半年度宏观展望：柳暗花明，股债双牛 20250602 摘要 中国 2025 年全年 GDP 预计增长 5%，受益于美国关税阶段性下调和积 极的财政政策，但下半年可能面临增速放缓，三、四季度 GDP 增速或分 别降至 4.8%和 4.7%。 下半年财政和货币政策预计将侧重于稳就业，针对低附加值企业订单流 失导致的就业问题，政策将更偏向供给端，需求侧刺激可能相对缺位， 物价表现预计偏弱。 中美经贸关系仍具不确定性，关税豁免期结束后，关税上浮概率较大， 但两国元首可能在 G20 峰会上会面，或提振市场对达成经贸协定的预期。 下半年看好股票和债券，股票方面，红利类资产因中美关系不确定性具 备防御优势，科技类资产受益于机构资产配置偏好调整；债券方面，预 计 10 年期国债利率可能继续下探至 1.5%。 制造业投资是固定资产投资中最强劲的指标，受益于重大工程投资、设 备更新和高技术相关投资，以及新质生产力的推动，全年增速预计为 9.0%。 Q&A 2025 年下半年宏观经济环境的总体判断是什么？ 2025 年下半年，宏观经济依然面临一定的下行压力。全年需求被前置是主要 原因之一，因此预计三四季度 GDP 可能会下降。从外 ...
