"安倍继承者"高市早苗在自民党总裁选举中胜出，引发日元"崩跌"，美元/日元汇率突破153关口，野村和花旗一致认为短期日元将继续下跌，花旗预期美元/ 日元或升至154-155区间。 据追风交易台消息，野村证券在最新研报中表示，政治不确定性成为市场焦点。民主党表示暂不加入自民党-公明党联盟，据NHK最新报道日本公明党计划 退出与自民党的执政联盟，日本执政联盟预计将在周五解体。 野村表示，联盟结果将直接影响日元走势，自民党单独执政则可能引发"高市交易"逆转，导致股市下跌、超长期国债被抛售以及日元进一步贬值。 花旗银行分析显示，短期内美元/日元汇率不排除会上升至154-155的区间。然而，花旗维持长期观点，认为自去年夏天汇率从约160的高点大幅下跌以来， 美元/日元一直在构建一个大型的三角形顶部形态，颈线位于140附近。 日元突破关键阻力位，当局保持沉默 美元兑日元在伦敦交易时段开盘后进一步上涨，突破153水平。尽管本周初以来日元贬值速度较快，但日本当局今日尚未进行口头干预，市场似乎正在测试 高市政府对日元弱势的容忍度。 从利差交易角度来看，日元仍然是缺乏吸引力的货币。尽管日本政治不确定性加剧，但"高市交易"背后的动 ...

Core Viewpoint - The resurgence of carry trades among emerging market investors is driven by expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, leading to a weaker dollar and increased interest in high-yield currencies [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - Asset management firms such as Neuberger Berman and Aberdeen Group are increasing their positions in currencies from countries like Brazil, South Africa, and Egypt [1] - The weakening dollar and reduced volatility have created a favorable environment for carry trade strategies [1] - Earlier this year, these trades recorded double-digit returns, but a rebound in the dollar in July caused a temporary halt [1] Group 2: Economic Indicators - Recent poor U.S. employment data has strengthened market expectations that policymakers will have to cut rates next month to avoid an economic recession, reviving interest in arbitrage trading [1] - Institutions like DoubleLine and UBS have recently joined the bearish dollar camp, indicating a renewed narrative of dollar weakness [1] Group 3: Investment Preferences - Neuberger Berman's co-head of emerging market debt, Urquieta, expressed a limited likelihood of a significant dollar rebound, while noting that global economic growth remains relatively stable [1] - Urquieta favors carry trades in South Africa, Turkey, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, and South Korea [1]

Core Viewpoint - After the reduction of tariffs, the average effective tariff in the U.S. has decreased from over 20% to 12%, leading to a decrease in inflation and stagflation risks. Consequently, Bank of America (BofA) maintains its interest rate forecasts for 2025 unchanged [1] Interest Rate Predictions - BofA forecasts the 2-year Treasury yield at 3.75%, the 10-year yield at 4.5%, and the 30-year yield at 4.9% by the end of 2025 [1] Interest Rate Curve Strategy - The strategy is adjusted to recommend a "flattening" trade between December 2025 and December 2026, with a target shift from -34 basis points to -70 basis points. This is based on the reduced likelihood of rate cuts in 2025, expected further decline in inflation in 2026, and potential divergence in strategies under new Federal Reserve leadership [2] Duration Positioning - BofA maintains a slightly positive bias towards mid-duration (5-year) bonds, suggesting gradual accumulation of longer-duration positions as the market has previously overestimated recession risks and underestimated hard data support. The 10-year Treasury yield is expected to stabilize in the range of 4.5% to 4.75% [3] Spread Outlook - The short-term outlook for spreads is neutral, while the long-term view is bearish on the 30-year spread due to fiscal deficits and supply pressures in U.S. Treasuries. The short-end (2-5 year) spreads remain neutral to slightly positive due to stable short-term financing conditions [4] Inflation Trading Strategy - The strategy is neutral on inflation trades, closing short positions on 1-year inflation while retaining long positions on 2-year and 3-year inflation, anticipating mid-term inflation to have upward potential, particularly relative to the Eurozone [5] Volatility Strategy - The volatility strategy leans towards short-term bullish and long-term conditional steepening, recommending a 6-month "costless" 2s10s lower bound volatility trade and a long-term "bear steepening" combination based on the 5s30s rate differential to address market repricing risks [5]
