雖然美元正在貶值,但如果選對了股票,投資者依然可以幸運地賺上一筆。
高盛外匯分析師在上周五的一份報告中預測,貿易加權美元將在明年貶值約5.3%,較五月中旬下跌4%。
可以肯定的是,美元正在遭受沉重打擊。上個月,美元指數下跌4%,不少人認為,這場疫情可能會徹底推翻美元的主導地位。盡管美元拋售大潮已經拉開序幕,但高盛的分析師依然表示:“從目前大多數指標來看,美元仍然是被高估的,基本面也不佳。”
摩根士丹利的首席投資官麗莎?沙樂特在周一的一份報告中指出,唯有縮小財政赤字、出臺更有效的危機解決政策、穩住美元高增長高收益的特性,才能從根本上保證其本身的價值。如果沒有以上先決條件的支撐,所謂的“美元牛市”也只是垂死掙扎而已。
盡管美元疲軟可能會給諸如非必需消費品一類的國內重倉股帶來不利影響,但高盛策略師指出,對于一些重點關注國際銷售的關鍵行業而言,這可能是個福音,即“面向國際”的技術和能源(高盛指出,它們在全球的銷售額分別占57%和39%)。
除此以外,每當美元疲軟,外國投資者對美股的興趣便會加倍。高盛的分析師預計,外國投資者今年搶購的美股總額將會達到3000億美元,“一舉超越眾多企業,成為美股需求的最大來源?!?
事實上,高盛指出,“匯率的變化只能反映一個國家潛在的經濟狀況,并不是股市變化的直接驅動因素。”但從歷史來看,像科技股、能源股這類高增長、高質量的股票向來都會表現得更為強勁一點。換言之,“當美元走弱時,投資者會更青睞那些海外營收占比更大的公司?!备呤⒌姆治鰩煂懙馈?
那么,具體哪些股票是利好的呢?

另外,高盛還指出,那些在西歐及金磚國家(巴西、俄羅斯、印度、中國)銷量較高的股票在美元下跌時也表現良好。這類公司頭部包括在線支付服務商PayPal、管理咨詢公司埃森哲、石油天然氣生產商??松梨?、流媒體播放平臺Netflix等。(財富中文網)

The U.S. dollar is slumping, but investors could still make some greenbacks off of a few key stocks.
FX strategists at Goldman Sachs predict the trade-weighted USD will weaken some 5.3% in the coming year, off of a roughly 4% slump from mid-May, strategists at the firm wrote in a note last Friday.
To be sure, the dollar has taken a beating recently (the U.S. Dollar Index is down about 4% in the last month)—And there are those that are predicting the coronavirus crisis could topple its supremacy altogether. But despite the selloff, strategists at Goldman believe "the greenback remains overvalued by most metrics and offers poor fundamentals."
Indeed, Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer Lisa Shalett wrote in a Monday note that "we finally see the dollar bull dying, too, as the forces that created dollar scarcity—superior relative growth and yields, a shrinking current account deficit and more effective post-crisis policies—fade."
For investors, that means it might be time to consider repositioning. While a weaker dollar likely bodes ill for domestic-heavy stocks like consumer discretionary, strategists at Goldman point out it could be a boon for a few key sectors with a heavy focus in international sales: Namely, "international-facing" tech and energy (which have 57% and 39% of sales internationally, Goldman points out).
And the big news? Goldman notes since times of weakness for the USD typically make U.S. stocks more appealing for foreign investors, strategists at the firm expect foreign investors to snap up $300 billion of U.S. equities this year "and replace corporations as the largest source of US equity demand," strategists wrote.
While the firm notes that "exchange rates are often a reflection of underlying economic conditions rather than a direct driver of stock returns," stocks in info tech and energy (and those that are higher growth and quality) have historically been the stronger performers. Or, in other words, "When the USD weakens, investors should favor firms with a larger share of revenues generated abroad," the strategists wrote.
Some stocks that should benefit?
Those with a high concentration in international sales like tech giants Nvidia, Applied Materials, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Facebook, Alphabet, and Intel; and some energy names including Baker Hughes and TechnipFMC.
Additionally, the firm points out that stocks with higher sales in Western Europe and BRICs countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) have also performed well while the U.S. dollar was down. A few top names in those baskets include PayPal, Accenture, Exxon Mobile and Netflix.
