进入2026年，全球宏观市场正在经历一场深刻的范式转变。资深分析师David Woo认为，面对中期选举 的巨大压力，特朗普政府正展现出不惜一切代价扭转局面的决心，这将重塑从能源到黄金的全球资产定 价逻辑。 David Woo表示，为弥补严重的民调劣势并避免在国会失去多数席位，特朗普政府的政策重心已全面转 向赢得"可负担性"辩论。这意味着2026年的终极交易主题将从单纯的再通胀转向激进的通缩手段——尤 其是通过强力掌控能源资源来大幅压低油价，目标是在大选前将汽油价格降至关键心理防线。这一战略 不仅意在平抑通胀，更意在通过改善中产阶级生活成本来稳固选票。 而特朗普此前对委内瑞拉的动作标志着战后建立的基于规则的国际秩序实质性终结。这一举措并非出于 意识形态考量，而是为了直接掌控能源资源，以期通过大幅增加供应来赢得国内的"可负担性论证"。特 朗普的目标是在秋季前将汽油价格压低至每加仑2.25美元，这将对原油市场造成剧烈冲击，预计油价将 下探至40至50美元区间。 Woo警告，随着美国放弃作为国际体系的传统担保人角色，全球地缘不安全感将急剧上升，这为黄金提 供了强劲支撑，并利好国防工业。相反，新兴市场股票将面临估值重估 ...

Core Viewpoint - The USD/CAD exchange rate is expected to maintain a strong oscillating trend until January 9, 2026, influenced by the divergence in monetary policies between the US and Canada, changes in oil supply expectations, and differences in economic growth rates [1][2]. Monetary Policy Divergence - The divergence in monetary policy is the primary driver of the exchange rate. In 2025, the Federal Reserve cut rates by a total of 75 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 3.5%-3.75% by year-end, with expectations of two more cuts in 2026. In contrast, the Bank of Canada was more aggressive, cutting rates by 100 basis points over four occasions, ending the year at 2.25%, with no further cuts expected before March 2026 [1][2]. Economic Growth Disparities - Economic growth differences and oil supply expectations exacerbate exchange rate volatility, creating a "policy support" versus "commodity suppression" dynamic. The OECD forecasts US GDP growth at 1.6% for 2025 and 1.5% for 2026, while Canada is projected to grow by 1% in 2025 and slightly increase to 1.1% in 2026. Both countries face slowing growth pressures, but Canada is more vulnerable due to its high dependency on US exports [2]. Oil Supply Sensitivity - The Canadian dollar, as a commodity currency, is highly sensitive to oil supply and demand dynamics. Recent signals from the US regarding the potential re-importation of Venezuelan oil have raised concerns about increased competition for Canadian oil demand, significantly suppressing the performance of the Canadian dollar [2]. Geopolitical and Global Risk Factors - Geopolitical issues and global risk sentiment are currently influencing exchange rate movements. Concerns over the return of Venezuelan oil have led to a risk-averse stance towards the Canadian dollar, providing temporary upward momentum for the USD/CAD exchange rate. However, the potential for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve limits the upside for the dollar [2]. Outlook for 2026 - The USD/CAD exchange rate is likely to remain in a high oscillating trend, with three core variables influencing this outlook: uncertainty in the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting pace, changes in oil supply dynamics, and differences in the monetary policy paths of the US and Canada. Additionally, potential changes in the Federal Reserve chairmanship and reviews of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement could trigger short-term volatility [3].

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Not provided in the content Core Views of the Report - The oil price is mainly in a downward trend with a loose supply - demand situation. Precious metals are affected by funds and geopolitical situations, and investors can consider participating in breakthroughs or waiting for re - entry opportunities. Various non - ferrous metals, energy, chemical, agricultural products, and financial products have different trends based on their own supply - demand fundamentals, policies, and market emotions [2][3] Summary by Related Categories Energy - **Crude Oil**: The current market is in a pattern of supply surplus and inventory accumulation. In 2026Q1, there is significant inventory accumulation pressure. The US - Venezuela situation may lead to an increase in Venezuelan oil production and exports if sanctions are relaxed. The oil price is in a downward trend [2] - **Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The market is focused on geopolitical factors. Venezuelan supply fluctuations are a short - term issue, and the expected supply recovery may increase the surplus concern. Venezuelan heavy - product supply disruptions may support high - sulfur fuel oil, while low - sulfur fuel oil faces supply pressure [22] - **Asphalt**: The northern spot price has stabilized, and the southern market shows signs of recovery. The cost may rise if the US maintains the blockade on Venezuela, but there is resistance if the raw - material risk is false [23] - **Urea**: The urea market is in a tight supply - demand situation in the short term. The production enterprises are reducing inventory. Although the daily output is expected to increase, the spring agricultural demand will limit the downward space [24] - **Methanol**: There are rumors of MTO device overhauls in East China, causing the methanol price to fall.
