日元汇率下跌，引发市场对日本出手干预以减缓或逆转跌势的担忧。尽管即时干预的可能性不大，但投资者仍需保持高度警惕。 美元兑日元当前汇率已接近近年日本启动干预时的水平，目前徘徊在155附近（许多日本企业将这一水平称为"痛苦阈值"），距离2023年接近 162的纪录高点也已不远。 2022年9月至10月，日本财务省进行了十多年来首次买入日元的干预操作，耗资约600亿美元支撑汇率：先是在美元兑日元突破145后干预，随 后在其逼近152时再次出手。2023年7月，美元兑日元触及近数十年高位（接近162日元），财务省又耗资约360亿美元买入日元。 这是否意味着干预即将到来？未必。主要原因在于施压日元的基本面因素。 日元当前的下跌，部分反映了年中以来美元的企稳，以及近期交易员押注美联储降息态度降温导致的美元升值。 日本国内政策也起到了推波助澜的作用。过去一个月，市场预期日本新政府可能推出规模接近1000亿美元的财政刺激计划，同时日本央行的加 息周期似乎已陷入停滞，这加速了日元贬值。 日本新任首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）周一的表态，让这些动态成为焦点。她勾勒出未来数年允许更灵活支出的计划，实质上淡化了日本对 ...

然而，与Luna几个月前威胁要采取的行动相比，委员会听证会这一步显然要温和得多。 早在9月份，也就是在政府停摆之前，Luna曾设定了一个当月底的最后期限，并声称如果到期没有进 展，她将寻求通过所谓的"强制起草申诉"（discharge petition）来绕过领导层，迫使众议院进行立即的 全体投票。 周二，当被问及委员会听证会可能于何时举行，以及如果法案在委员会层面受阻，"强制起草申诉"是否 仍是一个选项时，Luna的发言人没有回应。 一位关键议员宣布，一旦政府重新开门，众议院将正式审议一项股票交易禁令，但这其中的操作方式， 却为这项禁令何时能（甚至是否能）进入最终投票环节，带来了不确定性。 佛罗里达州众议员Anna Paulina Luna最近发文称："议长约翰逊已经通知我，只要我们一复会，政府一 重新开门，那项禁止内幕交易的法案就将在委员会进行审议修订。" Luna是推动一项旨在禁止所有议员交易股票法案的议员之一，并将此举称为"美国的重大胜利"。 财政部长贝森特表示他赞成这项禁令，而众议院议长迈克·约翰逊的立场是，他个人支持禁令，但不会 将该议题推到国会议程的首要位置。 约翰逊曾表示："我尊重其他人在这个 ...

"美联储传声筒"Nick Timiraos最新撰文指出，在美联储主席鲍威尔近八年的任期内，央行内部一场几 乎没有先例的分歧正在浮现，这给未来的降息之路蒙上了一层阴影。 官员们内部产生了裂痕，争论的焦点在于，究竟是持续的通胀还是疲软的劳动力市场构成了更大的威 胁。即便官方经济数据恢复发布，也未必能弥合这些分歧。 尽管投资者普遍认为美联储在下次会议上降息的可能性仍然较大，但这场内部分裂已经让不到两个月前 还看似可行的计划变得复杂起来。 鹰鸽争辩 当政策制定者们在9月份同意降息25个基点时，19名官员中有10人（勉强过半）预计10月和12月还会继 续降息。连续三次会议降息的节奏，将与鲍威尔去年和2019年的降息步伐相呼应。 但一群鹰派官员对进一步降息的必要性提出了质疑。在10月底官员们再次降息，将利率降至目前的 3.75%至4%区间后，他们的抵制立场变得更加强硬。根据公开评论和近期采访，关于12月该如何行动的 辩论尤为激烈，鹰派人士强力反对此前关于第三次降息的预设。 Timiraos强调，事实上，鲍威尔在那天的记者会上如此直白地反驳市场对再次降息的预期，一个关键原 因正是为了管理这个因似乎无法弥合的分歧而四分五裂的 ...
