景順:預期美國國會最終將上調或暫停債務上限,投資者可保留“彈藥”以便抓住進場機會

5月11日,景順亞太區環球市場策略師趙耀庭發文表示,近期美國債務違約事件加劇了金融市場的風險,大部分風險資產可能與2011年一樣經歷市場波動的衝擊。但在等待國會通過債務上限期間,美聯儲加息的全面效應仍在不斷向經濟滲透。短期而言,景順認爲市場不會急於承險,投資者可以保留一些“彈藥”,以便把握債務上限引起的波動所帶來的部分買入機會,尤其是新興市場及美國小型股。

景順指出,近期美國有關債務上限的“膽小鬼遊戲”加劇了金融市場的風險,市場一方面希望雙方迅速達成協議,但另一方面亦爲潛在的違約做好準備。回顧2011年,當時直到最後關頭國會才通過債務上限議案。儘管最後雙方達成協議,國會通過了多年期開支削減計劃,但由於國庫券市場逼近違約,金融市場仍經歷劇烈波動。

但不同的是,這次債務上限事件還受到美聯儲加息影響。美聯儲爲抑制通脹,在2022年激進加息。因此在等待國會通過債務上限期間,此等加息的全面效應仍在不斷向經濟滲透。受各種因素的影響,包括經濟增長或會放緩,近期銀行業危機及潛在違約風險,投資者風險意欲可能下降。

總的來看,景順認爲國會最終會上調或暫停債務上限,允許美國政府恢復正常的債務發行及融資活動。然而,由於拜登政府要求債務上限議案“乾淨利落且不附加任何條件”,雙方可能要到最後一刻方可達成協議。此外,部分國會成員尋求於同意上調債務上限之前削減開支,這或將增加談判難度,亦令迅速達成協議變得不太可能。

短期而言,鑑於投資者仍在等待聯儲局發佈利率指引及無休止的債務上限鬧劇即將上演,市場或不會急於承險,更多風險資產可能與2011年一樣經歷市場波動的衝擊。

2011年,債務上限辯論引發避險環境,進而爲投資者提供了買入的良機。自2011年7月至2011年9月,股市遭到拋售,高質量股票及防禦型板塊則表現出色。以史爲鑑,投資者可以保留一些“彈藥”,以便把握債務上限引起的波動所帶來的部分買入機會,尤其是新興市場及美國小型股。
