Group 1 - The current weak dollar period is significantly alleviating the pressure on oil-importing countries despite renewed tensions in the Middle East causing energy price fluctuations [1][3] - Global crude oil prices, priced in dollars, have risen approximately 14% since early last week, but remain about 7% lower year-on-year, indicating that the situation has not reached a "crisis" level [1][3] - The euro has appreciated by 12% against the dollar this year, resulting in a milder impact on Europe, where Brent crude oil prices in euros are down 12% for 2025 and 20% year-on-year [1][3] Group 2 - The depreciation of the dollar provides a crucial buffer for oil-importing countries, mitigating the direct impact of rising oil prices and limiting broader economic repercussions [3][4] - If the dollar continues to weaken, it will effectively reduce the relative impact of energy price volatility on the European economy, potentially supporting its performance compared to the U.S. this year [3][4] - A decline in energy prices alongside a persistently weak dollar may increase pressure on the European Central Bank to lower interest rates to avoid inflation rates falling significantly below the 2% policy target [3][4] Group 3 - The relationship between the dollar and oil prices has become increasingly unstable, as foreign investors reassess their dollar asset allocations due to trade wars and domestic turmoil [4][6] - Traditionally, the dollar has served as a safe-haven asset, but it appears to have lost this status during periods of uncertainty, with the dollar and stocks/bonds moving in tandem downwards in April [6][9] - The causal relationship between oil prices and the dollar has inverted in recent years, with oil price surges leading to aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, followed by a period of easing as oil prices and inflation declined [9][10]

一年一度陆家嘴论坛前夕，橡树资本联合创始人和联席董事长霍华德·马克斯 在 接受 中国基 金报记者 独家采访时表示，债券市场投资者不喜欢关税政策造成的混乱，预计关税政策模糊 性难以消退。他认为，投资者适度降低对美国资产的配置是合理的。 霍华德·马克斯： 因为事态持续变化，所以它不可能完全消化。当我们说市场"已经定 价"时，指的是市场对关税最终结果的定价。但现实是，没有人能够准确预测六个月 以及 两 年后的关税政策。既然如此，市场怎么可能做到完全定价呢？事实上，关税政策刚刚宣布 时，股票和债券市场的反应都非常负面，随后股市却反弹。这是否意味着关税的影响已经被 市场忽略？还是说市场认为这些影响最终会是良性的？我们无法轻易下结论。 中国基金报： 美国股市在所谓的"大解放日"之后反弹。有人认为，这说明"美国例外论"并未 彻底衰落。一方面，美国仍然拥有强大的创新能力 ； 另一方面，它拥有"七巨头"这样盈利能 力极强的公司。你怎么看"美国例外论"？ 霍华德·马克斯： 谈论"美国例外论"彻底衰落可能并不恰当。过去80 年 到100年间，美国在 全球的卓越地位是由多方面因素共同造就的。创新能力是其中之一，还包括自由市场机制、 ...

【导读】霍华德·马克斯：全球投资者应充分理解中国务实的运作方式，信任中国的实践智慧 霍华德·马克斯：这一"警告"来自债券市场，该市场的投资者不喜欢关税政策造成的混乱。商业活动最害怕的就是不确定性，而现在的关税政策却充满了 变数——美国一会儿宣布加征关税，一会儿宣布取消，一会儿暂停，一会儿又恢复，一会儿又降低。政策反复无常，企业难以制定长期计划。进口商品的 成本上升，而企业如果在美国国内建设工厂，它又无法预测四年后的关税政策。四年后，关税会变得更高，还是会降低，抑或会被完全取消？企业家无从 判断。如果无法预判关税的最终水平，那么，任何关于建厂的决策都变得极其困难。这种不确定性是最大的风险。 中国基金报：美国债券市场已经完全消化关税政策的影响了吗？ 霍华德·马克斯：因为事态持续变化，所以它不可能完全消化。当我们说市场"已经定价"时，指的是市场对关税最终结果的定价。但现实是，没有人能够 准确预测六个月以及两年后的关税政策。既然如此，市场怎么可能做到完全定价呢？事实上，关税政策刚刚宣布时，股票和债券市场的反应都非常负面， 随后股市却反弹。这是否意味着关税的影响已经被市场忽略？还是说市场认为这些影响最终会是良性的？我们 ...

特朗普再次当政后，在百日内急风暴雨般出台了多项内政和外交政策。不仅美国的政界和商界震荡不 已，一向被视为"象牙塔"的学术界也受到巨大冲击。很多学者将特朗普的新政批评为"政治干预学术"， 还有人认为这是一个"草台班子"的疯狂行动。然而，从围绕"美国例外论"的长期视角来看，美国当前的 乱局却有着久远的历史根源，不能仅仅解读为特朗普内阁的肆意妄为之举。 "美国例外论"的威权式回归 已故的美国政治学家西蒙·李普塞特曾对"美国例外论"进行了深刻而详尽的对比分析。在他看来，相比 于世界上其他国家（特别是欧洲国家），美国建立在一套独特的价值观念之上，可称为"美国信 条"（the American Creed）。美国信条包括五大要素：自由、平等、个人主义、民粹主义与自由放任的 经济模式。信条中的"自由"是指那种不受政府干预的消极自由；"平等"并不是指当代左翼主张的结果平 等，而是强调个人机会与尊严的平等。 进入现代社会后，欧洲的封建体制虽然分崩离析，但重视社会等级的文化特征仍然留存下来，欧洲人因 而具有鲜明的阶级意识。李普塞特指出，欧洲各国的左右翼政党为了解决中下阶层的社会问题，都乐于 采取福利制度、公共住房和医疗保障等国家 ...

摩根士丹利分析师周四在一份报告中表示，他们认为股市正在形成"新的'牛市论'"。 这一观点源于"过去30天内对'对等关税'的几乎完全逆转以及与中国贸易紧张局势的成功缓和"所带来的 市场反弹。 该银行表示，这一复苏使风险市场完全收复了"解放日"后回调的失地，年初至今的回报率现已转为"正 值"。 此外，还有"认为通胀风险被高估；低油价是有利因素；美联储将很快开始降息"，"相信前期加载的企 业减税"将推动"资本支出和生产力繁荣"，以及"生成式人工智能仍处于早期阶段"的信念。 摩根士丹利指出，"预计标普500指数2026年盈利增长将从2025年的7-8%加速至13-14%"。 然而，他们也警告说，股票估值的复苏已将远期市盈率推高至"21.5倍以上"，而"股权风险溢价仅为6个 基点"。 据称，风险包括"全球收益率曲线"陡峭化和美国预算赤字扩大，摩根士丹利认为这可能是"美国例外论 的不利因素"。 作者：Investing 摩根士丹利指出，标普500指数目前约为6,000点，较2月19日的历史最高点仅低约2.3%，而纳斯达克指 数"已从低点反弹超过25%"。 该银行写道，市场波动性（以VIX衡量）"已大幅下降，读数现已低于其 ...
