Core Viewpoint - The U.S. stock market, particularly the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, has experienced a rapid recovery driven by strong performances from major tech companies amid an unprecedented AI boom, but faces significant risks that could disrupt this optimistic environment [1][2]. Group 1: Market Performance - The S&P 500 index closed at 6263 points, up 29% from its April low, nearing its historical peak of 6284 points [1]. - The MSCI global index also reached a historical high, influenced by the AI surge and easing geopolitical tensions, alongside expectations of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve [1].

美联储6月会议纪要将于周三公布，市场关注FOMC内部对降息时点与节奏的详细讨论。 当前市场定价已反映美联储年内两次降息，任何超预期信号都将引发重新定价。会议纪要若呈现鸽派基 调，市场或进一步计价9月降息。若后续经济数据向好，9月降息概率亦可能下降。 6月会议的点阵图显示了美联储内部明显的分歧。一些政策制定者预计今年将有两次降息，而另一些人 则预测根本不会降息。摩根士丹利分析师表示，他们将寻找导致这种分歧的线索。更鹰派的委员可能会 表示，他们正在等待失业率上升，或者他们需要更多时间来评估关税和其他财政政策对通胀的影响。而 美联储主席鲍威尔曾表示，他预计关税的通胀效应将在今年夏天显现，并暗示美联储与宽松政策之间的 唯一障碍是这些价格压力的不确定性。如果会议纪要显示出对这一观点的部分认同，它可能标志着美联 储转向更积极主动的立场。 近期特朗普频繁批评鲍威尔降息迟缓，美联储理事沃勒与鲍曼先后提及7月降息可能性，引发市场对提 前行动的预期升温。沃勒指出招聘放缓迹象，初请与续请失业金人数持续上升支持其观点。鲍曼在6月 会议后罕见放鸽，与当时声明中"通胀上行、增长放缓"基调形成反差。沃勒与鲍曼此前并非典型鸽派， 其转变令市 ...

由于7月4日是假期，本周的非农报告罕见地在周四而非周五发布。 报告特别指出："只要非农数据高于10万，股市仍将获得支撑。虽然我们视之为积极信号，但接近预测 区间下端的数据可能难以显著改善市场情绪——尤其是考虑到美联储主席鲍威尔此前关于关税影响将在 6-8月数据中显现的警告。" 周三，在非农数据公布前，标普500指数创下年内新高。 然而，6月ADP报告显示私营部门就业减少3.3 万个岗位，这令部分交易员和经济学家对预测产生动摇。 虽然ADP数据并不总能准确预测美国劳工统计局（BLS）的就业数据，但此次疲软表现确实强化了经济 可能开始失速的观点。 摩根大通设定了不同情景下的市场反应： 新增8.5万-10.5万：标普500指数可能下跌0.25%-1.5% 摩根大通交易部门模拟推演显示，若周四公布的就业数据与早前ADP报告的疲软态势相似，美国股市很 可能出现大幅抛售。 该行美国市场情报团队周三发布报告称，符合预期的就业数据可能推动股市上涨，但下行风险明显大于 上行空间。 根据道琼斯调查，经济学家普遍预测6月新增就业岗位11万个。 摩根大通首席美国经济学家迈克尔·费罗利（Michael Feroli）则预计新增12.5 ...
