长期停摆前夕，美股跌、美债涨 花旗的研究通过复盘历史上的10次政府停摆事件发现， 停摆时间的长短是决定资产表现的关键。 报告将持续时间少于五天的归为"短期事件"（6次），超过五天的归为"长期事件"（4次）。 美国联邦政府时隔近七年再度"停摆"，金融市场迎接新的不确定性。 据知名预测市场Polymarket的数据，近70%的用户认为政府关门结束的时点最早也要到10月10日，更是有41%的用户认为至少持续到10月下旬。 据追风交易台消息，花旗分析师Vinh Vo及其团队在其最新研报中指出， 停摆时间的长短是决定资产表现的关键，而市场目前对此次停摆的定价可能过于乐 观， 忽视了长期僵局可能带来的显著冲击。 历史数据显示， 长期停摆将引发股票与债券走势的明显分化，并推升市场波动性，在此类情景下，黄金和白银等贵金属是比美元更可靠的避险工具。 报告还指出，此次停摆的一个新变量是，特朗普政府已指示各机构考虑永久性裁员，这可能比以往仅让政府雇员休假并事后补发薪水的做法带来更具破坏性的 经济影响，尽管具体细节尚不明确。 尽管政府停摆带来了种种不确定性，但花旗认为，这一事件不太可能逆转当前美股和美债的整体势头。报告称， 围绕人工 ...
