关税博弈主导预期走势，特朗普与美联储的矛盾持续激化。 特朗普关税政策转向缓和，不仅对除中国以外国家暂缓关税90天，而且公开表示将在3-4周内与中国达成协 议。美国经济继续处于非典型转冷状态。一方面，居民部门动能大幅衰减，消费活动濒临收缩。另一方面，企 业部门表现依然稳健，与"劳工荒"共同支撑就业市场。特朗普与美联储矛盾持续激化。考虑到就业市场并未显 著转冷，叠加关税引发的再通胀担忧，以鲍威尔为首的多数美联储官员态度继续偏鹰，对降息持高度谨慎态 度。然而，特朗普团队希望美联储大幅降息以减轻财政付息压力，并激活私人投资，将美国经济从政府驱动转 向私人驱动模式，双方因而爆发激烈冲突，特朗普持续炮轰鲍威尔及美联储。 前瞻地看，特朗普解雇鲍威尔的概率极低，"鹰派"将继续主导美联储政策，以理事沃勒为首的少数鸽派亦难掌 握话语权。预计美联储年内将降息2次50bp，以对冲财政退坡及政策不确定性对企业投资的可能冲击。 境外市场在受到特朗普关税政策的巨大冲击后，本周波动略有降低。美债利率小幅回落至4.3%，美元、人民 币窄幅震荡，黄金继续上涨突破3,300美金。 美股本周下跌，主要因美国对中国芯片出口限制及美联储的态度低于预期。 ...
