美联储理事库格勒：鉴于失业率低和关税带来的建房价格压力，将利率政策利率保持稳定"一段时间"是 合适的。 ...

据知情人士向媒体透露，特朗普总统任内任职时间最长的经济顾问之一凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）， 目前是明年接替鲍威尔担任美联储主席的最热门人选。 哈塞特现任白宫国家经济委员会主任，是特朗普任内任职时间最长的经济顾问之一，他和凯文·沃什 （Kevin Warsh）是美联储主席接班人的两位主要候选人。媒体称，财政部长贝森特也参与甄选，并提 供建议，如果其他人表现不理想，贝森特本人也有可能得到这份工作。此外，美联储理事Christopher Waller则被视为"黑马"候选人。 特朗普周三也对媒体表示，他正在考虑任命哈塞特接替鲍威尔。他还将鲍威尔继续留任一事归咎于前总 统拜登。鲍威尔最初是特朗普在其第一任期内提名的，而拜登随后又将其重新提名。 特朗普不断指责鲍威尔把利率维持得太高，并表示会选择一位支持降息的美联储主席，引发市场对美联 储将丧失独立性的担忧。哈塞特也附和了特朗普对美联储的批评。他在本月接受媒体采访时提到，美联 储是一个独立机构，但他说，美联储在去年总统大选前降息，然后又以关税引发的通胀风险为由最近保 持利率不变，因此值得受到总统批评。 华盛顿智库Beacon Policy Advisers ...

【环球网财经综合报道】上周，美国总统特朗普向多个地区和国家发送新的关税函，市场避险情绪迅速升温，白银价格突破多年新高，黄金、铂 金价格亦小幅上扬。 Cavatoni表示，本届美国政府已明确将解决对外国关键矿产或其他资产的依赖列为重要任务，任何关键矿产、战略矿产，或对美国国防、能源等 行业至关重要的金属，都可能被纳入关税政策范围。不过，目前黄金主要被视为货币金属，而非关键矿产，其作用更多体现在储蓄、投资组合及 央行储备等方面，不在本届政府认定的关键矿产名单上。 但黄金国际实物流动存在一定问题，这可能推动特朗普政府采取关税措施。Cavatoni称，世界黄金协会正密切关注金属跨境运输的物流挑战及潜 在关税进展。目前，黄金关税在征收细节上尚不明确，如是否涵盖原材料或成品、以批发价还是进口价计算等，但从过往经验看，一切皆有可 能。 世界黄金协会（WGC）北美首席市场策略师Joe Cavatoni指出，当前金价持续在每盎司3300美元附近盘整，反映出市场正焦急等待利率和贸易政 策走向明朗。此前美国突然宣布对铜征收进口关税，犹如一记警钟，提醒投资者黄金未来也可能面临类似风险。 对于黄金走势，Cavatoni认为，当前推动黄 ...

Core Viewpoint - The gold market is currently in a consolidation phase around $3,300 per ounce, with investors awaiting clearer signals regarding interest rate policies and trade situations [1][2] Group 1: Market Conditions - Joe Cavatoni from the World Gold Council indicates that the recent imposition of a 50% tariff on copper imports by the U.S. government serves as a reminder that gold may also face similar tariff adjustments in the future [1] - The current price of gold reflects a lack of clarity among market participants regarding key driving factors, with prices remaining stable around $3,300 [2][3] - Gold has seen a significant increase of nearly 26% this year, which is notable compared to the average expected return rate of around 8% [3] Group 2: Supply and Demand - The annual growth rate of gold production is expected to remain between 1% and 2.5%, aligning with the World Gold Council's forecasts [3] - Small-scale artisanal mining contributes approximately 20% to the total gold supply, and the organization is taking measures to regulate this sector [3] - Central banks have been significant buyers of gold, accounting for about 20% to 25% of global annual gold consumption over the past three to four years [4] Group 3: Future Outlook - The World Gold Council anticipates that central banks will continue to be active in the gold market, with 50% of surveyed central banks planning to increase their gold holdings in the next 12 months [4] - A report on gold demand trends will be released soon, which is expected to show strong central bank demand for gold in the second quarter [4]

特朗普在他的首个任期(2018年)起便开始不停抨击鲍威尔，而近期的攻击变得特别频繁及激烈。2025年 6月以来，特朗普几乎每隔一两周就在不同场合公开批评美联储和鲍威尔。 特朗普周一表示，"我们有一个非常糟糕的美联储主席，非常糟糕。我已经试着对他客气了，但没 用。"他还补充称，"利率每高一个百分点，就要让我们多付3600亿美元。现在利率在4.5%左右，我们为 什么还要支付这么高的成本？" 智通财经APP获悉，美国总统特朗普再度对美联储主席鲍威尔发难，不仅猛烈抨击其高利率政策，更称 其为"蠢货"，并敦促美联储将联邦基准利率降至1%。这一言论在当前通胀仍高于目标、经济运行稳健 的背景下，引发市场和经济学界广泛争议。 特朗普强调，美国应该将利率降至1%，以降低借贷成本，"我们本该只付1%的利息，而不是4.5%。" 当前美国经济并不符合这些条件。就业接近充分、通胀仍高于2%的美联储目标、经济增长保持稳定。 在此环境下贸然降息，不仅不利于物价稳定，还可能被市场解读为美联储屈服于政治压力，削弱其独立 性与公信力。 尤其是考虑到美国国债市场规模高达36万亿美元，一旦投资者对美联储失去信心，可能引发市场动荡。 除了货币政策争议 ...

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing dispute regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve building is amplifying internal divisions within the Trump administration and challenging the independence of the Federal Reserve [1][3]. Group 1: Federal Reserve Independence - Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and other senior officials assert the need to respect the Federal Reserve's policy autonomy, while some advisors are pushing for the legal possibility of removing Chairman Powell from office [1][3]. - The Federal Reserve's independence is crucial for maintaining market expectations and investor confidence in dollar assets, especially amid rising fiscal deficits in the U.S. [3][4]. Group 2: Political Pressure and Monetary Policy - Since taking office, Trump has repeatedly pressured the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to alleviate fiscal burdens, aiming to reduce government borrowing costs to support his tax cut plans [3][4]. - Some advisors in Trump's camp view the current decline in inflation and cooling labor market as an opportunity to push for interest rate cuts, indicating a systematic plan rather than a spontaneous political move [3][4]. Group 3: Economic Implications - Powell indicated that potential interest rate cuts later this year would depend on data rather than political motivations, highlighting the risks of using monetary policy to address fiscal policy gaps [4]. - The tension between monetary policy independence and fiscal policy expansion is expected to intensify as the election season approaches, with Trump likely to leverage interest rate policies as a campaign tool [4][5].

Core Views - There is a divergence in views among European Central Bank (ECB) officials regarding interest rate policy, with some advocating for further rate cuts if economic growth underperforms and inflation declines excessively, while others believe current rates are appropriate and only a significant deviation in inflation would warrant a cut [1][2][4]. Group 1: Interest Rate Policy - Fabio Panetta, a member of the ECB's governing council, suggests that if economic growth is weaker than expected, leading to a significant drop in inflation, the ECB should consider further rate cuts [2]. - Panetta emphasizes the need for a flexible and pragmatic approach to monetary policy, indicating that decisions will be based on existing information and its impact on inflation forecasts [2][3]. - Isabel Schnabel, a member of the ECB's executive board, argues that the current interest rates are suitable and that the threshold for further rate cuts is high, only to be considered if inflation significantly deviates from targets [4][5]. Group 2: Economic Conditions and Risks - Schnabel asserts that the economy shows resilience despite uncertainties, and the current inflation trajectory aligns with expectations, negating immediate concerns for further rate cuts [5][6]. - There are concerns among some policymakers regarding the potential impact of ongoing trade tensions with the United States, which could affect economic activity and inflation [6]. - The ECB plans to maintain interest rates at their current levels in the upcoming meeting, with most officials preferring to observe economic trends before making further decisions [5][6]. Group 3: Banking Sector and Technology Investment - Panetta highlights the importance of technology investment in the banking sector, noting that such investments have increased by approximately 2 percentage points over the past decade [2]. - He also points out the risks associated with new technologies, prompting the Italian central bank to enhance oversight of financial intermediaries and their suppliers [3]. - Issues identified include low participation from corporate entities, incomplete IT asset inventories, and inadequate access controls for sensitive data [3].
