这两起案件的核心，都在于回答一个根本性的问题：美国总统是否拥有单方面的权力，以前所未有的方 式重塑美国商业和全球贸易的关键机制？而这个问题的答案，将由最高法院来决定。 保守派法律团体"新公民自由联盟"（New Civil Liberties Alliance）的高级诉讼顾问John Vecchione表示， 其影响无论在经济上还是宪法层面上都是"巨大的"。 特朗普的全球关税政策和对库克的免职起诉正面临美国最高法院的最终裁决。 最新的进展是，据央视新闻，当地时间8月29日，美国上诉法院裁定美国总统特朗普实施的大部分全球 关税政策非法。法院表示，《国际紧急经济权力法》并未明确赋予美国总统加征关税的权力，特朗普援 引该法加征关税超越了其职权范围。 根据裁决书，该裁决10月14日之前不会生效，以便特朗普政府向美国最高法院提出上诉。 与此同时，针对特朗普试图解雇美联储理事库克一案的法庭听证会也在周五当天结束，这场前所未有的 法律战将检验美国总统对美联储七人理事会的权力。 分析指出，鉴于此案的重要性，任何法院裁决几乎都肯定会被上诉，最终可能上达最高法院。 巨大的经济与宪法影响 最高法院今年在多起案件中基本支持了特朗普一方 ...

Core Viewpoint - The unprecedented dismissal of Federal Reserve Board member Cook by President Trump raises concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve and the future of U.S. monetary policy [1][5][9]. Group 1: Dismissal of Cook - President Trump exercised his presidential power to dismiss Federal Reserve Board member Cook, marking a significant event in U.S. history [1]. - The reason for Cook's dismissal was related to allegations of dishonesty in his mortgage applications, which has been widely criticized as insufficient [3][4]. - Trump's actions are perceived as an attempt to influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, particularly to push for interest rate cuts [3][9]. Group 2: Market Reactions - Following the news of Cook's dismissal, the financial markets reacted swiftly, with the dollar index dropping by 30 basis points and gold prices rising by $20, indicating investor anxiety [3][7]. - The market's response reflects concerns over potential political interference in monetary policy, leading investors to seek safer assets [7]. Group 3: Legal and Political Implications - The legality of Trump's dismissal is under scrutiny, as the Federal Reserve Act requires "sufficient cause" for such actions, which remains vaguely defined [4][5]. - Cook has indicated plans to pursue legal action regarding his dismissal, which could lead to a significant court battle [4][12]. - The situation poses a challenge to the long-standing independence of the Federal Reserve, which is designed to prevent political influence over monetary policy [5][9]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The ongoing power struggle could have lasting implications for the Federal Reserve's independence, especially if Trump successfully appoints more aligned members to the Board [7][9]. - The timing of this conflict is critical, as the U.S. economy faces inflationary pressures and slowing growth, complicating the Federal Reserve's policy decisions [7][9]. - The outcome of this confrontation may redefine the rules governing the U.S. financial system, affecting everyday financial aspects such as mortgage rates and investment returns [11][12].

Core Viewpoint - The recent political maneuvering by Trump to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook under the pretext of "loan fraud" highlights a significant conflict between Trump and Fed Chair Powell regarding interest rate policies, potentially threatening the independence of the Federal Reserve [1][3]. Group 1: Federal Reserve Independence - The Federal Reserve is a "semi-private" institution, and direct government intervention, especially under allegations of fraud, is unprecedented and could lead to a Supreme Court case [3]. - If the court supports Trump, it could undermine the Fed's independence established since its inception in 1913, leading to the politicization of monetary policy [3][5]. Group 2: Market Reactions and Implications - Trump's actions may be a strategic play to create the illusion that the Fed will definitely lower interest rates in September, as indicated by Powell's recent comments that sparked a significant market rally [3][5]. - Following Powell's remarks, the probability of a rate cut surged from 40% to 90%, resulting in a substantial increase in stock prices and a drop in bond yields [3][5]. Group 3: Economic Consequences - A rate cut would imply an admission of failure in combating inflation, with the U.S. fiscal deficit projected to exceed $1.8 trillion this year, raising concerns about the sustainability of high-interest payments [5]. - The potential for a weakened dollar and capital flight raises questions about the Fed's willingness to take such risks, as they have not made any firm commitments regarding rate cuts [5][7]. Group 4: Long-term Risks - The creation of a "false certainty" in the market could lead to a significant financial disaster if the anticipated rate cut does not materialize, as history shows that false prosperity often precedes collapse [7]. - The real danger lies in the erosion of market trust due to misleading signals, which could ultimately threaten the dominance of the dollar [7].

格隆汇8月30日｜据华尔街日报，8月，当经济学家对特朗普不停对美联储升级压力感到束手无策时，美 国市场发出了一个不同的信息：让好时光来吧。周五，人工智能相关股票在长周末之前遭遇抛售，但这 并不足以影响股市的月度涨势。标普500指数8月份上涨1.9%，纳指上涨1.6%。道琼斯指数上涨3.2%。 疲弱的经济数据和迄今为止关税对价格的温和影响，让投资者对美联储将在下个月的会议上降息更有信 心。与此同时，特朗普努力让美联储的官员都支持低利率，加剧了人们对进一步降息可能即将到来的希 望。经济学家警告说，一个更容易受白宫影响的美联储更有可能过度降息，最终推高通胀。如果说8月 份的表现有何暗示的话，那就是股市将这种可能性视为明天的担忧。 ...
