Core Viewpoint - Despite a strong rebound of over 15% in European stock markets since early April, Bank of America believes the market may be overly optimistic in pricing the reduction of future policy uncertainties [1][3]. Group 1: Market Performance - European stock markets have rebounded more than 15% since the low on April 9, recovering from an 18% drop from the historical high in early March [3]. - The rebound is attributed to resilient macro data and expectations of reduced policy uncertainty [1][3].

美联储高官集体泼冷水，"按兵不动"成主流。 当地时间周五，在美联储公布最新利率决议两天后，超过一半的美联储政策制定者公开发表讲话，没有 一位暗示美联储即将降息。 克利夫兰联储主席Beth Hammack在斯坦福大学胡佛研究所的会议上表示： "我通常倾向于采取行动；但在这种情况下，不采取行动可能是平衡进一步上升的通胀和劳 动力市场放缓风险的最佳选择。" Hammack强调，官员们需要更多时间来评估关税和其他政府政策的影响。"当难以获得清晰度时，等待 额外数据将有助于为未来路径提供信息，"她说。她在接受路透社采访时补充说，政策制定者在6月下次 会议前不会有太多新的经济数据。 多位美联储官员强调通胀预期 多位美联储官员，包括美联储理事Adriana Kugler、Lisa Cook以及Hammack和纽约联储主席John Williams，都强调了控制通胀预期的重要性。 Williams特别强调这一主题，称锚定通胀预期是"现代中央银行的基石"。 圣路易斯联储主席Alberto Musalem表示，如果关税对通胀的影响是短暂的，通胀预期保持锚定，且经 济活动明显放缓，降低利率可能是适当的。 "否则，我将专注于确保关税 ...

21世纪经济报道记者赖镇桃 广州报道 票型罕见地分裂成三方，反映出政策制定者的分歧，英国央行行长贝利的发言却释放出些许鹰派信号。 此前市场还预期这次决议声明可能会删除"渐进谨慎"的一贯表述，加快降息节奏，但5月8日的发布会 上，贝利仍然强调货币宽松政策延续"渐进和审慎"的基调不松口。 略偏强硬的表态，打压年内降息预期，掉期市场显示6月份英国央行降息的概率由50%下降到20%左 右，助推英镑、英国国债收益率快速走高。 下次降息时机或再押后 英国央行的降息，早在市场的意料之中。3月份，英国消费者价格指数（CPI）连续第二个月回落，同 比增速从2月的2.8%降至2.6%。 通胀降温提供了成熟的条件，美国滥施关税则是这轮降息的主要动因。据新华社报道，英国央行指出， 美国对全球加征关税以来，全球贸易政策不确定性加剧，金融市场出现波动，这种不确定性和新的关税 措施导致全球经济增长前景变弱。 美国滥施关税对英国经济的冲击已经有所显现。标普日前公布的数据显示，4月英国综合采购经理指数 （PMI）从3月的51.5下跌至48.5，为2023年10月以来首次跌入收缩区间，服务业活动也在连续17个月扩 张后首次跌至荣枯线以下，主要由 ...

英国央行提高了对2025年的GDP增长预期至1%，高于之前的预测值0.75%。与此同时，2026年和2027年 的增长率预计分别为1.25%和1.5%。通胀率预计将在第三季度达到3.5%的峰值，低于先前预测的3.7%， 主要受益于能源价格下降。长期来看，到2027年初，通胀率预计将回归至目标水平2%。 此外，英国央行警告称全球贸易政策的不确定性仍然是影响英国经济的关键因素，尤其是美国关税政策 的变化可能会给英国带来额外的成本和经济活动的冲击。 就在同日，美国总统特朗普宣布美英之间达成一项新的贸易协议，这是自今年4月对英国商品加征新关 税以来首次与受影响国家签订的相关协议。特朗普宣称，该协议"全面且深入"，涵盖大量新增市场准入 机会，并强调英国将取消许多针对美国产品的非关税壁垒。 然而，英国政府对此表现得更为谨慎。唐宁街10号发言人表示，谈判正在加速进行，并承诺首相会适时 提供更新。发言人重申首相斯塔默始终将国家利益置于首位，并视美国为重要的经济和安全盟友。分析 人士认为，鉴于缺乏具体条款说明以及英方的审慎态度，外界对这份协议的法律约束力和执行前景持保 留意见。 新华财经声明：本文内容仅供参考，不构成投资建议。 ...

• 黄金中期仍处上升趋势，受多重因素支撑，包括美国联储降息犹豫、特朗 普政策不确定性及地缘政治风险，短期回调不改多头格局，预计调整幅度 在 3,150-3,200 美元区间形成底部。 • 特朗普政策反复导致市场对美元资产不信任加剧，美元加速下跌，类似 2016-2017 年"买预期卖现实"模式重现，资金持续流入黄金市场。 • 美国政策不确定性指标已达 2020 年高位，表明市场信心受挫，推动资金 涌入黄金等避险资产，政策不确定性直接促进金价上涨。 • 当前美国实际利率水平与 2005-2007 年相似，联邦基金利率超名义 GDP 增速，预示美国经济面临较大衰退风险，历史上类似情况多伴随经济下行。 • 美国经济衰退过程中，黄金价格通常先小幅下跌约 20%，随后大幅上涨约 67%。中国央行持续购金亦构成支撑，建议右侧离场。 • 预计 2025 年美国通胀下行风险大于上行风险，油价和二手车价格是关键 指标，四月 CPI 或降至 2.2%左右，美国更可能进入衰退而非滞胀。 • 地缘政治风险、中美关税谈判及美联储降息幅度影响黄金未来走势。降息 尚未充分进行，ETF 持有量预计增加，未来一到两个月甚至一个季度内， 黄金仍 ...

据外媒报道，周四，美国国债收益率上升，因为交易员削减了对美联储降息的预期，此前美联储主席鲍 威尔表示他不会急于降低借贷成本。对政策较为敏感的两年期国债收益率上升4个基点至3.82%，与10 年期国债收益率的利差缩小至48个基点，接近一个月来的最小水平。鲍威尔今日凌晨表示，美联储需要 对贸易政策的方向有更多确定性才会采取行动。 美联储决策后，国债最初上涨，因为投资者关注政策制定者提到的风险，即贸易相关的不确定性可能导 致滞胀。但周四，市场焦点转向鲍威尔的"观望"信息，即美联储将等待并观察事态如何发展。 瑞穗银行策略师Evelyne Gomez-Liechti表示："我们仍然认为美联储将在一段时间内保持利率不变，至 少要等到有关关税及其对美国经济影响的确定性增加之后。""市场应该继续降低一些降息预期。" 太平洋投资管理公司（Pimco）首席投资官丹·伊瓦辛（Dan Ivascyn）在接受《金融时报》采访时表示， 美国经济衰退的可能性是几年来最高的。该公司在过去两个月小幅增加了美国国债持有量，集中在短期 国债上。 瑞银全球财富管理首席投资官马克·哈费勒（Mark Haefele）表示："在关税不确定性使前景变得不明 ...
