2018年，首次担任美国总统的特朗普在赫尔辛基峰会与俄罗斯总统普京举行联合记者会时，场面一度十 分糟糕，他的首席俄罗斯问题顾问菲奥娜·希尔（Fiona Hill）称，自己当时甚至考虑假装癫痫发作来终 止整场活动。 本周五特朗普在阿拉斯加与普京会面时，俄罗斯问题专家大概率不会出现在会场。第二任期内，特朗普 更看重高级助手的忠诚度而非经验，同时还大力削减联邦雇员队伍。 美国与俄罗斯的谈判一直由房地产开发商史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）主导，他是个外交新手，而 职业专家则被边缘化、诋毁并被迫离职。 "可以肯定地说，特朗普身边没有一个懂俄乌问题的政策制定者为他提供建议，"埃里克·鲁宾（Eric Rubin）表示。他是前职业外交官，曾在特朗普第一任期内任美国驻保加利亚大使。 在特朗普与普京这场高风险会面前夕，美国政府官员通常会紧锣密鼓地准备，确保总统充分了解情况， 能应对俄罗斯领导人可能提出的任何话题。 执政俄罗斯25年的普京，以对细节的掌控力强著称，且擅长出其不意让对话者陷入被动。 美国前总统拜登任内担任国家安全委员会俄罗斯事务高级主任的埃里克·格林（Eric Green）表示："要 避免被他在辩论中 ...

AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 音频由扣子空间生成 鲍威尔在近期政策会议上多次认可这一动态，7月也再次提到："劳动力市场从诸多指标来看仍处于平衡状态"。受 关税引发的信心冲击影响，劳动力需求可能在下降，但供给减少是过去一年失业率维持不变的原因之一。 巴斯基坎提到，职位空缺与失业人数之比已回落至疫情前的1左右，就业-劳动力缺口、求职成功率等指标也处于 疫情前水平，并未显示劳动力市场存在过度松弛的担忧。 这些变化自然让一些固执的分析师开始质疑"联邦基金利率今年剩余时间维持不变"的预测。英国《金融时报》货 币政策雷达（Monetary PolicyRadar）团队认为，这在很大程度上仍取决于从现在到9月17日下次会议期间的情 况。数据方面，在此之前还会发布一份通胀数据、一份非农就业报告，以及官方职位空缺数据。 投资者还将从8月下旬杰克逊霍尔会议的言论中，更清晰地了解美联储的反应机制。因此，尽管支撑"美联储维持 利率"判断的基础正在动摇，但该团队目前仍坚持这一观点。 持相同立场的不止他们。路透社调查的分析师中，约六分之一预计美联储今年会维持利率不变。即便在7月非农数 据公布后，其中一些人仍认为美联储今年剩余时间 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in soda ash futures prices is driven by market sentiment rather than fundamental improvements, influenced by environmental rumors from Qinghai, coal price movements, and macroeconomic emotions, contrasting sharply with high inventory levels [1][3][5].
