Group 1 - The Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions have systemic impacts on global asset pricing through liquidity expansion, interest rate transmission, and cross-border capital flows [1] - The report categorizes interest rate cut cycles into preventive cuts (to address economic slowdown risks) and rescue cuts (to respond to crises or recessions), highlighting the differences in market expectations and asset reactions [1] Group 2 - Equity assets respond to dollar rate cuts based on the nature of the cycle and economic fundamentals, showing a "liquidity first, earnings verification" transmission path with significant differentiation across market sectors [2] - In developed markets, U.S. stocks, particularly tech stocks, lead the rebound during preventive cut cycles, while during rescue cut cycles, markets experience phases of panic decline, liquidity recovery, and earnings recovery [3][4] - Emerging market stocks, particularly Chinese assets, show a pattern of "external catalysis, internal determination," with U.S. rate cuts alleviating depreciation pressure on the yuan and attracting foreign capital [5][6] Group 3 - Fixed income assets are core beneficiaries of dollar rate cut cycles, with performance differences arising from interest rate sensitivity, credit risk, and market liquidity [8] - U.S. Treasury yields exhibit a "short-end follows policy, long-end reflects expectations" characteristic, with short-term yields closely tracking policy rates during cut cycles [9] - Emerging market bonds benefit from U.S. monetary easing and yield spread advantages, with significant inflows into Chinese bonds during the current cycle [10] Group 4 - Commodity responses to dollar rate cuts show significant differentiation, with precious metals benefiting from liquidity and safe-haven demand, while industrial metals depend on economic cycles and supply-demand dynamics [13] - Gold is identified as a "certainty winner" during rate cut cycles, with its price driven by real interest rates, the dollar index, and safe-haven demand [14] - Energy prices are indirectly influenced by rate cuts, primarily driven by supply-demand relationships, with oil prices fluctuating based on economic expectations [15] Group 5 - The dollar's exchange rate is reshaped by rate cuts, with the dollar index's performance influenced by the nature of the cuts and relative economic strength [16] - Major developed currencies like the euro and yen are affected by their respective central bank policies, while emerging market currencies, particularly the yuan, show resilience due to domestic economic policies [18] Group 6 - Alternative assets exhibit varied performance during rate cut cycles, reflecting their hybrid equity-debt characteristics and sensitivity to liquidity [19] - REITs benefit from lower financing costs and attractive capitalization rates relative to bond yields during rate cut cycles, showing strong performance in recovery phases [20] - Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, are highly volatile and sensitive to liquidity conditions, with significant price movements observed during periods of monetary easing [21] Group 7 - The core规律 of asset performance indicates that the type of rate cut cycle determines the leading assets, with preventive cuts favoring risk assets and rescue cuts initially benefiting safe-haven assets [22] - The current cycle in 2025 is characterized as preventive easing, with a focus on technology stocks and Chinese assets, while traditional asset performance patterns may be disrupted by global economic differentiation [23][24]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - The Fed's rate cuts can be divided into preventive and relief (recessionary) rate cuts, with different policy triggering backgrounds and implementation goals [1][5]. - The Fed's preventive rate cut in September 2025 may have limited impact on China's bond market, as China's monetary policy emphasizes "independence" and focuses more on internal balance [1][88][89]. - In the fourth quarter, the economic downward pressure may increase, and the possibility of using policy tools such as RRR cuts and interest rate cuts in the future rises. Currently, the bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating [2][90]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Types of Fed Rate Cuts - Preventive rate cuts are usually initiated when the economy shows signs of slowing but has not yet entered a recession, aiming to balance employment and inflation risks through small - scale and gradual interest rate adjustments, such as in 1995, 1998, 2019, 2024, and 2025 [1][5][79]. - Relief rate cuts often occur when the economy has fallen into a deep recession or faces a systemic crisis, characterized by large - scale and rapid interest rate cuts to stabilize the financial market, such as in 2001 - 2003, 2007 - 2008, and 2020 [1][5]. 2. Four Fed Rate - Cut Cycles Since 2000 2.1. 2001 - 2003 Relief Rate Cut - **Background and measures**: Triggered by the burst of the Internet bubble, the 9/11 terrorist attack, and corporate financial scandals. The Fed cut rates by 550 basis points from 6.5% to 1.0% [10]. - **US economic indicators**: GDP growth was sluggish, unemployment rate rose, core PCE inflation rate declined, and corporate investment was severely hit [13]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: China's central bank cut rates in 2002. The 1 - year and 10 - year Treasury yields showed different trends, reflecting the reduced sensitivity of the bond market to monetary easing when the domestic economy rebounded [19]. 2.2. 2007 - 2008 Relief Rate Cut - **Time, amplitude, and measures**: From September 2007 to December 2008, the Fed cut rates by 500 basis points to 0% - 0.25% and launched three rounds of QE [25][28]. - **Characteristics**: Fast - paced, large - amplitude, innovative policy tools, and multiple goals [29]. - **Impact on China's bond market**: The Sino - US yield spread narrowed and then fluctuated. There were changes in capital flows, with short - term international capital flowing in and out at different times [30][33][36]. 2.3. 2019 - 2020 Preventive + Relief Rate Cut - **Preventive rate cut (2019.7 - 2019.10)**: Against the background of global economic slowdown and Sino - US trade frictions, the Fed cut rates three times by 25 basis points each time. The US economy showed some recovery, and the bond market fluctuated. In China, the bond market was stable, and foreign capital increased holdings of RMB bonds [40][41][51]. - **Relief rate cut (2020.3)**: Due to the global public health event, the Fed cut rates to 0% - 0.25% and implemented unlimited QE. China also increased the easing intensity, and the bond yield declined and then rebounded [46][47][58]. 2.4. 2024 H2 Preventive Rate Cut - **Background, time, amplitude, and impact**: The Fed cut rates by 100 basis points in the second half of 2024, with a "fast - then - stable" feature. It aimed to avoid a hard landing of the economy. China's bond yields declined, and foreign capital increased holdings of Chinese bonds [60][66][67]. 3. Characteristics of the Preventive Rate Cut in 2025 - **Trigger paths**: Driven by the pressure of national debt scale and debt cost, and the marginal deterioration of the employment market [71][76]. - **Market pricing and yield trends**: The market had partially priced in the rate cut before it happened. After the rate cut in September 2025, the US Treasury yields first declined and then rose [79][80][82]. 4. Impact of the Fed's Rate - Cut Cycle on China's Bond Market - **Short - term impact**: The Fed's rate - cut expectation may attract foreign capital to flow into China's bond market through spread repair and open up space for domestic monetary policy [1][84]. - **Long - term impact**: China's bond market trend may depend more on domestic factors, including economic fundamentals and policy coordination. The influence of the Fed's policy on China's monetary policy may be weakening [87][88]. 5. Economic Situation and Bond Market Outlook in the Fourth Quarter - **Economic situation**: The economic growth in Q3 slowed down compared with Q1 and Q2. Consumption and exports may face pressure, and the external environment is also unstable, increasing the possibility of using policy tools [2][90]. - **Bond market outlook**: The bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may decline oscillating. The 10 - year Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 1.60% - 1.80% [2][90].

美联储官员观点分歧中的降息倾向 美联储理事米兰和沃勒的观点颇具代表性，也凸显了美联储内部在降息问题上的思考与分歧。 近期，美联储的货币政策走向成为全球金融市场瞩目的焦点。CME"美联储观察"数据显示，美联储10 月降息25个基点的概率高达99.4%，维持利率不变的概率仅为0.6%；12月累计降息50个基点的概率为 98.6%，累计降息75个基点的概率为0.9%。这一系列数据清晰地反映出市场对美联储再次降息的强烈预 期。 降息箭在弦上 10月28日至29日将召开下一次联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)会议。市场预计降息25个基点的概率高达 98%，联邦基金利率目标区间或降至4%—4.25%。 关于美联储后续的降息路径，投资者预期美联储将在10月议息会议上再次降息25个基点，此前因就业数 据疲软，美联储已在上月进行了今年首次降息。 北京时间10月16日，美联储理事米兰表示，美联储应该降息50个基点，但预计实际将降25个基点。米兰 认为，近期长期收益率的下降表明市场认为美联储降息是正确的决定，且与同事之间政策观点的分歧更 多在于降息的速度，而非最终的目标。米兰还预计2025年美国经济增长率在2%左右，同时指出美国经 济 ...

Group 1: Federal Reserve Rate Cuts Overview - The Federal Reserve has conducted 5 easing cycles and 5 preventive rate cuts since 1980, with rate reductions ranging from approximately 75 basis points (bp) to 1150 bp[13] - Preventive rate cuts occur when economic growth slows but has not yet entered a recession, while easing cuts are implemented during severe economic downturns[17] - The current easing cycle shares similarities with those in 1995 and 2019, with marginal economic weakening but resilient consumption and services[5] Group 2: Asset Performance During Rate Cuts - U.S. Treasury yields typically decline significantly before the first rate cut, with average declines of 73 bp and 85 bp for easing and preventive cuts, respectively[53] - U.S. equities generally rise during preventive cuts (with an 80% success rate for the Nasdaq and S&P 500) but tend to decline during easing cuts, averaging a drop of 11%-13%[52] - The U.S. dollar usually weakens during both types of rate cuts but tends to rebound after the cycle ends, with an average increase of 2.7% six months post-cut[52] - Gold performs better during preventive cuts, with an 80% success rate, while industrial metals depend more on global demand fundamentals[52]

Core Viewpoint - The significant rise in domestic gold and silver futures prices following the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays is attributed to the surge in international gold and silver prices during the holiday period, driven by increased market risk appetite due to the U.S. government shutdown [1][2]. Group 1: Gold Market Analysis - COMEX gold futures prices surpassed $4000 per ounce on October 7, primarily due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which has become the fourth longest in history [1]. - The prolonged shutdown may impact the payment of salaries for military and federal employees, and the delay in the release of key economic data, such as non-farm payrolls and CPI, could affect data quality [1]. - Analysts suggest that the recent surge in gold prices may have already priced in much of the market's risk appetite, and any resolution to the government shutdown could lead to price volatility [3]. Group 2: Silver Market Analysis - The rise in silver prices is influenced by multiple factors, including increased demand for safe-haven assets, expectations of preemptive interest rate cuts, and the entry of arbitrage funds [2]. - The recent turmoil in the French government and uncertainties surrounding the independence of the Federal Reserve have heightened market risk aversion, further supporting silver prices [2]. - The People's Bank of China reported an increase in gold reserves, indicating a continued trend of accumulation, which may enhance the purchasing power of gold buyers [2]. Group 3: Short-term and Long-term Outlook - Short-term caution is advised for gold bulls, as indicators suggest overbought conditions, and a rebound in the U.S. dollar could lead to a decline in gold prices [3]. - Long-term trends for gold prices remain positive, with expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the end of October, which could provide upward momentum for gold [3]. - For silver, the medium to long-term price center is expected to continue rising, particularly as the end of the rate-cutting cycle may lead to historically low real interest rates, significantly benefiting silver prices [3].

Core Insights - The discussion around the Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts has intensified, with many investors focusing on the implications for the US dollar's exchange rate. However, the relationship between interest rate cuts and currency depreciation is more complex than it appears [1][3]. Group 1: Nature of Interest Rate Cuts - The simplistic view that "lower rates lead to a weaker dollar" must be abandoned. The impact of Fed rate cuts on the dollar depends on whether the cuts are "preventive" or "recessionary" in nature [3]. - Preventive rate cuts are proactive measures taken to extend economic expansion and manage risks, often leading to increased market confidence and potentially strengthening the dollar [3][4]. - Recessionary rate cuts occur in response to clear signs of economic distress, which can heighten market fears and lead to a flight to safety, often resulting in increased demand for US dollar assets despite the theoretical negative impact on the dollar [4]. Group 2: Global Economic Interconnections - The interconnectedness of the global economy means that fluctuations in major economies can have ripple effects. For instance, the 2008 financial crisis highlighted how US economic issues can impact global markets [6]. - China's economic transitions and policy adjustments also have significant global implications, affecting demand for commodities and influencing international markets [6][8]. - The US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency amplifies the effects of its monetary policy on global financial markets, making it crucial for investors to understand these dynamics [8]. Group 3: Future Market Considerations - Investors should focus on the underlying health of the US economy, analyzing key indicators such as employment, inflation, and consumption to determine the nature of any rate cuts [9]. - Acknowledging the "new normal" for the Chinese yuan, characterized by stability and two-way fluctuations, is essential for understanding its future trajectory in the context of global economic changes [10]. - The interdependence of global economies necessitates a comprehensive perspective and dynamic analytical framework to navigate the complexities of the financial markets [10].
