Zhitong Finance APP learned that Tianfeng Securities released a research report saying that the expectation of US interest rate cuts has increased, and attention should be paid to whether the US and Chinese policies can resonate. We continue to be optimistic about high dividend directions such as "patient assets", and new quality productivity may have performance opportunities. We are optimistic about the continued interpretation of the subsequent high dividend style, and a new round of diffusion within the dividend sector. The new "Nine Articles of the State" mentioned "market value management" and "improving the return on investment in the secondary market". Under the resonance of policy logic and market logic, high dividend assets with monopoly and scarcity are expected to be revalued.

Market thinking: Expectations of US interest rate cuts increase, and attention is paid to whether US and Chinese policies can resonate

1) The June US price data was released, and US inflation cooled down across the board. From the performance of sub-items, the CPI energy sub-item continued to record negative values ​​month-on-month, core service inflation continued to decline, and the rent sub-item fell for the first time since February. Powell's speech had previously raised expectations for interest rate cuts. After the release of the inflation data that fell across the board, expectations for interest rate cuts in September rose again. After the release of the inflation data, market interest rate cut transactions fermented, US bond interest rates and the US dollar index weakened, US stocks diverged, and small-cap stocks made up for the gains. 2) In the future, the Fed's interest rate cut transactions may improve global liquidity, which is beneficial to the performance of the A-share denominator, and the domestic policy easing space has opened up, boosting market risk appetite, but attention should also be paid to the timing of the interest rate cut. In addition, the interpretation of interest rate cut transactions still needs to focus on the June PCE inflation data, the Q2 US GDP preliminary data, the August FOMC interest rate meeting, and the US election. The interest rate cut is not yet determined, and there may still be disturbances in the future. In addition, the policies of the subsequent Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the July Political Bureau meeting may become the main line again. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the interpretation of US and Chinese policies resonates.
