Japan has underperformed compared to Europe and China [21]. 6. **Chinese Shareholder Returns**: The trend of increasing shareholder returns has reached China, with a notable rise in dividend payout ratios.

"当收益率上升与经济增长强劲挂钩时，股市尚可消化，"瑞士宝盛股票策略主管马蒂厄·拉赫特指出，"但若由通胀恐惧或财政忧虑驱动利率走高，则往往会 削弱股票估值。" 智通财经APP注意到，在特朗普总统的税改法案以微弱优势通过众议院后，美国长期国债和股指期货重返跌势。 30年期国债收益率逼近5.14%，距离金融危机时期高点仅一步之遥。标普500指数期货下跌0.3%，预示该基准指数可能连续第三日收跌。美元汇率震荡波 动，比特币则继续刷新历史高位。原油价格回落。 美国立法者推进的这项涉及数万亿美元的庞大法案，虽避免了年终增税，却以加重联邦债务负担为代价。 此前穆迪评级下调已将不断膨胀的财政赤字问题推向风口浪尖。这种担忧体现在国债市场上——就在标普500指数反弹至牛市边缘之际，债市情绪再度受 挫。 花旗集团策略师贝娅塔·曼特在接受采访时表示，"债券义警卷土重来，""市场正在担忧债务可持续性。考虑到股市刚刚出现的强劲反弹，这种局面相当不 利。" 周四，10年期美债收益率上升1个基点至4.61%。债市担忧在于，当投资者对美国资产的兴趣减弱时，该税法案将使本已庞大的赤字再增数万亿美元。 策略师马克·克兰菲尔德分析称，法案通过虽不 ...

据美国财政部数据，截至目前，美国联邦政府债务总额已达36.2万亿美元，占GDP比重达124%；2024财年利息支出首次突 破1万亿美元，仅在2025财年上半年就已达5825亿美元，成为第二大支出项。尽管白宫强调"将通过重大法案恢复财政秩 序"，但包括穆迪在内的多方分析认为，美国正陷入赤字长期化、政治失能化的结构性困局。 美东时间周二(20日)，美股大盘指数结束了连续上涨的势头。截至当天收盘，道琼斯工业平均指数比前一交易日下跌114.83 点，收于42677.24点，跌幅为0.27%；标准普尔500种股票指数下跌23.14点，收于5940.46点，跌幅为0.39%；纳斯达克综合 指数下跌72.75点，收于19142.71点，跌幅为0.38%。大型科技股多数下跌，亚马逊、谷歌跌超1%，苹果、英伟达小幅下 跌。 分析认为，市场的剧烈震荡与上周末穆迪发布最新美国评级关联密切，投资者对美国经济前景悲观情绪升温，导致抛售美 元资产的投资者增多。 上周末，穆迪宣布取消美国政府的最高信用评级，将其从Aaa下调至Aa1。这意味着美国自1994年首次获得三大评级机 构"AAA"评级以来，首次在三大评级机构中全部失守最高信用等级。 ...
