可能远超预期!全球商品,迎第三轮“超级周期”
券商中国· 2026-01-25 23:25
Core Viewpoint - The global commodity market is entering a new "super cycle," driven by factors such as excessive monetary issuance, a credit crisis in the US dollar, technological innovations, and geopolitical conflicts reshaping supply chains [1][2]. Group 1: Factors Driving the Super Cycle - The current super cycle is rooted in global monetary overissuance, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to significant inflation and asset price increases [2]. - Four key factors are contributing to this cycle: the US debt cycle and the restructuring of dollar credit, structural demand driven by AI and green energy transitions, geopolitical changes affecting supply chain security, and supply constraints following a decade of reduced capital expenditure in the mining sector [3][4][5]. Group 2: Domestic Price Trends and Economic Policies - China's Producer Price Index (PPI) is showing signs of recovery, with a 0.2% month-on-month increase in December 2025, indicating a potential turning point for domestic prices [6]. - Three core factors are expected to drive this price recovery: a strong base effect from previous low commodity prices, the impact of "anti-involution" policies aimed at improving industry profitability, and stabilization in the real estate sector after years of decline [7][8]. Group 3: Strategic Asset Allocation - Fund managers are increasingly reallocating towards cyclical assets, particularly in the non-ferrous metals and chemical sectors, as they anticipate a recovery in commodity prices and domestic economic conditions [9][10]. - Notable investments include significant positions in leading mining companies and a strategic focus on industrial metals and small metals, which are expected to benefit from new demand drivers such as AI infrastructure and energy transitions [11][12].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report is optimistic about the equity market before the end of February, and focuses on whether the current growth - dominant style can gradually shift to a balanced or even value - dominant style. If this scenario occurs, the risk of bond market adjustment in February will increase [2][9][22]. - In the context of the marginal convergence of the national balance sheet, the top - down subjective allocation strategy focusing on position selection and style judgment will receive more attention and favor from the market [9][22]. - In the de - leveraging cycle, the margin of the stock - bond ratio in favor of equities is limited, and the probability of value being relatively dominant in style is higher [10][58]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 National Balance Sheet Analysis 3.1.1 Liability Side - In December 2025, the liability growth rate of the real sector was 8.4%, down from the previous value of 8.6%, in line with expectations. It is expected to continue to decline to around 8.3% in January 2026. The local bond issuance rhythm seems to have accelerated this week. If it continues in February, it may drive a slight rebound in the liability growth rate of the real sector, but the probability of further relaxation of the capital market in February is limited [2][17]. - The central bank's fourth - quarter meeting in 2025 indicated that the general direction of stabilizing the macro - leverage ratio remains unchanged, and it is waiting for the quantitative fiscal targets to be given at the Two Sessions in 2026 [2][17]. 3.1.2 Fiscal Policy - Last week, the net increase of government bonds (including national and local bonds) was 62.14 billion yuan, higher than the planned 50.75 billion yuan. Next week, the planned net increase is 14.13 billion yuan. The government liability growth rate at the end of December 2025 was 12.4%, down from the previous value of 13.1%. It is expected to rebound to around 12.5% in January 2026 and likely decline again in February [3][18]. 3.1.3 Monetary Policy - Last week, the capital trading volume decreased, the capital price decreased, and the term spread narrowed on a weekly average basis. After excluding seasonal effects, the capital market slightly tightened. The one - year Treasury bond yield oscillated upward, closing at 1.28% at the weekend. It is estimated that the lower limit of the one - year Treasury bond yield is about 1.3%, and the central value is around 1.4%. It is expected to cut interest rates by 10 basis points in 2026. The term spread between the ten - year and one - year Treasury bonds narrowed to 55 basis points. The bond market shows that the capital market has basically reached the limit of relaxation [3][18]. 3.1.4 Asset Side - In December 2025, the physical quantity data continued to run smoothly compared with November. It is necessary to focus on whether the economy can continue to stabilize or even improve marginally. The Two Sessions set the annual real economic growth target for 2025 at around 5%. Based on the deficit and deficit rate (4%), the annual nominal economic growth target is 4.9%. It is necessary to further observe whether a nominal economic growth rate of around 5% will become the central target for China's nominal economic growth in the next 1 - 2 years [4][19]. 3.2 Stock - Bond Cost - Effectiveness and Stock - Bond Style - Since 2011, China has entered a downward cycle of potential economic growth, which seems to have ended in the fourth quarter of 2024. Subsequently, China's profit cycle has entered a state of low - level narrow - range oscillation. The Chinese government put forward three policy goals in 2016: stabilizing the macro - leverage ratio, making the financial sector benefit the real economy, and ensuring that houses are for living in, not for speculation. Currently, the convergence of the liability side has not ended, but the space is limited [7][20]. - Overseas, China and the United States are in a state of equal - strength competition. If the valuation of the technology fields where the United States was previously leading undergoes a systematic re - evaluation, global funds may flow from the United States to China. Attention should be paid to whether the RMB exchange rate begins to gradually enter an appreciation channel. The risk preference may also enter a range - bound state following the profit [7][20][21]. - Last week, the capital market slightly tightened. The equity market rose as a whole, but value stocks continued to weaken, with the growth style remaining dominant. In terms of bond yields, the long - end declined slightly, and the short - end rose. The stock - bond cost - effectiveness slightly favored equities. The ten - year Treasury bond yield decreased by 1 basis point to 1.83%, the one - year Treasury bond yield increased by 4 basis points to 1.28%, the term spread narrowed to 55 basis points, and the 30 - year Treasury bond yield decreased by 2 basis points to 2.29%. The full - position equity strategy with equal allocation of growth and value performed well, and the broad - based rotation strategy outperformed the CSI 300 index by 1.29 pct last week. Since its establishment in July 2024, the broad - based rotation strategy has underperformed the CSI 300 index by - 1.49 pct, with a maximum drawdown of 12.1% (compared with 15.7% for the CSI 300 index) [8][21]. - This week, the Shanghai 50 Index (60% position) and the CSI 1000 Index (40% position) are recommended. The broad - based index recommendation is a top - down subjective allocation strategy focusing on position selection and style judgment, which can accommodate a large amount of funds, has small fluctuations, and good liquidity [9][22]. 3.3 Industry Recommendation 3.3.1 Industry Performance Review - This week, the A - share market rose with shrinking trading volume. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.84%, the Shenzhen Component Index rose 1.1%, and the ChiNext Index fell 0.3%.

Banks, communications, food and beverages, non - bank finance, and pharmaceuticals had the largest declines, with valuation changes of - 2.8%, - 2.1%, - 1.4%, - 1.4%, and - 0.5% respectively. - In terms of valuation - earnings matching, as of January 23, 2026, industries with relatively high full - year 2024 earnings forecasts and relatively low current valuations compared to history include banks, insurance, coal, public utilities, transportation, pharmaceuticals, beauty care, new energy, and consumer electronics [35][36]. 3.3.4 Industry Prosperity - In terms of external demand, there were mixed trends. In December, the global manufacturing PMI decreased from 50.5 to 50.4, and the PMIs of major economies showed mixed trends. The CCFI index decreased by 0.09% week - on - week in the latest week.

The weekly growth rates of the 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50% quantiles were 4.7%, 3.5%, 2.7%, and 1.5% respectively, while the CSI 300 declined 0.6% weekly. - According to the latest net value and share estimates, as of January 23, the net asset value of active public offering equity funds was 4.06 trillion yuan, up from 3.66 trillion yuan in Q4 2024 [55]. 3.3.6 Industry Recommendation - In the de - leveraging cycle, the margin of the stock - bond ratio in favor of equities is limited, and the probability of value being relatively dominant in style is higher. Red - chip stocks are generally expected to have three characteristics: no balance - sheet expansion, good earnings, and survival. Combining these three characteristics with the under - allocation in the public offering's fourth - quarter report, the recommended A + H red - chip portfolio includes 13 A + H stocks, and the A - share portfolio includes 20 A - share stocks, mainly concentrated in industries such as banks, telecommunications, petroleum and petrochemicals, and transportation.

- The report discusses a **quantitative timing model based on volume signals**, which indicates a "bullish" view for all major indices except the ChiNext Index as of January 23, 2026[30][31][33] - A **momentum sentiment indicator** is introduced, calculated as the proportion of stocks in the CSI 300 Index with positive returns over the past N days. The indicator is smoothed using two moving averages (N1=50, N2=35). When the short-term average exceeds the long-term average, it signals a bullish market sentiment[32][34][36] - The **moving average sentiment indicator** is based on the eight moving averages (8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233). The indicator assigns values of -1, 0, or 1 based on the position of the current price relative to these moving averages. A value greater than 5 indicates a bullish signal for the CSI 300 Index[40][44] - The **cross-sectional volatility factor** is analyzed, showing that the CSI 300 Index's cross-sectional volatility increased week-over-week, indicating an improved short-term alpha environment. Conversely, the cross-sectional volatility for the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices decreased, suggesting a deteriorated alpha environment[45][46] - The **time-series volatility factor** is also evaluated, revealing that the time-series volatility for the CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 indices decreased week-over-week, indicating a worsening alpha environment. Over the past quarter, the CSI 300 Index's volatility was in the lower range of the past six months, while the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 indices were in the middle range[46][49]
