2025.07. 17 本文字数：2020，阅读时长大约4分钟 作者 | 第一财经 冯迪凡 美国总统特朗普对美联储主席鲍威尔的持续施压再次引发市场动荡，并引发人们对未来会发生什么的 各种猜测。 可以肯定的是，若成真，此举在美国历史上尚属首次，可能会引发具有里程碑意义的诉讼，该诉讼将 牵动白宫和华尔街。 当地时间16日，有报道称特朗普预计将很快对鲍威尔采取行动，后者因未听从其降低利率的呼吁而 成为特朗普的攻击目标。 不过，特朗普对这些报道予以反驳，称鲍威尔的解职"极不可能，除非他因'欺诈'而不得不离开"。 此言暗指美联储总部翻新工程的成本超支问题。特朗普及其盟友一直将此作为解雇鲍威尔的依据之 一。 根据《联邦储备法》第10条，美联储理事会成员可以"因故"被解职。 而成本超支是否构成此类不当行为，将是法院需要裁决的新问题。 英国杜伦大学法学院副院长、跨国法教授兼全球政策研究所联合主任杜明教授对第一财经记者表示， 所谓"因故"这类条款的设立，主要目的是保护美联储职位的独立性，不能行政部门看美联储官员不 满意就能任意解雇，而"因故"可以届时由法院再从严解释，例如滥用职权或贪赃枉法等。 届时，本着"谁主张，谁举证原则" ...

Core Viewpoint - The rising U.S. Treasury yields over the past three years have increased the pressure of cross-border capital outflows from China, impacting the foreign exchange, bond, and stock markets to varying degrees, with the foreign exchange market facing the most pressure. However, the overall impact is manageable due to the limited scale of foreign investment in domestic financial assets [2]. Group 1: U.S. Treasury Market Dynamics - The U.S. Treasury market's status as a global safe asset is supported by the U.S.'s economic and military dominance, the dollar's status as a global currency, and the market's depth and liquidity. While these factors are unlikely to change fundamentally in the short term, variables such as deteriorating fiscal sustainability and geopolitical conflicts are increasing market instability [2][4]. - The demand side for U.S. Treasury investments is influenced by economic growth, inflation expectations, monetary policy, geopolitical factors, and globalization. Financial institutions' trading behaviors can amplify demand fluctuations [6]. Group 2: Supply Side Factors - The supply of U.S. Treasuries is determined by fiscal deficits and existing debt levels, with economic growth, demographics, income inequality, and interest payments affecting the fiscal deficit. Economic slowdowns can reduce fiscal revenues, while an aging population increases social security and healthcare spending burdens [7]. - Historical analysis of U.S. Treasury yields shows distinct phases: - 1965-1982: High inflation phase with yields peaking at 15.8% due to economic growth and oil crises [7]. - 1983-2007: A period of low yields driven by moderate economic growth and increased foreign investment [7]. - 2008-2021: A low growth and low inflation phase where yields fell to historic lows due to quantitative easing and demographic changes [7].

有关美国总统特朗普即将解雇美联储主席鲍威尔的消息在7月16日引发市场剧烈波动：长期美债收益率 和通胀预期飙升，股市和美元大幅下跌。随后，特朗普迅速表示自己"极不可能"试图罢免鲍威尔，仍认 为鲍威尔的政策宽松步伐不够快，市场部分回稳。 当前市场普遍认为，特朗普未必会真正落实现有的关税或人事威胁，因此5%的收益率门槛仍具有一定 支撑，尤其是因为短期通胀预期仍处于相对温和水平。虽然5月份两年期盈亏平衡通胀率曾升至约 3.4%，但随着几份通胀数据表现尚可，该指标已回落至2.7%左右。 然而，如果特朗普确实在美联储或贸易方面采取激进行动，通胀预期将被推高，整个收益率曲线也将随 之上移。此外，长期利率对通胀不确定性的反应最为敏感，曲线倾向进一步变陡。不过，若鲍威尔真的 被撤职，引发的市场波动可能更偏向利率下行的风险。 分析师认为，特朗普正在试探罢免鲍威尔的可能性。市场的剧烈反应似乎让他暂时收回了相关言论，但 白宫与美联储之间进一步升级冲突的风险正在上升。 媒体报道，到目前为止，5%的收益率水平一直充当着30年期美债的上限。但如果特朗普真的付诸行 动，解雇美联储主席鲍威尔，或是如近期相关信函中所暗示的那样，对贸易伙伴征收更 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent fluctuations in gold prices are significantly influenced by market uncertainties surrounding the Federal Reserve's independence and potential changes in monetary policy due to political pressures [1][2][3]. Market Influences - Gold prices experienced dramatic volatility, initially dropping to $3,319.58 per ounce before surging to a three-week high of $3,377.17 due to market reactions to news about President Trump's potential dismissal of Fed Chair Powell [1][2]. - The market's reaction to Trump's denial of the dismissal plan indicates heightened concerns over the Fed's independence, which is crucial for maintaining the credibility of the U.S. financial system [1][2]. Economic Indicators - Recent economic data, including a decrease in the Producer Price Index (PPI), has reduced inflationary pressures and bolstered expectations for interest rate cuts, which could support gold prices [2]. - The market is closely monitoring upcoming economic indicators such as initial jobless claims and retail sales, with expectations that most data will be unfavorable for gold prices, suggesting potential for price corrections [2][3]. Technical Analysis - Gold is currently trading within a defined range of $3,375 to $3,320, indicating a lack of strong directional movement. A breakout above or below this range could lead to further price movements towards $3,400 or $3,285, respectively [3][5]. - The technical indicators suggest a preference for long positions in the current market environment, with key support levels identified at $3,320 and resistance at $3,375 [5][6]. Trading Strategies - Suggested trading strategies include short positions near $3,365 to $3,370 with a target of $3,350 to $3,340, and long positions near $3,325 to $3,330 with a target of $3,345 to $3,355 [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For domestic assets, there are mainly structural opportunities, with the policy - driven logic being strengthened. The probability of incremental domestic policies being implemented in the fourth quarter is higher. Attention should be paid to the impact of the "anti - involution" policy on the supply - side on assets. Overseas, attention should be paid to tariff frictions and geopolitical risks. In the long term, the weak - dollar pattern continues, and volatility jumps should be guarded against. Strategic allocation of resources such as gold should be maintained [6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Macro Essentials Overseas Macro - The "reciprocal tariff" rates of the United States for most economies have been announced. Except for Japan and Malaysia, most rates have been lowered, and short - term tariff uncertainty has declined.

Domestic Macro - In June, China's export volume increased slightly year - on - year to 5.8%, CPI increased by 0.1% year - on - year, and PPI decreased by 3.6% year - on - year.

The Central Financial and Economic Commission's sixth meeting on July 1 proposed to regulate the low - price and disorderly competition of enterprises and promote the orderly withdrawal of backward production capacity. Commodities oriented to domestic demand and those that have been falling since the beginning of the year were greatly affected by the "anti - involution" policy [6]. 3.2 Viewpoint Highlights Macro - Domestically, there will be moderate reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts, and the fiscal end will implement established policies in the short term. Overseas, the inflation expectation structure has flattened, the economic growth expectation has improved, and stagflation trading has cooled down [7].

Steel products, iron ore, coke, coking coal, silicon iron, manganese silicon, glass, and soda ash all show a volatile trend [7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials - There is a game between reciprocal tariff and domestic policy stimulus expectations. Non - ferrous metals stop falling and rebound. Copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, stainless steel, tin, and other metals show different volatile trends [7]. Energy and Chemicals - OPEC+ has increased production more than expected, and crude oil will drag down the energy and chemical sector to fluctuate weakly.

Core Viewpoint - The current fluctuations in gold prices are influenced by geopolitical tensions and U.S. trade policies, particularly tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which are expected to provide support for gold as a safe-haven asset [1][3]. Group 1: Gold Market Dynamics - Gold prices are currently trading around $3,330 per ounce, showing slight increases due to safe-haven demand amid tariff announcements from Trump [1]. - Despite a recent rise in the U.S. dollar index, which reached a high of 98.70, the market interprets this as a technical adjustment rather than a long-term trend shift, suggesting potential for gold price recovery [1][3]. - The uncertainty surrounding tariff policies is likely to support gold prices, as market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic despite short-term price fluctuations [3]. Group 2: Economic Indicators and Federal Reserve Policy - Market expectations indicate a potential interest rate cut of about 44 basis points by the end of the year, with a decrease in the probability of a September rate cut from 80% to 53% [4]. - Fed Chairman Powell's cautious stance on inflation suggests that the Fed may remain vigilant regarding interest rate adjustments, which could impact gold prices [4]. - The upcoming Producer Price Index (PPI) data is critical, as it may confirm inflation pressures and influence market expectations regarding interest rate cuts [4][5]. Group 3: Investment Outlook - The gold market presents both challenges and opportunities, with short-term price movements expected to remain within the $3,300 to $3,400 range [5]. - Long-term factors such as geopolitical risks, inflation expectations, and a trend towards looser monetary policy could provide upward momentum for gold prices [5][6]. - Investors are advised to closely monitor PPI data and developments in U.S. tariff policies, as well as trends in the dollar and bond yields, to identify investment opportunities in the gold market [6].
