智通财经APP获悉，安联投资全球固定收益首席投资总监MichaelKrautzberger表示，美国经济未来可能 面临增长放缓和通胀上升的局面，这与美联储追求充分就业和维持物价稳定的双重使命背道而驰。特朗 普政府的贸易政策使美联储陷入困境，并导致金融市场、家庭和企业面临高度政策不确定性。安联投资 认为，目前的宏观和政策环境有利于美国收益率曲线陡峭化。此外，预期美元在2025年将面临持续的阻 力，因此倾向于在投资组合中减少美元敞口。 他续指，由于对经济增长前景的日益担忧，短期利率市场已普遍预期美联储将在年底前降息约四次。如 果未来几个月美国经济衰退的风险显著上升，且全球贸易紧张局势进一步升级，市场可能会进一步提前 对降息时间点的预期。贸易政策的不确定性将在未来几个月继续成为金融市场波动的来源。 他续指，美国贸易政策的不确定性，以及美国总统特朗普施压美联储降息，也引发了市场参与者对美国 政策可信度的质疑。受此影响，美国长期债券的期限溢价因此上升，反映出投资者要求更高的风险补偿 以持有美国国债。同时，美元也面临贬值压力。尽管美联储主席鲍威尔的任期至2026年5月才届满，且 特朗普总统无权提前将其罢免，但未来几年美联 ...

其实，特朗普总统已经看到了上述风险，但是他却无能为力，并试图进行一场基于关税的豪赌。笔者认 为，这只会加速上述的灾难的降临。 JerryZang 据媒体报道，在不久之后的6月将有数万亿美元的美国国债到期，这就意味着同样将有数万亿美元的新 国债要发行。而美联储在5月的议息会议上大概率将会按兵不动，将美国联邦基金利率水平维持在 4.25%至4.50%之间。同时，近期由于特朗普总统一系列的经济政策带给美国经济和美元的负面冲击， 正如上述情况，美国国债的利率出现上升而投标倍数却下降。 显然，对于支撑美国经济的"救命稻草"美国国债来说，面临着相较以前更加不确定的市场环境，且环境 有进一步恶化的可能。在这种情况下，无论是美国财政部，还是美联储都处于进退维谷的境地。这使得 美国经济面临更大的不确定性。 短期内，美国国债崩盘的危险微乎其微。可是，正如上文中阐述的，美元和美国国债的信用已经并正在 被严重透支，并正在一条危险的不归路上。迟早有一天，当美元和美国国债在异常情况下被市场抛弃 时，美国经济和美国资本市场将会面临巨大的灾难。 2025年5月5日美国国债竞拍数据显示，3个月国债得标利率从前值4.20%升至4.22%，而投标 ...
