Tightening Policy Meets AI Capital Expenditure: Risks Remain Resilient

Key View: The policy paths of the Federal Reserve and global central banks are leaning hawkish, with multiple rate hikes expected before year-end. At the Jackson Hole symposium, Federal Reserve Chair Warsh delivered a hawkish signal, emphasizing that the 2% PCE inflation target remains unchanged and that further action will be required if underlying inflation does not improve. Despite aggressive market expectations, JPMorgan still anticipates a 25 basis point rate hike by the Fed in December, although the possibility of a hike in September also exists given the strength of the labor market. Additionally, the Bank of England, Sveriges Riksbank, Norges Bank, and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand are each expected to raise rates by 25 basis points before year-end; new forecasts suggest that the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan will act in September.

China Merchants Securities: Global risk assets underperformed in the three to six months leading up to the election; since entering October, both the probability of gains and average returns have generally improved.

Gelonghui, September 3 – China Merchants Securities released a research report stating that a review of U.S. midterm elections since 1970 shows global risk assets generally underperformed in the three to six months preceding the elections. Performance improved in terms of both win rates and average returns after entering October, with further strengthening observed in the three to six months following the election results. The pattern is most consistent for U.S. equities: the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices collectively showed weak performance in the three to six months before the midterms, with average returns of -3%, 0%, and -4% respectively over the six-month period. One month before the midterms, i.e., from October onward, all three indices significantly strengthened, with their probabilities of rising reaching 64%

On September 1, the bank’s Market Intel desk, which focuses on institutional clients, downgraded its rating on U.S. equities from “tactically bullish” to “tactically cautious/neutral.” The team led by Andrew Tyler wrote in the report: “While equity fundamentals remain strong, short-term variables could lead to sideways market volatility,” and “the current environment favors reducing net long positions and adopting a neutral strategy.” The timeframe they provided is only two to three weeks.

Citi: U.S. equity positioning improves for the third consecutive week

Citi strategists stated that the Nasdaq 100 Index, which is heavily weighted toward technology stocks, has continued to rise, supported by inflows of new risk capital, while U.S. equity allocation levels have improved for the third consecutive week. The research team led by David Zhou noted that overall positioning in the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 remains biased toward bullishness. "Short exposure in several major markets has declined, and the impact of short squeezes is waning." The team believes that vulnerabilities in positioning are concentrated in long portfolios that have already realized gains, such as the Russell 2000 and certain European markets. Despite adverse factors at the geopolitical and policy levels, European equities continue to attract new
