Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts are expected to have significant impacts on various financial aspects, including exchange rates, gold investments, and A-share market performance, driven by a reallocation of global dollar liquidity [1][3]. Exchange Rate - The anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are likely to weaken the dollar, resulting in an appreciation of the Chinese yuan against the dollar. This change will affect cross-border consumers, reducing costs for overseas shopping, travel, and education [4]. - Import-oriented industries, such as steel and non-ferrous metals, will benefit from lower procurement costs, enhancing profit margins and stabilizing employment and income expectations. However, export-oriented sectors must balance the impact of a weaker dollar on overseas purchasing power with potential increases in import demand due to a stimulated U.S. economy [4]. Gold - The impact of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts on gold prices exhibits a "scenario-based characteristic." In the short term, any rate cut is expected to boost gold prices due to increased liquidity, with historical data indicating an average price increase of 3%-5% within 1-3 months post-rate cut [5]. - Long-term trends differ based on the type of rate cut: preemptive cuts may lead to a gradual decline in gold prices as economic expectations improve, while recessionary cuts could sustain upward pressure on gold prices due to heightened demand for safe-haven assets [5]. A-shares - The Federal Reserve's rate cuts will influence A-shares through both liquidity and risk appetite channels. As global funds flow out, A-shares may attract foreign investment, providing liquidity support to the market [6]. - The performance of different sectors will vary based on the type of rate cut: preemptive cuts will favor technology, food and beverage, and healthcare sectors, while recessionary cuts will benefit defensive sectors such as banking and chemicals [6].

Group 2: Equity Market - According to Franklin Templeton, the domestic asset allocation for 2026 will be driven by three core logic points: a weak dollar benefiting RMB assets, low domestic interest rates leading to increased equity investments, and policy support impacting inflation [4]. - Zhejiang Securities notes that the technology growth sector has entered a phase of high-level consolidation after a strong three-week performance, while the resource sector is experiencing volatility amid global resource price fluctuations [6]. - CICC highlights that the willingness of residents to invest in the stock market remains weak, with the correlation between available funds and stock market performance being low [7].

Monetary Policy Impact - The expectation of continued interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve supports gold prices, as lower real interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold [8]. - As of February 1, 2026, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield was 3.5%, with inflation expectations at 2.8%, resulting in a real interest rate of approximately 0.7% [8].
