凯投宏观:如果特朗普关税政策被否决 财政问题将是投资者的首要担忧
Xin Hua Cai Jing· 2025-11-07 02:54
Core Viewpoint - The recent sell-off of long-term U.S. Treasuries indicates that if Trump's tariff policy is rejected, fiscal issues will become the primary concern for investors due to fears of rising debt levels exacerbating budget deficits [1] Group 1: Market Reactions - The long end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve has shown the most volatility, reflecting concerns about fiscal conditions that are as significant as worries regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate path [1] - Market reactions on Wednesday were more subdued compared to the initial introduction of tariffs earlier this year, as investors anticipate the government may introduce alternative tariffs [1] Group 2: Fiscal Implications - The loss of tariff revenue will reignite concerns over budget deficits, limiting the scale of fiscal stimulus and making it unlikely to fully offset revenue losses [1] - Although the direct impact of tariffs on inflation is limited, a recent slight decrease in inflation swap rates suggests that investors believe the cancellation of tariff policies could still have a dampening effect on inflation [1]
