由于對經濟衰退的擔憂加劇,股市上周遭遇了慘烈的暴跌,但凱投宏觀預測,人工智能熱潮將繼續引領股市走高。
上周五公布的7月就業報告意外疲弱,以及上周四美國供應管理協會制造業指數急劇惡化,均令股市下挫。上周,標準普爾500指數下跌2.5%,納斯達克指數下跌3.6%,此前因小盤股輪動而飆升的羅素2000指數下跌近7%。
與此同時,對經濟增長的擔憂引發了人們對美聯儲將推出更激進的寬松周期的預期,華爾街預計利率最終將下調200個基點或更多。
凱投宏觀資深市場經濟學家戴安娜·伊萬內爾(Diana Iovanel)在上周五的一份報告中表示,股市應該會恢復上漲。
她寫道:“對美國經濟衰退的擔憂重燃,增加了美聯儲進一步降息的可能性。但我們認為,美國經濟阻礙股市反彈的時間不會太長?!?/p>
她補充說,股票估值遠未達到“經濟大災難”的程度,信貸息差仍接近歷史低點。凱投宏觀認為,從9月到明年7月,美聯儲將在每次會議上降息。
伊萬內爾表示,經濟衰退的可能性不大,在今年下半年的疲軟期過后,經濟增長甚至會重新加速。
她表示:“因此,我們預計風險情緒不會進一步惡化。其結果是,我們認為經濟不會對人工智能引發的泡沫很快再次升溫形成太大阻礙?!?/p>
事實上,微軟(Microsoft)、Meta和谷歌(Google)最近發布的財報顯示,它們第二季度在人工智能服務的基礎設施、土地和芯片上共花費了405億美元。每家公司都表示,這些數字明年只會更大。
這些支出最終很可能會流向英偉達(Nvidia)等人工智能芯片供應商身上,后者過去幾年的營收和股價都出現了天文數字般的增長。
華爾街的其他人則呼吁投資者不要對就業的突然疲軟反應過度。曾擔任美聯儲經濟學家的克勞迪婭·薩姆(Claudia Sahm)提出了“薩姆規則”經濟衰退指標。她告訴《財富》雜志,她目前并不擔心美國陷入衰退,并指出美國家庭收入仍在增長,消費者支出和企業投資仍保持韌性。
不過,目前擔任投資公司New Century Advisors首席經濟學家的薩姆說,近期勞動力市場的趨勢充其量也只能說是疲軟。

The stock market suffered a brutal bloodbath last week as recession concerns shot up, but Capital Economics predicted the artificial intelligence boom will continue to lead the way higher.
The surprisingly weak July jobs report on Friday and the sharp deterioration in the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index on Thursday sank stocks. For the week, the S&P 500 lost 2.5%, the Nasdaq fell 3.6%, and the Russell 2000, which previously soared on a rotation into small caps, tumbled nearly 7%.
Meanwhile, economic growth concerns have raised expectations for more aggressive easing cycle from the Federal Reserve, with Wall Street seeing rates eventually plunging by 200 basis points or more.
In a note on Friday, Capital Economics senior markets economist Diana Iovanel said the stock rally should resume.
“Renewed fears of a US recession have increased the chances of additional rate cuts from the Fed,” she wrote. “But we don’t think that the US economy will stand in the way of an equity rally for much longer.”
Stock valuations are nowhere near indicating an “economic cataclysm,” and credit spreads are still close to record lows, she added. Capital Economics sees the Fed cutting rates at each meeting from September until next July.
Iovanel said a recession is unlikely and growth will even reaccelerate after a soft patch in the second half of this year.
“So we don’t expect risk sentiment to deteriorate much further,” she said. “The upshot is that we doubt the economy will stand much in the way of the AI-fueled bubble picking up steam again soon.”
Indeed, recent earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta and Google indicate they spent a combined $40.5 billion on the infrastructure, land, and chips that power their AI services during the second quarter. And each company indicated that those numbers will only get bigger next year.
Such spending will likely end up at AI chip suppliers like Nvidia, which has seen astronomical increases in revenue and its stock price in the last few years.
Others on Wall Street have called for investors not to overreact to the sudden weakening in jobs. Claudia Sahm, a former Fed economist who developed the “Sahm Rule” recession indicator, told Fortune on Friday that she’s not concerned right now that the U.S. is in a recession, pointing out that household income is still growing while consumer spending and business investment remain resilient.
Still, recent trends in the labor market have looked weak at best, said Sahm, who is now chief economist at investment firm New Century Advisors.
“It’s been very accurate over time, so that shouldn’t be dismissed,” she added, noting that “recessions can build slowly, and then come quickly.”
