Core Viewpoint - The likelihood of a rate cut cycle restarting in September is high following the release of the US August CPI and employment data, with a total of 100 basis points cut since the cycle began in September 2024, and the Federal Reserve has paused rate cuts four times since March this year [1][2]. Market Performance Post Rate Cut - After the restart of the rate cut cycle, the Hong Kong stock market is expected to perform strongly, similar to the US stock market. In non-recession scenarios (1995, 2020, 1998), indices tend to rise, while in recession scenarios (2002, 2008), there may be a further decline for about three months before a recovery [1][4]. - Over the 12 months following a rate cut restart, the best-performing sectors are healthcare (+106.7%), technology (+88.0%), consumer staples (+55.2%), and consumer discretionary (+52.6%). The worst-performing sectors are utilities (+2.3%) and telecommunications (+13.3%) [1][4]. Asset Class Performance - In the 12 months following a rate cut restart, equity markets show significant performance. In non-recession scenarios, the S&P 500 averages a gain of 22.5%, while the Hang Seng Index averages a gain of 35.4%.

Index Style Performance - In the US market, small-cap indices (Russell 2000) tend to outperform large-cap indices (Russell 1000) and the Nasdaq outperforms the Dow Jones Industrial Average, indicating a shift towards smaller-cap stocks following the restart of the rate cut cycle [13][15].

Group 1: Deep Dive on "14th Five-Year Plan" - The article discusses the ongoing signals from the central government regarding industrial structure adjustments, emphasizing the path taken in the previous five-year plan and how the "14th Five-Year Plan" will advance these adjustments [8]. Group 2: Hot Topics - The U.S. non-farm payroll data for August showed a cooling trend, leading the market to shift from "rate cut trades" to "recession trades," raising questions about the extent of potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [12]. - A mini-storm in sovereign debt markets has emerged due to a significant rise in overseas risk-free interest rates, prompting a risk-off sentiment in global financial markets [11][12]. - The article highlights that the decline in exports in August is not due to a "export rush" tapering off, but rather other underlying factors [16]. Group 3: High-Frequency Tracking - The analysis of the August CPI indicates that core CPI structure shows two main characteristics: limited transmission of tariffs on goods inflation and a weakening in super-core service inflation [21]. - The commentary on the recent U.S. employment data indicates a weakening trend, which has contributed to the continued rise in gold and silver prices [23].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that the CPI growth in August has rebounded due to food and energy, but the slow transmission of tariffs and stable service inflation suggest that inflation will not hinder the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in the short term [1][2] - The August CPI in the U.S. showed a year-on-year increase of 2.9% (previous value 2.7%, expected 2.9%) and a month-on-month increase of 0.4% (previous value 0.2%, expected 0.3%) [1] - Core CPI remained stable with a year-on-year increase of 3.1% and a month-on-month increase of 0.3%, aligning with market expectations [1] Group 2 - Core goods saw a month-on-month increase from 0.2% to 0.3%, primarily driven by a rebound in used car prices (from 0.5% to 1.0%) [1] - The transmission of tariffs remains slow, with core goods excluding used cars maintaining a month-on-month growth rate of 0.17%, unchanged from July [1][2] - Service inflation remained stable, with rental inflation being the main contributor, although its sustainability is questionable [2] Group 3 - Short-term focus is expected to remain on employment risks rather than inflation, as the slow transmission of tariffs and stable service inflation indicate that inflation will not be a constraint for the Federal Reserve's rate cuts [2] - The labor market's ongoing weakness has not disrupted the consensus on a soft landing, with the market currently favoring rate cut trades rather than recession trades [2] - Concerns about the U.S. inflation pressure persisting after rate cuts need to be monitored, despite the current demand-side weakness slowing tariff transmission [2]
