@Jing Chen : 我对近期关税公告的反应是复杂且多面的。一方面,关税规模和影响范围的扩大在意料之中,因为这延续了之前的趋势。但另一方面,其规模和广泛性超出了市场预期,尤其对亚洲经济体造成了显著冲击。亚洲许多贸易导向型经济体,例如台湾、韩国、泰国和马来西亚,都高度依赖对美国的出口,因此特别容易受到关税的影响。我们预计,这些关税将导致亚洲经济增长放缓,中国GDP增长可能损失约200个基点。此外,美国经济的潜在调整将进一步加剧亚洲经济的放缓。考虑到这些因素,我们预计受影响的经济体将采取多种应对措施,包括中国可能侧重于刺激国内消费和科技创新,而其他国家则可能通过降息等货币政策来应对。 从投资角度来看,我们对亚洲股票市场采取选择性策略。尽管存在关税相关的不确定性,我们仍然看好台湾和印度市场。台湾在人工智能领域的结构性增长前景依然具有吸引力,尽管我们已将其评级从"最具吸引力"下调至"具有吸引力"。印度市场也值得关注,因为其国内导向型经济使其能够更好地应对关税不确定性,我们看好其金融和消费领域。在固定收益方面,我们建议投资者持有亚洲资产和信贷敞口,并继续对美元投资进行对冲。 @Dan Cassidy : 作为主持人,我没有表达具体的观点,而是引导Jing Chen阐述了瑞银首席投资办公室(CIO)对关税对亚洲经济影响的看法,以及相应的投资建议。讨论涵盖了关税对亚洲经济增长的负面影响,特别是对出口导向型经济体的影响,以及各国政府可能采取的应对措施,例如刺激国内消费、科技创新和货币政策调整。最后,Jing Chen还提供了CIO在亚洲股票和固定收益市场上的投资建议,包括对台湾、印度等市场的偏好,以及对冲美元风险的建议。
