和谈超预期是事实，这从本周A股、美股的上涨，A债、黄金的下跌中，可见一斑。 伙伴们，大家好，这周前面四天没更新，大家催更的私信等，就不一一回复了，感谢大家的惦念 ，借用一图，略表此刻的心情。 本公众号会继续为大家，每日用大白话解读一下金融市场的时事，尽可能剥开底层的逻辑，这些 初心都不会变。 ...... 这周，从中美贸易和谈超预期开始，又有周三银行股一度飙涨的戏码，显然算是很刺激的一周， 我积 累了一些想聊且有意义的话题 ，正好趁今天，把本周的重要事件，总结为8条，和大家简单展开一下。 1、短期来看，中美和谈超预期，但到今天为止，对利好交易的差不多了。 高血压的那边 ，虽然4月的CPI和PPI数据，都没有显示通胀进一步走高的态势，但是市场普遍判断，是 因为此前的库存发挥了作用，而昨晚 沃尔玛 发布最新一季财报后，也明确表示，这个月就要开始提 价，即使是30%的关税，也很可能导致部分商品，有两位数以上的涨价——以沃尔玛在美国的零售市场 占比看，这是一个很明确的微观信号。 另外， 鲍师傅 昨天也出来表示，货币政策的框架可能会优化，说的很绕，其实我总结一下就是，后续 多看少动，即使通胀起来了，也不会阶段性打压，表 ...

21世纪经济报道记者张欣 北京报道 低利率时代，中国上市银行正面临显著的经营挑战。 近日，安永发布《中国上市银行 2024 年回顾及未来展望》报告，以"低利率时代的高质量发展之路"为 主题，对58家上市银行展开深度剖析。这58家银行总资产和净利润分别占全国商业银行的83%和 96%， 其经营动态与发展策略，成为洞察中国银行业的重要风向标。 报告显示，上市银行平均净息差已连续五年下滑，2024 年更是跌至1.52%，盈利空间不断压缩。在宏观 环境不确定性加剧、国际经济震荡、国内需求不足等多重压力下，银行机构积极以"加减法"破局：做 "加法"，通过拓展非息收入、补充资本实力、深耕科技金融等 "五篇大文章" 挖掘新增长点；做 "减 法"，在压降负债成本、严控运营费用、强化风险管理等方面精准施策，谋求突围之道。 上市银行净息差持续探底，五年降至1.52% 安永大中华区金融服务首席合伙人忻怡指出，2024年中国上市银行面临更加严峻复杂的经营环境。银行 业进入低利率低息差周期，同时面临宏观环境不确定性加大，国际主要经济体增长动能减弱，地缘政策 冲突持续，贸易冲突和金融市场波动加剧，国内有效需求不足，经济回稳向好基础不稳定 ...

近期，部分中小银行出现存款利率倒挂现象——1年期存款利率（2%）高于5年期存款利率（1.95%）。 类似的情况年初也曾发生在招商银行身上。这一现象并非偶然，而是市场对未来利率走势的预期反应。 结合全球经验（如美国国债利率倒挂预示降息）和中国经济现状，这一现象可能预示着中国未来几年利 率将持续下行，甚至2%的平均利率水平可能成为新常态。那么，利率倒挂背后反映了怎样的经济逻 辑？中国是否正在步入长期低利率时代？负通胀风险是否已经显现？ 为何长期利率低于短期？ 利率倒挂通常被视为经济放缓甚至衰退的前兆。在正常情况下，长期存款利率应高于短期利率，因为银 行需要支付更高的回报以吸引储户锁定资金。然而，当市场普遍预期未来利率会下降时，银行会主动降 低长期存款利率，以避免未来因市场利率下行而被迫支付更高的固定利息成本。 美国国债市场曾多次出现类似情况。例如，2023年美国2年期国债收益率一度高于10年期国债收益率， 市场普遍解读为美联储即将降息。而这一预期在2024年得到验证——美联储因通胀放缓和经济疲软开始 降息。同理，中国中小银行的利率倒挂可能意味着市场认为未来几年央行将继续降息，因此银行不愿在 高利率环境下锁定长期负 ...
