Livelihood Strategy: the market will regain the long forgotten “Pro cyclical” logic

this week’s market: dominated by absolute income thinking, gem and new energy led the decline

This week (December 20, 2021-december 24, 2012), there was still no “restless” market in the market, and the main broad-based indexes fell significantly. In terms of style, the value was dominant, while the new energy sector previously considered to be “the most deterministic in the short term and long term” fell significantly (- 6.7%). It should be noted that overseas disturbances are multifaceted, and the financing cost of global transaction funds is linked to the US real interest rate. Therefore, regardless of “true or false foreign capital”, under the tightening trend of the Federal Reserve, the probability of significant fluctuations of the above funds is increasing. More importantly, domestic investors are experiencing the logical evolution of some certainty in core asset investment since the beginning of the year: from “fear of missing” to “fear of losing”, absolute returns are dominating, and cracks are emerging in the past “consensus”.

“steady growth” is the direction. We should not underestimate our determination because of technical uncertainty

at present, developing infrastructure and stabilizing real estate are the main means of “stable growth”. since the “730” meeting, the policy level has been conveying the signal of “stable growth” and is gradually landing and producing results: the issuance of government bonds has been accelerated since August; Since October, the medium and long-term loans of residents dominated by mortgage loans have increased from the same ratio; On December 20, the one-year interest rate of LPR was lowered, which helped to stabilize real estate sales, and the financing care measures for developers were gradually introduced; On December 22, the national development and Reform Commission made it clear that it will further simplify the management of investment audit and lay the foundation for financial development. In terms of the source of funds for “steady growth” worried by the market, the constraints of local governments may not be as great as expected, and the central government may become the main driver of “steady growth” due to its low leverage. In fact, the amount of special bonds issued in advance in 2022 is also higher than in previous years. In fact, after experiencing the implementation of “ensuring supply and stabilizing price” of bulk commodities in the third quarter of this year, the market should realize that the implementation of policy determination should not be ignored because it is impossible to predict the way to finally achieve the goal (nuclear capacity increase, mining increase and administrative price limit). for investors in cyclical stocks, the demand logic is replacing the supply logic. From “ensuring supply and stabilizing price” to “stabilizing growth”, cyclical investors also begin to stand on the friendly side of the policy, not the opposite.

if “clockwise”

In the process of three rounds of recovery (2005-2007, 2009-2010 and 2016-2017), finance, coal and nonferrous metals always led the increase, while building materials ran through and steel ended. The logic of this round of “steady growth” is different from the previous one in that there have been more positive changes on the supply side, which will lead to more elasticity of the boom signal (price) of traditional industries represented by coal, nonferrous metals, steel and building materials relative to the recovery of demand. In our annual strategy, “victory in the end”, we discussed that its long-term profit center is moving upward. The actual situation is that in the cycle market of 2021, investors are worried about its sustainability and do not give reasonable valuation and pricing. However, the next stage may be that the expected rebound will be ushered in before the profits of the cyclical industry have fully fallen, and the long-term contraction of valuation will be repaired. the market will regain the long forgotten “Pro cyclical” logic in the future, but we should also pay attention to new logical changes.

light in the crack of consensus: the return of value

The breach of consensus has emerged, the steady-state structure of the market is being broken, and will continue to adjust in the short term, but hope is brewing. The economic fundamentals will be opportunities rather than risks. The “Pro cyclical” logic left for nearly one year will return again, and investors can start layout: (1) financial sector under Credit stabilization: real estate, banking, infrastructure and real estate order driven construction industry ; (2) The recovery of demand drives the profit revaluation in the traditional cycle: coal, nonferrous metals (copper, aluminum), building materials and steel . Topic recommendation: Rural Revitalization (seed industry, agricultural machinery, cold chain and environmental protection) .

risk tip : uncertainty of covid-19 epidemic situation; The implementation of the steady growth policy was less than expected.
