CICC: Will overseas liquidity face problems?

The rebound to this level is supported by the following factors: 1) High leverage and crowded positions have largely stabilized and been cleared out; 2) Our proprietary AI bubble stress index has improved; 3) Against this backdrop, liquidity has become the focal point likely to drive market dynamics.

Bank of America: Do not bet solely on AI; recommends going long both “Pride” and “Prejudice,” while positioning in gold and Hong Kong real estate.

Bank of America posits that the optimal strategy amid the AI bubble is to simultaneously go long on "arrogance" (AI technology stocks) and "prejudice" (neglected, underperforming assets shunned by the market), while shorting AI-related bonds. Although Bank of America’s Bull & Bear Indicator is in extreme territory, capital is flowing into gold and commodities, with private client equity allocations hitting record highs.

Deutsche Bank: Central bank gold purchases and ETF inflows drive gold into an "explosive" rally phase

Deutsche Bank believes that the fifth "explosive" rally phase for gold, which began in 2024, is still ongoing. Central bank demand for gold has reached a record high in real USD terms, with approximately half of this demand not reported to the IMF. Global ETF inflows have turned positive again, with Asian buying being particularly prominent. The bank has set its year-end target range for gold at $4,700–$5,100 per ounce, citing the continued expansion of U.S. government debt as the core driver. Current futures positioning remains low, suggesting that the upside potential has not yet been fully priced in.
