如果你不愿接受越来越低的利息，就不得不从"吃利息"转 向"做配置"，学习看待市场波动、理解产品条款，明确自己愿 意为多高的收益，承担多少风险与不确定性。这才是"高息定 存退潮"带来的真实压力测试。 作者： 欧阳晓红 封图：图虫创意 这场关于财富再定价的压力测试，来得有点猝不及防。很多宏观政策，最后都会落到具体的小事 上，比如你的存款到期转存，利息变少了。 当外界仍在讨论财政端的贴息与货币端的宽松时，银行体系内部正悄然发生一场更贴近普通人感受 的变化：一批曾在高利率时期锁定的定期存款陆续到期，到期转存时却只能接受更低的利率。 因此，银行更倾向于逐步减少高息长期存款产品，转向成本更低、期限更灵活的负债来源；同时推 出一些收益看似更高、但附带条件的结构性产品。 过去几年，不少人将资金存入利率约3%的大额存单或高息定存，以求安稳省心。如今，这批存款 逐渐到期，摆在面前的现实是：同样的本金，同样期限再存一次，利息可能只有1.5%左右，甚至 更低。下一步怎么办？是继续接受更低利息，还是去找别的出路？ 我们先简单算一笔账。假设有一大批到期存款，规模是50万亿元（市场测算不一）。利率从过去 大约3%变成现在大约1.5%，差了 ...
