Core Viewpoint - The current investment landscape is characterized by a new economic cycle, with significant shifts in macroeconomic analysis, particularly the need to focus on country-specific dynamics rather than solely on the US economy [2][25]. Group 1: Major Challenges in Asset Allocation - The first challenge is the misalignment of global economic cycles, where non-US developed countries' monetary policies diverge significantly from the US, influenced by de-globalization and supply chain restructuring [23][24]. - The second challenge is the decline in long-duration risk returns, driven by prolonged monetary easing in the US and increased demand for long-term bonds in China due to economic transformation and aging demographics [26][27]. - The third challenge is the simultaneous volatility of stocks and bonds in overseas markets, necessitating a greater allocation to counter-cyclical assets like gold for risk hedging [29]. Group 2: Insights on Major Asset Classes - For US dollar assets, there is potential for short-term rebounds due to economic soft landing expectations, but long-term attractiveness may diminish due to debt monetization and rising credit risks [30]. - Chinese yuan assets are expected to appreciate in the short term due to improved economic momentum and foreign capital inflows, with long-term growth potential linked to the rising importance of physical assets [30]. - The outlook for bonds remains uncertain, with US Treasury yields expected to steepen while the long-term trajectory for Chinese bonds is influenced by demographic pressures and economic structural changes [30]. Group 3: Investment Strategies and Trends - The investment strategy for cyclical stocks involves a speculative approach based on commodity price movements, which carries high risks due to the assumption of uniformity among companies within the sector [21]. - A more strategic approach involves selecting stocks with high price and income elasticity based on demand expansion trends, particularly in sectors like new energy and lightweight materials [21]. - Value-based strategies focus on identifying buying opportunities in cyclical stocks by analyzing asset elasticity, valuation levels, and demand signals [22].
