｜2025年12月11日星期四｜ NO.1中金：美联储明年1月可能按兵不动，下一次降息或在明年3月份 12月11日，中金公司（601995）研报指出，美联储如预期在12月会议上降息25个基点，但反对降息的官 员增至两人，显示进一步降息的门槛正在抬高。与此同时，鲍威尔的表态并不强硬，加之美联储宣布将 启动短期国库券(T-bills)购买操作，帮助缓和了市场的担忧。此前被充分计入的"鹰派降息"预期出现反 转，加剧了市场波动。展望未来，鉴于经济与就业仍面临下行压力，我们预计美联储或将在2026年继续 降息；但考虑到通胀粘性犹存，降息节奏趋于放缓。明年1月份可能按兵不动，下一次降息或在明年3月 份。 NO.2中金：2026年储能行业需求景气度仍然较高 中金认为2026年储能行业需求景气度仍然较高，主要原因为：1)储能需求增长逻辑不变，一方面是全球 能源转型趋势持续，风光装机占比提升需要依赖电网、储能建设，另一方面是AI数据中心缺电逻辑仍 在，预期明年或将涌现更多AI配储项目；2)国内、美国、欧洲三大主要市场大储招标、计划项目量较 大；中东、印度、澳洲、智利市场大储需求涌现；3)户储和工商储需求仍然强劲，新兴市场缺电逻 ...
