美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰（Stephen Miran）周一解释了他为何认为美联储应该更积极地降低利率。他再 次辩称，美联储的政策立场对经济过于限制，并指出他对通胀持乐观态度，同时称劳动力市场存在预警 信号。 米兰表示，剔除这些因素后，他估计"潜在通胀率低于2.3%，与我们的目标值基本一致。如果由于2022 年的供需失衡或统计测量过程中的误差，不必要地维持紧缩政策，最终将会导致就业岗位减少。" "经验表明，劳动力市场恶化可能迅速且非线性地发生，并且难以逆转，"他说道。"部分原因是货币政 策存在几个季度的滞后性，因此，正如我一直倡导的那样，加快宽松政策的步伐将使我们更接近中性立 场。" 米兰对美联储上周降息25个基点的决定持反对意见，他更倾向于降息50个基点。自今年9月休假离任特 朗普总统高级顾问一职、加入美联储以来，这已是他第三次投出反对票。 在上周的会议上，米兰的两位同事持反对意见，认为根本不应该降息，因为通胀最近没有朝着美联储的 目标迈进，许多美联储官员将此归咎于他们认为与特朗普政府进口关税有关的商品价格上涨。 米兰表示，目前高于目标水平的通胀并未反映出潜在的供需动态，而这些动态正在推动通胀使其更接近 美联储 ...

今年新兴市场货币整体表现不俗：摩根士丹利资本国际新兴市场货币指数7月创下历史新高，年内涨幅已超6%，有望迎来2017年以来的最佳 年度成绩。接受路透社采访的交易员、基金经理和分析师大多预计，这一良好态势在明年也将延续。 MSCI新兴市场货币指数上涨 匈牙利福林向来是小众的新兴市场货币，但自美国总统特朗普今年1月就职以来，其交易量已增长超一倍。在特朗普宣布全面的"解放日"进口 关税政策后，交易员对这一货币的关注度更是持续攀升。 在日均交易量近10万亿美元的全球外汇市场中，交易员、策略师及对冲基金均表示，此番交易量增长绝非短期偶然现象。 今年以来，匈牙利福林兑美元汇率已升值约20%，有望创下近25年来的最佳年度表现，同时跻身2025年表现最佳的新兴市场货币之列。 此次新兴市场货币走强，源于美元波动加剧且持续走软。这一态势促使投资者重新考量自身的美元资产敞口，且开始质疑长期以来对美元走 向与地位的固有认知。与此同时，投资者在推进资产配置多元化、减少对美国资产依赖的过程中，押注南非、匈牙利等多个发展中国家的货 币价值将进一步提升。 摩根大通新兴市场固定收益策略研究主管乔尼·古尔登（Jonny Goulden）称："我 ...

Logan和佛罗里达大学战略研究教授Andrew Michta表示，无论如何，乌克兰加入北约在很长一段时间内 都不切实际。Michta称，目前乌克兰加入北约是一个"伪命题"。 Logan指出，各国还有其他方式来尝试确保乌克兰的安全。Logan表示，针对泽连斯基的提议，美国总 统特朗普可能会承诺继续做美国已经在做的事情来支持乌克兰，比如运送武器和制裁俄罗斯。 在与美国特使就潜在的俄乌冲突和平协议进行的谈判中，乌克兰总统泽连斯基上周日提出放弃乌克兰加 入北约的意愿。泽连斯基曾表示，由美国、欧洲和其他国家提供安全保障以取代加入北约，是乌克兰做 出的一项妥协。 卡托研究所（Cato Institute）国防与外交政策研究主任Justin Logan表示："这根本无济于事，只是一种试 图表现得合情合理的姿态。" AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 音频由扣子空间生成 "这是一种手段，旨在将乌克兰为和平做出重大让步的意愿，与莫斯科方面缺乏任何重大让步形成鲜明 对比，"Bruen说。"问题在于，泽连斯基放弃了对乌克兰人民的一个相当铁定的承诺，他以此换回了什 么？" Bruen推测，特朗普可能承诺巡逻乌克兰领空或对飞机的入 ...
