行业层面，BMO分析显示，1982年以来十次降息周期中，多数板块在首次降息后一年内上涨。通信服 务、非必需消费品、工业和信息技术板块通常表现突出，能源板块则长期落后。值得注意的是，本次降 息前表现疲软的能源、医疗保健、材料和公用事业板块，未来一年或现强于平均水平的反弹。 BMO维持2025年末标普500指数6700点目标价，对应每股收益275美元、市盈率24.4倍。该机构继续建 议增持科技、金融和非必需消费品类股，减持医疗保健和必需消费品类股，具体策略涵盖美国战术股 票、股息增长及SMID投资组合。 贝尔斯基梳理1982年以来标普500指数在首次降息或恢复降息后的10个周期表现发现，8个周期实现正回 报，随后一年平均涨幅约10.4%，具体结果因经济背景差异显著，从下跌近24%到上涨超32%不等。 贝尔斯基强调，股市能否强劲上涨取决于降息能否延长经济扩张并维持企业盈利增长，若货币宽松未能 阻止经济衰退，如2001年和2007年，股市将遭受损失。 当前经济形势显示有利因素占优：尽管劳动力市场降温，但亚特兰大联储估计就业增长仍保持完好，失 业救济申请人数按历史标准稳定，GDP增长略高于趋势水平，且预计2026年前企 ...

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the **electrolytic aluminum industry** and its investment potential in the context of macroeconomic trends and domestic demand dynamics [1][2]. Core Insights and Arguments - Following the Jackson Hole meeting, industrial and precious metals have seen price increases, with copper outperforming aluminum due to previously pessimistic demand expectations for aluminum, which have since improved with rising downstream operating rates and overseas motor capacity expansion [1]. - The domestic electrolytic aluminum market is entering a peak season, with significant increases in downstream operating rates and a decrease in aluminum ingot social inventory year-on-year [1][5]. - The implementation of Document 770 has suppressed the growth rate of the recycled aluminum industry, thereby supporting the operating rates of primary aluminum processing [1][5]. - Global electrolytic aluminum supply is expected to grow between **1.3 to 2.2 million tons** over the next two years, with domestic policies impacting the recycled lead recovery prices in inland regions [6]. - The recycled tungsten industry is entering a phase of standardized development, which is expected to drive overall supply growth, although the supply side is facing a reshuffle [7][8]. Investment Value of the Electrolytic Aluminum Sector - The electrolytic aluminum sector is currently experiencing significant stagnation, but its investment value is considered high relative to other industrial metals, with potential price increases expected to exceed those of copper [2]. - Factors supporting this outlook include cyclical momentum, increased downstream operating rates, inventory reduction, and improved dividend policies enhancing safety margins [2][3]. Recent Performance and Trends - Since the Jackson Hole meeting on **August 22**, industrial metals, including copper, have seen approximately **20%** price increases, while aluminum companies have raised their dividend payout ratios, supporting higher dividend yields and improved profitability [3]. - The aluminum sector's profit and balance sheets have been corrected to a healthy state, with companies like Tianshan Aluminum entering a high dividend tier [11][12]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The latest data indicates a **5.4%** week-on-week decrease in aluminum bar inventory and a **1.1%** year-on-year decrease in aluminum ingot social inventory, with downstream sectors like aluminum profiles and plates showing rising operating rates [5]. - The implementation of Document 770 has had a limited impact on coastal regions but has raised recycled lead recovery prices in inland areas, affecting the growth of the recycled tungsten industry [6]. Macroeconomic Influences - The likelihood of consistent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is high, which is favorable for demand expansion in the context of monetary easing [9]. - Observing inflation changes is crucial for adjusting market strategies, with current trading conditions favoring monetary easing [9].

Group 1 - The market anticipates a 95.5% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, with a 4.5% chance of a 50 basis point cut, and no probability for maintaining or increasing rates [1] - There are two main viewpoints on why the market is optimistic about a rate cut: one suggests pressure from President Trump is a key factor, while the other argues that the Federal Reserve operates as a collective decision-making body, independent of Trump's influence [2][3] - Trump's economic policy aims to increase government spending while minimizing taxes, which necessitates lower interest rates to manage the cost of new debt issuance [4][8] Group 2 - The Federal Reserve has not cut rates this year due to concerns about inflation and unemployment, but current economic conditions suggest that a rate cut is warranted [5][6] - The expected pace of rate cuts will depend on inflation trends; if inflation remains stable, the Fed may implement cuts of 50 basis points each quarter, while any signs of inflation rebound could lead to smaller cuts [7][8] - The potential appointment of a new Federal Reserve chair next year could shift the balance towards a more dovish stance, possibly accelerating the pace of rate cuts [8]
