Core Viewpoint - The "valuation-dividend" quadrant analysis framework indicates that industries with low valuation (P/E percentile < 50%) and high dividend yield (> 3%) (Quadrant II) exhibit significant excess returns, while high valuation and low dividend yield industries (Quadrant IV) face notable correction risks. The food and beverage industry has transitioned from a high valuation trap (Quadrant IV) in 2021 to a low valuation and high dividend yield zone (Quadrant II) after four years of valuation digestion, enhancing its investment attractiveness and safety margin due to a low valuation level (12.0% historical percentile) and a relatively high dividend yield (3.6%) [2][6]. Group 1: Valuation-Dividend Quadrant Model - The "valuation-dividend" quadrant model is constructed using valuation and dividend dimensions to assess industry allocation value. The horizontal axis represents the P/E percentile, calculated using dynamic historical percentiles from the past 20 years, while the vertical axis represents the rolling dividend yield from the past 12 months. Quadrant I includes high valuation (historical percentile > 50%) and high dividend yield (> 3%) industries, Quadrant II includes low valuation (historical percentile < 50%) and high dividend yield (> 3%) industries, Quadrant III includes low valuation (historical percentile < 50%) and low dividend yield (< 3%) industries, and Quadrant IV includes high valuation (historical percentile > 50%) and low dividend yield (< 3%) industries. Historically, industries in Quadrant II tend to have better risk-return ratios and allocation value, while Quadrant IV industries require caution [4][15]. Group 2: Historical Validation - As of the end of 2023, the banking industry was in Quadrant II, with a dividend yield of 6.0% and a P/E percentile of only 0.3%. This configuration highlighted the industry's allocation value, leading to a significant outperformance of the banking sector, which rose by 52.83% from early 2024 to August 8, 2025, outperforming the broader market by 30.64 percentage points [18]. - In contrast, during the market peak in Q3 2021, the food and beverage and power equipment industries were in Quadrant IV, with dividend yields of 1.1% and 0.4%, and P/E historical percentiles of 78.0% and 82.3%, respectively. These industries subsequently underperformed the market, with returns from Q4 2021 to August 8, 2025, being -34.82% and -34.75%, lagging the broader market by approximately 35 percentage points [19]. Group 3: Food and Beverage Industry Transition - The food and beverage industry has transitioned from a risk zone to a value zone, entering Quadrant II as of August 8, 2025, with a P/E percentile of 12.0% and a dividend yield of 3.6%. This shift signifies a qualitative change, as the current low valuation level and relatively high dividend yield enhance the industry's allocation cost-effectiveness and safety margin [22]. Group 4: Weekly Economic Observation - The Huachuang Macro WEI index rose to over 7%, reaching 7.28% as of August 3, 2025, up from 6.35% on July 27, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by infrastructure (asphalt operating rate) and durable goods consumption (passenger car sales) [7][25]. - In real estate, the decline in residential sales has narrowed, with a year-on-year decrease of -17% in the first week of August across 67 cities, compared to -22% in July [8][29]. - The operating rate of asphalt facilities was 31.7% as of August 6, 2025, showing a year-on-year increase of 5.2%, while cement dispatch rates were at 39.2%, slightly down from the previous week but better than the same period last year [33].

美国农业部经济研究局的报告指出，面对关税政策，美国牛肉价格上涨在短期内不会缓解。消费者在相当长时间里将不得不花更多钱购买越来越少的牛肉。 消费者支出更加谨慎，包括麦当劳在内的多家连锁餐饮企业高管表示，数据显示消费者正选择更低价格的菜品，或干脆不外出就餐。 美国密歇根州州长惠特默近期在私下会晤中向特朗普直言，当前的关税政策正在对美国汽车产业造成实质性伤害。这一表态凸显了关税政策在美国国内引发 的争议，特别是对关键摇摆州经济支柱产业的冲击。密歇根州作为美国汽车工业的心脏地带，其州长的警告反映出关税政策带来的深层次经济担忧。 密歇根州汽车产业正承受着关税政策带来的沉重压力。该州拥有美国三大汽车制造商通用、福特与斯特兰蒂斯汽车公司约50家工厂。这些制造企业为密歇根 州创造了近60万个工作岗位，构成了该州经济的重要支撑。 美国劳工统计局的数据揭示了关税政策的负面影响。特朗普政府上台以来，密歇根州已有7500个工作岗位消失。当地汽车产业遭到关税政策的严重冲击，企 业运营成本大幅上升。福特汽车最新财报显示，公司因关税成本在第二季度损失8亿美元，这是其自2023年以来首次出现季度亏损。 通用汽车同样面临巨大损失，第二季度因关 ...

就业市场方面，初请失业金人数从上周的21.9万增加到22.6万，市场预期22万。续请失业金人数环比上 升3.8万，达到197.1万。尽管裁员人数仍然很低，但失业的人需要更长的时间才能找到另一份工作。在 贸易战造成的不确定性影响下，企业不再快速招聘。 牛津经济研究院高级经济学家施瓦茨（Bob Schwartz）在接受第一财经记者采访时表示，劳动力市场走 向两个方向：对有工作的人来说，因为换工作相对于留下的工资溢价已经减小，这为留下来提供了强烈 的动力；但这减少了劳动力市场的波动，使失业者难以就业。如果裁员增加，两极分化的劳动力市场可 能会迅速变化，带来经济不确定性。 最近疲软的经济数据支撑了美联储降息的预期，根据芝加哥商品交易所的FedWatch工具，美联储在9月 会议上降息至少25个基点的预期为89.4%，高于一周前的80.3%。市场预计，年底前美联储降息75个基 点的概率升至50%以上。 摩根大通已将美联储首次降息的预测上调至9月，放弃了之前的12月时间表，因为劳动力市场数据疲 软，美联储内部的政治动态发生了变化。该行预测，在9月之后美联储暂停宽松周期之前，利率将再下 调三次。 美股上周强势上涨，创6月以来 ...
