今年早些時候,唐納德·特朗普推出激進關稅政策,震驚全球市場,投資者紛紛撤離美國市場、轉向其他地區,然而如今局勢再度出現逆轉。美國股市強勢反彈,屢創新高,正逐步削弱歐洲股市在今年大部分時間里保持的領先優勢。
標普500指數年內漲幅達13%,納斯達克指數上漲17%。就在六月末,當該廣泛市場指數重返歷史高點時,二者的漲幅還均為5%。
與此同時,德國DAX股指今年迄今上漲19%,低于六月的20%。其他指數雖有所上揚,但漲幅均不及美股。英國富時100指數漲幅達13%,高于6月的8%;MSCI歐洲指數年內漲幅從21%躍升至25%。
(中國市場情況則有所不同:香港恒生指數今年以來漲幅已達32%,較6月時21%的年內漲幅進一步擴大。)
市場對歐洲的看法已然發生劇烈轉變。投資者對英國和法國的財政赤字前景愈發擔憂,而兩國經濟增長依舊疲軟。此前寄予厚望的政府支出激增和放松管制政策至今仍未能實現。
德意志銀行(Deutsche Bank)分析師在上周三的報告中表示:“除德國外,投資者對其他歐洲國家的進展停滯感到失望——目前并無跡象表明德國政府會啟動大規模支出。這引發了市場的擔憂情緒:德國政府在落實承諾的國防與基礎設施大額支出計劃上,不僅行動遲緩,甚至可能在動搖此前的承諾。”
盡管分析師們仍認為歐洲市場終會迎來一波“短期刺激行情”,但對其長期增長前景的樂觀態度有所減弱。
相比之下,美股正受到多重利好的強力推動:市場對人工智能革命的樂觀預期持續升溫、特朗普貿易戰趨于緩和、企業盈利表現強勁、國內生產總值持續增長、消費者韌性、稅收減免政策,以及美聯儲重啟寬松周期。
美聯儲的舉措還將進一步提振美股,有望進一步縮小與歐洲股市之間的差距。
上周三,美聯儲實施了自去年12月以來的首次降息,但華爾街多數人士認為,主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾(Jerome Powell)在新聞發布會上傳遞出了“鷹派信號”。
鮑威爾特別將此次降息稱為“風險管理式降息”,暗示這并非激進寬松周期的開端。他還警告稱不存在零風險選項,未來走向尚不明朗。
然而,花旗集團研究部(Citi Research)經濟學家并不認同“鮑威爾釋放鷹派信號”的市場解讀,反而從中捕捉到更偏向鴿派的信息。
花旗在上周三的報告中指出:“鮑威爾隨后澄清,此次降息的效力并非源于單次25個基點降息舉措本身,而是源于市場已將后續更多降息納入考量——這意味著,在美聯儲官員的基準預期中,他們將依照市場與點陣圖的走勢,今年累計降息75個基點。”
與此同時,摩根大通(JPMorgan)股票策略師上周四指出,若不出現經濟衰退的情況,在寬松周期的第二年,標普500指數平均漲幅可達26.5%,遠超第一年13.7%的平均漲幅。
摩根大通補充道,美聯儲自去年9月啟動降息周期以來,市場表現已超越寬松周期第一年的典型漲幅水平,累計上漲17.6%。
策略師們表示:“從歷史數據來看,降息能夠通過提振消費者支出、投資支出(資本支出與研發投入)、并購活動與股票回購,為企業盈利提供切實有力的支撐。”(財富中文網)

After President Donald Trump shocked global markets with his aggressive tariffs earlier this year, investors turned away from the U.S. and went elsewhere—but the scales are tilting back again. U.S. stocks have made furious rebounds, setting fresh record highs and eroding the outperformance that European markets have enjoyed for much of this year.
The S&P 500 is now up 13% year to date and the Nasdaq is up 17%. As recently as late June, when the broad market index had retaken its prior all-time high, both were up 5%.
Meanwhile, the DAX stock market index in Germany is up 19% so far this year, down from 20% in June. Other gauges have gained ground, but not as much as U.S. stocks have. The FTSE 100 in the U.K. is up 13% versus 8% in June. And the MSCI Europe stock index has jumped 25% for the year, up from 21%.
(China is a different story. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index has soared 32% this year, up from its 21% year-to-date gain in June.)
Sentiment has shifted dramatically about Europe. Investors are getting more nervous about the deficit outlook in the U.K. and France, while economic growth remains subdued. And hopes for a burst of government spending and deregulation have failed to materialize so far.
“Outside Germany, investors appear frustrated with the lack of progress: there are no signs of the German government turning on the spending machine,” analysts at Deutsche Bank said in a note on Wednesday. “This has fuelled concerns that the government is dragging its feet, and perhaps wavering in its commitment, on implementing the promised defence and infrastructure spending spree.”
While they still see a “sugar rush” coming eventually, they are less upbeat about the long-term growth implications.
By contrast, U.S. markets have been turbocharged by continued bullishness on the AI revolution, moderation in Trump’s trade war, robust corporate earnings, continued GDP growth, resilience among consumers, tax cuts, and the Federal Reserve’s return to easing.
U.S. stocks stand to get a further lift from the central bank, and potentially close the gap even more with Europe.
On Wednesday, the Fed lowered rates for the first time since December, though many on Wall Street read a hawkish message in Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference.
In particular, he described the move as a “risk-management cut,” suggesting it wasn’t the start of an aggressive easing cycle. He also warned that there are no risk-free options and that it’s not obvious what will happen going forward.
But economists at Citi Research disagreed with the market’s interpretation that Powell was hawkish and instead read a more dovish message.
“Powell later clarified that the effectiveness of today’s cut was coming not from the effects of one 25bp rate cut, but from the market pricing-in further cuts — suggesting that in their base case Fed officials will follow markets and the dot plot and cut 75bp this year,” Citi said in a note on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, equity strategists at JPMorgan pointed out on Thursday that the S&P 500 has gained an average of 26.5% in the second year of an easing cycle, assuming no recession, compared to a 13.7% gain in the first year.
The Fed started its rate cuts last September, and the market has already outperformed its typical first-year gain by climbing 17.6% in that time, JPMorgan added.
“Rate cuts have historically provided meaningful support for earnings with a lift in consumer spending, investment spending (capex and R&D), M&A and buybacks,” strategists said.
