Group 1 - The core debate in the market revolves around whether the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts signify a "rate cut trade" indicating a soft landing for the U.S. economy, or a "recession trade" suggesting significant risks for equities [2][3][7] - Current economic indicators in the U.S. are weak but not at recession levels, with key metrics remaining relatively high compared to historical recession periods [8][11][14] - The employment market's traditional signaling of recession risks may be diminishing due to factors such as AI-driven investment and an aging population, which alters the relationship between employment, income, and consumption [17][20] Group 2 - The Federal Reserve's proactive measures have reduced the likelihood of a financial crisis, thereby increasing the difficulty of a recession occurring in the U.S. [4][25] - Historical responses to financial crises, such as the rapid implementation of quantitative easing during the 2019 monetary crisis and the swift actions following the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, illustrate the Fed's commitment to maintaining economic stability [5][25] - The current macroeconomic environment, characterized by weak economic performance but not a recession, is favorable for both U.S. equities and bonds in the medium term [6][26][27]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article is the anticipation of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, with a high probability of a 25 basis point cut, which is expected to influence global markets significantly [2][3][34] - The article emphasizes that the Federal Reserve's decisions impact not only the U.S. market but also global assets including U.S. stocks, bonds, A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and commodities like gold [5][6] Group 2 - The article outlines three potential scenarios for the interest rate cut: no cut, a 25 basis point cut, and a 50 basis point cut, detailing the expected market reactions for each scenario [7][9][10] - In the case of a 25 basis point cut, it is viewed as beneficial for risk assets, while a 50 basis point cut could raise concerns about a potential recession, depending on market confidence in the U.S. economy [9][34] - Historical data shows that during previous significant rate cuts, equity markets generally experienced declines, while fixed income assets like U.S. Treasuries and gold tended to perform well [29][30][31] Group 3 - The article provides a summary of past Federal Reserve rate cut cycles, highlighting the economic conditions and market responses during those periods, indicating a consistent pattern of equity declines amid aggressive rate cuts [14][21][29] - It notes that during the 2001-2003 and 2007-2008 rate cut cycles, equity markets faced significant downturns, while fixed income and gold assets showed resilience [18][22][28] - The analysis suggests that the current market sentiment remains optimistic about the U.S. economy, with a 25 basis point cut being the most likely outcome, which could support risk assets like A-shares and Hong Kong stocks [34]

Investment Highlights - Precious metals: Gold has reached a new historical high, with continued recommendations for investment. Recent weak economic data from the US has led to a decline in the dollar index, and gold is poised for an upward trend as it prepares for the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. Even if the meeting outcomes align with expectations, there is no need to rush to take profits, as the market is likely shifting from recession trading to stagflation trading, indicating a potential slow bull market for gold [2][3] - Copper: If interest rate cuts can facilitate a soft landing, copper prices may rise. LME copper has surpassed $10,000. Despite a weakening US economy, the market appears to be pricing in future stagflation or soft landing scenarios, leading to an upward trend in copper prices. With the domestic consumption peak approaching and downstream operating rates expected to improve, copper prices are likely to rise [2][3] - Aluminum: Continued optimism for rising aluminum prices. Shanghai aluminum prices have increased, driven by significant improvements in downstream operating rates, which have risen to 62.1%. Although the real estate sector remains sluggish, demand from the renewable energy sector is providing effective support. The mid-term impact of US aluminum tariffs is expected to be limited, and the long-term outlook for electrolytic aluminum remains positive [3] - Cobalt: Prices for cobalt intermediates continue to rise, with attention on the dynamics of electrolytic cobalt and policy changes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Cobalt product prices have increased, with weekly growth rates of 4.55% for cobalt sulfate and 2.06% for electrolytic cobalt. The market anticipates further supply constraints due to upcoming policy changes in the DRC, which could drive prices higher [3] - Tin: Price increases driven by interest rate cut expectations and supply shortages. Tin prices rose by 2.70%, with operating rates for refined tin in Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces dropping to 28.48%. Supply constraints are expected to persist due to raw material shortages and seasonal maintenance [4] - Lithium: Prices under pressure due to the announcement of a resumption plan at the Jiangxi mine. Lithium prices have declined, primarily due to market expectations surrounding the resumption of production. However, supply growth is expected to slow, and demand from the energy storage sector remains strong, indicating a potential improvement in the carbonated lithium supply-demand balance [4] Investment Recommendations - Companies to watch include Huayou Cobalt, Zhongtung High-tech, Zhangyuan Tungsten, Hunan Gold, Huayu Mining, Shanjin International, Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining, Zijin Mining, Luoyang Molybdenum, Shenhuo Co., and Yun Aluminum [5]

Group 3: Investment Strategy and Risk-Return Profile - Gold's unique risk-return characteristics allow it to optimize the risk-adjusted returns of investment portfolios, making it a strategic asset in various macroeconomic scenarios [17][20]. - A quantitative framework is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of gold in multi-asset portfolios, with a suggested minimum allocation of 6% and a maximum of 7.7% to maintain a balance between risk and return [22][23]. Group 4: Economic and Financial Factors - Gold's long-term price dynamics are influenced by both economic factors (like GDP growth) and financial factors (global investment portfolios), reflecting its dual nature as both a consumption and investment asset [19][20]. - Historical data shows that gold has a lower correlation with major asset classes, which aids in diversifying investment portfolio risks [20][21]. Group 5: Geopolitical and Market Dynamics - Recent geopolitical tensions, such as the Israel-Iran conflict, have not significantly impacted gold prices, indicating that gold's pricing is not solely driven by geopolitical events [27][28]. - The article suggests that the market's focus may shift towards "recession trades" and liquidity easing as key drivers for gold prices in the latter half of the year [29].
