Group 1: Global Investment Trends - The global capital expenditure is expected to accelerate by 2026, with "consumables" growth significantly surpassing the initial phase of AI investments[1] - AI investment in 2025 is projected to reach $460 billion, accounting for approximately 1.5% of GDP, exceeding the peak of the internet bubble period[13] - The demand for commodities related to AI is anticipated to increase exponentially, with a low price sensitivity due to supply-side constraints[2] Group 2: Fiscal Policies and Defense Spending - Major economies like the US, Europe, and Japan are implementing expansionary fiscal policies, focusing on defense and supply chain security, which will increase "consumable" demand[2] - NATO countries' defense spending is expected to rise from 2.1% of GDP in 2024 to 3.5% by 2035, with annual increases of 0.13 percentage points required for EU countries[49] - Germany and France are projected to reach defense spending targets of 3-3.5% of GDP by 2030, necessitating annual increases of 0.2 percentage points[52] Group 3: Manufacturing and Economic Recovery - The global manufacturing sector is likely to experience an upturn, driven by AI-related investments and infrastructure demands, positively impacting exports, especially from Asia[59] - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs is expected to decrease, which may alleviate the drag on manufacturing investments[61] - The US corporate investment growth forecast for 2026 has been revised upward to 4.8%[62]

Core Viewpoint - After the 2008 financial crisis, despite a significant decline in interest rates, global capital expenditure remained relatively restrained, with rising corporate cash reserves and commodity prices lagging behind equity assets. The acceleration of China's real estate deleveraging cycle has further integrated and cleared global commodity supply. The outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 and the rise in precious metal prices, along with accelerated AI-related investments in 2024, are expected to push certain industrial products beyond the supply-demand balance threshold. The recent price increases in cyclical goods indicate a trend of diffusion. It is anticipated that global capital expenditure will accelerate by 2026, with "consumables" growth potentially surpassing the previous "startup phase" of AI investments. Additionally, investment demand in global defense, trade, and traditional manufacturing may resonate upward, significantly boosting the "consumables" volume. This marks the first global large-scale capital expenditure cycle post-2008, emphasizing the sustained value of resource and cyclical goods from a long-term perspective [1]. Group 1 - Compared to 2024-25, the absolute volume of AI investment consumables is expected to rise significantly. The current AI investment cycle is larger and denser than the internet-related investments of the late 1990s, with a projected exponential increase in demand for bulk commodities by 2026, particularly in data centers and power infrastructure [2][8]. - The global fiscal policy is expected to synchronize in 2026, with increased defense and public investment spending. This round of fiscal expansion focuses on defense autonomy and supply chain security, leading to a significant rise in "consumables" [3][35]. - The global manufacturing cycle is anticipated to improve in 2026, closely related to the trends in industrial products. Factors such as the implementation of capital expenditure deductions from the "Big and Beautiful" Act and potential stabilization in real estate investment are expected to support manufacturing recovery [4][43]. Group 2 - China's investment and commodity demand are entering the second half of "de-real estate" dynamics. The decline in real estate-related demand has provided a buffer for global demand, but this buffer is expected to diminish as the real estate "consumables" volume approaches its decline's end [5][64]. - The inflationary environment and the "consumable" capital expenditure cycle are structurally increasing the value of commodity allocations. The rising physical demand for industrial products is expected to support the prices of cyclical goods, even amid slowing demand growth [6][5].
