Report Summary 1. Core View - In H2 2025, there are three "gray rhino events" in the United States: the U.S. fiscal policy will focus on spending cuts after the implementation of the Big Beautiful Act; the backlash risk of TACO is increasing due to Trump's more "pragmatic and radical" approach to foreign tariffs and international relations; the difference in the attitude towards interest rate cuts between the new and old Federal Reserve chairmen may cause chaos, and the shadow Fed chairman may gain "market dominance" [2][5]. 2. Summary by Section Fiscal Policy - More Focus on Spending Cuts - After the implementation of the Big Beautiful Act, the new fiscal increment in the United States is limited, and future fiscal spending will be more inclined to make cuts. The demand for fiscal contraction will become more urgent, and the U.S. may enter a stage of spending - cut atmosphere, including exploring new spending - cut spaces and more "effective and pre - emptive" actions [8]. - Trump does not use the OBBB Act as a political tool in SNAP welfare cuts, being more radical in traditional red states and swing states with higher political costs. The "legacy" of DOGE 1.0, such as the U.S. State Department's lay - off plan and asset disposal of federal agency buildings, is still having an impact. The OBBB Act is more about "tax cuts" rather than direct "transfer payments", and its stimulus effect will be further discounted if the economy weakens [8][11]. International Relations - Increased TACO Backlash Risk - After the OBBB Act was passed in Congress on July 4th, Trump will turn to issues related to the U.S.'s long - term international competitiveness, such as tariffs and military protection fees. He will be more "radical and pragmatic" in foreign relations, and every non - U.S. economy needs to re - evaluate its negotiation chips. Hard power, such as China's advantage in the supply of strategic resources like rare earths and metal minerals, is more important, while the bargaining power of soft power is declining [16]. - The TACO backlash risk is increasing, with more "Liberation Days", more frequent "TACO" events, and greater market volatility. Trump's actions in international affairs may be restricted by the political views of other countries' voters, and the U.S. political system may also become an obstacle for him. The fragility of TACO should be emphasized [16][18]. Monetary Policy - Conflict between New and Old Fed Chairmen - As Powell will step down as Fed chairman in May 2026, if he also resigns as a governor, at least four out of seven Fed governors may support Trump's monetary policy stance. The difference in the statements of the new and old Fed chairmen on monetary policy will be magnified, and the impact on the U.S. may be more severe than Liberation Day 1.0, potentially leading to a stock - bond - exchange triple - kill and spill - over effects [19]. - The Fed's decisions are difficult to be decoupled from politics, especially the interest rate cut decision. The new and old Fed chairmen have different stances. After the debt ceiling is resolved, the TGA account needs to be replenished with about $500 billion through short - term debt issuance, which will increase the demand for Fed interest rate cuts. The short - term interest rate cut path is complex, and in the medium term, fiscal dominance based on Trump's will may become a regular disturbance [19][21][25].
