Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The discussion primarily revolves around the **U.S. economy**, **monetary policy**, and the **impact of tariffs** on the dollar's performance in the global market. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Weak Dollar Performance**: The dollar has weakened significantly in the first half of the year, with the dollar index around 98, influenced by a larger downward revision of U.S. economic growth compared to global growth, Trump's tariff policies, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts [2][4][6]. 2. **Economic Growth Projections**: The IMF revised U.S. economic growth forecasts from 2.7% to 1.8%, while global growth was adjusted from 3.3% to 2.8%. This indicates a more significant impact on the U.S. economy compared to the global economy [2][4]. 3. **Tariff Policy Impact**: Trump's tariffs have had a strong and uncertain impact, particularly following the announcement of reciprocal tariffs in April. However, the negative impact on the U.S. economy is expected to diminish in the second half of the year due to new trade agreements [4][5]. 4. **Federal Reserve's Dilemma**: The Fed faces a dual risk of needing to cut rates due to political pressure while inflation levels do not support rapid cuts. The market anticipates two rate cuts in the second half, but the timing remains uncertain [6][7][17]. 5. **Fiscal Pressure and Dollar Weakness**: High deficit rates typically correlate with a weak dollar. The CBO predicts that interest payments as a percentage of GDP will rise, indicating potential future dollar weakness [7][9]. 6. **Tariff Revenue Projections**: U.S. tariff revenue is expected to reach $250 billion in 2025, with a potential increase of $2.5 trillion over the next decade, which may alleviate some fiscal pressures despite the "Big and Beautiful" plan increasing the deficit [9][17]. 7. **Global Fund Allocation Trends**: There has been a shift in global fund allocation, with a reduction in stock holdings and an expansion in bond holdings. The "American exceptionalism" narrative is reversing, but the dollar's status as a reserve currency remains strong [3][11][14]. 8. **Stablecoin Development**: The development of stablecoins is crucial for maintaining the dollar's reserve status in the cryptocurrency space, with the U.S. government taking steps to ensure its dominance [15]. Other Important but Potentially Overlooked Content 1. **Inflation Monitoring**: Attention is needed on structural pressures within the CPI, as rising inflation could complicate the Fed's decision-making regarding rate cuts [6][7]. 2. **Market Sentiment and Future Trends**: The market sentiment may experience a reversal in the second half of the year, with potential fluctuations in the dollar's value as it navigates between 95 and 100 [18]. 3. **Long-term Fiscal Outlook**: While there are concerns about long-term debt and fiscal health, short-term impacts on the dollar are expected to be manageable due to measures taken by the current administration [17].

作者丨孙长忠（清华大学全球私募股权研究院研究员） 编辑丨陆跃玲 美联储将于7月29日至30日召开货币政策例会。目前市场认为这次会议降息概率接近于0，9月 降息概率也不到60%，主要原因是美国6月CPI数据表明，美国关税的通胀效应有所显现，美 联储仍需观察后续影响，且目前美国就业和经济增长情况总体良好，不必急于降息。然而最 近一系列相关进展表明，美国经济金融状况和内外环境正在发生新的变化，美联储决策的重 点和平衡点也将相应发生变化，本月会议可能未必按市场预期行事。 美联储两位理事沃勒和鲍曼6月表示支持7月降息，主席鲍威尔随后在国会听证会上也没有排 除这一可能性，表示对关税向零售价格的传导小于预期持"完全开放"的态度并将影响美联储 的政策，同时也强调预计美国关税将在6到8月间对价格产生显著影响，表示要等待形势更加 清晰明朗再作决定。也有FOMC其他委员表示关税将会使美国通胀上升，应继续维持现行利率 不变，但最新的形势变化也可能使美联储官员调整想法。 美国关税政策不确定性或将减弱。从美国最近与日本和欧盟达成的协议来看，15%关税具有标 志性意义，因为日本和欧盟对美贸易分量更大（欧盟最大），可视为美国的关税要求底线。 ...

Group 1: Federal Reserve Policy Outlook - The Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting on July 29-30 is expected to maintain current interest rates, with a near-zero probability of a rate cut in July and less than 60% for September, primarily due to the recent CPI data indicating the inflation effects of tariffs [1] - Recent comments from Fed officials suggest a potential shift in policy considerations, with some members supporting a rate cut while others advocate for maintaining current rates due to rising inflation concerns from tariffs [1][2] - The uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies is diminishing, as recent agreements with Japan and the EU suggest a potential stabilization of tariff levels, which could reduce the Fed's concerns regarding inflation and influence their decision-making [2] Group 2: Inflation Trends - Current inflation levels in the U.S. are not showing significant increases, with the June CPI data indicating a projected PCE inflation growth of 2.5% year-on-year, and core PCE at 2.7% [3] - Research indicates that excluding tariff impacts, U.S. inflation has been close to the Fed's 2% target, suggesting that the inflationary pressure from tariffs may not be as significant as previously thought [3] - If consumers absorb one-third of the new tariffs, a permanent 10% increase in tariffs could raise PCE inflation by 0.3 percentage points this year, but this effect is expected to dissipate by next year [3] Group 3: Employment and Economic Growth - Recent employment data shows signs of weakness, with only 147,000 new jobs added in June, primarily from government sectors, while private sector job growth appears stagnant [4] - The private sector's employment situation is critical for understanding economic momentum, and recent adjustments suggest that previous job growth figures may have been overestimated [4] - Economic indicators such as retail sales and PMI show stability, but sectors sensitive to interest rates, like manufacturing and real estate, are experiencing contraction, indicating a need for potential rate cuts to stimulate consumer spending [4] Group 4: Market Sentiment and Fed Independence - There is growing concern regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve, especially with external pressures from the Trump administration advocating for rate cuts [5] - A rate cut in July could be perceived as yielding to political pressure, while a refusal to cut rates when appropriate could undermine the Fed's independence [5] - The possibility of postponing a rate cut until September is being considered by some FOMC members, reflecting a cautious approach to monetary policy [5]

The silver follows gold passively, and gold moves in a seesaw relationship with the US dollar [11] Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - The US has reached multiple trade agreements, including with the EU, Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia, and imposed various tariff rates [13][15][16] - According to CME "FedWatch", the probability of the Fed keeping the interest rate unchanged in July is 97.4%, and the probability of a 25 - basis - point cut is 2.6%. In September, the probability of keeping the rate unchanged is 35.9%, the probability of a cumulative 25 - basis - point cut is 62.4%, and the probability of a cumulative 50 - basis - point cut is 1.6% [13] - Trump has repeatedly pressured the Fed to cut interest rates, including threatening to remove Fed Chairman Powell and criticizing the high cost of the Fed's office building renovation [16][17] Chapter 3: Analysis of Important Influencing Factors 3.1 US Economy and Policy - US retail sales in June rebounded strongly, with a 0.6% month - on - month increase, mainly driven by auto sales.

The rise of the US stock market is supported by the resilience of the US economy and is beneficial to silver [24] 3.4 RMB Exchange Rate - The RMB has an appreciation trend, but in the long run, the exchange rate cannot form a continuous trend and thus cannot have a trend - forming impact on precious metals. However, short - term large fluctuations need to be monitored [29] Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - The market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in July is still weak, but there is uncertainty. Pay attention to the subsequent trend of the US dollar index and the possible divergence between gold and silver prices [31]
