AWS(Amazon Web Services,亚马逊云服务)处在“AI基础设施”交易主线的核心。交易员关注:云客户是否继续花钱、AI运算负载(AI工作量/算力需求)是否增长够快,以及资本开支(capex,公司用于机房、服务器等长期资产的投资)未来能否转化为更强现金流(企业实际收到的现金,衡量赚钱质量)。

第一季度通胀为1.4%,与预期一致。虽然不意外,但也确认物价压力(价格持续上涨的压力)并未足够快地减弱。整体来看,通胀依然偏高,按年(annual rate:与去年同一时期相比)增幅目前约在5.5%附近,远高于澳洲储备银行(Reserve Bank of Australia,RBA:澳洲中央银行)的目标区间。
这让RBA处境更棘手,短期内谈降息(interest rate cuts:下调政策利率)机会不大。RBA在2025年把现金利率(cash rate:澳洲的政策利率)升至4.35%后暂停加息(暂停上调利率),但通胀持续偏高会让政策继续保持紧缩倾向。因此,市场更倾向预期“高利率维持更久”(higher for longer:利率在较高水平停留更长时间)。
对利率市场交易者来说,这意味着未来六个月降息概率明显下降。卖出澳交所(ASX)30天银行间现金利率期货(30 Day Interbank Cash Rate Futures:以未来短期利率为标的的期货合约)下半年合约,属于押注央行不放宽政策的做法。另一种思路是买入三年期国债期货看涨期权(call options:价格上涨时获利的期权;three-year bond futures:以三年期国债为标的的期货),因为收益率(yields:债券回报率)可能维持在较高水平。
澳元(Australian dollar)可能从这份数据获得支撑,因为较高利率通常会吸引外资流入。加上澳洲贸易条件(terms of trade:出口价格相对进口价格的比率)维持强劲,利率前景偏强为汇率提供支撑。衍生品(derivatives:价值来自汇率/利率等标的的金融合约)策略上,可考虑买入AUD/USD看涨期权,或卖出价外看跌期权(out-of-the-money puts:执行价远低于现价的看跌期权,靠收取权利金获利)。
由于结果更像“二选一”,使用期权价差策略(Options spreads,用同时买卖不同执行价或不同到期日的期权来控制风险)可更清楚地界定风险。例如“熊市看跌价差”(Bear put spread:买入较高执行价的看跌期权,同时卖出较低执行价的看跌期权),可押注油价下跌,同时在冲突意外进一步升级时,将潜在亏损限制在可控范围内。
