Over the past two weeks, global capital markets have moved from suspending interest rate hikes to the anticipated first round of interest rate cuts.

On Tuesday, US time, the 10-year US Treasury yield closed at 4.5790%, down 442 basis points within 17 days from an intraday high of 5.0210% on October 23. However, the rebound in the market segments of Hong Kong stocks, technology, pharmaceuticals, etc. that are sensitive to interest rates in overseas markets is particularly obvious. The increase is close to 10%, and capital inflows are obvious.

In response, many private equity managers in the industry believe that the probability of interest rate cuts in Europe and the US is steadily increasing. Once confirmed by subsequent data, the pressure to depreciate the RMB will be greatly reduced in the future, and global capital flows will begin again.

However, judging from the results of the three quarterly reports of listed companies that have been disclosed, the development of more and more industries has ushered in an upward inflection point. At this time, market rebound momentum is strong, and investors should pay attention to some “asymmetric” opportunities.

Is the first round of interest rate cuts coming? Expectations of interest rate cuts in European and American markets are heating up

Long-term US interest rates continued to decline, and 10-year US Treasury yields fell 8 basis points again on Tuesday. As the world's major central banks have suspended the interest rate hike cycle in recent weeks, the latest data shows that the economy is weakening, and the market is turning its attention to the first round of interest rate cuts.

On Tuesday, US time, the 10-year US Treasury yield closed at 4.5790%, down another 8 basis points, or 1.65%. The current closing price is 5.0210% higher than the intraday period on October 23, down 442 basis points within 17 days. Last week, on November 2, at the Fed's interest rate meeting, after 11 consecutive interest rate hikes in September, the target range of 5.25%-5.5% remained unchanged for the second time in a row. This week, the three major US indices recorded their biggest weekly gains in 2023. Currently, the market's bet on ending the Fed's interest rate hike remains at a high level of 90%. It is expected that the Fed will cut interest rates by 100 basis points next year.

Compared to the rapid decline in US bond market yields, the financial market's expectations for the ECB to cut interest rates are also very intense. The market bets that the ECB will become the first major central bank to relax monetary policy to provide a buffer to the economy. It is expected that the ECB will cut interest rates by 25 basis points by April about 80%.

ECB Governing Council member Stunaras said on the 8th that the ECB may begin cutting interest rates in the second half of 2024, but he added that this is a personal estimate, not a decision. Previously, Eurozone PPI recorded the biggest year-on-year decline in history in September, and for the fifth consecutive month of decline, the overall economic sentiment in Europe continued to cool down.

The RMB is starting to bottom out, and the belated cycle is about to come

What impact will rising expectations of interest rate cuts in the European and American markets have on domestic capital markets? Xia Junjie, investment director of Renqiao Asset, 10 billion private equity, believes that expectations of interest rate hikes in Europe and the US are rapidly cooling down, and the probability of interest rate cuts is steadily increasing. This change in direction is clearly reflected in the US dollar and US bond markets. Once confirmed by subsequent data, the pressure on future RMB depreciation will be greatly reduced, and global capital flows will begin again, and the delayed cycle will eventually arrive.

Xia Junjie believes that Sino-US relations have also clearly eased recently. Over this period, the interaction between China and the US has become more frequent, and China has adopted a more proactive and active attitude to improve relations between the two countries. Currently, China and the US are each in a completely different cycle. Shaking hands and making peace is beneficial to both sides, at least in the short term. We look forward to better news at the APEC meeting.

“Compared with a few months ago, almost all of the core variables affecting the market have recently undergone positive changes. We cannot turn a blind eye. Quantitative changes will eventually cause qualitative changes. We should face up to them and pay attention to them.” Xia Junjie emphasized.

Hong Hao, chief economist of Sirui Group, believes that the real effective exchange rate of the RMB has already hit a cyclical low, and the market is beginning to take into account the four interest rate cuts made by the Federal Reserve next year. Therefore, the historical weakness of the renminbi should begin to bottom out, and the gap between China and the US should also narrow. This recovery in interest spreads is expected to ease capital withdrawal and pressure on Chinese asset prices, and help the market to rebound and repair intermittently.

Wang Jiandong, director of the 10 billion private equity capital investment, believes that the two major opportunities needed by the market have arrived. One is that China has ushered in a larger fiscal stimulus, and the other is that the fall in US interest rates has given the market a phased investment opportunity. “The policy's intention to underpin the market is very clear. The market has fully reflected pessimistic expectations. As confidence gradually recovers and corporate profits continue to improve, we will usher in a new golden period for the stock market.”

Focus on “asymmetric” opportunities in the market

Last week, the three major US indices recorded their biggest weekly gains in 2023. At the same time, Hong Kong stocks have also continued to rebound since October 24. In particular, the rebound in the technology and pharmaceutical segments is particularly obvious. The rebound is nearly 10%, and capital inflows are obvious. On November 3, the fund share of the Hang Seng Technology Index ETF (513180), which is sensitive to changes in overseas interest rates, reached 45.392 billion shares, a record high, while the share of Hang Seng Internet ETF (513330), which focuses on the domestic Internet industry, continued to rise. On November 7, it reached 77.739 billion shares, continuing to reach a new all-time high.

“We expect the MSCI China Index to rise by almost 15%.” J.P. Morgan has turned bullish on the Chinese stock market, believing that the possibility of a technical rebound in the Chinese stock market before the end of the year is increasing. Investors' main concerns about China, such as geopolitics, short-term technical growth, and long-term structural growth, have shown marginal improvements, but they have not yet been digested by the market.

Liu Hong, founder and chief investment officer of Zhishun Investment, believes that the results of the listed companies' three-quarter reports have been disclosed. “We have seen that the development of more and more industries has ushered in an upward inflection point, and we have also seen more and more industrial capital increase holdings and repurchases. From now on, any decline in the A-share market will be a sincere invitation to all types of capital, and investors who take the opportunity to enter the market will likely reap rich rewards in the future.”

Tamsui Quan, a 10 billion private equity firm, also said in its latest monthly report that from the perspective of corporate fundamentals, the cumulative growth rate of non-net profit in the third quarter of all A (non-financial oil) was narrower than the decline in the second quarter. Return on net assets (ROE) and gross margin showed signs of solid improvement, and the period of high pressure on corporate performance growth is over.However, in the current market environment, many excellent enterprises have been affected by pessimistic market sentiment. Stock prices have been fully adjusted, and the room for decline is relatively limited, yet their ability to obtain cash flow in the medium to long term has not weakened; on the contrary, some are even stronger. This means that when sentiment is reversed, there is also a lot of potential room for stock prices to rise. In terms of one or two years, this is a typical “asymmetric” opportunity in the investment field.
