlighted as a core adjustment indicator, subsequent inflation releases will become critical for exchange rate movements [7] Group 3 - The impact of the meeting minutes on exchange rates also depends on the deviation from market expectations; if the content aligns with prior expectations, the effect is limited, but unexpected hawkish or dovish signals can lead to significant exchange rate movements [9] - Meeting minutes from major central banks like the Federal Reserve or European Central Bank have a more pronounced effect on global exchange rates compared to those from smaller economies [9]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Domestic macro - narrative is positive with rising expectations of incremental monetary policy. The fundamentals of the industrial chain have improved, there is a demand for iron ore replenishment, and supply is entering the off - season. However, the price increase is limited by the industrial chain profit. It is expected to be mainly volatile in the short term [2][3]. - The expected high - price range is 810 - 820 yuan/ton, corresponding to the outer - disk (FE02) price of about 105.5 - 107.5 US dollars/ton. The strategy is range operation and covered call options [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Macro - aspect - Domestic monetary and fiscal policies are in an active reserve period. The start of the Fed's interest - rate cut cycle boosts commodities. The industrial chain is in a weak - balance stage with prices maintaining a narrow - fluctuation trend. This is because the inventory pressure at the finished - product end is continuously relieved, the industrial chain valuation rebounds, the strong spot price of iron ore supports the market, and steel mills have entered the replenishment cycle [2]. Supply - The year - end phased volume - rush of mainstream mines' shipments has ended, and the weekly shipment volume has dropped significantly. Outer - mine shipments will enter the seasonal off - season, and domestic ore supply is also in the off - season. Overall, the supply - side support is getting stronger [2]. Demand - Domestic demand is continuously rising slightly. The profitability of steel mills has rebounded after the decline in carbon - element prices. There are both blast - furnace overhauls and restarts. Some overhauled blast furnaces in Hebei and Shanxi will restart at the end of the month. In general, domestic steel - mill demand has a short - term upward trend, and the pre - holiday replenishment cycle is about to start, with replenishment demand expected to be continuously released [3]. Inventory - The imported inventory at the steel - mill end has increased month on month, but it is still at the lowest level in the same period in recent years. Attention should be paid to when the full - scale replenishment of US - dollar goods by steel mills will start. Port inventory has been continuously accumulating due to the relatively high arrival volume, and it is expected that port inventory will continue to accumulate in December [3].

与美联储的政策摇摆不同，瑞士央行则坚守政策稳定性。继2025年连续两次维持关键政策利率在0%不 变后，路透社调查显示，绝大多数经济学家预计瑞士央行在2026全年仍将维持利率在零水平。尽管瑞士 2025年11月CPI同比降至0%的政策目标下限，央行还将2026年通胀预期从0.5%下调至0.3%，但明确表 态回归负利率的门槛极高，因负利率存在"不良副作用"。值得注意的是，瑞士央行在2025年三季度曾买 入7500万瑞士法郎外汇以减缓瑞郎升值节奏，但干预力度有限，未改变瑞郎的强势格局。 经济基本面与贸易环境的变化，进一步强化了美瑞汇率的分化格局。瑞士经济展现出较强韧性，2025年 三季度GDP虽受制药行业拖累收缩，但制造业和服务业增长形成有效对冲，央行预计全年增速略低于 1.5%。更关键的是，2025年11月美瑞贸易协议生效，美国对瑞士商品关税从39%大幅降至15%，显著缓 解出口压力，为瑞郎提供基本面支撑。同时，瑞士2025年12月KOF经济领先指标升至103.4，创下自 2024年9月以来的最高水平，预示经济前景向好。而美元端则承压明显，2025年美元指数累计下跌约 9%，2026年1月6日亚洲交易时段，美元指 ...
