空頭跌倒,美股開年漲瘋了!美聯儲會坐視不理嗎?
uSMART盈立智投 01-30 14:05

在去年獲利約3000億美元之後,截至上週四,今年空頭累計虧損約810億美元。

去年才實現四年來首次盈利的美股空頭,卻在2023新年伊始就被現實上了生動的一課。

高盛追蹤羅素3000中空頭最愛50只股票的指數顯示,今年截至上週四的收益率爲15%,遠超標普500指數6%的漲幅。其中在去年創歷史最差表現的$特斯拉(TSLA.US)$,已在1月斬獲44%的漲幅。

媒體1月29日報道稱,數據機構S3 Partners主管預測分析的董事總經理Ihor Dusaniwsky表示,目前損失慘重的空頭正在積極減倉。在去年獲利約3000億美元之後,截至上週四,今年空頭累計虧損約810億美元。

關於美股在開年呈現反彈態勢,相關分析人士和投資者認爲,有若幹因素在共同助力。但同時也有觀點認爲,近期美股上漲或令金融環境再度放鬆,阻礙遏制通脹的行動,美聯儲可能不會坐視不理。

通脹放緩 投資者押注美股上漲

近期通脹放緩跡象令投資者加大對美股上漲的押注,他們預計美聯儲最早將於今年下半年啓動降息。

而這推動了風險資產的全面上漲,其中風險相對較大的市場板塊頗受青睞,比如空頭頭寸高的美股股票就經歷了更大程度反彈。分析人士認爲,這可能迫使空頭平倉以減少損失,從而導致“擠空”。

瑞銀全球財富管理美洲股票主管David Lefkowitz表示:

我們看到的是(去年)美股的鏡像......去年墊底的公司在今年斬獲最佳表現......這看起來確實像是空頭回補和投資者選擇重新冒險。

估值較低科技股成上佳切入點

並且對於希望將資金從防禦資產中轉移出來的投資者而言,去年遭受重創、估值較低的科技股是很好的切入點。

FactSet的數據顯示,納斯達克綜合指數即使經歷年初反彈,估值相對於大流行期間仍處於較低水平,過去12個月的市盈率約爲22倍,較2021年2月峯值的近37倍明顯下行。

財富管理機構Wealth Enhancement Group高級副總裁兼財務顧問Nicole Webb表示,如果美聯儲開始放鬆貨幣政策,科技股將尤爲受益。

債券收益率回落形成利好

此外,債券收益率回落也對科技股形成利好。目前10年期美債收益率已從去年10月4.2%的峯值回落至3.5%。

通常情況下,科技股受益於未來可獲得的鉅額利潤,並且在利率較低、投資者投資選擇較少時表現最佳。

值得注意的是,美國火熱的勞動力市場和中國經濟的超預期復甦也成爲不容忽視的利好因素。

美聯儲會作何反應?

然而針對近期上漲行情,有投資者警告稱,風險資產的長期上漲或令金融環境再度放鬆,阻礙美聯儲遏制通脹的行動。並且有人提及,如果美聯儲繼續實施超預期的激進貨幣政策,部分因“擠空”而推動的漲勢可能很容易被快速逆轉。

Lefkowitz表示:

人們現在更願意爲軟着陸定價......我糾結的是,美聯儲對此作何反應?如果經濟增長較數週前市場預期更爲強勁,我們真的能將通脹降至美聯儲目標水平嗎?

美聯儲將於北京時間本週四公佈FOMC利率決議,目前市場預計加息幅度爲25基點,較去年有所放緩。

芝加哥商品交易所集團(CME Group)的數據顯示,利率市場交易員認爲,美聯儲上半年至少加息兩次的可能性爲92%,在12月前至少降低一次的可能性爲82%。
