大新金融集团首席经济及策略师温嘉炜指,中美贸易战虽然稍为缓和,惟前景仍具不确定性,预料会继续为香港外贸表现带来挑战;受惠中美暂时下调双方关税税率,预测今年香港经济增长2.4%,假设美国关税水平基本维持,恒生指数下半年有望挑战25,000点,20,800点附近或有一定支持,高股息率、内需消费及创科板块前景或较正面。他又料下半年美联储将减息2次,每次25个基点。
温嘉炜表示,本港按揭利率从高位显著回落,同时租金回报率逐步回升,有助纾缓楼价下行压力。然而,一手住宅潜在供应充裕,料不会在短期内快速消化,加上贸易战为经济前景带来不明朗因素,预计2025年全年楼价可能跌约5%。
零售市道方面,本港大型体育场馆落成并陆续举行多项大型活动,预计可带动部分零售消费活动,加上香港股市近期反复回升,短线或有助提振消费气氛。
内地方面,温嘉炜认为内需有放缓迹象,贸易战带来的不明朗性短线打击企业的投资及生产意欲。出口短线可望保持增长,主要原因是企业部分出口商品转向东盟等其他地区,抵销了部分美国出口下跌的影响。在内地放宽货币政策及中央承诺要实施更加积极的财政政策刺激内需下,集团预期今年内地经济增长4.4%。他又料内地下半年或再减息降准一次。 (ss/u)
