在高盛發布這番觀點之前,從科技股到新興國家貨幣,在美聯儲上周宣布將在某個時間點放緩加息步伐之后,均出現反彈。政策變得更加靈活,放大了投資者對風險敏感性資產的需求,人們篤定隨著美國回歸低利率制度,將支持這類資產的表現。
樂觀的投資者認為,美國消費者信心不及預期,并且第二季度GDP萎縮,因此美聯儲可能更快放松貨幣政策。國債收益率同樣下跌,而且彭博社的美元指數也降至一個月最低。
但高盛的觀點與彭博經濟(Bloomberg Economics)和基金管理公司Nuveen的觀點一致。他們認為,隨著交易商押注美聯儲將在2023年開始降息,市場目前可能比今年任何時候更容易受到誤導。支持他們觀點的數據包括歐元區的通脹和核心物價指標。前者在7月再創歷史新高,后者增幅則遠高于美國的預期。
高盛策略師寫道:“我們認為,如果通脹依舊無法回落,鷹派可能采取意料之外的措施,而且如果經濟活動減速導致持續時間更長/更深層的經濟下行,將導致經濟增長出現意外,這些因素很容易對市場產生影響?!眻蟾娣Q,為了保護股票投資,他們更傾向于賣出買權,而不是買入賣權。(財富中文網)

Investors may be getting overconfident in betting the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates sooner to bolster a flagging U.S. economy, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists.
“Looking at the re-pricing of cyclical assets in the U.S. and EU, we think the market might have been too complacent too soon in fading recession risks on expectations of a more accommodative monetary policy stance,” strategists including Cecilia Mariotti wrote in an Aug. 1 note.
Goldman’s view comes after everything from technology stocks to emerging-market currencies rallied after the Federal Reserve said last week it would slow the pace of rate hikes at one point. The shift to more flexibility on policy amplified demand for risk-sensitive assets on wagers they may be supported by the comeback of a lower-rates regime.
Bullish investors point to weaker-than-expected U.S. consumer confidence and contraction in second-quarter GDP as reasons the Fed could ease monetary policy sooner rather than later. Treasury yields have also tumbled, and a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar has dropped to a one-month low.
But Goldman’s view chimes with those of Bloomberg Economics and fund manager Nuveen. They reckon markets may be more misguided now than any other time this year as traders pile on wagers the Fed would start cutting rates in 2023. Data backing their view includes Eurozone inflation, which soared to another all-time high in July, and core measures of prices that rose by more than forecast in the U.S.
“We think markets will be vulnerable to hawkish surprises if inflation continues to struggle to re-set and growth surprises—if the slowdown in activity results in a more prolonged/deeper downturn,” the strategists wrote. They continue to favor selling calls to buy puts in a bid to protect equity exposure, according to the note.
