当前全球金融市场正处于一个关键的转折点，由贸易保护主义抬头所引发的结构性变革，正以前所未有 的速度重塑着经济格局。美国与亚洲经济体之间一系列贸易协议的签署，非但未能为市场带来期盼已久 的稳定，反而将"15%关税"这一概念推升为新的贸易常态，对全球企业的盈利能力和供应链的韧性构成 深远挑战。 这不仅仅是数字上的变化，更是对全球化进程的一次严峻考验，其影响正逐步渗透至股票、外汇、债券 乃至大宗商品等各个金融市场。 从宏观层面来看，这15%的"新零点"关税，意味着企业的运营成本将永久性上升，而利润空间则不可避 免地受到侵蚀。对于高度依赖出口的亚洲经济体而言，这无疑是雪上加霜。 中国制造业采购经理人指数（PMI）的疲软，已清晰地预示着未来出口将面临显著下行压力。尽管部分 企业为规避关税而采取了"抢跑"策略，使得短期数据可能呈现出一定的韧性，但这仅仅是昙花一现，真 正的疲软将在未来数月内显现。 这种外部需求的减弱，预计将首先体现在美国经济数据的走弱上，进而通过贸易渠道传导至全球，对亚 洲出口商构成直接冲击，最终影响全球经济增长前景。 在这样的背景下，各国央行，特别是日本央行（BOJ）和美联储（Fed），正陷入两难的政策 ...

通胀路径明朗化 9月降息窗口仍在 中金公司研究部首席海外策略分析师刘刚等认为，美联储采取行动的条件正在成熟。市场普遍存在一个 误解，即认为美联储必须等到通胀数据明确回落后才能降息。但实际上，只要关税对通胀的影响路径基 本确定，美联储就可以提前行动。 7月按兵不动后，关于美联储是否会在9月降息的辩论，正变得日益激烈。 7月31日，中金公司的两篇研报从不同角度进行了剖析，为市场理解美联储的决策逻辑提供了两种关键 视角。中金宏观经济分析师肖捷文等认为，最新的信号指向美联储倾向于维持耐心，不会因特朗普施压 而降息。 中金首席海外策略分析师刘刚等则指出，市场可能误解了美联储的决策前提。降息并非必须等到通胀回 落，只要关税对通胀的"一次性"影响路径基本确定，美联储就可以行动。随着美国近期与多国达成关税 协定，这一路径正变得愈发清晰，为9月降息保留了可能性。这些观点并非相互矛盾，而是共同勾勒出 美联储在复杂的经济与政治环境下可能采取的行动路径。 通胀风险与政策独立性或使美联储继续按兵不动 中金公司研究部宏观经济分析师肖捷文等则认为，美联储不会因特朗普施压而降息。其核心逻辑基于美 联储近期的表态和其对政策独立性的坚守。 在最 ...
