这是穆迪下调美国主权信用评级引发连锁反应的最新例证。穆迪上周五取消了美国的最高信用评级，将 其下调一级至Aa1，并指责美国历届政府和国会导致预算赤字不断膨胀，且毫无缓解迹象。 此次降级将波及那些实际上通过提供存款、进行衍生品交易或从银行子公司购买无担保债券向银行放贷 的公司、投资者和消费者。穆迪表示，美国政府至少对这些"大到不能倒"实体的债务提供了一定程度的 支持。 穆迪评级下调了包括美国银行(BAC.US)、摩根大通(JPM.US)在内的一些大型银行的存款评级，理由是 上周五美国信用评级被下调，且美国政府对这些银行的支持能力减弱。 美国银行、摩根大通和富国银行(WFC.US)旗下子公司的长期存款评级被下调一级至Aa2，为穆迪的第 三高评级。穆迪还下调了美国银行和纽约梅隆银行(BK.US)部分子公司的高级无抵押债务评级，从Aa1 下调至Aa2。 此外，穆迪还将美国银行、纽约梅隆银行、摩根大通、道富银行(STT.US)和富国银行部分子公司的长期 交易对手风险评级下调一级，至Aa2。 穆迪分析师表示："美国政府评级的下调表明，其支持这些高评级债务的能力有所下降。" 因此，穆迪移除了银行原评级中因政府支持而设置的" ...

国际金价如坐"过山车"，这是怎么了？ 消息面上，美国发起的贸易战又有升温迹象，黄金作为避险资产已应声上涨。周日，美国财政部长斯科 特・贝森特表示，若各国在90天关税暂停期内未达成贸易协议，关税税率将很快恢复至"对等"水平。贝 森特透露，美国正重点与18个"重要"贸易伙伴敲定协议，但未说明关税恢复"对等"税率的具体速度。 影响国际金价走势的另一个因素是，周末穆迪将美国信用评级下调，增加了市场的担忧情绪。国际信用 评级机构穆迪公司16日宣布，由于美国政府债务及利息支出增加，该机构决定将美国主权信用评级从 Aaa下调至Aa1，同时将其评级展望从"负面"调整为"稳定"。 穆迪当日发布公告说，评级下调反映出过去十多年来美国政府债务和利息支付比例升至显著高于拥有类 似评级国家的水平。穆迪认为，持续的大规模财政赤字将进一步推高政府债务和利息支出负担。与美国 以往以及其他高评级主权国家相比，美国财政状况很可能会恶化。 世界黄金协会发布的数据显示，今年第一季度，全球央行净购入黄金243.7吨，购金力度较上一季度 （365吨）已显著下调。国际投行对于黄金预期也出现了分化。 短短一个月，国际金价从历史高点3500美元/盎司下跌了近 ...

Group 1 - Moody's downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 due to increasing government debt and interest burden, marking the removal of U.S. sovereign debt from the "top-tier credit" category by all three major rating agencies [1] - Following the downgrade, an ETF tracking the S&P 500 fell by 1% in after-hours trading, while the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ.US) dropped by 1.3%, and U.S. Treasury yields rose [1] - The downgrade exacerbates market risks amid President Trump's unpredictable tariff policies, with many Wall Street professionals remaining skeptical about the recent rebound in the S&P 500 index [1] Group 2 - Eric Beiley from Steward Partners indicated that the downgrade serves as a warning signal, suggesting that the U.S. stock market may be nearing its peak [2] - Ivan Feinseth from Tigress Financial Partners noted that the downgrade could negatively impact other sovereign debts, as U.S. debt is considered a benchmark for safety [2] - Dave Mazza from Roundhill Investments mentioned that the market may have already anticipated the downgrade, potentially mitigating its impact compared to the 2011 S&P downgrade [2] Group 3 - Thomas Thornton from Hedge Fund Telemetry expressed concerns about rising bond market rates, which could pose significant risks [2] - Max Gokhman from Franklin Templeton highlighted that the downgrade was not surprising, given the accelerating fiscal plans in Congress and the potential for rising debt servicing costs [2] - Keith Lerner from Truist Advisory Services stated that while the downgrade may not change market dynamics, it provides an excuse for profit-taking and emphasizes the rising deficit concerns [2]

Core Viewpoint - The recent downgrade of the US credit rating by Moody's is expected to have minimal impact on the bond market, similar to the situation in 2011 when S&P downgraded the US rating, which led to significant market turmoil at that time [1][3][9]. Group 1: Historical Context - In August 2011, S&P downgraded the US from AAA to AA+, causing panic in the market, particularly in the bond market, where the 10-year Treasury yield rose by 16 basis points on the downgrade day [2][4]. - The panic in 2011 was driven by concerns that US Treasuries might no longer qualify as eligible collateral due to the downgrade, forcing many institutions to sell off their holdings [2][4]. Group 2: Changes in Market Dynamics - After 2011, contracts were rewritten to classify securities as "government securities," removing specific credit rating requirements, which means that rating changes no longer trigger forced selling or other drastic measures [1][9]. - The downgrade by Fitch in August 2023 to AA+ had almost no effect on the bond market, as the US was already considered a split-rated AA+ country prior to Moody's downgrade [3][4]. Group 3: Market Reactions - Following the 2011 downgrade, despite initial sell-offs, the 10-year Treasury yield fell significantly by 56 basis points within a month, driven by safe-haven demand and expectations of further monetary easing by the Federal Reserve [7]. - The current market environment is different, as the systemic issues that caused turmoil in 2011 are no longer present, leading to a lack of significant impact from the recent downgrade [8][9].
