尽管市场普遍担忧滞胀和缓慢复苏,美国银行却提出了一个截然不同的乐观预测,认为美国经济和股市可能迎来“大繁荣”。分析师们指出,政治意愿、国内制造业刺激法案、全球再通胀力量、企业大规模资本支出以及经济信号指标的潜在转变,共同构成了支持这一“大繁荣”论点的五大支柱。其中,科技巨头计划的巨额资本支出和全球主要经济体的刺激措施是关键驱动力。尽管当前多数基金经理仍持保守态度,但美国银行认为,经济迎来上行突破的催化剂真实且迫在眉睫,一旦关键经济指标转向,市场可能出现快速轮动。

📈 **政治意愿驱动经济增长**:临近美国中期选举,政策制定者有强烈动机推动短期内有利于经济增长的举措,为经济注入活力。

🏭 **国内制造业刺激计划**:华盛顿推出的旨在刺激国内制造业的“One Big Beautiful Bill Act”(OBBBA)法案,将为本土产业发展提供重要支持。

🌍 **全球再通胀与刺激浪潮**:德国已出台欧盟史上最大规模的经济刺激计划,同时全球其他地区也正在积聚再通胀的力量,这将为美国经济提供外部动力。

💻 **企业巨头大规模资本支出**:亚马逊、Meta、微软和Alphabet等科技巨头计划在2025年至2026年间投入近7000亿美元用于资本支出,加上更多非美国企业计划在美国扩大制造能力以及市政部门对基础设施的更新,预示着资本支出将迎来广泛扩张。

📊 **经济信号指标预示复苏**:美国银行的“Regime Indicator”结合了企业每股收益修正、GDP预测等宏观信号,正处于从“衰退”转向“复苏”的边缘,历史数据显示这通常预示着价值股的上涨。

In a market landscape still fixated on fears of stagflation and modest recoveries, Bank of America is sounding a contrarian—and decidedly bullish—note.

According to new note from BofA Research analysts, the next phase for the U.S. economy and equities might not be a routine recovery, but an outright boom.

“Today a confluence of factors argue that the key tail risk that may not be priced in is not just a cyclical recovery, but a boom,” they said.

5 reasons for a boom

BofA analysts cited five pillars supporting this more bullish case.

First is political will, arguing that with U.S. midterm elections a few quarters away, policymakers have strong incentive for near-term, pro-growth initiatives.

Second is Washington’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) targeting domestic manufacturing.

Third is the massive overseas jolt gathering, with Germany recently enacting the largest stimulus package in EU history, while global reflationary forces are building elsewhere.

Fourth, BofA sees a broad expansion of capex, with hyperscalers such as Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet set for nearly $700 billion in capital expenditures between 2025 and 2026. In addition, more non-US companies plan to expand manufacturing capacity in the US, while municipalities are focused on updating aging infrastructure.

Fifth, BofA cited its proprietary “Regime Indicator,” a blend of macro signals including corporate revisions to earnings per share, GDP forecasts, and other emerging signals. It’s on the verge of flipping from a “Downturn” to a “Recovery”—a change that historically presages a rally in value stocks.

The dominant narrative in this indicator remains conservative, according to the BofA team, led by Savita Subramanian. In June, 70% of fund managers still predicted stagflation, with only 10% foreseeing a “boom” of above-trend growth and inflation. Yet, BofA argues, the catalyst for an upside breakout is real and imminent. If the Regime Indicator does indeed flip to “Recovery” in early August, historical precedent suggests a rapid rotation is likely.

So how healthy are these five factors actually looking?

Will there be enough spending?

Top economies have already pledged massive stimulus. In March, China unveiled plans to issue 1.3 trillion yuan ($179 billion) in special treasury bonds this year, plus 4.4 trillion yuan of local government special-purpose bonds.

Meanwhile, much of the EU’s stimulus still flowing from the earlier NextGenerationEU package is worth up to €806.9 billion (about $880 billion) through 2026. Major European economies have supplemented this with additional investments and, in some cases, targeted fiscal expansion.

Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Australia have adopted smaller-scale but still significant fiscal measures in 2025 to address sector-specific slowdowns, energy security, and household purchasing power. Most are focusing on targeted transfers, green investments, and industrial support.

Meanwhile, American companies have announced billions in new U.S. manufacturing, infrastructure, and technology investments since Trump took office, but these initiatives were announced before passage of the OBBBA.

Many investments are phased and slated for completion over the next decade, and it’s unclear how much can come online soon enough to play a role in the boom that BofA Research is projecting. Some of them, such as OpenAI’s $500 billion Stargate project, are reportedly struggling to raise funding to match the big numbers initially announced.
