Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The global economy is experiencing a K-shaped recovery, with rapid capital expansion in technology and renewable energy sectors, while traditional sectors and small to medium enterprises face challenges. This has led to a divergence in prices between non-ferrous metals and traditional energy [1][2] - The overall environment for a comprehensive rise in industrial product prices in 2026 is not favorable, with continued price differentiation between non-ferrous metals and black energy products due to geopolitical risks and low capacity utilization [1][3] Core Insights and Arguments - **Global Demand**: Total global demand remains stable without significant turning points. Despite the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and other economic measures, the elasticity of demand is limited, and long-term interest rates remain high, indicating weak real growth [2][4] - **Price Performance**: The poor price performance in 2025 was primarily due to low capacity utilization rates across major economies, which are still 3-4 percentage points below 2012 peaks. This suggests that even with strong demand, supply can be increased by improving capacity utilization, preventing widespread inflation [5] - **Market Divergence**: The current market shows a pronounced K-shaped divergence, with emerging sectors like chips and renewable energy seeing rapid capital expansion, while traditional sectors struggle. Non-ferrous metals are at historical highs, while traditional energy and black metals are at relative lows [6][7] - **Impact of Energy Transition**: The energy transition has led to significant changes in the global commodity market, with traditional energy markets potentially shifting from scarcity to surplus. The decline in energy prices has resulted in substantial capital outflows, some of which have flowed into precious metals like gold [9][10] Additional Important Insights - **Future Trends**: The K-shaped divergence is expected to continue into 2026, with strong demand for non-ferrous metals driven by technology, while black metals face low capacity utilization. The potential for oil to become a surplus commodity could further influence market dynamics [11] - **Gold Market Dynamics**: Gold has performed well due to multiple factors, including central bank purchases, retail demand, and geopolitical risks. However, the market size has expanded significantly, making further large price increases more challenging [12][14] - **Geopolitical Risks**: Rising geopolitical risks have profound implications for global financial markets, increasing demand for safe-haven assets and benefiting defense and high-end equipment sectors [15][16] - **Long-term Liquidity Pressure**: In 2026, long-term liquidity pressure, particularly related to the Japanese yen, may lead to increased volatility in financial markets as interest rates rise and market conditions change [17]

Asset Allocation Strategies - The liquidity-driven asset price revaluation seen in 2025 is expected to continue into 2026, with a strong outlook for the Chinese yuan due to substantial trade surpluses [9][10]. - Precious metals are projected to remain attractive due to their independence from central bank policies and increasing industrial demand driven by technological revolutions [9]. - A-shares and Hong Kong stocks are likely to outperform U.S. stocks in 2026, attributed to valuation disparities and a low-interest-rate environment in China [10].

今天分享的是：2026海外宏观年度展望：修复"K型经济" 报告共计：33页 2026海外宏观年度展望核心总结 2025年末，科技发展带来的宏观影响愈发突出，全球经济呈现显著的"K型经济"特征，即科技相关的AI经济与传统非AI经济分化明显， 这一格局将在2026年持续演化。 AI经济方面，其核心特征是重资本投入，短期依靠投资驱动增长。2025年AI相关投资增速超70%，拉动GDP增速0.6%，相关产业投资占 美国私人总投资比重约34%。展望2026年，AI投资仍将增长，但增速大概率高位放缓至35%左右。长期来看，AI经济需从投资驱动转向 生产率驱动，这是其实现长期高增长的关键。历史经验表明，科技驱动的生产率提升能长期提振总需求、降低通胀，但当前劳动生产率 增速和AI技术应用率尚未充分证明生产率已大幅提升，且由于统计口径和应用滞后，生产率数据趋势往往滞后于技术进步，2026年关于 AI经济对生产率的影响仍将存在分歧。 非AI经济则面临多重压力。近三年出现罕见的"无就业增长"状态，2025下半年以来新增就业超预期下行，接近衰退周期特征，这种就业 停滞是传统经济周期走弱与AI结构扰动双期叠加的结果。未来失业率存在加速 ...

进入2026年，全球宏观市场正在经历一场深刻的范式转变。资深分析师David Woo认为，面对中期选举 的巨大压力，特朗普政府正展现出不惜一切代价扭转局面的决心，这将重塑从能源到黄金的全球资产定 价逻辑。 David Woo表示，为弥补严重的民调劣势并避免在国会失去多数席位，特朗普政府的政策重心已全面转 向赢得"可负担性"辩论。这意味着2026年的终极交易主题将从单纯的再通胀转向激进的通缩手段——尤 其是通过强力掌控能源资源来大幅压低油价，目标是在大选前将汽油价格降至关键心理防线。这一战略 不仅意在平抑通胀，更意在通过改善中产阶级生活成本来稳固选票。 而特朗普此前对委内瑞拉的动作标志着战后建立的基于规则的国际秩序实质性终结。这一举措并非出于 意识形态考量，而是为了直接掌控能源资源，以期通过大幅增加供应来赢得国内的"可负担性论证"。特 朗普的目标是在秋季前将汽油价格压低至每加仑2.25美元，这将对原油市场造成剧烈冲击，预计油价将 下探至40至50美元区间。 Woo警告，随着美国放弃作为国际体系的传统担保人角色，全球地缘不安全感将急剧上升，这为黄金提 供了强劲支撑，并利好国防工业。相反，新兴市场股票将面临估值重估 ...
