再通账再度上演:将美国2021年经济增长预测从5%上调至6%
佐治亚州参议院席位竞选后,民主党现已控制美国国会。
我们认为拜登很可能在2021年第一季通过调和程序(reconciliation process)成功通过巨额救济援助计划,价值高达约1万亿美元或更多,并在第一个任期的后期在基础设施、可再生能源、环境和健康护理等方面顺利推行重大支出举措。
拜登的增税计划可能抵销部分支出,这可能会导致市场出现一些紧张情绪。
但整体而言,「蓝色浪潮」将加速美国经济复苏,并利好风险资产;利跌美元;亦将对美国国债孳息率带来上行压力。
佐治亚州竞选过后,我们的宏观经济团队将美国2021年的国内生产总值预测水平从5.0%上调至6.0%,并将我们对10年期美国国债孳息率的一年期预测水平从1.20%上调至1.50%。
历史经验表明,当通胀率从低位上升时,美股回报率最为强劲
由于未来美国政府有望推行更加进取的财政刺激政策,且经济增长有望更加强劲,自1月5日佐治亚州竞选以来,美国通胀预期普遍上升,10年期美债平衡通膨率从2.00%上升7个基点至2.07%。
将今日的通胀水平与2009年和2001年最近两次危机后的水平进行对比,我们发现通胀预期已经上升至目前企业扩张初期相对正常的水平。
对标普500指数历史表现的研究表明,当通胀水平处于平均水平以下并不断上升时,其12个月的远期回报率最高。
目前经济复苏加上通胀从低位上升,正是利好市场的时机。重要的是,在目前的商业周期阶段,联储局有足够的余地继续推行货币宽松政策。
因此,通胀飙升是2021年需要关注的一个关键风险,这将促使联储局立场转为鹰派,缩减量化宽松规模。但我们的基准情境并不这么认为,考虑到在商业周期内联储局的新策略目标为2%的平均通胀率,因此预计联储局将等到2022年方才开始缩减量化宽松规模。
实际孳息率为负值,仍继续支持股市
通胀升上加上市场预期经济将会增长,亦推动美国国债孳息率上升,导致孳息率曲线变陡。
一般来说,由于经济增长前景更加稳健,国债孳息率曲线长端从低位上升,实则利好股市。
尤其是实际孳息率如今仍稳居负值的情况下,重大利好风险资产。
在上一个全球金融危机后的商业周期中,当2018年第一季的10年期美债实际孳息率升至0.50%以上时,实际孳息率上升才开始不利于风险资产。目前10年期美债实际孳息率在-0.96%,远低于上述水平。
对美股态度升至增持;我们预计2021年标普500指数每股收益增长30%
美股的另一个重大利好因素是盈利前景。
我们的基准情境认为,2021年标普500指数的每股收益将按年增长30%,增长率良好。
虽然标普500指数的市盈率水平并不便宜,但鉴于实际孳息率处于超低水平,因此如今的市盈率水平仍较为合理。
对股票现金流进行估值时,与长期政府债券及现金等竞争性资产进行对比。
鉴于实际孳息率非常低,而且在经济复苏期间股票风险溢价收缩,因此股票的市盈率升高符合目前的情况。
与投资者配置相关的因素亦提供支持:疫情造成经济衰退前后的美国货币市场基金持有量(包括零售投资者和机构投资者)的累计变化显示,由于疫情而流入现金的资产,至今仅有一半反向流动。这意味未来仍有已募集、待投资的金额(dry powder)可部署至风险资产。
在2008年全球金融危机和2001年科技危机期间,由经济衰退而流入美国货币市场基金的资金,随着时间的推移亦全面流出,这于过去两个周期中,随着投资者将现金重新部署至风险资产,有助于推动经济衰退后的牛市。
鉴于上述多重因素,我们在战术资产配置中,对美股的态度升至增持,并由现金提供资金。
除了对美股的态度升至增持外,我们对亚洲(日本除外)股票和新兴市场高收益债券继续持增持态度。
预计再通胀将惠及周期性行业,例如金融、工业、能源、原材料和房地产等
金融、工业、能源、原材料和房地产等周期性行业的盈利更加易受经济增长影响,因此未来有望大幅受益于再通胀形势。
考虑到这些周期性行业的估值仍相对具吸引力,且自2020年3月以来,周期股的表现明显落后于科技股等成长股,因此我们预计随着再通胀的势头加大,周期股未来的表现将优于大市。
市场「承险」的趋势并不意味着短期内没有市场波动风险
虽然随着再通账势头加大,风险资产的长期前景有所改善,但考虑到2020年3月以来市场急剧V型反弹,且一些技术指标表明从技术面看,市场短期内处于超买状态,因此我们不能排除短期内不存在市场波动风险。
自20世纪20年代以来,股市平均每1.5年调整10%。市场的短期波动无法确切预测,对于长线投资者而言,试图在短期内捕捉市场机会往往适得其反。
最后,全球疫苗能否有效普及,是决定再通胀投资主题的主要决定因素,亦是2021年上半年市场的主要推动因素。
上个月发现了新冠状病毒(Covid-19)的新毒株,包括英国首先报告的B.1.1.7毒株。
虽然目前尚未得知这些新毒株对疫苗普及效率的影响程度如何,但大多数科学家相信,现有疫苗对新毒株有效,或未来的疫苗经过修改后将对这些新病毒株有效。
目前疫苗普及正在进行中,且外界普遍预计这将帮助主要经济体在2021年下半年达到最低群体免疫水平,不过迄今为止仅以色列、阿联酋和巴林的人口接种率超过5%。投资者需要密切关注疫苗普及的进展。
