Core Viewpoint - Thailand's economic recovery faces unexpected disruptions, with GDP growth forecasted to slow down to 1.8% in 2025, down from previous expectations of 2.5% for 2024, due to multiple adverse factors impacting the economic outlook [2][9]. Macroeconomic Overview - Thailand's real GDP is projected to grow by 2.5% in 2024, up from 2.0% in 2023, driven by a 5.4% increase in goods exports, a 26.3% rise in international tourist arrivals, and a 4.4% growth in private consumption [8][9]. - The IMF has revised Thailand's GDP growth forecast for 2025 down to 1.8%, highlighting the challenges posed by external factors such as U.S. tariffs and domestic political instability [9][10]. Policy Regulation - The Thai government has introduced an economic stimulus plan exceeding 500 billion THB (approximately 15 billion USD) to counteract slowing growth, focusing on consumption stimulation and investment [3][21]. - The Bank of Thailand has lowered the policy interest rate from 2.25% to 1.75% to enhance market liquidity, with additional measures including debt relief programs and digital wallet initiatives aimed at supporting indebted households [3][21].

Capital Markets - The Thai stock market (SET Index) has fallen by 14.5% year-to-date, reaching a five-year low, driven by global market volatility and domestic economic challenges [6][46]. - Recommendations for investment strategies include diversifying into high-dividend blue-chip stocks, tourism-related sectors, and utilities, as well as taking advantage of potential stock buyback programs [6][47].

欧洲央行管委维勒鲁瓦:特朗普政策恐推高美国通胀 或于夏季再度降息
智通财经网· 2025-05-14 00:10
值得注意的是,维勒鲁瓦特别强调贸易政策对欧元区的影响路径。他指出,特朗普任内若实施关税措 施,虽可能通过贸易渠道对欧洲经济产生外溢效应,但直接输入性通胀风险有限。这一判断成为欧洲央 行区别于美联储的关键政策考量——当前市场普遍预期美联储因国内通胀韧性将维持高利率,而欧洲央 行则具备更大宽松空间。 作为欧元区货币政策的实际制定者之一,维勒鲁瓦的表态折射出决策层的核心逻辑:在确保通胀的前提 下,利用当前物价稳定窗口期,通过降息缓冲全球经济放缓对欧元区经济的冲击。这一政策取向若在6 月会议兑现,将是欧洲央行连续第八次调整利率,进一步巩固其全球主要央行中最激进宽松周期的地 位。 当前市场密切关注6月6日及7月24日召开的两次货币政策会议。尽管部分官员支持6月继续降息,但对后 续政策节奏存在分歧:鸽派认为应抓住通胀持续回落窗口期加快宽松步伐,而谨慎派则警告需防范地缘 政治风险和薪资上涨可能引发的物价反弹。 智通财经APP获悉,欧洲央行管理委员会委员弗朗索瓦·维勒鲁瓦·德加洛周二在接受采访时指出,若特 朗普政府推行保护主义政策,可能引发美国通胀回升,但欧洲通胀压力不会因此加剧。这一判断为其支 持欧洲央行夏季降息的立场提供 ...
随着贸易政策的演变,美国通胀预计会上升

金十数据5月13日讯,美国投资管理公司First Eagle高级副总裁Idanna Appio表示,在4月份温和的CPI报 告之后,未来几个月美国通胀可能会回升。预计在贸易方面还会有其他举措,可能会宣布新的关税和协 议。我们必须拭目以待,看看其中一些交易的结果如何。最近的美英贸易协议和与中国的关税暂停表 明,关税将"大大低于"此前的预期。美联储似乎更愿意接受这样一种观点,即关税对通胀的影响可能不 仅仅是暂时的。 随着贸易政策的演变,美国通胀预计会上升 ...

Group 1 - Recent easing of tariff policies and normalization of trade policies may drive markets back to pre-2025 conditions, with a positive outlook on U.S. stocks, particularly small and mid-cap stocks, as well as investment-grade bonds in Europe and the U.S. due to attractive yields and improving macro conditions [1] - The Chinese market has largely recovered to levels seen before the "Liberation Day" tariffs were announced in early April, with sectors such as electric vehicle batteries, construction machinery, home appliances, and pet food companies likely to benefit [1] - Rapid progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations has surprised the market, alongside the recent U.S.-U.K. trade agreement, indicating the White House's intention to alleviate trade tensions faster than expected [1] Group 2 - The recent volatility in U.S. local policies has led to market tensions, prompting a downgrade of U.S. assets, but a reversal of these fund flows may now be observed [2] - Reduced tariff uncertainty has lowered the likelihood of an economic recession, with investors potentially looking past the current downturn and anticipating a recovery in the U.S. economy and assets [2] - The U.S. government appears to be shifting its policy direction towards easing tariffs and focusing on growth-promoting measures such as tax cuts [2]
