Asia And Europe Markets Advance; Gold Up On Softer Dollar - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Wednesday, April 30, U.S. markets closed mixed as the Dow and S&amp;P 500 staged a late rebound, overcoming a surprise 0.3% GDP contraction — the first in three years. Consumer spending jumped 0.7%, easing stagflation concerns, while Meta and Microsoft surged on strong earnings. AI sector jitters, tariff tensions, and Fed rate cut bets fueled market volatility, with trading volumes below average.
In economic data, U.S. GDP fell 0.3% last quarter, the first decline since 2022, missing 0.4% growth forecasts. April's ADP report showed just 62,000 new private jobs, the weakest in nine months.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended higher Wednesday, led by health care, industrials, and consumer staples, while energy and consumer discretionary lagged.

Gold Slides On Trade Optimism, Dollar Strengthens - Global Markets Today While US Slept

미국과 중국은 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">시진핑 중국 국가주석</a>의 6월 "생일 정상회담"을 위한 초기 협상을 진행하고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 월스트리트저널에 따르면, 트럼프 행정부가 협상에서 우위를 점하기 위해 중국에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/trump-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">관세 및 무역</a> 조치를 강화하는 가운데 정상회담 논의가 이루어졌다.
트럼프(1946년 6월 14일생)와 시진핑(1953년 6월 15일생)의 생일인 6월을 전후로 정상회담이 열린다면, 세계 시장을 뒤흔들고 있는 무역 긴장 속에서 우호적인 분위기를 조성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 트럼프의 11월 대선 승리 이후 양국 정상은 정상회담 개최에 관심을 보였지만, 아직 구체적인 계획은 없다.
중국은 협상에 적극적인 것으로 알려졌다. 정상회담을 통해 미국의 추가 관세와 기술 제한이 늦춰지기를 바라고 있기 때문이다. 중국의 최근 수출 데이터는 예상치에 미치지 못했고, 중국은 디플레이션에 직면해 있다. 트럼프 행정부는 최근 미국의 펜타닐 위기에서 중국의 역할을 언급하며 중국 수입품에 대한 관세를 약 35%로 인상했다고 월스트리트저널이 보도했다.
왜 중요한가: 트럼프가 2024년 대선에서 승리한 이후로 미국과 중국의 지정학적 관계는 개선되지 않았다.
조 바이든 전 대통령은 트럼프의 대선 승리 이후 페루 리마에서 시 주석과 한 번 만났다. 그 전에 그들은 2023년에 만나 세계 경제, 공급망 붕괴, 그리고 보호 무역주의의 증가를 "심각한 문제"로 논의했다.

그러나 트럼프가 1월에 취임하자마자 모든 중국 수입품에 관세를 부과하는 것이 최우선 과제였다. 최근 3월 4일, 트럼프 행정부는 중국산 수입품에 대한 관세를 20%로 두 배로 인상했다.

트럼프와 시진핑, 무역 긴장 속 '생일 정상회담' 논의 중: WSJ 보도

며칠 전, 시장은 2024년에 중국 주식이 3년간의 하락세를 뒤로하고 반등한 것에 고무되었다. 그러나 중국 주식과 이에 노출된 ETF들에는 불확실성의 그림자가 드리워져 있다.
바이든 행정부가 두 개의 중국 기술 대기업인 텐센트 홀딩스(Tencent Holdings)와 컨템포러리 암페렉스 테크놀로지(CATL)를 블랙리스트에 추가하겠다고 발표한 것은 글로벌 시장에 충격파를 일으켰다. 이는 이미 불안정한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">미국-중국 경제 관계</a>에 미칠 영향을 투자자들이 우려하기 때문이다.
세계 최대 게임 퍼블리셔인 텐센트와 CATL은 1월 6일 주가가 급락했다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%E7%BE%8E-%EA%B5%AD%EB%B0%A9%EB%B6%80-%EB%B8%94%EB%9E%99%EB%A6%AC%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EC%97%90-%EC%98%A4%EB%A5%B8-%ED%85%8C%EC%8A%AC%EB%9D%BC-%EA%B3%B5%EA%B8%89%EC%97%85%EC%B2%B4-catl%EC%99%80-%ED%85%90/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">테슬라 공급업체 CATL, 리그 오브 레전드 개발사 텐센트, 펜타곤 블랙리스트 대응 법적 조치 계획, 군사적 연관 부인</a>
주목할 만한 ETF들 중에는 iShares MSCI China ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>)가 있다. 이 ETF는 전체 보유 자산 중 15.40%를 텐센트에 할당하고 있어, 1월 7일 순자산가치(NAV)가 1% 하락했다.
SPDR S&amp;P China ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GXC#NYSE">GXC</a>): 이 ETF는 다양한 보유 종목으로 유명하며, 텐센트에 11.42%를 할당하여 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 알리바바(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) 및 메이투안(Meituan)과 같은 다른 주요 중국 기업들도 포트폴리오에서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다.
Invesco China Technology ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CQQQ#NYSE">CQQQ</a>): 이 ETF는 자산의 100%를 중국 기술 주식에 할당하며, 지정학적 발전에 특히 민감하다. 또한 텐센트는 총 자산의 10.76%를 차지하고 있다.
또한, 테슬라 주식에 대한 노출이 높은 ETF들, 예를 들어 Simplify Volt TSLA Revolution ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TESL#NYSE">TESL</a>)도 CATL이 테슬라의 주요 배터리 공급업체라는 이유로 영향을 받고 있다.
텐센트와 CATL을 &#8216;중국 군사 회사&#8217; 목록에 추가하는 이 조치는 미국의 중국의 군사적 및 산업적 야망에 대한 대응 노력의 일환이었다. 이 지정은 즉각적인 제재를 부과하지 않지만, 미국 기업들이 이들 기업과 거래하지 않도록 단념시키는 효과가 있어, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/us-blacklist-of-china-s-tech-giants-risks-even-faster-decoupling?srnd=homepage-asia&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">블룸버그</a>가 언급한 바와 같이 투자자 심리에도 영향을 미친다.
현재 블랙리스트에는 134개의 중국 기업들이 포함되어 있으며, 이 중 4개는 시가총액 기준으로 중국 상위 20위 안에 들어, 총 가치가 거의 1조 달러에 달한다.
이제 ETF 투자자들은 중국 기업들에 직접 또는 간접적으로 노출된 펀드가 증가된 변동성을 경험할 수 있음을 주의 깊게 지켜보고 있다.

최근 몇 주 동안 중국 주식이 부양 정책에 힘입어 급격한 반등을 보였다. iShares MSCI China ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NYSE">MCHI</a>)가 추적하는 MSCI China Index는 9월 24일부터 10월 7일 사이에 35% 이상 급등했다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카의 애널리스트 위니 우(Winnie Wu)와 윌리 찬(Willie Chan)이 설명한 바와 같이, 이 &#8220;빠르고 격렬한&#8221; 랠리는 전 세계 다른 주요 시장의 성과를 초과했으며, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)로 추적되는 S&amp;P 500 지수의 연초 대비 상승 폭의 두 배 이상에 달했다.
이 랠리는 중국 당국이 발표한 일련의 공격적인 통화 완화 정책과 정부의 불안정한 부동산 시장 안정화에 대한 재확약으로 촉발되었다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">연초 대비 성과: MSCI 차이나, S&amp;P 500 두 배 상승</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-583894" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41-1024x455.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41-1024x455.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41-300x133.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41-768x342.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41-1536x683.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/07123344/image-41.png 1920w" alt="" width="1024" height="455" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">차트:<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent100724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro</a></figcaption></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2조 달러 규모의 시장 급등</h2>
9월 23일부터 30일까지 MSCI China Index는 거의 2조 달러의 시장 가치를 추가했다. 주요 수혜자는 귀주 마오타이(Kweichow Moutai)와 같은 블루칩 주식들이다. 귀주 마오타이는 39% 급등하여 880억 달러의 시가총액을 추가했으며, 텐센트 홀딩스 ADR(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>)은 15% 상승하여 700억 달러를 추가했다. 또한 알리바바 그룹 홀딩 – ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)는 27% 급등하여 580억 달러의 시가총액이 증가했다.
이러한 빠른 시장 상승은 투자자들 사이에서 중국 정책 당국이 경제적 도전 과제인 디플레이션 압박, 부동산 시장 침체 및 증가하는 지방 정부 부채 문제를 해결하기 위해 진지한 조치를 취하고 있다는 낙관론이 커지고 있음을 반영한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">주요 부양 조치가 랠리를 촉발</h2>
이 랠리는 9월 23일부터 시작된 일련의 예상치 못한 정책 발표로 촉발되었다. 이날 중국 인민은행(PBoC)은 14일 역환매조건부채권 금리를 10bp(베이시스 포인트) 인하하여 1.85%로 조정하고, 약 106억 달러(745억 위안)를 은행 시스템에 주입하여 시장을 놀라게 했다.
다음 날, PBoC 총재인 판궁성(Pan Gongsheng)은 더 큰 조치를 발표했다. 중앙은행은 지급준비율을 50bp 인하하여 약 1,425억 달러(1조 위안)를 금융 시스템에 주입할 것이며, 7일물 환매조건부채권 금리를 20bp 인하하고, 기준 대출 우대 금리와 기존 모기지 금리를 약 50bp 인하하겠다고 약속하여, 가계 이자 지급액을 약 210억 달러(1,500억 위안) 줄일 수 있다고 밝혔다.
그 후 9월 25일에는 PBoC가 1년 만기 중기대출금리(MLF)를 30bp 인하하고, 국영은행에 자본을 주입하겠다는 재정적 약속을 발표했습니다.
마지막으로, PBoC는 상업은행에게 기존 모기지 금리를 대출 우대 금리보다 30bp 이상 낮추도록 지시했다. 이 조치는 10월 31일 이전에 시행되어야 한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">중국 주식 ETF, 대규모 상승 기록</h2>
이러한 조치들은 중국 주식 ETF들이 S&amp;P 500 및 기타 글로벌 벤치마크를 상당히 초과하는 성과를 거두게 만들었다. 9월 24일부터 10월 7일 사이에 여러 중국 중심 ETF가 놀라운 상승률을 기록했다:
<ul>
<li>Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CQQQ#NYSE">CQQQ</a>): +52%</li>
<li>iShares MSCI China A ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNYA#NYSE">CNYA</a>): +48%</li>
<li>XTrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASHR#NYSE">ASHR</a>): +47%</li>
<li>WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXSE#NASDAQ">CXSE</a>): +43%</li>
<li>KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>): +40%</li>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GXC#NYSE">GXC</a>): +38%</li>
<li>Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>): +36%</li>
<li>iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>): +32%</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">향후 주의사항: 조정 가능성</h2>
이번 랠리가 강력했지만, 뱅크 오브 아메리카의 애널리스트들은 주의가 필요하다고 조언했다.
애널리스트들은 &#8220;부동산 시장을 안정화하고 지방 정부 채무를 구조조정하기 위한 추가 재정적 자극과 과잉 생산/디플레이션 문제를 해결하기 위한 구조적 개혁이 필요하다&#8221;고 지적했다.
그들은 현재의 &#8220;모든 것을 사라&#8221; 단계가 긍정적인 촉매제가 더 이상 나타나지 않으면 곧 끝날 수 있다고 경고했다.
높은 베타를 가진 소비재, 부동산 및 중개 주식은 급격히 상승한 후 이익 실현의 첫 번째 대상이 될 수 있다. 그러나 애널리스트들은 장기 투자자들이 잠재적인 조정을 매수 기회로 볼 수 있다고 제안했다. 특히 대형 인터넷 주식과 고수익 국영기업(SOE) 섹터는 변동성이 적다고 평가했다.
2024년 4분기에 대해 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 인터넷(미디어, 온라인 소매), 보험 및 헬스케어(특히 생명 과학 및 생명공학) 섹터에 대해 긍정적인 전망을 유지하고 있다. 이들은 3분기 동안 강력한 성과를 보였다.
그들은 강력한 랠리 이후 중개 주식에 대해 신중하게 접근하고, 실적 하향 조정 및 매력적이지 않은 가치 평가로 인해 유틸리티(가스, 수도) 부문에 대해 하향 조정을 했다. 또한, 부동산, 자동차, 건축 자재 및 화학 부문에 대해서는 기본적인 회복이 더 오랜 시간이 걸릴 것이라고 믿고 부정적 입장을 유지하고 있다.
