摘要 第一，回顾2025年，全球宏观面有五大特征：一是实际增长率大致稳定，IMF预计2025年全球经济增速为3.2%，和2024年区别不大，关税冲击被进口抢跑 和AI投资部分对冲，是韧性的主要来源；二是不同经济体分化，美国实际增速有所下滑，欧日小幅反弹，新兴市场维持韧性增速；三是通胀和货币政策 分化，但宽松为主，欧元区上半年降息、美国下半年降息、日本加息、新兴市场多数降息；四是关税带来扰动，上半年贸易环境急剧变化带来一定微观抢 跑效应；下半年则随着贸易环境缓和而趋于正常化；五是AI产业链预期升温，带来主要经济体资本开支和全球贸易的增量，以及有色金属需求的强预 期。 第二，从上述特征来理解全球资产定价：一是增长环境的平稳和主要经济体财政货币政策宽松带来了风险资产机会，大宗商品、股票均有较高收益；二是 美国降息带来美元资产利差下降，关税带来信用风险溢价上升，双逻辑下的美元走弱成为大类资产定价的关键助推因素；三是新兴市场有着相对韧性的增 长，叠加资金流出美元资产后的再配置效应，相对收益明显；四是AI的产业基本面、全球产业链重塑预期，叠加有利的流动性环境，形成强叙事特征， 并向有色金属等领域传递。这是一个比较"顺"的 ...

Market Performance - Overseas computing power recovery led to a rise of over 4% in the Communication ETF (515880) and the ChiNext AI ETF (159388) during trading today [1] Factors Driving the Increase - Recent US earnings reports indicate several key points: - Capital expenditures are accelerating, with Google projecting 2026 capital spending between $175 billion and $185 billion, nearly doubling year-on-year; Meta's full-year capital expenditure guidance is $115 billion to $135 billion, a 73% year-on-year increase; Amazon's guidance is $200 billion, a 53% increase year-on-year [2] - Microsoft did not provide full-year guidance but noted a seasonal quarter-on-quarter decline, likely due to factors like financing leases. The market previously expected a 42% growth in North American CSP capital expenditures for 2026, but recent earnings reports show capital expenditure growth significantly exceeding expectations [2] CPO Penetration and Market Sentiment - CPO penetration is exceeding expectations, but attention is needed on scale-up and scale-out dynamics.

The domestic optical module leaders may secure some orders in the scale-up segment, indicating that CPO penetration in scale-up represents incremental growth rather than a replacement [3] - Market sentiment has rebounded from previous lows, with US markets recovering last Friday, influencing A-shares today. Both markets have faced issues related to funding and sentiment, with A-shares experiencing declining trading volumes since late January [3] Future Outlook - US earnings reports reaffirm the certainty of AI, with ongoing shortages in computing power. Google reported that Gemini 3.0 is the fastest model in its history, with over 750 million monthly active users for Gemini applications. Google also announced a partnership with Apple to develop the next-generation Apple foundational model. The management indicated that investments in AI infrastructure will gradually increase throughout the year, with a continued tight supply of computing power expected [4] - The focus remains on core segments like optical modules and servers, which are positioned at the heart of the global AI industry chain. With capital expenditures for 2026 significantly exceeding expectations, the outlook for optical modules and servers is strengthening, making Communication ETF (515880) and ChiNext AI ETF (159388) attractive for interested investors [4]
