在经历了三次关税推迟后，UNFX认为下周五（8月1日）很可能迎来第四次推迟。尽管此次情况略有不 同，特朗普总统已开始与主要贸易伙伴正式达成协议，例如日本汽车制造商获得了部分关税豁免，而欧 盟能否达成类似协议是当前的关键问题。 然而，无论是达成协议还是再次延迟，本质上区别不大。这些协议主要是将现有现状正式化，尽管可能 伴随着略高的基准关税。对美国而言，这确保了关税收入的持续流入，同时避免了报复的威胁。而其贸 易伙伴则希望通过消除不断升级的威胁，为企业和消费者提供更稳定的经济环境。 但这种稳定性是否持久仍有待商榷。正如英国所发现的，这些协议仍留下许多悬而未决的问题，尤其是 美国长期威胁的药品关税（对欧盟而言，这占其对美出口的20%）一旦实施，将带来何种影响。 如果这种情况发生，美国贸易伙伴的报复风险无疑会上升，随之而来的是特朗普总统进一步升级关税的 风险。 因此，UNFX的核心观点依然不变：关税不太可能下降，反而很可能会上升。 关税上升的风险是UNFX认为欧洲央行可能在9月再次降息的核心原因之一。尽管欧洲央行行长拉加德 在新闻发布会上并未明确支持这一观点，但通胀和增长的近期风险确实偏向下行，这可能需要额外的宽 松 ...

美日达成关税协议推高通胀预期，日本央行考虑年内重启加息。 周五，据媒体援引知情人士消息，在本周日本与美国就关税问题达成协议后，日本央行（BOJ）内部人士开始重新考虑在年 内再次加息的可能性。 美日就关税问题达成一致。根据协议内容，美国将对包括汽车在内的日本商品统一征收15%关税，低于此前特朗普威胁的 25%税率。 知情人士称，这一结果大大降低了日本企业所面临的外部不确定性，使日本央行有更多空间专注于观察实际经济数据和物价 走势。相比此前可能面临的25%汽车关税与更广泛的同等征税范围，这一结果"在央行预期范围之内"，无需立即调整经济前 景判断。 消息爆出后，美元兑日元短线走低约20点，现报146.95。 在贸易不确定性缓解的背景下，日本央行将根据未来几个月的数据表现，最快在年底前做出是否加息的判断。尽管日本央行 不会在7月31日的下一次政策会议上立即采取行动，但年内加息的窗口已经重新打开。 数据指引路径，年内政策调整可能性提升 目前日本央行仍在密切关注国内通胀趋势。近期通胀表现强于预期，部分归因于食品价格上涨。央行将观察这类上行压力是 否能转化为更广泛、可持续的通胀趋势，从而支撑其2%的通胀目标。 "只要经济和 ...
