近期市场反应的焦点，主要围绕"撤销消费税"的政策揣测，相关讨论推动日元转弱，并令长期政府债券 收益率上升。不过，日本整体财政状况仍相对稳健，预算赤字仅占当地生产总值约0.2%，远低于多数 已发展市场。即使撤销为期两年的消费税，其财政影响亦仅相当于当地生产总值约1%，并可透过其他 政策措施抵销。因此，在选举结果及政策方向正式明朗前，较审慎的做法是避免过度解读市场揣测。 普徕仕日本及环球股票投资组合专家就日本提前大选表示，从日本股票的角度看，宣布提前大选的消息 引发日元及日本国债市场的波动明显加剧。尽管市场杂音与揣测升温，但相关波动并未改变该行核心投 资观点。市场普遍仍预期自民党可望稳胜，甚至毋须依赖执政联盟伙伴，便可取得多数议席。 整体而言，普徕仕对日本股票维持正面看法，并认为市场对宏观不确定性的忧虑或有所高估。市场 对"高市交易"的关注，尤其集中于国防及核能相关股份，相关利好因素在很大程度上已经反映。事实 上，这些板块在选举结果公布前已处于偏高估值水平，主要受地缘政治风险升温，以及北约成员国增加 国防开支等结构性因素支持。 普徕仕认为，具吸引力的投资机会或将出现在可受惠于日元转强或潜在消费税宽免的板块，包括部 ...

Core Viewpoint - In 2026, overseas fiscal policies are expected to align with geopolitical factors, leading to a pro-cyclical expansion path. Fiscal policy is both a driver of economic resilience and a source of debt risk. The current debt situation is overextending future growth capabilities, and how to address this debt will determine the boundaries of monetary independence [1]. Group 1: Fiscal Policy Shift - In 2025, fiscal policies in the US, Europe, and Japan are transitioning from counter-cyclical to cross-cyclical, with a significant expansion of fiscal goals to include supply-side restructuring and defense spending. This shift indicates a more rigid approach to debt expansion [2][3]. - The constraints on fiscal expansion are weakening, as political and geopolitical pressures reduce the motivation for parties to impose debt limits. The risk of debt default is low for developed sovereign currency countries, transforming debt risk into liquidity risk, reflected in rising inflation expectations and interest rates [2][3]. Group 2: Fiscal Expansion in 2026 - In 2026, fiscal policies in the US, Europe, and Japan will see significant increases in defense spending, with Japan's deficit expected to rise by 0.8 percentage points to 3.2%, the US by 0.8 percentage points to 6.8%, and Germany by 0.9 percentage points to 4.0% [3][4]. - The focus of fiscal expansion will shift towards supply-side investments, particularly in defense, AI industry subsidies, and infrastructure investments, with defense spending in Germany expected to increase by 25% and in the US by 10% [3][4]. Group 3: Dual Nature of Fiscal Policy - The fiscal expansion will support economic growth in the US, Germany, and Japan, with the US expected to see a growth rate of 2.3% in 2026, driven by fiscal contributions of 0.5-0.6 percentage points [5][6]. - However, the accumulation of debt risks is also a concern, as the economic recovery is occurring alongside rising debt levels, leading to potential market disruptions [5][6]. Group 4: Implications for Monetary Policy - The methods for addressing fiscal issues will ultimately determine the boundaries of the Federal Reserve's independence. Traditional methods of debt reduction, such as fiscal consolidation and financial repression, face challenges in the current environment [6][7]. - The ongoing fiscal expansion may lead to a situation where monetary policy is increasingly influenced by fiscal decisions, eroding the independence of central banks [6][7].

野村跨资产策略师查理·麦克埃利戈特认为，投资者本已做好今年迎接人工智能领域逆风的准备，却不 料遭遇了原本预计许久后才会出现的次生逆风。 他解释道，市场本以为将面临人工智能超大规模服务商现金消耗殆尽这类 "渐进式失血"的逆风。这一 情况要么会拖累股票回购，要么会让为其提供资金的债券市场陷入担忧。 野村认为，人工智能颠覆性影响的次生担忧已提前显现。在麦克埃利戈特看来，这一影响不仅波及法律 领域的软件企业，还蔓延至金融服务行业，甚至资产管理机构。那些被市场给予高估值的高成长、高利 润率 "高价"软件 / 软件服务企业遭遇了 "极具颠覆性的崩盘"，这也意味着，信贷市场的担忧正传导至 向这些软件企业放贷的机构。与此同时，金融科技 / 消费金融领域也开始受到自身人工智能颠覆性影响 担忧的波及。 随着投资者关注到人工智能技术的快速发展或颠覆某些行业商业模式，同时相关板块的热潮可持续性担 忧再次涌现，本周美股部分成长性板块面临巨大考验，纳指和标普500指数进一步脱离历史高位。 与此同时，资金开始撤出转向工业、运输等避险板块，等待形势进一步明朗。 市场抛压加剧 受软件板块与大型科技股走弱拖累，美股本周面临巨大抛售压力。导火索在 ...
