"20251201 Morgan Stanley Closed-Door Meeting": Major changes and market trends expected globally and in China by 2026
1. Macro Economy and Policies (China vs. Global)
China's Economic Cycle:
Deflation Dilemma: 2026 is defined as the "Year of Hard Exploration" to exit deflation (transition period), with true recovery expected in 2027 (implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan).
Growth Expectations: Nominal GDP is projected to grow just over 4% in 2026, but a significant economic downturn may occur in the second half of 2025 (Q4 GDP could drop to 4.5%).
Policy Measures: Fiscal deficit is expected to increase by 1.5 trillion RMB, with moderate intensity. Policy toolkit includes "Three Key Moves": infrastructure/AI computing (H1 2026), mortgage interest subsidies (post-NPC/CPPCC sessions in March 2026), and service sector consumption support (H2 2026).
U.S. Stocks and AI:
Extremely bullish on the 2026 U.S. stock market rally: Driven by "fiscal dividends" (tax/investment incentives from the "Big and Beautiful" Act) + "AI application" (shifting from infrastructure to S&P 500 profit growth).
Risks: Closely monitor the Fed's rate-cut path (delays or reduced scale could squeeze corporate credit).
2. China Market Allocation and Strategy
Valuation and Upside: MSCI China Index valuations are reasonable (~13x PE), transitioning from "value 洼地" to "pockets of growth." Index upside is modest ("single-digit" growth).
Allocation Advice: Endorse a "barbell strategy"—balancing "moonshot tech narratives" with the slow macro deflation exit.
Foreign Capital: Clear willingness to increase allocations to Chinese stocks (especially mid-to-long-term tech sectors), with capital inflows expected in 2026.
3. Sector Deep Dive
Automotive Industry:
Key Themes: Policy shocks，存量 competition, valuation reset.
Pessimistic Forecast: Domestic passenger vehicle sales may drop 6-8% in 2026 (due to purchase tax adjustments).
Trends: Intensified competition (more features at lower prices), capex shift overseas (global expansion is key, with overseas share expected to double in 5 years), Robo-Taxi (commercial scale of 350k units by 2030).
Smart Robotics/Humanoid Robots:
Rationalization: 2025 is the year of heavy capital inflows; 2026 is the "survival of the fittest" phase.
Downgraded Expectations: 2026 demand forecasts slashed from 100k to 15k-20k units.
Path Forward: Focus on validation by leading firms; "multi-form robots" (collaborative, mobile, cleaning) may outpace humanoids.
Core Takeaways
Macro View:
2026 is a "Year of Divergence" for global asset allocation. The U.S. enjoys AI + fiscal tailwinds, while China struggles with structural deflation.
Investor Guidance:
1. Lower China expectations: No 指数级 bull market in 2026—MSCI China offers single-digit upside. True reversal signals (exiting deflation) await 2027.
2. Embrace the "barbell": Defensive assets until deflation ends + high-conviction growth (global exporters, curated AI/robotics leaders).
3. Sector Risks: Avoid domestic-auto pure plays (2026 will be ugly); shun overhyped robotics 概念股 (only leaders survive).
4. Timing: A 2025H2 GDP "dip" may be the best entry point for long-term capital (foreign inflows) betting on 2027 recovery.
Bottom Line:
U.S.: AI adoption + fiscal stimulus; China: policy support + global expansion. 2026 is dawn’s faint glow—not broad daylight.
