一、政策传导机制的即时效应 1. 美联储政策预期的博弈 1. 预期差与 "买预期、卖事实" 风险 1. 短期关注政策落地节奏 1. 实际利率下行驱动配置需求 2. 中国央行于 2025 年 5 月 7 日宣布降准 0.5 个百分点、降息 0.1 个百分点，直接压低名义利率34。 若通胀预期稳定（IMF 预测 2025 年全球通胀率 4.3%8），实际利率（名义利率 - 通胀）将进一步 下降。黄金作为零息资产，持有成本降低的优势凸显。例如，2020 年美联储零利率政策下，国际 金价全年涨幅达 25%1，而当前中国降息周期中，实际利率的边际变化可能推动黄金 ETF 持仓增 加，形成价格支撑。流动性宽松与资金分流 3. 本次降准释放约 1 万亿元长期流动性3，部分资金可能流入大宗商品市场。历史数据显示，宽松周 期中黄金表现强劲，如 2008 年金融危机后金价累计上涨超 300%1。当前市场流动性充裕，叠加 地缘风险（如俄乌冲突持续9、中东局势紧张10），避险资金可能加速流入黄金，形成 "流动性驱 动 + 避险需求" 的共振效应。汇率波动与内外盘价差 4. 降息可能加剧人民币贬值压力。2025 年 5 月 7 日美元 ...

目前美国对华综合累计税率已超过100%，今后还有可能会有更多的不确定性。这将不可避免地对中国出口、消费、投资乃至于GDP产生重大冲击。初步估 算，美国对华关税每加征10%，中国出口或下降2%-2.5%，在美国关税未减免的情况下，2025年中国出口有可能下滑8%-10%；2026年出口增速可能进一步 下降15%左右。随着出口受阻，消费和投资领域也将出现连锁效应，对出口、消费、投资的变化如果不加干预，不排除极端情况下2025年中国GDP增速可能 下降1.0-1.5个百分点。同时，股票市场也出现了较大波动。 除了支持政府债券发行之外，一方面需要支持商业银行加大信贷投放，尤其是增加对出口、农业、"卡脖子"等相关行业企业的资金支持。另一方面，还需要 支持政策性银行、商业银行、证券、保险、基金等头部金融机构与大型央企集团、众多上市公司增持金融资产，稳定股市，稳定市场信心。综合来看，市场 存在较大的资金缺口。 2.年内存准率还有进一步下调的空间 存准率变动与国内经济发展需求密切相关，服务于宏观调控的政策目标。随着我国金融市场总体规模逐步扩大，货币政策总量调节的传导链条将更加复杂， 存准率对市场总量的调节难度上升。我国货币政 ...
