首先，贸易保护主义和政策不确定性加剧，美国自2025年初大幅提高对中国产品的关税，平均有效关税 从2024年的2%升至15.4%，为1938年以来最高水平。据经合组织测算，此次美国加征关税及各国反制措 施涉及商品贸易额占全球GDP约2%，超过2018年美对中方首次贸易战时期的影响范围。报告预测，增 长放缓较为显著的包括美国、加拿大和墨西哥等经济体。2025年和2026年，美国经济预计将增长1.6% 和1.5%，较今年3月份预测值分别下调0.6个和0.1个百分点；欧元区经济预计将增长1.0%和1.2%，与3月 份预测值相同。根据"政策不确定性指数"，近期不确定性急剧上升，尤其是在未来贸易政策走向方面， 企业和消费者信心因此下降。金融环境收紧与市场波动持续造成影响，虽然金融市场已部分稳定，但整 体金融条件比2024年底更为紧张，且金融系统对冲击更为敏感，可能触发连锁反应，如非银金融机构被 迫出售资产。另外，公司债务成本特别是低评级债券的利差仍然高企，表明市场对风险资产保持高度警 惕。 其次，投资和消费动力不足弱化复苏动能。商业投资疲弱，由于不确定性上升、融资成本提高以及结构 性问题，如市场集中度上升，企业投资意愿 ...

新华社纽约6月3日电（记者刘亚南）美国白宫3日发布公告，以应对所谓"国家安全威胁"和提高国内钢 铝产业竞争力为由，宣布从4日起将进口自除英国外所有贸易伙伴的钢铝产品关税从目前的25%上调至 50%。 鉴于5月上旬美英达成一项新的贸易协议，美国此次决定英国出口美国的钢铝产品将继续适用25%的税 率。 美国总统特朗普5月30日表示，将自6月4日起把美国进口钢铁和铝的关税从目前的25%上调至50%。 欧盟委员会发言人奥洛夫·吉尔2日重申，欧盟对美方决定深表遗憾。这一决定为全球经济增加了更多不 确定性，提高了大西洋两岸消费者和企业的成本，也破坏了欧盟与美国达成谈判解决方案的努力。 德国工商总会外贸主管福尔克·特赖尔表示，美方这一决定是"对跨大西洋贸易关系的严重打击"。 美国彼得森国际经济研究所高级研究员加里·赫夫鲍尔2日撰文说，特朗普第一任期对进口钢铁征收25% 关税，这些关税"每创造一个钢铁行业就业岗位，就导致下游行业年成本增加65万美元"。 2018年3月，时任美国总统特朗普以威胁美国国家安全为由，对多个国家和地区的钢铁和铝产品加征进 口关税，其中钢铁关税税率为25%，铝产品关税税率为10%。此后迫于国内产业遭冲 ...

根据白宫发布的行政命令，美国对华关税增加125%，加上3月份就开始实施的20%所谓芬太尼问题施加的关税，美国累计对华关税已达145%，堪称疯狂。 中国方面早有准备，先祭出84%的关税反制，然后又宣布将"尊重观众选择"，拟减少美国电影的进口。此举可谓直掐美国命门，此举导致美国电影公司股票 暴跌。而今，中国又宣布了125%的关税反制措施。其实，此时中美之间已经没有贸易的可能性，此后再相互追加关税，已经毫无意义。 当时特朗普的逻辑是，外国的廉价产品大量充斥美国的市场，而美国的工人却得不到工作和收入的保障。正如他的口号"复兴制造业"一样，他要让美国自己 的制造业振兴起来，从而把其他国家的商品"赶出去"。 所以，他鼓励外国公司迁往美国，特朗普曾说过："我希望德国汽车公司成为美国汽车公司。我希望他们在这里建厂。"这样，他可以对外国进入本国的商品 征税，而对本土企业减免税务，不仅赚了外国的关税，还能提升本土制造业的产能。 （二）填补贸易逆差 美国为什么会有巨大的贸易逆差，其实，美国的经济是以第三产业（服务业）为主。因此，他在货物贸易（第一、第二产业方面）中肯定是有贸易逆差的， 而且，贸易逆差主要集中在中国、墨西哥、越南、德 ...
