文 | 魏鑫 来源 | CFC商品策略研究 编辑 | 杨兰 审核 | 浦电路交易员 近期在美国关税政策的影响下,商品整体呈现偏弱态势,短期市场受困于捉摸不定的 美国政策,以及不明朗的经济前景。2025与1984年前后,美国经济与政策的存在共 性,我们复盘20世纪80年代的大宗商品走势,寻找未来商品行情演绎的方向。 当前美国与1984年的美国,在 经济环境、政府压力、汇率、政策 方面存在四大共 性,商品长期走势存在趋同的可能。当然, 历史并不会简单重复,在阶段性的行情表 现中,或存在走势的分化 。 01 商品价格周期性:1977、1984与2025 工业金属具有较高的价格弹性,且对经济、政策的变化极为敏感。为方便复盘,我们选 取CRB现货指数作为商品价格的代表,选取道琼斯工业指数作为美股的代表,并采用月 度均值,忽略较为短期的波动。可以发现在70年代,CRB金属的走势与2018年至今十分 相似,先从低位大幅上行,在高位明显回落之后,到达比上涨前更高的价格中枢并趋势 上行;从美股的表现来看,两个阶段的趋势性变化也有相似之处。 我们也可以找到80年代初与近五年市场走势的相似性。如果单纯地刻舟求剑,会认为近 年的价格 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article draws parallels between the current economic and policy environment in the U.S. and that of 1984, suggesting that commodity prices may follow a similar trajectory due to shared characteristics in economic conditions, government pressures, exchange rates, and policy measures [1][5][20]. Group 1: Commodity Price Cycles - Industrial metals exhibit high price elasticity and are sensitive to economic and policy changes, with the CRB spot index serving as a representative for commodity prices [2]. - The price movements of CRB metals from the 1970s show similarities to recent trends, indicating a potential long-term upward price center, although current conditions are more comparable to 1984 [2][3]. - Historical data indicates that price increases typically last 20-30 months, while declines are more rapid, lasting 12-18 months [3]. Group 2: Economic and Policy Similarities - Current economic conditions mirror those of the early 1980s, characterized by recession, fiscal expansion, and high inflation, leading to a cycle of declining interest rates and inflation [5][11]. - The U.S. faces similar pressures as in the 1980s, including high trade deficits and increasing fiscal deficits [6][12]. - The exchange rate environment is akin to that of the early 1980s, with a strong dollar exacerbating trade deficits, prompting government efforts to weaken the dollar [6][16]. - Policy measures from the current administration reflect those of the Reagan era, including tax cuts, promoting oil production, and reducing government spending to address fiscal deficits [20]. Group 3: Future Commodity Outlook - Based on historical trends from 1984 to 1986, a downward trend in commodity prices is anticipated, influenced by the Plaza Accord and the resulting currency dynamics [21][23]. - The initial pricing of commodities may reflect a contraction in global trade, with future expectations potentially correcting if certain countries are less affected by tariffs [23]. - The unclear economic outlook in the U.S. will depend on the duration of government policies, with potential short-term price spikes driven by policy stimuli, but long-term price levels will be determined by demand fundamentals [23].
