Zhong Guo Xin Wen Wang· 2025-07-17 09:44
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. tariff policy under the Trump administration may lead to stagflation, impacting the economy negatively and increasing uncertainty for American consumers [1][2]. Group 1: Economic Impact - The volatile tariff agenda, along with immigration policies and rising national debt, has increased market volatility [2]. - Some analysts warn that the U.S. economy may be heading towards stagflation, characterized by slow growth and high inflation [2]. - A report from Apollo Global Management highlights that higher tariffs could lead to stagflationary shocks, increasing the likelihood of economic slowdown while putting upward pressure on prices [2].

“大而美”法案,真的美吗?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-11 23:05
Core Viewpoint - The "Big and Beautiful" bill signed by President Trump is a significant piece of legislation that could alter the economic landscape of the United States for the next decade, raising questions about whether it will lead to greatness or decline [1] Tax Cuts and Welfare Reductions - The bill continues the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, locking corporate tax rates at 21% and increasing various personal tax exemptions, benefiting high-income groups significantly [2] - Research from Yale indicates that the top 1% of earners will receive 45% of the tax cuts, while the bottom 20% will see a 2.3% decrease in after-tax income, highlighting a "robbing the poor to pay the rich" scenario [2] - The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the bill will increase the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion over the next decade, despite claims that economic growth will offset this deficit [2] Impact on Social Welfare - The bill proposes significant cuts to social welfare programs, potentially resulting in 12 million people losing health insurance and 40 million facing reductions in food assistance, affecting vulnerable populations including children, the elderly, and the disabled [3] - The attempt to boost employment through mandatory work requirements for welfare recipients may not address the real issue of skilled labor shortages in the manufacturing sector [3] Federal Reserve's Role - Political pressure on the Federal Reserve, including calls for interest rate cuts and leadership changes, poses risks to the independence of the central bank, which could lead to stagflation [3] - The potential for a new Fed chair to yield to political pressures could undermine the credibility of the dollar [3] Political Implications - The "Big and Beautiful" bill appears to be a product of political maneuvering, with wealthy individuals benefiting at the expense of the poor, leading to increased debt and reduced welfare [4] - The upcoming midterm elections are viewed as a referendum on this bill, which could determine the future political landscape for the Republican Party [4]
对话野村全球宏观研究主管苏博文:特朗普加征关税不只为减少贸易逆差,美国经济滞胀压力将很快显现
Mei Ri Jing Ji Xin Wen· 2025-07-11 07:22
Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles revolves around President Trump's new round of tariffs and the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill, which raises concerns about inflation, economic direction, and global trade dynamics [1][2][10] - Trump's plan to impose a 15% or 20% uniform tariff on nearly all trade partners is expected to create significant uncertainty in the global economy [2][8] - The "Big and Beautiful" bill is projected to increase the U.S. budget deficit by over $3 trillion in the next decade, averaging an increase of $340 billion per year [10][11] Group 2 - The recent tariff increases are not solely aimed at reducing trade deficits but also involve broader geopolitical considerations, as seen in the case of Brazil where a 50% tariff is imposed despite a trade surplus [3][4][5] - The tariffs are primarily directed at smaller emerging market economies, many of which do not have significant trade surpluses with the U.S. [5] - The potential for retaliatory tariffs from other countries could harm U.S. export businesses, leading to a decline in exports and further impacting economic growth and employment [8][9] Group 3 - The inflationary pressures in the U.S. are expected to rise, with the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) predicted to increase from 2.8% to 3.3% by mid-2025 [9] - The U.S. GDP growth rate is forecasted to slow to 1.3% this year, influenced by reduced consumer spending due to inflation [9][10] - The Federal Reserve may delay interest rate cuts until December, with anticipated cuts being smaller than market expectations due to ongoing inflation concerns [10][12]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - In the context of global trade pattern reshaping and geopolitical evolution, the trade protectionism and tariff policies of the United States have led to increased economic and fiscal pressures in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the EU, and the sovereign credit risks of these regions have generally risen [3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 United States - **Economic Risk**: Trade protectionism restrains the US economic outlook, and the inflation expectation caused by tariffs may limit the Fed's interest - rate cut, increasing the "stagflation" risk. The US economic growth rate is expected to slow to below 2% from 2025 - 2026 [3][5]. - **Policy Uncertainty**: The Trump administration's policies reduce the predictability of the US government's policy path, and political polarization intensifies, affecting policy continuity [3][6]. - **Fiscal Sustainability**: The US government's debt level and cost are rising. The tariff policy's effect on alleviating fiscal pressure is doubtful. The fiscal deficit rate is expected to remain above 7% in the medium - term, and the government debt - to - GDP ratio may rise above 110%. The debt interest burden is expected to rise to over 12% of fiscal revenue in 2025 [3][8]. - **Impact on Global System**: The US tariff policy weakens the credit of US dollar assets and may accelerate the evolution of the global governance system towards a more multi - polar and regionalized direction [8]. 3.2 Canada - **Economic Downturn**: Canada's high dependence on US exports makes it sensitive to external shocks. Its GDP growth expectation in 2025 is lowered to below 1%, and steel, aluminum, and energy product tariffs directly impact its exports and manufacturing [3][9]. - **Fiscal Pressure**: The combination of economic slowdown and high - interest rates increases the difficulty of debt management. The interest expenditure is expected to account for about 8.5% of federal fiscal revenue in 2025, and the fiscal deficit may expand [9]. 3.3 Mexico - **Economic Recession Pressure**: Tariff shocks increase the risk of economic recession. The IMF has significantly lowered Mexico's 2025 economic growth forecast to - 0.3%. The manufacturing PMI has fallen below the boom - bust line, and inflation has risen [3][12]. - **Fiscal Challenges**: The fiscal deficit rate will remain at about 5% in 2025. The financial problems of Pemex and the contraction of exports may exacerbate fiscal sustainability risks [12]. - **Sovereign Credit Reassessment**: Mexico's sovereign credit needs to be re - evaluated, and its future depends on achieving re - balance in institutional stability, foreign trade substitution, and fiscal balance [13]. 3.4 EU - **Economic Challenges**: The eurozone economy faces slow growth and inflation. The GDP growth rate in 2025 is only 0.9%, and 1.2% in 2026. The US tariff policy may further weaken its growth power and competitiveness [16]. - **Fiscal Pressure**: EU countries' fiscal pressure is expanding. Defense spending will increase in the medium - to - long - term, and debt will accumulate further. Italy and France's debt - to - GDP ratios are expected to exceed the 2012 levels [19]. - **External Repayment Pressure**: The EU faces dual pressures of monetary policy and financing costs. Rising bond yields increase the government's refinancing cost, and the limited interest - rate cut space may increase the debt - servicing pressure of high - debt countries [20]. - **Governance Changes**: The deepening of tariff policies and geopolitical games accelerates the transformation of the European governance model. The increase in strategic autonomy and the differentiation of member states' geopolitical choices will lead to different sovereign credit risks [21].

However, gold failed to break through $3350 per ounce, indicating a lack of strong upward momentum [4][7] - In the Middle East situation, Trump's claim of victory over Iran and the uncertain damage to Iranian uranium - enrichment facilities, along with market caution, suppressed gold prices [7] - US economic data on the 26th night showed stagflation in Q1, with unexpected manufacturing demand and a robust labor market in Q2.

大争势起:迎接更加不确定的下半场
Dong Zheng Qi Huo· 2025-06-25 07:11
Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the US dollar is "Bearish" [7] Core Views - In the second half of 2025, the stagflation pressure in the US will rise significantly, and the Fed will release liquidity to balance the economy, leading to a weaker US dollar with an expected weakening center around 95 [5][95] - The market volatility in the second half of the year will be significantly higher than that in the first half, so holding safe - haven assets is recommended [5][96] Summary by Directory 1. United States: Severe Economic Pressure and Worsening Treasury Bond Issues 1.1 Labor Market: Structural Resilience Persists, but Medium - term Weakness is Inevitable - In H1 2025, the US labor market's resilience exceeded expectations, with a high - level new employment center, slowing wage growth, and a low unemployment rate [17] - The labor market shows insensitivity to the economic cycle, and in the future, it may enter an "atypical recession" with a linear decline in employment and a possible sudden acceleration of weakness [19] - The Phillips curve may flatten in H2 due to inflation, and the labor market may resist inflation, increasing fluctuations [21][23] 1.2 The Prospect of US Economic Stagflation is Becoming More Apparent - The current decline in US inflation data is a reflection of past economic fundamentals. The potential pressure of reciprocal tariffs will push up inflation expectations, and the long - term inflation pressure will be significant [26] - The US economy's downward pressure is increasing, with the deterioration of the household sector's cash - flow and the long - standing problem of credit tightening [28][30] - The pressure of stagflation is shifting from expectation to reality. The end of the inventory - replenishment phase in the corporate sector and the intensification of reciprocal tariffs will exacerbate stagflation [36][37] 1.3 US Dollar: A Clearly Weakening Currency in H2 - In H1 2025, the market accepted the weak - dollar cycle as the high - growth of the US economy, the basis of the strong - dollar cycle, no longer exists [40] - The US Treasury bond issue will become more prominent in H2. The solution to the deficit problem requires liquidity injection, which will lead to a weaker US dollar [44][46] 2. Eurozone and Japan 2.1 Eurozone: Marginal Improvement in Economic Fundamentals - In 2025, the Eurozone's real GDP growth rebounded, inflation continued to decline, and the manufacturing industry recovered faster than the service industry, driving up the debt levels of residents and enterprises [48][57] - The EU's "Re - arming Europe Plan" with 800 billion euros in spending has changed the economic structure of the Eurozone, increasing manufacturing capacity [57] - The ECB will continue to cut interest rates, and fiscal policy will also be strengthened. The euro's appreciation trend will be enhanced [66] 2.2 Japan: Persistent Appreciation Trend - Japan's economic fundamentals have improved, with consumption driving GDP growth. However, there is a divergence between strong consumption and relatively weak industrial production [69][75] - From a fundamental perspective, the yen has a basis for appreciation, but a strong yen will bring challenges to foreign trade and liquidity. The Bank of Japan needs to make a choice on interest - rate policy [85][86] - Considering the US - Japan trade negotiation and market expectations, the yen is likely to appreciate, but the speed of appreciation needs to be controlled [86] 3. Global Macro: Embracing a More Uncertain Second Half - Trump's policies in 2025 have broken the strong - dollar cycle, and the de - globalization narrative has emerged, with the US Treasury bond issue coming to the fore [87] - The extreme and inconsistent policies are due to populism, which exposes the fragility of the US economy and leads to stagflation [87] - Geopolitical risks will rise in H2, which will have a short - term positive impact on the US dollar but a long - term negative impact. The US dollar will continue to weaken [91][92] 4. Investment Recommendations 4.1 The Weak - dollar Trend is Obvious - In H2 2025, the US stagflation pressure will rise, and the Fed will release liquidity, leading to a weaker US dollar with a center around 95 [5][95] 4.2 Continued Recommendation of Safe - haven Assets - In H2, market contradictions and conflicts will accelerate, increasing volatility. Holding safe - haven assets is recommended [5][96]
