这个“市场周报”视频讨论了近期的市场波动,重点关注美联储在12月降息的可能性,以及对一直以来推动股市上涨的人工智能叙事的担忧。
演讲者提到,过去一周美国政府的关门结束了,但同时也遗憾地损失了一些关键的经济数据,例如10月的职位空缺和劳工流动调查(JOLTS)和消费者物价指数(CPI)。尽管本周开局良好,但股市经历了波动,尤其是在周四,然后在周五从标准普尔500指数的50日移动平均线反弹。
市场的紧张情绪源于两个关键因素:一是市场认为美联储12月降息的可能性降低,二是人们开始怀疑人工智能驱动的涨势是否可持续。
最初,在9月联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)会议之后,市场根据“点阵图”预测几乎肯定会在12月降息,该“点阵图”表明大多数美联储官员预计会降息。然而,在随后的10月会议上,美联储主席鲍威尔明确表示,12月降息“并非理所当然”,表明委员会内部缺乏共识。此后,许多美联储发言人表达了鹰派立场,理由是对持续通胀和看似强劲的劳动力市场的担忧。
演讲者详细阐述了美联储面临的挑战。通胀率仍然顽固地维持在2.7%左右,而失业率正在逐渐上升,这发出了相互矛盾的信号。关税对通胀的影响以及当前货币政策的限制性也存在不确定性。美联储成员之间不同的风险承受能力进一步使情况复杂化,导致市场重新评估12月降息的可能性。
历史上,市场狂热阶段通常与央行加息相关联。而现在,情况非常反常,因为美联储正在讨论在这个时期降息。
尽管存在鹰派言论,但演讲者认为12月降息仍然是可能的。自从9月份以来,缺乏重要的新经济数据,再加上政府关门造成的经济阻力,应该会加强鸽派立场。重要的是,美联储委员会中的鸽派声音仍然占据主导地位,而弱于预期的数据将加强降息的理由。研究表明,关税具有抑制通胀和增加失业的作用,这进一步与维持鹰派立场的论点相矛盾。
第二个主要担忧与人工智能叙事的裂痕有关。演讲者指出了两个具体问题:某些人工智能相关公司的信用违约互换(CDS)利差扩大,以及对折旧会计方法的审查。涉及构建人工智能基础设施的公司(如甲骨文和CoreWeave)的信用违约互换利差增加,表明债券投资者越来越担心他们偿还债务的能力。甲骨文的收益后上涨,是由于承诺进行大规模人工智能建设而推动的,但债券投资者对此持怀疑态度,他们更重视偿还和现金流的产生。
预测了2008年金融危机的Michael Burry对科技公司用于其GPU(图形处理单元)资产的折旧时间表提出了担忧。Burry认为,目前GPU使用的五年折旧寿命太长,导致费用被低估,利润被人为夸大。更短的折旧寿命将增加每年的折旧费用,从而降低报告的收益。
虽然存在这些裂痕,但演讲者强调,绝大多数人工智能支出是由Meta、谷歌和亚马逊等超大规模公司提供的资金,这些公司产生了大量的现金流。尽管这些公司也通过减少劳动力规模来节省资金和购买人工智能数据中心来降低成本。
展望未来,演讲者预计这将是重要的一周,届时将发布延迟发布的9月份非农就业(NFP)数据和英伟达的财报。如果英伟达取得积极成果,重申人工智能叙事,再加上弱于预期的经济数据支持12月降息,可能会引发季节性反弹,并进一步推高标准普尔500指数。
This "Markets Weekly" video discusses recent market movements, focusing on the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December and emerging concerns about the AI narrative that has been a significant driver of equity market gains.
The speaker notes that the past week saw the end of the US government shutdown, but also the unfortunate loss of crucial economic data like October's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). Despite a positive start to the week, equity markets experienced volatility, particularly on Thursday, before rebounding from the 50-day moving average on the S&P 500 on Friday.
The market's nervousness stems from two key factors: a perceived decrease in the probability of a December Fed rate cut, and emerging doubts about the sustainability of the AI-driven rally.
Initially, after the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, markets priced in a near-certain December rate cut based on the "dot plot," which indicated that a majority of Fed officials anticipated a rate reduction. However, at the subsequent October meeting, Fed Chair Powell explicitly stated that a December rate cut was "not a foregone conclusion," suggesting a lack of consensus within the committee. Following this, numerous Fed speakers echoed a hawkish sentiment, citing concerns about persistent inflation and a seemingly robust labor market.
The speaker elaborates on the challenges facing the Fed. Inflation remains stubbornly around 2.7%, while the unemployment rate is gradually rising, creating conflicting signals. Uncertainty also surrounds the impact of tariffs on inflation and the restrictiveness of the current monetary policy. Divergent risk tolerances among Fed members further complicate the situation, contributing to the market's reassessment of a December rate cut.
Historically, mania phases in markets have been associated with central banks raising rates. At the moment, it is historically strange because the Fed is discussing rate cuts in this period.
Despite the hawkish rhetoric, the speaker believes a December rate cut remains likely. The lack of significant new economic data since September, coupled with the economic headwinds created by the government shutdown, should have reinforced a dovish stance. Importantly, dovish voices on the Fed board still hold sway, and weaker-than-expected data would strengthen the case for a rate cut. Research suggesting that tariffs are disinflationary and increase unemployment further contradicts arguments for maintaining a hawkish approach.
The second major concern relates to cracks in the AI narrative. The speaker identifies two specific issues: widening credit default swap (CDS) spreads for certain AI-related companies, and scrutiny of depreciation accounting practices. The increase in CDS spreads for companies like Oracle and CoreWeave, which are involved in building AI infrastructure, indicates growing concern among bond investors about their ability to repay debt. Oracle's post-earnings rally, fueled by promises of significant AI-related build-out, is viewed skeptically by bond investors who prioritize repayment and cash flow generation.
Michael Burry, who predicted the 2008 financial crisis, has raised concerns about the depreciation schedules used by tech companies for their GPU (graphics processing unit) assets. Burry suggests that the currently used five-year depreciation lifespan for GPUs is too long, leading to understated expenses and artificially inflated profits. A shorter depreciation lifespan would increase annual depreciation charges, reducing reported earnings.
While these cracks exist, the speaker emphasizes that the vast majority of AI spending is financed by hyperscalers like Meta, Google, and Amazon, which generate substantial cash flows. Although these companies have also cut costs by reducing the size of their labor forces to save money and buy AI data centers.
Looking ahead, the speaker anticipates a significant week with the release of delayed September Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) data and Nvidia's earnings report. A positive outcome from Nvidia, reaffirming the AI narrative, coupled with weaker-than-expected economic data supporting a December rate cut, could trigger a seasonal rally and a further rise in the S&P 500.
