最尴尬的当属刚表完态的美国。原本想借这事强化在亚太的存在感，结果成了日本谎言的"陪葬品"。更让美国头疼的是，日本首相高市早苗这时候急着要见 特朗普，想拉美国给自己撑腰。可美国现在自身都难保，根本没心思替日本收拾烂摊子。 高市早苗政府这段时间的麻烦本就不少。之前她在国会上公然发表涉台错误言论，暗示"台湾有事"日本会进入战争体制，被日本学界痛批是"军国主义复 活"。12月8日，日本民间团体"继承和发展村山谈话会"特意开记者会，联名要求她撤回言论，不然只会让中日关系更紧张。这次炒作"雷达照射"，很大程度 上是想转移国内对涉台言论的批评焦点。 日本炒作中国军机"雷达照射"闹得沸沸扬扬，美国刚站出来给日本站台，转头就被中方甩出的录音证据抽了脸。这场由日方挑起的外交闹剧，反倒让美国看 清了现实，也让中方等到了澄清立场的最佳时机。 日本敢这么跳，核心是想抱美国大腿，但现在的美国早就没了以前的底气。12月4日白宫发布的新版《国家安全战略》里，美国直白承认"永久主导世界"不 现实，宣布要从全球战略收缩，把资源集中起来对付中国。所谓的"战略收缩"，说白了就是承认自己管不过来，只能弃车保帅。欧洲盟友都快被美国当 成"战略负担"抛弃 ...

12月8日，海关总署发布的数据显示，以美元计价，11月，我国出口额同比增长5.9%，比10月加快7.0个 百分点，超出市场预期；进口额同比增长1.9%，增速比10月加快0.9个百分点。 11月出口继续呈现"东方不亮西方亮"特征。东方金诚数据显示，11月中国对美国出口同比下降28.6%， 降幅较上月扩大3.4个百分点；但中国对发达经济体中的欧盟、日本、韩国出口同比分别增长14.8%、 4.3%、1.9%，增速分别较上月大幅加快13.9个、10.0个、15.0个百分点。 数据显示，当月集成电路和汽车出口额分别同比增长34.2%和53.0%，增速分别较上月加快18.9个和7.2 个百分点。"以上两类商品出口加快，是11月机电产品和高技术产品出口较快增长的主要原因，这有效 抵消了当月箱包、玩具、服装等传统劳动密集型商品出口下滑带来的影响。"冯琳表示，预计短期内芯 片及汽车出口有望继续保持高增势头。 另外，数据显示，11月我国对"一带一路"共建经济体整体出口同比增长10.5%，增速较上月加快7.8个百 分点。冯琳认为，这主要是在上年同期基数走低下，当月对非洲、拉丁美洲出口增速显著加快带动的结 果。 总体上看，冯琳表示： ...

海关总署12月8日发布的数据显示，2025年前11个月，我国货物贸易进出口总值41.21万亿元人民币，同 比(下同)增长3.6%。其中，出口24.46万亿元，增长6.2%；进口16.75万亿元，增长0.2%。11月份，我国 货物贸易增速回升，进出口总值3.9万亿元，增长4.1%。其中，出口2.35万亿元，增长5.7%；进口1.55万 亿元，增长1.7%。 总体上看，面对外部环境剧烈波动，今年我国出口保持很强韧性。王青分析认为，这背后是我国出口以 民营企业为主，经营灵活性和抗压能力突出。在美国市场大幅下滑后，贸易转移效应持续升级，我国对 欧盟、共建"一带一路"国家和地区出口增速显著加快。其中，以美元计价，前11个月，对共建"一带一 路"国家和地区累计出口增速达10.5%，明显高于5.4%的整体出口增速。 值得关注的是，机电产品和高新技术产品继续扮演中国出口"压舱石"的角色。广开首席产研院资深研究 员刘涛分析认为，11月份机电产品出口规模为2058.97亿美元，增长9.65%，在全部中国商品出口金额中 的比重高达62.3%。此外，按高新技术产品口径归类，11月份出口规模超过880.7亿美元，增长7.68%， 占比 ...

2025.12. 08 本文字数：2652，阅读时长大约4分钟 上海财经大学公共政策与治理研究院首席专家杨畅对第一财经表示，和上个月同比下降1.1%相比， 11月出口同比增速回升7.0个百分点，旺季并不淡。正因为11月出口金额环比上行，叠加上年高基数 平稳，带动了同比增速回升。 东方金诚宏观研究发展部执行总监冯琳认为，11月出口同比增速超预期反弹，主要原因包括去年同 期基数下移，当月全球贸易整体回升，以及在全球AI投资热潮和国内制造业转型升级带动下，11月 芯片、汽车出口增速显著加快等。 她提出，2024年11月出口同比增长6.6%，增速较前月大幅下行6.0个百分点，环比增速也明显弱于 季节性。这意味着去年11月出口基数下移，直接推高了今年11月的出口同比增速。其次，8月美国对 欧盟、越南等经济体上调关税落地后，当前全球贸易正在经历一个剧烈震荡过程。其中，10月全球 贸易增速显著下行，11月出现反弹。纵观全球，作为全球贸易的风向标，11月韩国出口同比增长 8.4%，增速较上月加快4.8个百分点；中国作为全球头号商品贸易大国，11月全球贸易反弹也会带动 自身出口增速走高。 另外，国内制造业转型升级叠加全球AI投 ...

Group 1: Gold Market - Last Friday, spot gold exhibited a typical high-to-low trend, soaring to around $4260 before quickly declining, closing at $4196.03, below the $4200 mark. Currently, gold is slightly up, hovering around $4206 during European trading hours [1] Group 2: U.S. Stock Market - Last week, all three major U.S. stock indices closed higher, with the Dow Jones up 0.5%, the S&P 500 up 0.31%, and the Nasdaq up 0.91%. The market opened December with a sense of "long-lost optimism," but this week is seen as a critical turning point [2] Group 3: Federal Reserve Meeting - The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision meeting is scheduled for December 9-10, with results to be announced at 3:00 AM Beijing time on December 11, 2025 [5] - The FOMC is expected to lower the overnight interest rate range by 25 basis points to 3.50%-3.75%. However, the market's direction will be influenced more by the decision statement, dot plot, and Powell's remarks [6] Group 4: Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - This meeting may see an unusual number of dissenting votes, revealing internal divisions within the Fed. Powell is likely to provide a "hawkish rate cut," signaling caution and conditionality, which will determine whether the market trends "steadily higher" or experiences "volatility and uncertainty" in the coming months [8] - There is skepticism about whether the market will still heed Powell's guidance, especially with Trump's hints at a potential successor for the Fed chair position. The anticipated rate cut may not resolve uncertainty but rather initiate a new wave of volatility [8][10] Group 5: Monetary Policy Actions - The real "big move" from the Fed may not be the rate cut but rather the "reopening of the liquidity spigot" through the RMP, starting in January 2026, with plans to purchase $45 billion in short-term Treasury bonds monthly, at least until June next year. This aims to replenish liquidity in the system [10] - The market's reaction to the rate cut itself may be limited, with the true stimulus coming from RMP and term repo operations to stabilize year-end liquidity [12] Group 6: International Affairs - The U.S. has announced a significant shift in its national security strategy, focusing on military presence in the Western Hemisphere to address immigration and drug trafficking, marking a departure from the long-standing "pivot to Asia" approach [13][14] - In Brazil, the political landscape has shifted unexpectedly, with Flávio Bolsonaro announcing his candidacy for the 2026 presidential election, supported by his father, which has led to a reduction in market bets on a more market-friendly candidate [15]

Core Viewpoint - China's exports to the US continued to decline in November, with a significant increase in the rate of decline, while exports to Europe surged, indicating a shift in trade dynamics due to tariffs and economic fluctuations [1][4]. Export Performance - In November, China's exports showed a year-on-year increase of 5.9%, rebounding by 7 percentage points compared to a 1.1% decline in the previous month [2]. - The increase in exports was attributed to a lower base from the previous year, a global trade recovery, and significant growth in exports of chips and automobiles, which rose by 34.2% and 53.0% respectively [3][2].

Overall Trade Resilience - Despite external economic pressures, China's export sector demonstrated resilience, primarily due to the flexibility of private enterprises and a shift towards markets outside the US [7]. - The export growth to "Belt and Road" economies accounted for over half of China's total exports, with a cumulative growth rate of 10.5% in the first eleven months of the year [7]. Future Outlook - The export growth rate is expected to slow down in December, potentially approaching zero, influenced by high base effects and global trade fluctuations [7][8]. - Domestic policies aimed at boosting internal demand may provide some support for import growth, although overall import momentum is anticipated to weaken [9].
