加拿大近日宣布，若与美国的贸易谈判未能取得突破，将于七月二十一日调整对美国钢铁和铝产品的反制关税。目前，美国对进口钢铝征收百分之五十的关 税，而加拿大则对美国同类产品征收百分之二十五的关税。加拿相关人士表示，新关税的调整幅度将取决于未来一个月内双方的谈判进展，并强调加拿大必 须保护本国工业免受不公平贸易政策的影响。 卡尼在新闻发布会上强调，加拿大不会接受任何不符合其利益的贸易协议。他表示："这是一场谈判，如果符合加拿大的利益，我们就签；如果不符合，我 们就不签。"外界预计，若谈判失败，加拿大可能将反制关税提高至与美国对等的百分之五十水平，进一步加剧双方紧张。 加拿大钢铁行业对反制措施反应不一。加拿大钢铁生产商协会和美国钢铁工人联合会发表联合声明，认为现有计划"未能完全满足行业需求"，但仍愿意合作 制定更有效的支持方案。与此同时，加拿大铝业协会则对平衡策略表示认可，认为新措施既能向美施压，又能避免过度激化矛盾。 市场方面，加拿大钢铁制造商Algoma Steel Group的市值一度因该消息上升百分之七点九，但随后回落。分析人士指出，加拿大的强硬立场可能短期内提振 投资者信心，但长期影响仍取决于美加谈判的最终结 ...

基于以上种种风险因素，Thu Lan Nguyen 做出预测，预计到 2026 年 9 月，欧元兑美元汇率将从目前的 1.1561 升至 1.20。更值得警惕的是，还存在一种极端 风险，即如果投资者信心彻底崩溃，越过临界点，美元的贬值幅度可能远超预期。 Thu Lan Nguyen 指出，美国政策难以出现根本性转变，成为美元贬值的重要推手。特朗普执政期间推行的关税政策，原本旨在保护美国本土产业、重塑贸 易格局，却在实际执行过程中产生了诸多意想不到的负面效应。这些政策不仅引发了全球范围内的贸易摩擦，还打乱了原有的国际贸易秩序。从经济层面来 看，关税的增加使得美国企业进口成本大幅上升，挤压了企业利润空间，阻碍了企业的扩张与创新，进而削弱了美国经济的增长优势。而经济增长优势的弱 化，直接冲击了美元作为避险资产的稳固地位。以往，在全球经济动荡或不确定性增加时，美元凭借美国强大的经济实力与稳定的金融体系，成为投资者避 险的首选货币。但如今，美国经济增长势头受挫，投资者对美元的避险信心逐渐动摇，转而寻求其他更为稳定的避险资产，这无疑加速了美元的贬值进程。 与此同时，美元作为世界储备货币的地位也岌岌可危。长期以来，美元在国 ...
