Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry or Company Involved - The conference call primarily discusses the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies, particularly focusing on the implications of potential interest rate cuts on various asset classes and markets. Core Points and Arguments 1. **U.S. Economic Slowdown**: Recent macroeconomic data indicates a significant slowdown in U.S. economic momentum, with August non-farm payrolls increasing by only 22,000, far below the expected 75,000, and the unemployment rate rising for three consecutive months, suggesting a cooling labor market [7][15][20]. 2. **Inflation Trends**: July's inflation data showed a moderate increase, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) year-on-year growth at 2.7%, below the expected 2.8%. Core CPI slightly exceeded expectations at 3.1%, but overall inflation pressures remain manageable [15][20]. 3. **Market Expectations for Rate Cuts**: The market's expectation for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September has strengthened, with a 100% probability indicated by the CME FedWatch tool. Fed Chair Powell's remarks at the Jackson Hole conference reinforced this dovish outlook [7][20][21]. 4. **Historical Rate Cut Cycles**: The report reviews seven historical rate cut cycles since 1989, highlighting differences in driving factors and asset performance during these periods. The cycles are categorized into preventive and recessionary cuts [8][26][29]. 5. **Asset Allocation Strategies**: - **Equities**: A risk-on environment is anticipated, with developed markets expected to perform better than emerging markets. Specific sectors such as technology, real estate, and finance in A-shares, as well as real estate, finance, and consumer discretionary in Hong Kong stocks, are projected to outperform [9][10]. - **Bonds**: U.S. Treasuries are seen as ideal during recessionary cuts but less favorable in preventive cuts [9]. - **Currency**: The U.S. dollar is expected to weaken during preventive cut cycles [9]. - **Gold**: Historically, gold performs well during preventive cut cycles due to its inflation-hedging and safe-haven properties [9]. 6. **Focus on Upcoming Rate Cut**: The upcoming rate cut on September 18, 2024, is expected to initiate a new cycle of equity market expansion, particularly benefiting Hong Kong and A-shares, with a focus on technology, finance, and real estate sectors [10][12]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Diverse Reactions to Monetary Policy**: Different asset classes react variably to monetary policy changes, reflecting regional economic fundamentals and capital flows [33][39]. 2. **Performance of Risk Assets**: Historical data shows that during previous rate cut cycles, certain markets like Hong Kong and gold have outperformed others, indicating the importance of strategic asset allocation [33][39][52]. 3. **Sector-Specific Insights**: In the context of the 2001-2003 rate cut cycle, sectors such as utilities and energy in A-shares showed resilience, while healthcare and technology in Hong Kong exhibited significant gains [55]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call, focusing on the implications of U.S. monetary policy on various asset classes and market sectors.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Report's Core View - On September 18, 2025, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25BP to 4%-4.25%, the first rate cut in 2025. The 9 - month rate cut was "expected", with market expectations of a rate cut in September remaining high. The Fed showed restraint, and Powell's stance was "neutral - hawkish". The rate cut was a "risk - management" one, denying an economic recession. The Fed is expected to cut rates by another 50BP this year. Overseas asset volatility will decline in the short - term, and the stock - bond trajectory remains unchanged. For the domestic market, overseas rate cuts do not affect domestic policy rhythms, and equities may see an emotional boost while the bond market is unlikely to follow [5][6]. Summary by Related Catalog Fed's Policy Adjustment and Outlook - The Fed's monetary policy framework adjustment focuses more on employment in the short - term. Powell pointed out that employment growth has slowed and the risk of employment decline has increased, putting employment issues before "recent inflation increases" [3]. - Although economic activity has slowed, the Fed is still optimistic and raised its economic growth forecast. The forecast for the annual real GDP growth rate in 2025 was raised from 1.4% to 1.6% [3]. - The Fed is more tolerant of inflation, believing that current inflation may be temporary. It raised the inflation forecast for 2026 while lowering the forecast for the federal funds rate in 2026. The 2026 PCE and core PCE were both raised by 0.2pct to 2.6%, and the 2026 federal funds rate forecast was lowered from 3.6% to 3.4% [4]. - Most Fed officials think there will be another 50BP rate cut this year. According to the dot plot, 9 out of 19 voting members believe the year - end benchmark interest rate should be in the 3.5% - 3.75% range, and 1 member thinks it should be in the 2.75% - 3% range [4]. Impact on Overseas and Domestic Markets - For overseas markets, US stocks and bonds have priced in the rate cut. The 25BP rate cut will not cause market fluctuations. The subsequent rate - cut rhythm is likely to be neutral and stable, and it is expected to cut rates by another 50BP this year. Commodities such as gold, silver, and copper may experience short - term shock and correction after the rate cut [6]. - For the domestic market, overseas rate cuts do not affect domestic policy rhythms. The scenario where overseas rate cuts open up domestic policy space will not happen. Under the current risk preference and liquidity environment, there is not much need for further rate cuts. Overseas rate cuts will not change the "stock - strong, bond - weak" trend. Equities may receive an emotional boost, while the bond market is unlikely to follow [6].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - The preventive interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve will boost subsequent risk assets and equity markets. A-shares rebounded on Wednesday, with the Shenzhen market performing significantly stronger than the broader market, and a clear structural market in technology stocks. In the short term, stock index futures may seek to break through the upper limit of the trading range. The strategy remains unchanged, focusing on technology growth and large financial sectors, such as computing power and robotics in specific sectors, and maintaining a long position in the SSE 50 and CSI 1000 in stock index futures [2][3][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - **Overseas Market**: In August, the annualized total of new housing starts in the US was 1.307 million units, lower than the expected 1.365 million and the previous value of 1.429 million. The total number of building permits was 1.312 million units, lower than the expected 1.37 million and the previous value of 1.362 million, indicating a weakening of the US real estate market. The Federal Reserve announced a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut at its September meeting, and the market's expectation for the number of subsequent interest rate cuts this year increased from 1 to 2. The Fed's statement showed a dovish stance, but Powell's speech was hawkish, leading to significant fluctuations in overnight assets [2][7]. - **Domestic Market**: On Wednesday, the broader market opened lower, fluctuated, and then rose 0.37%. The Shenzhen Component Index rose 1.16%, and the ChiNext Index rose 1.95%. The market showed a pattern of index rebound but stock differentiation. Traditional heavy - weight stocks pressured the index, while technology stocks supported the market, with a clear structural market in technology stocks. Among sectors, power equipment, automobiles, household appliances, coal, and machinery had the highest gains, while agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, commerce and retail, social services, food and beverages, and textile and apparel had the largest losses [3][8]. 3.2 Important News - **Federal Reserve Meeting**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, with only Milan opposing and supporting a 50 - basis - point cut. Powell said the labor market risk was skewed downward, and this rate cut could be seen as a risk - management measure. The median of the dot - plot implied a total of 3 interest rate cuts (75 basis points) this year and 1 cut next year. Milan hoped for a total of 150 basis points of cuts this year. Powell also implicitly expressed concerns about stagflation [9][10]. - **Other News**: The EU announced sanctions against Israel; the US Treasury Secretary's property issue was similar to the reason for Cook's removal; the Bank of Canada cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%; the State - owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will promote strategic and specialized restructuring and integration of state - owned enterprises; from January to August, the securities transaction stamp duty revenue increased by 81.7% year - on - year, and the national general public budget revenue was 14.8198 trillion yuan, up 0.3% year - on - year; Li Jiachao aims to make Hong Kong an international gold trading market; the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology solicited opinions on standards for intelligent connected vehicle combined driving assistance [11][12]. 3.3 Today's Strategy - The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, and there will be 2 more cuts in the second half of the year. Although overnight asset prices fluctuated significantly due to Powell's hawkish remarks, the preventive interest rate cut will boost the subsequent equity market. The strategy remains unchanged, focusing on technology growth and large financial sectors, such as computing power and robotics in specific sectors, and maintaining a long position in the SSE 50 and CSI 1000 in stock index futures [2][5][13]. 3.4 Futures Market Tracking - **Futures Performance**: Data on the closing prices, settlement prices, price changes, price change rates, basis, and other indicators of various stock index futures contracts such as the SSE 50, CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 are provided, showing the performance of different contracts on a specific day [15]. - **Trading Volume and Open Interest**: Data on the trading volume, trading volume changes, turnover, turnover changes, open interest, open interest changes, and other indicators of various stock index futures contracts are provided, as well as the changes in the net positions of the top 20 member institutions [16]. 3.5 Spot Market Tracking - **Market Index Performance**: Information on the current points, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual price changes, trading volume, price - to - earnings ratios, and other indicators of major market indices such as the Wind All - A, Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Component Index, and ChiNext Index is provided [39]. - **Sector Performance**: The performance of various sectors, including upstream, mid - stream, consumer, TMT, finance, and public utilities sectors, is presented, including price changes, trading volume, and price - to - earnings ratios [39]. - **Market Style Impact**: The impact of different market styles (cyclical, consumer, growth, financial, and stable) on major market indices such as the SSE 50, CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 is analyzed, including the number of stocks, weights, and daily, weekly, monthly, and annual contributions [40][41]. 3.6 Liquidity Tracking - **Central Bank Operations**: Information on the central bank's open - market operations, including money injection, money withdrawal, and net money injection, is presented [52][53]. - **Shibor Rates**: The levels of Shibor rates for different tenors (overnight, 1 - week, 2 - week, and 1 - month) are shown [52][53].

出品｜搜狐财经 作者｜汪梦婷 北京时间9月18日凌晨，美联储议息会议结束，宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点，到4.00%至4.25%之间。 这是美联储2025年来第一次降息，也标志着全球最大的央行正式开启了新一轮的货币政策宽松周期，对于全球金融市场以及各类资产而言，无疑将产生深远 影响。 9月18日，搜狐财经特别连线东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青，就本次美联储降息的原因以及后续影响进行解读。 王青表示，本次降息决定主要源于5月以来美国就业市场的持续疲软，具有"预防式降息"特征，反映出美联储在就业市场恶化和通胀压力之间寻求平衡的艰 难抉择。 "综合当前美国经济、就业和物价走势，年底前美联储确实有可能再下调两次政策利率。"不过，王青认为明年降息进程将面临较大变数，主要源于物价走势 的不确定性。 谈及对中国的影响，王青认为中国货币政策调整空间将进一步扩大。"对中国股市、楼市的直接影响较小，更多是通过对国内宏观政策的影响间接体现。"他 表示，美联储降息后，国内灵活货币政策调整的空间加大，支持性政策会加码。 关于人民币汇率，王青认为美联储降息会适度压缩中美利差倒挂幅度，对人民币是利好影响，人民币会有一个被动升值的动 ...

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 4.00%-4.25%, marking the first rate cut of 2025 and following three cuts in 2024 [2][5] - The Fed's dot plot indicates two more rate cuts are expected by the end of the year, each by 25 basis points, potentially totaling a 75 basis point reduction [2][9] - The market reacted strongly to the Fed's decision, with U.S. stock indices showing mixed results, while A-shares and Hong Kong stocks declined despite expectations of improved liquidity [3][4][14] Group 2 - Recent employment data in the U.S. has been disappointing, with non-farm payrolls increasing by only 22,000 in August, significantly below expectations, and the unemployment rate rising to 4.3% [6][8] - Inflation indicators also support the Fed's decision to cut rates, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) showing a month-on-month decline of 0.1% in August, contrary to market expectations of an increase [6][8] Group 3 - The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has also lowered its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.50% in response to the Fed's actions [10] - Analysts suggest that the People's Bank of China may have room for monetary policy easing, potentially through rate cuts or reserve requirement ratio adjustments, to support the economy [11][12] Group 4 - The current economic conditions suggest that the Fed's rate cuts are more of a preventive measure rather than a response to a crisis, aiming to mitigate potential economic risks [13] - The impact of the Fed's rate cuts on asset prices is expected to vary, with potential benefits for growth sectors and interest-sensitive industries in both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks [15][16]

预测呈现增长更高、就业更稳、通胀略升的组合，印证预防式降息逻辑：与6月相比，2026年GDP增速 预期上调0.2个百分点，失业率下调0.1个百分点，而PCE通胀预期小幅上调0.2个百分点，说明美联储认 为适度提前降息有助于托底增长、稳定就业，通胀回升则更多源于关税和商品价格的"一次性冲击"，长 期回落趋势不改。鲍威尔在记者会上也强调，劳动力市场的疲软并非需求全面塌陷，而更多来自移民减 少导致的供给约束，同时需求同步走弱形成供需双降的格局。在这一背景下，25个基点的降息旨在避免 失业率短期内过快攀升，而非开启激进宽松。 市场反应整体淡化鸽派，美元与美债保持韧性：在声明与点阵图公布后，CME交易反映年内还有两次 降息。不过新闻发布会上鲍威尔强调政策仍具限制性后，资产反应有所修正。利率端，2年期收益率一 度下探，随后回升至3.5%附近;10年期基本稳定在4.0%上下，曲线倒挂小幅收敛但未出现单边陡峭化。 美元指数在议息夜快速收复跌幅，黄金抽高回落。该行维持年内仅剩一次降息，幅度25个基点，最可能 落点在12月会议的判断，除非就业市场出现大幅失速。 （原标题：中国银河证券：美联储"预防式"减息开启 点阵图显示多数派倾 ...

中新社北京9月18日电 题：三问美联储年内首次降息，对股债汇影响几何？ 中新社记者 夏宾 时隔9个月，美联储重启降息。 北京时间18日凌晨，美联储宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点到4%至4.25%之间的水平。这是 美联储2025年的首次降息。 为何选择此时降息？ 保持物价稳定和实现充分就业，是美联储的双重使命。 近期，美国劳工部公布的最新就业数据持续显著低于预期，表明美国就业市场的实际表现比先前预期更 为疲软。从此次美联储议息会议的声明看，经济前景不确定性仍然较高，美联储双重使命面临风险。 换言之，美联储当下的政策重点正向保就业倾斜。美联储主席鲍威尔称，美联储的政策一直侧重控制通 胀，现在正朝着更中性的政策方向发展。"美国劳动力市场正在降温，是时候在政策制定中考虑到这一 点了。" 鲍威尔称，美国经济只是短暂放缓而非衰退，本次降息是一项风险管理决策，属于"预防式"降息，没有 必要快速调整利率。 汇丰环球投资研究美国经济学家瑞恩(Ryan Wang)说，如果美国的劳动力市场状况进一步恶化，尤其是 申领失业救济金人数趋于上升的话，则不排除美联储考虑在今年10月再一次降息25个基点或是在明年增 加降息幅度的可 ...

尽管通胀亦有所上升，但当前美联储的政策天平更倾向于呵护就业。 本次决议投票中，仅新就职理事Miran投下反对票，其认为应降息50bp，鸽派明显。 美联储经济展望： 美联储预期本轮降息将较为有效地提振经济增长、促进就业，进一步暗示本轮"预防式降息"周期的幅 度或有限。 专题：美联储如期降息25个基点 鲍威尔坚称通胀仍处相对高位 9月美联储议息会议如期降息25bp，华安基金表示，政策天平倾向于呵护就业，点阵图指示年内仍有2次 降息。但联储主席在发布会上的表态偏鹰，导致大类资产走势反复，美元指数和美债利率走出V型，黄 金先涨后跌，美股也是下跌后有所反弹。（数据来源：Wind，截至2025/9/18） 决议声明： 美联储如期降息25BP，至4.0%-4.25%的利率区间。 强调就业的下行风险，在声明中表示"就业增长有所放缓，失业率有所抬升但仍较低"。 GDP预测上修：2025-2027年的预测均上修。 失业率预测上修：2026、2027年的预测均下修0.1%。 通胀预测基本不变：仅2026年的PCE预测上修0.2%。 鲍威尔发布会表态： 鲍威尔指出本次降息是一次"风险管理式"降息，表述整体偏鹰，未来降息决策仍取决于后 ...
