新华社北京8月8日电 综述｜美国各界人士表示美国高关税"捡了芝麻丢了西瓜" 新华社记者宿亮 连日来，不少美国智库、媒体和学者指出，美国政府宣称高关税能够给美国带来巨额关税收入，却无视 关税的实际缴纳者是美国进口商和消费者这一事实。越来越多分析显示，高关税给美国经济带来的伤害 远超关税带来的收入，此举实为"捡了芝麻丢了西瓜"。 美国商务部长卢特尼克7日接受记者采访时表示，随着"对等关税"生效，预计美国每月将"入账"至少500 亿美元的关税收入。他说，此前一个月，美国已因新的关税措施获得300亿美元收入。 美国总统特朗普当天也在社交媒体发帖，称"数十亿美元的资金将开始流入美国""关税正以我们想象不 到的水平流入美国"。 越来越多专家担心，美国普通民众不得不承担高关税的严重代价。 美国摩根大通资产管理全球市场战略分析师米拉·潘迪特7日说，高关税带来的成本中有大约60%的比例 将转嫁给消费者。 总部位于华盛顿的税务基金会的高级经济学家亚历克斯·杜兰特在接受加拿大广播公司采访时表示，关 税正在打击依赖进口的众多美国企业。他强调，美国政府很难让民众相信市场物价上涨的原因与关税无 关。"我不认为大多数人会被这种说法愚弄。" ...

2025.08. 08 本文字数：2616，阅读时长大约4分钟 作者 | 第一财经 冯迪凡 图源 | 新华社 当地时间7日凌晨12点01分，特朗普政府关税进入新一阶段，对数十个贸易伙伴加征关税。 据新华社报道，美国总统特朗普7月31日签署行政令，调整对多个贸易伙伴征收的所谓"对等关税"税率，具体税率从10%至41%不等，并宣布从当天起 的7天后开始实施。8月7日，该行政令生效。 根据耶鲁大学预算实验室的最新测算，如考虑截至7月31日实施的所有美国关税、外国对等反制措施的影响以及将于8月7日生效的所谓"对等关税"，特 朗普政府宣布的一系列关税壁垒会使美国平均关税税率达到17.3%，为1935年以来最高水平。 他解释道，在232调查方面，简单而言，美国国会给予总统的授权范围非常之大，几乎不受法院法律复核的限制；但EEPA的授权范围恐怕没这么大， 有一些权力或需要美国国会而非美国总统来行使。 特朗普关税新阶段 此前，美国已经公布了最新的所谓"对等关税"税率。 据新华社报道，根据白宫网站发布的行政令文本，列出的名单中，老挝和缅甸被征收的税率均为40%；瑞士39%；塞尔维亚35%；南非30%；印度和 突尼斯25%；越南 ...

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing legal battle regarding the Trump administration's imposition of high tariffs on multiple countries raises questions about the limits of executive power and whether such actions are unconstitutional [1][2]. Group 1: Legal Proceedings - The Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held a hearing to debate whether the Trump administration's tariff actions constitute an overreach of authority [1]. - The case stems from an appeal against a ruling by the U.S. International Trade Court that temporarily blocked the President's broad use of tariffs [1]. - The court is examining the interpretation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and whether it grants the President unlimited tariff authority without Congressional approval [2][4]. Group 2: Historical Context and Arguments - The Trump administration's tariffs, which range from 10% to 41%, are based on a broad interpretation of IEEPA, which critics argue has never granted such extensive tariff-setting powers [4][5]. - Historical precedents, such as the Nixon administration's temporary tariffs, are being cited, but the current tariffs lack a specified end date and alter the established tariff schedule [5][6]. - The government argues that IEEPA allows for broad import regulation, while critics assert that the act does not explicitly mention tariffs and that Congress has not authorized such expansive powers [6][8]. Group 3: Potential Outcomes and Implications - If the court rules against the Trump administration, it may lead to significant financial implications, including the potential requirement for the government to refund tariffs already collected [7][9]. - The total tariffs collected under IEEPA and other trade laws have exceeded $150 billion, nearly double the amount from the previous fiscal year [8]. - The complexity of refunding tariffs raises questions about who would be eligible for refunds, as the costs are often passed through the economic system [9].

当地时间7日，美国政府此前公布的经过调整的"对等关税"生效，对数十个贸易伙伴征收10%至41%不 等的关税。随后，印度、日本、瑞士等多方发声，表达对关税的不满。 日本：强烈要求美国修改行政令 日本面对的"对等关税"税率为15%。当前，日本方面"强烈"要求美方修改总统行政令。 据《日本经济新闻》网站报道，日本首相石破茂7日向记者表示，美方没有落实此前双方达成的协议中 有关"税收减轻"的内容。 印度与美国之间的贸易谈判经过五轮谈判后宣告破裂，原因是双方在开放印度庞大的农业和奶制品行 业，以及停止购买俄罗斯石油等方面存在分歧。 印度外交部经济关系部长拉维表示，"美国提高关税缺乏逻辑，因此这只是一个暂时的异常现象，是印 度将面临的一个暂时问题，但随着时间的推移，我们相信最终会找到解决方案。" 瑞士：希望继续谈判 7日生效的"对等关税"中，瑞士面临的税率为39%，是发达国家中最高的。 瑞士内阁当天召开紧急会议后发布声明说，政府"仍致力于与美国进行磋商，力求降低这些关税。联邦 委员会正与美方主管部门以及受影响的行业保持密切联系。" 报道称，美方此前在谈判中承诺，日本在被加征"对等关税"时可获得"税收减轻"：如果日本输美商 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints - The market has returned to the fundamental verification stage. China's July import and export data exceeded expectations, but the export is still under pressure due to the upcoming "reciprocal tariff 2.0", and the progress of Sino-US trade negotiations needs to be continuously monitored. The US has imposed a series of new tariffs, and Trump plans to levy about 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductors, which will have a certain impact on the market. The UK central bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, and there are internal differences due to the increasing inflation risk. Putin said that he may meet with Trump in the UAE [1][2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - The Politburo meeting on July 30 deployed the economic work for the second half of the year, emphasizing the need for continuous and timely strengthening of macro policies and more moderate "anti-involution" policies. China's official manufacturing PMI in July fell to 49.3, and the new order index fell to 49.4, while the non-manufacturing sector remained in expansion. China's foreign exchange reserves in July decreased by 0.76% month-on-month, and the central bank increased its gold holdings for the ninth consecutive month. China's exports in July increased by 7.2% year-on-year in US dollars, mainly supported by the low base last year and the "rush to export" effect under tariff uncertainty. Imports increased by 4.1%, with significant growth in the imports of integrated circuits, copper ore concentrates, and high-tech products [1] Impact of "Reciprocal Tariffs" - On July 31, the White House issued an executive order to reset the "reciprocal tariff" rate standards for some countries. The new tariffs will take effect on August 7. Trump plans to levy about 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductors, and the EU's chip exports to the US are subject to a 15% tariff cap. The US economic data in July was not as expected, and the uncertainty of Trump's tariff policy continued to drag down business activities. The market expects the Fed to cut interest rates twice this year [2] Commodity Segments - Domestically, the black and new energy metal sectors are the most sensitive to the supply side. Overseas, the energy and non-ferrous sectors benefit significantly from inflation expectations. The black sector is still dragged down by downstream demand expectations, and the implementation of "anti-involution" policies should be closely monitored. The supply constraints in the non-ferrous sector have not been alleviated, and the impact of tariff implementation on demand expectations needs to be followed. In the short term, the geopolitical premium in the energy sector has ended, and the medium-term supply is expected to be relatively loose. OPEC+ accelerated production increase, agreeing to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in August, higher than expected. In the chemical sector, the "anti-involution" potential of methanol, PVC, caustic soda, urea and other products is also worthy of attention. There is no short-term weather disturbance in agricultural products, and the price fluctuation range is relatively limited [3] Key News - As of the end of July 2025, China's foreign exchange reserves decreased by $25.2 billion to $3.2922 trillion compared with the end of June, a decrease of 0.76%. China's gold reserves increased by 600,000 ounces to 73.96 million ounces in July, the ninth consecutive month of increase. China's exports in July increased by 8% year-on-year in RMB and 7.2% in US dollars, while imports increased by 4.8% in RMB and 4.1% in US dollars. Trump plans to levy about 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductors, and will sign an executive order to allow 401K accounts to invest in alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies and private equity funds. The Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, and Putin said he may meet with Trump in the UAE [5]
