Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's policy path has become a focal point for global markets, with expectations of a potential interest rate cut in 2025 being challenged by rising inflation risks and a resilient labor market [1][3]. Group 1: Economic Indicators - The U.S. core PCE price index rose by 2.8% year-on-year in April, exceeding expectations for three consecutive months, indicating persistent inflationary pressures [3]. - Factors contributing to inflation include rising energy prices, localized supply chain tensions, and sticky wage growth in the labor market [3]. - Fed Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that if inflation remains above the 2% target, the timeline for rate cuts could be pushed back to 2026 [3]. Group 2: Market Reactions - A delay in rate cuts could enhance the attractiveness of U.S. dollar assets, leading to a negative correlation with capital inflows into Hong Kong stocks [3]. - Historical data shows that during the Fed's rate hike cycle in 2022, capital outflows from Hong Kong stocks exceeded 10 billion HKD in a single day, with the Hang Seng Index dropping by 15% [3]. - Currently, despite Hong Kong stocks being undervalued, tightening external liquidity may offset this valuation advantage, as indicated by a decrease in the overweight ratio of global emerging market funds in Hong Kong stocks from 5.2% to 3.1% [3]. Group 3: Investment Strategies - The company recommends focusing on defensive sectors such as utilities and telecommunications, which have stable cash flows and are less impacted by external liquidity shocks [5]. - It is advised to use currency hedging tools, such as USD/HKD forward contracts or offshore RMB options, to mitigate the risk of asset depreciation due to a stronger dollar [5]. - Investors should closely monitor Fed officials' speeches and economic data releases to identify potential trading opportunities, particularly in response to employment and inflation data [5].

美联储博斯蒂克：可能不得不应对关税带来的通胀压力。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The uncertainty in the economic environment is unlikely to resolve quickly, and while economic growth is expected to slow, a recession is not anticipated [1] Economic Growth Outlook - Economic growth for the year is projected to be between 0.5% and 1% [1] - The expectation of a single interest rate cut this year is due to ongoing uncertainties [1] Inflation and Trade - There may be pressure from tariffs contributing to inflation, which the economy will need to withstand [1] Transition Period - The economy is currently undergoing a "significant transformation" [1]

从关税的实际影响来看，即便谈判取得一定进展，关税问题依旧是悬在经济头上的 "达摩克利斯之 剑"。耶鲁大学预算实验室的估计数据令人警醒，平均有效关税率将达到 17.8%，这一数字相较于特朗 普开始第二任期时的约 2.5% 大幅攀升。如此高的关税，会直接加剧通胀压力，同时对经济增长形成阻 碍。据测算，这足以使物价水平上升约 1.7%，失业率上升 0.35%，对美国经济的稳定运行造成冲击。 再者，90 天的关税暂停期非但没有消除不确定性，反而延长了这种不稳定状态。只要贸易谈判一天不 结束，企业就会因未来的不确定性而采取保守策略，推迟采购、投资和招聘决策。这种观望态度会导致 经济活动放缓，抑制经济的活力与增长动力。 对于美联储而言，其面临的抉择堪称艰难。在对抗通胀与支持经济增长之间，美联储必须小心翼翼地寻 找平衡。短期内，美联储只能保持耐心，维持利率稳定，并密切关注通胀预期。但这一策略很可能招致 总统的不满，因为稳定利率可能无法满足刺激经济增长的短期需求。而这种谨慎的态度，极有可能导致 美联储对经济疲软的反应滞后，无法及时采取有效措施应对潜在的经济下滑风险。 STARTRADER发现本周，全球投资者因贸易紧张局势缓和 ...
