新华社伦敦5月21日电（记者赵小娜）路透社21日发布一项对经济学家的调查显示，围绕美国关税 战的贸易紧张局面近期出现短暂缓和，但美国经济前景仍不容乐观。受财政赤字扩大、通胀居高不下和 政策不确定性影响，美国经济正面临"低增长、高通胀"的风险。报道摘要如下： 高额进口关税暂停实施在一定程度上降低了美国短期内陷入衰退的可能性，但并未实质性改变其经 济下行趋势。最新调查显示，美国经济今年第二季度预计增长1.5%，全年增速仅为1.4%，显著低于去 年的2.8%，2026年增速预期同样为1.5%。未来一年，美国出现经济衰退的概率中位数从4月的45%降至 35%。 美联储官员认为，关税政策导致通胀形势再度恶化的风险在加剧，因此不急于降息。今年以来，联 邦基金利率一直维持在4.25%至4.50%之间不变。在103位受访的经济学家中，52人预计美联储将在第三 季度开始降息，最可能在9月；25人认为将在第四季度降息；18人预计今年不会降息；8人预测6月将降 息。 FHN金融公司首席经济学家克里斯·洛指出，联邦公开市场委员会坚持要在关税对通胀的直接影响 明朗之后再降息。因此，相关决策可能到第四季度才会做出，甚至明年年初。 摩根士 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the stock index is "oscillating" [5] Core Viewpoints of the Report - In April 2025, China's economic data was generally lackluster, with a sharp contrast between high export growth and weak domestic demand. The "fatigue period" of domestic policy efforts may be emerging, and the growth rate in policy - supported areas is also declining. New - quality productivity sectors maintain growth resilience, corresponding to a relatively high risk appetite for the BeiZheng 50 Index and small - cap indexes in the stock market. However, the macro - picture of the pro - cyclical sector's failure to gain momentum, low inflation, and weak consumer confidence restricts the stock index. The corporate profit growth rate in 2025 may only be around 3%. The stock market's rise in the first five months of this year relied more on valuation expansion, but the current high valuation level makes it difficult to support continued expansion. In the long - term, the stock index still has room, but in the short - to - medium term, there is a need to be vigilant about the pressure of valuation correction [2][31] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Economic Data Interpretation in April 2025 - **Overall Economic Situation**: As the first month after the escalation of the tariff war, China's economic indicators weakened year - on - year. Except for industrial growth, all were below market expectations, indicating emerging domestic economic pressure after the rapid recovery in the first quarter. In April, the seasonally - adjusted month - on - month growth rates of industrial growth, social retail, and fixed - asset investment were at historically low seasonal levels. After deducting price factors, the supply side outperformed the demand side in the cumulative data for the first four months [1][9] - **Supply Side**: Both industrial and service sectors showed a slowdown in year - on - year growth, but new - quality productivity became a stable growth source. In the industrial supply, the high - tech industry showed strong resilience to external shocks such as the tariff war, with a relatively high overall growth rate and a small decline. The mining and public utility sectors related to domestic demand declined significantly due to weak demand. In the service supply, new business forms such as information technology services maintained resilience, while traditional industries such as wholesale and retail contracted [11][12] - **Consumption**: The growth of social retail in April fell short of expectations. In terms of categories, there may be a phenomenon of low - price competition in the catering industry. In commodity retail, gold and silver jewelry, cultural and office products, and cosmetics showed high growth, while the growth of cars and communication products in traditional subsidy areas slowed down [3][18] - **Investment**: In May, the growth rate of fixed - asset investment declined. Among them, the growth rates of manufacturing and infrastructure investment decreased from high levels, and the decline in real estate investment widened. In the real estate sector, both investment and sales weakened, and the housing price situation was not optimistic. The continuous decline in housing prices deepened the impact on residents' asset - liability behavior and weakened domestic consumption - promotion policies [23][26] 2. Investment Suggestions - The economic data in April was lackluster, with a contrast between high export growth and weak domestic demand. The "fatigue period" of domestic policy efforts may be emerging. New - quality productivity sectors maintain growth resilience, corresponding to a relatively high risk appetite for the BeiZheng 50 Index and small - cap indexes in the stock market. However, the pro - cyclical sector's failure to gain momentum, low inflation, and weak consumer confidence restrict the stock index. The corporate profit growth rate in 2025 may only be around 3%. The stock market's rise in the first five months of this year relied more on valuation expansion, but the current high valuation level makes it difficult to support continued expansion. In the long - term, the stock index still has room, but in the short - to - medium term, there is a need to be vigilant about the pressure of valuation correction [2][31]
