今年美股"最强交易"开始变盘了？ 动量策略今年在美股表现强劲。年初至今，在标普500仅上涨5%的情况下，高盛动量策略指数同期上涨了20%。如果把期限拓展到18个月，在标普500上涨 30%的情况下，高盛高Beta动量对冲指数（GSPRHIMO）同期涨幅达到惊人的80%。 历史数据揭示更深调整风险 摩根士丹利QDS主管Chris Metli表示，虽然当前事件的严重程度可能不及2月底至3月初DeepSeek引发的暴跌（当时MSZZMOMO篮子暴跌21%），但考虑 到持续的高空头杠杆，近期可能还有更多下跌空间。 历史统计显示，动量策略在经历6%回调后，未来一个月的回报通常为轻微负数（-1%）。更值得注意的是，典型的动量指数（MSZZMOMO）峰值到谷底的 跌幅为23%，持续时间约30个交易日。 目前的回调已进入第5天，6%的跌幅与历史同期中位数水平一致，这表明如果回调继续，仍有进一步下跌空间。 | | | | | Duration | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Long Leg | Short Leg | Net Factor | SPX ...

Core Viewpoint - The traditional safe-haven status of the US dollar is facing significant challenges this year, with a notable weakening of its risk-hedging properties, prompting global investors to rethink their foreign exchange hedging strategies [1][2]. Group 1: Weakening Safe-Haven Status - The dollar has frequently depreciated during US stock market pullbacks this year, with the probability of simultaneous declines in stocks and the dollar rising from a historical average of 16% to 33% [2]. - The simultaneous decline of stocks, US Treasuries, and the dollar has become more frequent, indicating a decrease in the overall attractiveness of US assets [2]. Group 2: Factors Limiting Dollar Recovery - High policy uncertainty, including issues related to tariff policies and Federal Reserve independence, is a primary reason for the dollar's inability to quickly regain its traditional safe-haven status [3]. - The trend of capital diversification and a narrowing advantage in US returns further supports the rationale for portfolio diversification away from the dollar [3]. - Concerns over fiscal stability may resurface, potentially triggering a negative feedback loop of "widening spreads leading to dollar depreciation," exacerbating fears of capital outflows and Treasury sell-offs [3]. Group 3: Adjustments in Foreign Exchange Hedging Strategies - Goldman Sachs' quantitative analysis indicates a significant change in the effectiveness of foreign exchange hedging strategies, with foreign investors achieving higher average returns on hedged US stocks compared to unhedged strategies over the past six months [4]. - European investors have seen the most substantial benefits from hedging strategies, while Canadian investors have also experienced improved results [4]. - Despite the benefits, hedging costs remain a limiting factor for some investors, although a potential Fed rate cut may encourage adjustments from investors in regions with lower domestic rates, such as Japan [4]. Group 4: Potential for Continued Dollar Depreciation - While Goldman Sachs does not foresee a permanent shift in the dollar's safe-haven appeal, the current environment resembles a mild depreciation similar to 2017 rather than a historical crash [5]. - The increasing pathways leading to dollar weakness and the rising likelihood of atypical correlations suggest a risk of more significant and prolonged depreciation than currently anticipated [5]. - A potential cycle of "capital flight leading to dollar decline leading to further capital flight" could result in a more substantial and longer-lasting depreciation than expected [5].

Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs has raised its S&P 500 index valuation and return forecasts, reflecting optimism about economic growth and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts [3][4]. Group 1: S&P 500 Index Forecasts - The S&P 500 index return forecasts have been adjusted to +3% (6400 points) for 1 month, +6% (6600 points) for 3 months, and +11% (6900 points) for 12 months [3]. - The forward price-to-earnings ratio forecast for the S&P 500 index has been increased from 20.4x to 22x, supported by strong fundamentals of large stocks and investor sentiment [3]. - Previous index targets were 5900 points, 6100 points, and 6500 points, indicating a significant upward revision [3]. Group 2: Earnings Predictions and Risks - Earnings per share growth is maintained at +7% for both 2025 and 2026, but there are risks in both directions, with a reassessment planned after Q2 earnings reports [3]. - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs poses a significant risk to earnings forecasts, particularly affecting corporate profits [3]. Group 3: Market Breadth and Investment Recommendations - The median constituent stock is still over 10% below its 52-week high, leading to one of the narrowest market breadth readings in decades [4]. - Despite the narrow breadth indicating potential for a larger-than-average pullback, Goldman Sachs believes that "catch-up" is more likely than "catch-down," expecting market gains to expand in the coming months [4]. - Investment recommendations for the second half of 2025 include balanced sector allocation, overweighting software and services, materials, utilities, media and entertainment, and real estate [8].

Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs warns investors to be cautious of three "bear market" risks in the second half of the year, despite a rapid reallocation to risk assets in Q2, which has led to a return to a "golden girl" scenario pricing [1] Group 1: Key Risks - **Risk 1: Growth Shock** Economic growth may face significant downward pressure in the second half, particularly due to anticipated tariff impacts. The probability of a substantial market pullback is currently higher than that of a significant rise, driven by high valuations, weak leading indicators, and a slight deterioration in the business cycle score [2] - **Risk 2: Interest Rate Shock** Unexpected fluctuations in interest rates pose a second risk. If tariffs do not lead to a slowdown, inflation may rise again, exerting upward pressure on bond yields. The report suggests that long-term bond yields may decline moderately due to a more dovish Fed, but concerns over fiscal policy and rising yields in Europe and Japan could limit this downward space [3] - **Risk 3: Weak Dollar** A continued decline in the dollar may negatively impact multi-asset portfolios denominated in dollars. The report predicts further depreciation of the dollar over the next 12 months, reflecting concerns over fiscal policy and the independence of the Fed [4][5] Group 2: Investment Strategies - **Diversification Strategies** Investors are advised to reassess stock allocations, particularly in multi-asset portfolios dominated by U.S. assets. Diversification through low-volatility stocks, defensive quality stocks, and gold is recommended to mitigate potential losses from growth shocks [2] - **Short-Duration Bonds** To reduce duration risk, investors are encouraged to favor short-duration bonds. Financial stocks, such as bank stocks, may serve as effective hedges against interest rate shocks due to their ability to benefit from a steepening yield curve [3] - **Emerging Markets and Currency Hedging** In a weakening dollar environment, emerging market equities and local currency bonds are expected to perform better. Investors should consider currency hedging and allocating to emerging markets and gold to lower dollar risk [5]

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. stock market, particularly the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, has experienced a rapid recovery driven by strong performances from major tech companies amid an unprecedented AI boom, but faces significant risks that could disrupt this optimistic environment [1][2]. Group 1: Market Performance - The S&P 500 index closed at 6263 points, up 29% from its April low, nearing its historical peak of 6284 points [1]. - The MSCI global index also reached a historical high, influenced by the AI surge and easing geopolitical tensions, alongside expectations of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve [1]. Group 2: Economic Risks - Goldman Sachs identified three key risks threatening the "Goldilocks" market environment: economic stagnation or downturn, rising long-term bond yields, and a disordered decline of the dollar [2][6]. - The current market sentiment is characterized by high risk appetite, despite the S&P 500 reaching record highs, indicating a potential for negative asymmetry in the short term [3][5]. Group 3: Investment Strategies - To mitigate the identified risks, Goldman Sachs recommends diversifying into gold, select emerging markets, short-duration bonds, low-volatility defensive stocks, and financial stocks [2][7]. - The firm emphasizes the importance of hedging against potential declines in the dollar and inflationary pressures, as well as preparing for possible turbulence in the bond market due to rising yields [6][7].
