Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs indicates that Trump's spending plan cannot prevent the U.S. national debt from rising to "unsustainable" levels, with current debt levels only second to those during World War II [1][2]. Group 1: Debt and Interest Payments - The U.S. will need to pay $1 trillion in interest on $36 trillion of national debt next year, which exceeds the total spending on Medicare and defense combined [1]. - The current path of debt accumulation is unsustainable, with primary deficits far exceeding normal levels, and the debt-to-GDP ratio approaching post-World War II peaks [1][2]. - Interest payments on the national debt are projected to become the second-largest government expenditure after Social Security next year [1]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy and Political Challenges - Goldman Sachs warns that if debt continues to grow, the government will need to maintain historically rare and politically challenging fiscal surpluses to stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio [2]. - The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Republican spending bill will increase the deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade [2]. - The complexity of increasing taxes or cutting spending poses significant political challenges, making it difficult to address the debt issue effectively [2]. Group 3: Potential Consequences of Inaction - Delaying action on the debt issue may force Congress to make more difficult decisions in the future, potentially leading to extreme austerity measures that could negatively impact GDP [2]. - There is a risk that politicians may resort to excessive money printing to pay off debts, which could lead to hyperinflation and social unrest, as evidenced by historical precedents [2].

Market Overview - The market is experiencing heightened risk aversion due to concerns over escalating conflicts in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran, leading to fluctuations in various asset classes [3][9]. - The U.S. dollar index reached a peak of 99 before closing down 0.04% at 98.86, while U.S. Treasury yields showed volatility, with the 10-year yield closing at 4.3960% [3]. - Gold prices remained stable, closing up 0.03% at $3370.31 per ounce, while silver fell by 0.91% to $36.37 per ounce [6].

Group 1: Trade Negotiations and Tariffs - European officials are increasingly inclined to accept a 10% "reciprocal" tariff rate as a baseline for any trade agreement with the U.S. [1] - U.S. Commerce Secretary has ruled out the possibility of lowering the baseline tariff rate below 10%, which covers most goods exported from the EU to the U.S. [1] - EU negotiators are still striving to reduce the tariff rate below 10%, but the difficulty has increased since the U.S. began generating revenue from its global tariffs [1][2] Group 2: Impact on Companies - European automakers have been significantly impacted, with companies like Mercedes and Stellantis withdrawing their profit guidance due to the uncertainty caused by tariffs [4] - High-end car manufacturers can manage a 10% tariff, but it poses challenges for mass-market producers [4] - The inability to reach an agreement on tariffs could have a substantial negative impact on the market, as stated by industry executives [5] Group 3: Broader Economic Implications - The U.S. budget surplus in April was $258 billion, a 23% increase year-over-year, with net tariff revenue more than doubling compared to the previous year [3] - The U.S. is attempting to include non-tariff barriers such as digital services tax and corporate sustainability reporting rules in the negotiations [3] - The pharmaceutical industry is resisting industry-specific tariffs, although accepting a 10% baseline tariff could provide leverage in negotiations [5]

美国总统特朗普表示，在俄罗斯结束对乌克兰的军事行动前，他不希望俄罗斯领导人普京介入调解以色 列与伊朗的冲突。 普京多次提议斡旋以缓解伊以间不断升级的导弹袭击，尽管特朗普此前对普京担任调解人持"开放"态 度，但他周三态度突变。 特朗普在白宫对记者称："普京主动提出帮忙调解，我对他说，'帮个忙，先把你自己的事解决了，先调 解俄乌冲突吧，好吗'.......我说'弗拉基米尔（普京），我们先解决俄罗斯的问题，然后你再操心这个 （伊以冲突）'。" 俄罗斯与伊朗关系紧密：德黑兰向莫斯科提供军事无人机用于打击乌克兰，作为交换，伊朗获得民用核 项目支持。与此同时，俄罗斯也与以色列保持密切关系，以色列总理内塔尼亚胡在2022年前频繁访问莫 斯科，这使普京具备成为地区权力掮客的潜在条件。 法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）上周日批评称："俄罗斯正深陷高强度冲突，且多年 来无视《联合国宪章》，我不认为它能担任调停者。" 一名以色列军方官员周四表示，军方发言人当天早些时候称以色列袭击了布什尔核设施的说法"是个错 误"。这位官员只愿意证实以色列袭击了伊朗的纳坦兹、伊斯法罕和阿拉克核设施。 布什尔核电站靠近海湾 ...

事实上，在以色列和伊朗爆发冲突导致油价在不到一周的时间内飙升8.5%之前，由贝利领导的货币政策委员会就被认为会保持谨慎的基调。 摩根大通资产管理公司（JPMorgan Asset Management）全球市场分析师扎拉•诺克斯（Zara Nokes）表示，英国通胀率仍"高得令人不安"。 她说："中东紧张 局势的升级，以及由此给油价带来的上行压力，只会加剧英国央行对过快放松利率的担忧。" "货币政策委员会在8月份再次开会时将面临更艰难的选择，因为通胀依然居高不下，而且有证据表明，劳动力市场明显在降温。从理论上讲，劳动力市场的 恶化应该会给通胀带来下行压力，但在硬数据中有明确迹象表明这一点之前，英国央行应该小心，不要宣称已经战胜了通胀，尤其是考虑到不确定的地缘政 治气候。"诺克斯说。 英国央行表示，近期全球局势发展未对6月维持利率的决定产生重大影响，且初步员工分析显示，关税冲击对全球GDP的直接影响可能比5月预期的更小。英 国央行行长贝利表示，尽管今天维持利率不变，但利率仍处在逐步下降的路径上。 会议纪要显示，随着就业市场继续宽松，委员会"预计今年剩余时间薪资增长将显著放缓"。英国央行言辞偏鸽，称"劳动力市场出 ...

Group 1 - Russian investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev indicated that Russia, the U.S., and Saudi Arabia could take joint action to stabilize the oil market if necessary, referencing a precedent from 2020 when leaders collaborated to cut production amid a price crash due to the pandemic [1] - The recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East, particularly Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, has led to a surge in oil prices, with market dynamics determining the severity of this increase [1] - The geopolitical risk premium in oil prices is currently estimated at around $10 per barrel, which is considered reasonable given the potential for broader disruptions and reduced Iranian supply [2] Group 2 - Iran, as the third-largest producer in OPEC, extracts approximately 3.3 million barrels of oil daily, with significant concerns about potential disruptions to trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz, where about 19 million barrels of oil and products are transported daily [3] - The U.S. Federal Reserve maintained interest rates but is expected to implement two rate cuts by the end of the year, which could stimulate economic activity and subsequently increase oil demand, although this may also exacerbate inflation [4]

分析师们正努力预测以色列和伊朗不断升级的冲突可能对油价产生的影响。 继上周五以色列对伊朗的军事和核基础设施发动突然袭击后，这两个地区宿敌之间已经展开了五天的螺 旋式升级战。 美国总统特朗普周二要求德黑兰"无条件投降"，并警告华盛顿的耐心正在耗尽。作为回应，伊朗最高领 袖哈梅内伊威胁称，如果美国进行军事干预，将给其带来"无法弥补的损害"。 近几日大幅上涨的油价在周三继续走高。 投资管理公司Clean Energy Transition的创始人Per Lekander形容，在上周以色列袭击伊朗之前，鉴于欧 佩克（OPEC）和非欧佩克产油国供应增长充足而需求疲软，石油市场的状况很"糟糕"。 "我越来越相信，我们正走向像2014年或2020年那样，即油价跌至30-50美元的低价，以压低资本支出并 开启新周期。事实上，当前的冲突使得冲突结束后出现这种结果的可能性更大，因为生产商现在正尽可 能多地生产和进行套期保值，"Lekander在一份报告中说。 能源市场正在权衡美国直接卷入冲突的可能性，以及出现重大供应中断的潜力——特别是最坏的情况， 例如伊朗封锁连接波斯湾与阿曼湾的、具有高度战略意义的霍尔木兹海峡。 石油经纪商P ...

Group 1 - The former chief economist of the Bank of Japan, Seisaku Kameda, indicated that unless there is a dramatic positive turn in U.S. tariff issues, the Bank of Japan may delay interest rate hikes this year [1][2] - The Bank of Japan's May report downgraded inflation expectations, citing uncertainty in U.S. trade policy impacting the export-dependent economy, leading to a forecast of stagnant core inflation [1][2] - Japan's exports fell for the first time in eight years in May, primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs on companies like Toyota, which could further pressure Japan's fragile economic recovery [1] Group 2 - Kameda noted that the lack of progress in trade negotiations and insufficient data to assess tariff impacts means the Bank of Japan is unlikely to make significant adjustments to growth and inflation forecasts in the upcoming report [2] - The Bank of Japan's forecast for core consumer inflation is 2.2% until March 2026, slowing to 1.7% the following year, with the timing of the next interest rate hike dependent on corporate capital expenditure and wage increases [2] - The Bank of Japan maintained its interest rates and decided to slow down the reduction of its balance sheet, reflecting a cautious policy stance due to escalating Middle East conflicts and U.S. tariffs [2]

在特朗普两届总统任期中，他往往在最棘手的国家安全决策前出现"即兴表演"，完全不同于多数总统在 派兵参战前所需的复杂兵棋推演与舆论铺垫。鉴于美国攻击伊朗核设施可能引发的严重后果，特朗普在 镜头前和网络上的模糊独白与模棱两可的评论，显得轻率甚至敷衍。 但这就是他的行事方式——让盟友与对手都捉摸不透。他坚信，"不可预测性"和"波动性"（多数总统在 国家安全危机中极力避免的因素）是他的关键优势。 "可能会，也可能不会"，特朗普在被问及是否会对伊朗动武时如是说。人们不知道他会如何抉择，而事 实上，他自己也未必清楚。 这本身就令人不安，而鉴于华盛顿曾因"震慑"行动后规划不足而陷入泥潭的灾难性历史，如今的做法无 异于铤而走险。特朗普的连环谎言与"焦土式"的领导风格意味着，数百万美国人需要更多的东西来相信 任何发动军事行动的决定，而远不止需要他的一句承诺。 特朗普的计划或许是个谜，但他的算计很简单：是否利用美国独有的掩体爆破能力，加入以色列对伊朗 的袭击，试图摧毁其核计划。这是艰难的抉择，潜在后果包括：伊朗攻击中东美军基地、针对美国目标 的恐怖袭击、伊朗政权崩溃可能引发的全球动荡。 最新动态令人担忧：第三艘美军航母战斗群正驶 ...
