美国第一季度GDP意外陷入萎缩，美国经济衰退风险激增。美国金融交易和预测市场平台Kalshi目前预 期今年美国经济衰退的概率为74%。 ...

智通财经APP获悉，全球范围的经济学家们当前正在密切关注将于周五发布的美国4月非农就业数据报告，一些经济学家警告称美国劳动力市场可能因特朗 普政府掀起的关税战役而出现剧烈动荡，进而使得金融市场对于美联储将在6月份开启今年首次降息的概率大幅增长。特朗普关税政策点燃的新一轮全球贸 易战，令美国乃至全球经济增长前景愈发暗淡。经济学家们普遍预计，美国总统特朗普发动的全球贸易战将抬高全球价格、削弱消费者支出，进而有可能 在今年和明年大幅冲击劳动力市场，最终将美国经济推入衰退。 克利夫兰联储主席哈马克近日表示，如果到6月经济数据能提供明确方向，美联储可能在6月采取行动。货币政策立场长期偏向鹰派的美联储理事沃勒近日 立场持续转向鸽派，多次强调如果特朗普政府实施的高额关税措施迫使美国企业更大规模裁员，届时他将支持降息，以保护美国劳动力市场。 虽然特朗普政府在"解放日"之后不久因美国股债汇三市持续暴跌而宣布对部分最严厉的"对等关税"实施了长达90天的暂缓期限，在此期间对于除中国以外 绝大多数国家的基准关税均调整至10%，但据彭博经济研究团队的预测，美国的"有效关税税率"目前接近23%——为一个多世纪以来的最高水平。这已经对 美 ...

本周金融市场将迎来繁重的数据发布，包括美国第一季度GDP初值、美国4月就业报告、日本央行利率 决议以及欧元区初步通胀和GDP数据等多项重磅经济指标。 首先要留意的是美元走势，因为美国财政部长贝森特称，与其他经济体的贸易紧张关係有可能缓和，并 补充说若与其他经济体达成贸易协议，关税将大幅降低，这一点也得到了特朗普的证实。此外，美国总 统不再进一步攻击美联储主席鲍威尔，这减轻了对美联储降息的压力，从而可能使其对美元发挥支持作 用。 从期货市场表现看，交易员普遍预期美联储在5月7、8日的议息会议上将按兵不动，但同时也在为年底 前叁次降息做定价。然而，美联储政策制定者似乎对大规模降息持怀疑态度，克利夫兰联储主席哈马克 建议保持耐心，同时评估美国关税对经济的影响。 美联储今年尚有6次议息会议，包括5月8日、6月19日、7月31日、9月18日、10月30日、12月11日，市场 人士认为，美联储最快于6月19日降息25基点。 宏观经济方面，市场特别关注本周叁将发布的美国第一季度GDP初值，预计增速将明显放缓。如果此数 据重新引发市场对美国经济可能陷入衰退的担忧，可能会令美元下跌；而增速可能加快则或缓解市场担 忧并支持美元。 ...

尽管近期美国经济数据表现尚可，但是高盛警告不要过早放松警惕，美国经济真正的负面冲击可能在5- 6月才会显现。从较长期的角度来看，美元结构性贬值将成为大趋势。 4月27日，高盛分析师Rikin Shah在最新研报中称，目前美国硬数据仍然坚挺，劳动力市场也没有显示迫 在眉睫的危险信号，加上潜在的关税协议可能给市场带来缓解。但市场还远未脱离险境，因为关税政策 给美国经济带来的负面影响，可能要到5月中旬或6月初才会更加明显地显现。高盛给出的理由如下： 美国消费者的提前采购可能会提振3月和部分4月的消费支出数据，这一现象已经开始显现。 同时，疲软招聘比大规模裁员更可能成为就业市场的关键变量，这意味着失业救济申请数据 可能不如往常那样具有指示意义。 报告指出，政策不确定性高企，消费者和企业信心处于低点，高盛仍然认为美国在未来12个月内陷入衰 退的概率为45%。 高盛还认为，考虑到关税的广泛性和单边性，美国企业和消费者将成为价格的接受者，如果供应链或消 费支出短期内相对缺乏弹性，美元还会贬值。 不确定性极高 关税影响挥之不去 高盛认为，目前正处于一个非常困难的时期，不确定性极高：1、不知道关税谈判的最终结果；2、不知 道关 ...

近期，据美国《纽约时报》援引一位知情人士的话说，赫格塞思在一个包括他的妻子、兄弟和私人律师在内的信息群中分享了3月美军计划袭 击也门胡塞武装的细节，这个群聊称作"防务团队会"，且同样使用了"信号"应用。 特朗普（资料图） 虽然特朗普认为，他随时能让鲍威尔走人，但实际上，只要鲍威尔不主动递交辞呈，特朗普暂时还真没辙。用鲍威尔的话说就是，特朗普没有 将他免职的权力。有很多美国专家认为，如果特朗普真的做到了将鲍威尔免职，美国市场就会出现震动。可以肯定的是，美联储不会对特朗普 认怂。接下来，鲍威尔将与特朗普展开一场漫长的较量，两人都不会轻易认怂，但无论如何，最终赢家只有一个，结果不是特朗普对美联储让 步，就是鲍威尔对白宫妥协。 日前，特朗普在其个人社交平台"真相媒体"上公开发文，用三个词痛骂美联储主席鲍威尔："又一个、典型的、完全的'混乱'"。两天后，白宫 传出风声：特朗普团队正研究如何解雇鲍威尔。这场白宫与美联储的公开决裂，撕开了美国经济政策溃烂的伤疤。 特朗普（资料图） 别看鲍威尔表面上八风不动，22号当天芝加哥联储主席古尔斯比在芝加哥大学演讲时，特意把1987年格林斯潘刚上任就碰上股灾的案例拿出来 讲。这故事华 ...

Core Viewpoint - Multiple U.S. states have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration's tariff policies, claiming they are illegal and that the president lacks the authority to impose such tariffs [1][4]. Group 1: Legal Actions - Eleven states, including New York and California, have initiated lawsuits in the U.S. International Trade Court to block the implementation of new tariffs [1]. - New York Attorney General Letitia James stated that the president does not have the power to arbitrarily raise taxes, which is a central argument in the lawsuits [1]. - California's Governor Gavin Newsom has also filed a lawsuit, marking the first state-level challenge against Trump's tariff policies [4]. Group 2: Economic Impact - The trade conflicts initiated by the Trump administration have led to a decline in consumer confidence, rising inflation expectations, and a significant risk of economic stagnation or recession in the U.S. [4][5]. - Michigan University's data shows that U.S. consumers' inflation expectations for the next year have risen to 6.7%, the highest level since 1981 [5]. - The Atlanta Federal Reserve's model indicates that the U.S. GDP is projected to shrink by 2.2% in the first quarter of the year [5].

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the U.S. economy, inflation, tariffs, and the implications for the stock market and government debt. Core Points and Arguments 1. **Low Probability of Inflation Due to Tariffs**: The likelihood of a second wave of inflation in the U.S. due to tariffs is low, as imported goods account for only 16% of consumer spending, and goods only represent 25% of the core CPI, with services dominating at 75% [1][17][13]. 2. **Economic Recession Concerns**: The potential for a "deep" recession is linked to private sector leverage during prosperous times, rather than tariffs. Current government debt expansion does not indicate a private sector crisis [1][31]. 3. **Trump's Focus on Bond Yields**: Trump's actions suggest a concern for U.S. Treasury yields rather than stock market performance, especially following a significant rise in bond yields [1][35]. 4. **Historical Context of Tariffs and Inflation**: Historical analysis indicates that high tariffs in the 1930s did not lead to inflation, as consumer income did not rise correspondingly, leading to a reduction in other spending [5][7]. 5. **Impact of Globalization**: The slowing of globalization since 2018 has diminished the U.S. economy's influence on the global economy, leading to a weaker dollar and underperformance of U.S. stocks compared to other markets [2][52][56]. 6. **Service Consumption Impact**: Rising commodity prices primarily affect service consumption, as consumers may cut back on services when faced with higher prices for goods [58]. 7. **Debt Dynamics**: The current trajectory of U.S. government net interest payments is increasing at a rate faster than in the 1980s, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability [39][38]. 8. **Future Corporate Debt Maturities**: A significant amount of corporate debt is set to mature starting in 2025, which could impact market dynamics [42]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Consumer Spending Dynamics**: The rigid nature of consumer spending on goods means that even if tariffs increase prices, overall consumption may not rise significantly due to income constraints [13][5]. 2. **Historical Precedents of Economic Downturns**: The analysis of past economic downturns shows that significant declines in the S&P 500 often correlate with private sector leverage and government debt dynamics [29][31]. 3. **Global Economic Interdependence**: The increasing reliance of economies on domestic fiscal measures rather than global trade could lead to greater divergence among nations [60]. 4. **Comparison with Japan's Economic History**: The historical performance of Japan's stock market during its economic challenges offers insights into potential future trends for the U.S. market [63][64].

花旗集团首席经济学家Nathan Sheets周二表示，由于美国经济受到特朗普对贸易伙伴征关税的影响，美 国经济衰退的概率在40%至45%之间。Nathan Sheets预计，受消费者在关税生效前抢购商品的推动，美 国第二季度GDP将实现增长，但预计关税对美国经济增长的最大影响将在今年下半年显现。 在特朗普本月初宣布对进口商品大规模加征关税所谓"对等关税"后，美股反应激烈。标普500指数本月 以来已跌近6%，年初至今更是累跌约15%。尽管此后的关税政策变化和美国与其他经济体的谈判迹象 帮助缓解了投资者的担忧，并推动美股出现反弹，但Pimco坚持认为，美国经济衰退的风险仍然很高， 主要是由于供应链紧张。 Pimco表示，鉴于几十年来的工业衰退，美国不太可能迅速取代失去的中国制造业产出。该公司在近期 的一份投资者报告中表示："我们认为，美国经济衰退的可能性仍然很高，接近于抛硬币，这取决于美 国供应链是否能够相当迅速地从中国转向其他生产来源，而这一过程不会是无缝衔接的。"该公司警告 称，除非企业能够有效地实现生产多样化，否则特朗普政府关税措施引发的混乱可能继续严重拖累经济 增长。 除了Pimco之外，近期还有其他市 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the US dollar is entering a prolonged downtrend, with foreign investors reassessing the risk-reward profile of dollar-denominated assets as US Treasury and stock prices decline [1][2] - Kamakshya Trivedi believes that the dollar will continue to weaken, with the trend expected to deepen, particularly against the euro and potentially the yen [2] - Trivedi highlights that the risk of recession in the US is exceptionally high, leading foreign investors to reevaluate the prospects of US assets, including stocks [2][3] Group 2 - The recent surge in gold prices, reaching an inflation-adjusted historical high of over $3,500 per ounce, indicates a shift away from dollar assets towards safer investments [3][5] - Central bank demand for gold is rising, suggesting a desire to diversify away from dollar assets, with Goldman Sachs raising its year-end gold price forecast to $3,700 per ounce due to stronger-than-expected demand [5][6] - If central bank purchases average 100 tons per month, gold prices could reach $3,810 per ounce by the end of 2025, with potential ETF inflows pushing prices even higher [6]
