智通财经APP获悉，前欧洲央行行长特里谢在接受采访时直言，美国总统特朗普对美联储的持续抨击， 可能对全球金融体系造成"严重后果"，这种做法正在动摇发达经济体近50年来形成的央行独立性共识。 特里谢还指出，美国在财政与政治层面的"高度脆弱性"正在加剧。他提到，美国长期存在的两党共识 是"不断扩大支出"，这令投资者对为财政赤字和高企的债务占GDP比重融资愈发警惕。 "美国的情况在某种程度上也反映了全球经济的现状。"特里谢说，"无论是公共还是私人部门，当前债 务占GDP的比例，都高于雷曼兄弟倒闭前的水平。市场在面对这些风险时显得过于平静。" 他警告称，如果美联储被迫成为总统的"最听话仆人"，将对全球经济和金融稳定造成"极其破坏性的影 响"。"我们正处在全球经济高度脆弱的阶段，这也是为何美国行政部门与美联储关系被破坏令人极度担 忧。" 与此同时，花旗集团(C.US)也在最新报告中指出，民粹主义政府对央行独立性的冲击风险可能从美国向 外蔓延。随着英国国债和欧洲政府债券的加权平均期限不断缩短，投资者对30年期等长期债券兴趣下 降，各国债务的利息成本对政策利率变动愈发敏感。 花旗认为，这可能在未来加大民粹主义政府向央行施压 ...
