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]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the growing concerns regarding the U.S. economy, particularly in light of President Trump's criticisms of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his calls for interest rate cuts, suggesting that the U.S. economy is gradually heading towards a downturn [1] Economic Predictions - Citibank has issued a pessimistic forecast, predicting significant economic weakness in the U.S. by June, which may compel the Federal Reserve to initiate its first interest rate cut of the year, potentially leading to as many as five rate cuts [3] - Upcoming reports from S&P Global focusing on the performance of the U.S. service and manufacturing sectors in April will provide critical insights into the economic outlook, especially considering the recent imposition of a 10% tariff on nearly all imports [3] Labor Market and Inflation - Citibank forecasts that the current unemployment rate of 4.2% will continue to rise, with the next unemployment data set to be released in the first week of May, serving as a key indicator of the health of the U.S. labor market [4] - The Federal Reserve faces a challenging situation with inflation slightly above its 2% target, while the tariff policy poses risks of further inflationary pressures amidst economic and labor market recession concerns [4] Monetary Policy Outlook - Citibank's economists believe that the Federal Reserve will prioritize the health of the economy and labor market over strict adherence to inflation targets, suggesting a more dovish stance may emerge as data is released before June [4] - Even with a significant rate cut of 1.25 percentage points, Citibank's economists express skepticism about the ability to fundamentally reverse the economic downturn, predicting the federal funds rate could drop to a range of 3% to 3.25% by the end of 2025 [5] - There is a divergence in expectations between Citibank and Wall Street, with the latter anticipating only three rate cuts this year, lowering the federal funds rate to a range of 3.5% to 3.75% [5] Political and Economic Dynamics - The ongoing conflict between Trump and the Federal Reserve represents a clash between political and economic policies, with Trump advocating for rate cuts to mitigate the economic damage from trade wars, while the Federal Reserve seeks to balance inflation stability and economic growth [5]

"几乎不会出现通货膨胀，但经济可能会放缓，除非'太迟先生'（即鲍威尔）、这个大输家现在就降低利率。"当地时间周一，特朗普在社交平台上写 道。 这已经是欧洲央行降息后，特朗普第三天公开呼吁美联储跟进降息。特朗普此番猛烈炮轰鲍威尔，同时以不降息就会威胁经济发展相要挟，要求美联 储立即降息。 受特朗普言论影响，市场对美联储独立性及经济前景的担忧加剧。 4 月 21 日，美元指数大幅下跌，一度跌破 98 关口，创下 2022 年 3 月以来的 新低。即便是 4 月 22 日，有所回暖，但依旧在 98 左右徘徊。 美股则在经历了＂黑色星期一＂后， 4月22日开盘终于有了小幅回升 ， 道指开盘涨1.1%，标普500涨1.0%，纳指涨1.2% 。 而有避险属性的黄金价格则一路狂飙， 4 月 22 日，现货黄金价格突破 3500 美元 / 盎司，再创历史新高，日内涨幅超 2.2% ，本月以来累计涨幅 更是超过 12% 。 外界普遍认为，特朗普持续要求美联储降息的举动，实质是为可能出现的经济疲软提前撰写 "问责剧本"——一旦美联储未能迅速响应降息，他便会 将贸易战引发的经济疲软归咎于对方。 但特朗普政府自身的经济政策才是美国经 ...

对外，美国总统特朗普肆意挥舞关税大棒，与中国持续对峙的同时，还试图用关税这个虚空筹码逼迫其他国家答应美国的条件。对内，美国的一场"内战"打 得相当火热，特朗普和美联储主席鲍威尔都到了摊牌的时候了。 先说说特朗普为什么一直要美联储降息？美国政府今年将有9.2万亿债务到期，其中有6万多亿美元债务到期，而美债整体规模已经突破36万亿美元。特朗普 上台一直在贸易、关税政策上折腾，其实一个核心目的就是要引爆危机，迫使美联储降息。如果降息利率下降100个基点，年利息支出就能减少4000亿美 元。不仅缓解债务压力，还能缓解关税冲击，以及为其中期选举服务。 那为啥鲍威尔一直不降息呢？鲍威尔说过，过早降息可能加剧通胀失控风险。甚至可能重演1970年代滞胀危机，导致物价失控与经济长期萎靡。美联储现在 陷入加息即摧毁长端资产，降息则放任通胀甚至滞胀的双杀困局。如果降息了，这经济衰退的锅肯定要扣在美联储头上，还不如躺平不动，见死不救。而特 朗普和鲍威尔这场战斗，说实话谁赢了都没用，只有慢性自杀和暴毙的区别，因为美债与美元都出了问题。 这次特朗普如此气愤，大概率是因为鲍威尔最近的表态。鲍威尔说，美国政府的关税政策极有可能导致美国通胀出 ...
