Why It Matters

美國勞動市場持續展現韌性,8月非農就業新增16.2萬人並上修前兩月數據,美聯儲於9月16日時隔三年再度升息1碼以應對通膨壓力,同時中東地緣政治緊張推升能源價格波動,為全球通膨前景增添變數。

近期全球金融市場持續受到就業數據、通膨壓力與地緣政治風險交互影響,市場波動明顯升溫。美國最新公布的8月非農就業新增16.2萬人,不僅優於市場預期,先前兩個月數據亦同步上修,顯示勞動市場仍具韌性。另一方面,中東局勢持續緊張,原油供應風險升高,能源價格波動為通膨增添不確定性,市場擔憂若能源成本上升可能再度推升全球通膨壓力。美國聯準會(Fed)於9月16日為抑制通膨,睽違3年再度升息1碼,將聯邦資金利率目標區間調升至3.75% 至4%,而美國10年期公債殖利率也於5% 附近徘徊。高利率環境延續下,後續市場持續關注經濟數據、地緣政治及能源價格走勢對通膨的影響。

對債券投資人而言,目前海外債投資等級債殖利率處於近15年相對高檔水準,提供收益布局的投資契機。由於海外債在發行人未發生違約的情況下,可依契約條件支付票息,因此,殖利率走升代表可鎖定的利率較高,雖債券價格短期承壓,卻也意味著新進場資金可享有更具吸引力的價格。

請繼續往下閱讀...

善用海外債券打造規律現金流與資產護航

海外債券最大的特色是具定期配息機制,可提供相對具規律性的現金流。投資人持有期間可定期領取票息收入,若發行人未發生違約情形,持有至到期通常可領回債券面額本金;相較於全球股市在AI題材及企業獲利帶動下已累積不少漲幅,部分市場評價來到相對高水位,未來若面臨獲利成長放緩或市場情緒轉變,波動風險可能增加,因此具備固定收益特性的海外債券,除了可追求穩定收益,也適合作為分散風險與強化資產組合的重要工具。

在全球金融市場不確定性仍高的環境下,投資人可透過分批布局方式參與債券市場,一方面鎖定目前相對較高的殖利率水準,另一方面掌握利率下降時所帶來的潛在資本利得機會,在追求收益之餘,也為自己的投資組合增加穩定性與防禦力。

The National Development and Reform Commission will announce the August economic boom signal. If the red light continues to shine, it will tie the longest record in history.

The National Development Council will announce the August business climate signal this week. If the red light continues to shine, it will tie the record of nine consecutive red lights set in 2021. Supported by export growth driven by AI demand and solid domestic demand, the National Development Council is "very cautiously optimistic" about the economic performance in August. At the same time, the China Academy of Economics predicts that the manufacturing PMI in September will exceed the boom-bust line for 12 consecutive months. The manufacturing PMI in August reached 62.5%, the fastest expansion rate in the past five years. However, the non-manufacturing NMI fell to 55.6% due to stock market fluctuations affecting consumer confidence.

The outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war dampened optimistic expectations in the bond market, and new Fed Chairman Hua Xu adopted vague policies, leading to increased volatility in U.S. debt.

In January 2026, the overseas bond market was optimistic because the Federal Reserve entered a cycle of interest rate cuts. However, the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war at the end of February led to rising oil prices and a rebound in inflation, which dampened bond market expectations. Fed Chairman George W. Bush, who took office in May, changed past transparency practices, significantly reduced policy statements, and withdrew forward guidance and dot plots, plunging the market into uncertainty. At the September FOMC meeting, the Fed raised interest rates by 1%, ending a two-year cycle of interest rate cuts. It is expected that interest rates may be raised by another 2 percentage points before the end of the year, but the long-term interest rate trend is still affected by the U.S.-Iran War, raw material prices and U.S. economic growth variables. The article recommends that overseas bond investments should be conservative, focusing on public bonds in the short term, and corporate bonds with a term of 5-10 years or above, Class A or above, may be considered in the long term.

AI-driven biotech medicine: The market for personalized cancer vaccines is expected to reach US$23.3 billion in 2035

The article pointed out that the focus of AI investment is expanding from hardware such as GPUs and servers to the field of biotechnology and medical care, especially personalized mRNA cancer vaccines. The vaccine significantly reduced the risk of recurrence in phase III clinical trials of melanoma, and is undergoing expanded trials for lung cancer, bladder cancer, and more. Market forecasts show that the personalized cancer vaccine market will grow from US$4.2 billion in 2025 to US$23.32 billion in 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.7%. AI uses algorithms to accelerate neoantigen screening and mRNA design, shortening drug development time from years to weeks. The article recommends that investors diversify their positions through biotech ETFs or leading stocks to steadily participate in the AI-driven precision medical revolution.
