Core Viewpoint - The fiscal revenue and expenditure in the second half of the year will face pressure, but the probability of additional deficits is low.

至于财政赤字，虽然未来几年约7%的赤字预测感到忧虑，但这约7%的赤字可分为国债利息支出与约财 政支出约各半。随着美联储可能展开减息行动，利息支出将下降，赤字规模亦将缩小，从而减轻债市对 债务与GDP比率的担忧。关注美国经济是否转弱反而更重要，因财政空间已大幅缩小，政府的财政支援 将远不如以往危机时期。 Rick Patel称，受惠于美国国内的财富结构，美国国债未来需求仍具韧性。美国家庭的股票配置比例远 高于全球其他地区，表示美国投资者仍有大量空间可转向固定收益资产。若美国家庭将1%的资产转向 固定收益，便足以支撑未来2至3年的国债发行。 富达国际基金经理Rick Patel表示，近期市场波动、地缘政治、贸易消息等使部分投资者质疑美国国债 的避险地位。尽管穆迪近期下调美国信贷评级、美国财政赤字规模庞大，以及海外投资者对美国国债需 求等疑虑，这些担忧似乎被过度放大。Rick Patel称，穆迪强调美国从经济规模、韧性与活力，以及美 元作为全球储备货币的角色来看，美国仍具卓越的信贷优势。美国市场的规模、流动性与强度无可比拟 及无法取代，预期美国国债与信用资产仍将是全球投资者的重要配置。 ...
