Core Viewpoint - UBS believes that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, it will force the government to refund approximately $140 billion in tariffs to importers, significantly impacting the short-term fiscal situation and potentially leading to a lower overall tax rate trade environment that could ultimately benefit the U.S. economy and stock market [1][4][13] Group 1: Supreme Court Ruling and Its Implications - The U.S. Supreme Court is set to quickly review the legality of most tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, with oral arguments scheduled for November 5 [4] - UBS estimates that if the tariffs are deemed illegal, the government may need to refund between $130 billion to $140 billion in tariff revenue, which would worsen the already challenging federal budget deficit situation, equating to 7.9% of the projected 2025 deficit [4][9] - The ruling could lead to market volatility in the short term, but if trade partners exercise restraint and avoid retaliation, the overall impact may be limited [4][17] Group 2: Financial Impact of Refunds - The estimated refund of $130 billion to $140 billion represents only 0.5% of the projected U.S. GDP for 2025, indicating a minimal stimulative effect on the economy [8] - However, this amount is significant for federal finances, as it constitutes 7.9% of the projected $1.8 trillion federal budget deficit for 2025, leading to substantial short-term fiscal pressure [9][10] - The loss of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as a flexible tariff tool may weaken future federal tax revenues, potentially steepening the yield curve due to concerns over fiscal sustainability [10] Group 3: Corporate and Market Reactions - For U.S. companies that directly paid tariffs, receiving refunds would provide unexpected financial relief, particularly benefiting small companies with fewer than 500 employees [12] - While large publicly traded companies may also benefit from refunds, the direct costs of tariffs have not significantly impacted the earnings forecasts for the S&P 500 index, suggesting that the positive effects of refunds may be minimal at the index level [12] - A potential decrease in the overall effective tariff rate could enhance household purchasing power, support economic growth, and improve corporate earnings, while reduced inflationary pressures may provide the Federal Reserve with more room to lower interest rates, a favorable outcome for stock investors [13] Group 4: Rebuilding Tariff Barriers - UBS anticipates that the government will not allow the collapse of tariff barriers if the IEEPA tariffs are invalidated, instead utilizing other legal tools to rebuild them [14] - Possible options include the 1974 Trade Act's Sections 201 and 301, which are more traditional tools but require lengthy investigations, and the 1962 Trade Expansion Act's Section 232, which allows tariffs based on national security [15][16] - The government may initially use Section 122 to quickly restore some tariffs, but will eventually need to rely on more complex and legally sound tools like Sections 232 and 301 for broader tariff implementation [16] Group 5: Future Trade Relations - Limited retaliation from trade partners may lead to a better-than-expected overall economic impact, as countries may refrain from escalating tensions due to concerns over deeper economic damage [17] - During the 150-day window of Section 122, significant changes to the tariff landscape may not occur, but after this period, the government will lose the flexibility granted by the IEEPA, making trade policy more targeted [18] - Countries with long-standing trade surpluses with the U.S. are likely to become initial targets for investigations under Section 301, and if IEEPA tariffs are ruled illegal, the overall effective tariff rate in the U.S. may decrease, although disparities in tariff rates among countries could increase [19]

在特朗普第二任期的第一年，投资者纷纷涌入全球股市。起初是为了对冲其混乱关税政策可能引发的美股波动，随后则转向寻找估值更具吸引力 的标普500替代品。这一走势印证了高盛Peter Oppenheimer与美银Michael Hartnett等策略师在2024年的前瞻性判断——他们当时便建议投资者将目 光投向美国以外。 Hartnett目前指出，尽管随着美国企业盈利走强及债券收益率走低，全球股市的领先增速可能放缓，但他仍看好国际市场的未来表现。 亚洲股市受益AI供应链地位 亚洲股市表现尤为突出，这得益于该地区在AI供应链中的核心地位。台积电、三星电子和东京电子等芯片制造、代工和设备龙头企业推动了整体 涨势。 韩国Kospi指数过去一年飙升55%，领跑亚洲主要市场，凸显其作为区域内最具吸引力AI投资标的地位。 一年前，投资者们普遍认为，如果特朗普赢得总统大选，其关税威胁与减税政策将导致国际股市表现不及美国。然而，全球市场如今正上演一场 历史性的逆转。 自特朗普去年11月赢得大选以来，以美元计价的中国、欧洲及加拿大基准股指表现均优于标普500指数。MSCI全球（除美国）股票指数今年相对 华尔街基准指数的领先幅度，创下 ...

Core Viewpoint - A key ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court may dismantle the core of the Trump administration's tariff policy, potentially requiring the government to refund a substantial amount of tariffs to importers and reshape U.S. trade barriers [1][2]. Group 1: Legal Context - The Supreme Court case "Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc." centers on whether the "norms of imports" in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) implicitly grants the president the authority to impose tariffs, despite the absence of explicit mention of "tariffs" in the statute [2]. - Opponents argue that the power to levy tariffs belongs to Congress, requiring clearer authorization for large-scale tariff actions by the government [2]. Group 2: Financial Implications - If the IEEPA tariffs are ruled illegal, the government may be forced to refund approximately $130 billion to $140 billion in tariff revenue, which would significantly impact the federal budget deficit, equating to 7.9% of the projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2025 [4]. - The refund amount represents only 0.5% of the estimated U.S. GDP for 2025, indicating a minimal macroeconomic boost, but a substantial short-term impact on federal finances [4]. Group 3: Market Reactions - For U.S. companies directly paying tariffs, receiving refunds would provide unexpected financial relief, particularly benefiting small companies with fewer than 500 employees, which are estimated to receive about one-third of the refunds [8]. - The overall effective tariff rate may decrease, enhancing household purchasing power and supporting economic growth and corporate profits, although the positive effects on the S&P 500 index may be negligible [8][9]. Group 4: Future Trade Policy - The government is expected to utilize other legal tools to rebuild tariff barriers if the IEEPA tariffs are invalidated, including the Trade Act of 1974 and the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, although these processes may be more time-consuming and less flexible [10]. - The potential for targeted tariffs may increase, particularly against countries with significant trade surpluses with the U.S., leading to greater disparities in tariff rates among different countries [11].

Group 1: Economic Overview - The U.S. economy is experiencing a complex scenario characterized by strong consumer spending, rising AI investments, and a softening labor market [2][6] - Current economic growth is primarily driven by productivity gains from AI investments, suggesting a potentially higher long-term growth rate for the U.S. [2][6] - The direct effects of AI investment include stimulating demand and boosting consumer confidence, while indirect effects are seen in rising productivity [2][6] Group 2: Tariff and Trade Impact - Tariff costs are currently borne by importers and have not significantly impacted consumer prices, limiting their overall economic effect [3][11] - The uncertainty caused by tariffs has led some businesses to delay investments, which could gradually increase inflation if import prices rise [3][11] - Overall, the impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy is considered limited at this stage, with the primary concern being the uncertainty they create [12][13] Group 3: Monetary Policy and Inflation - Current inflation is around 3%, which is above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%, potentially constraining the space for interest rate cuts [3][10] - The Federal Reserve is expected to focus more on inflation rather than employment, especially if inflation remains above 3% [3][10] - The Fed's approach is described as "data-driven," which is deemed appropriate given the current economic complexities [3][9] Group 4: AI and Employment - While productivity growth is notable, there are concerns that AI may lead to the displacement of certain skilled jobs, resulting in structural unemployment [3][19] - Individuals are advised to develop transferable skills to avoid over-specialization, and there is a call for government and societal initiatives to promote retraining programs [3][19] - The interaction between AI investments and employment is complex, with significant productivity improvements expected, but the exact impact on job markets remains uncertain [15][19] Group 5: Debt and Political Environment - The U.S. debt issue is technically manageable, but political will to address it is lacking, which could raise investor concerns in the medium to long term [4][24] - The outcome of the 2026 midterm elections could lead to either the continuation of current policies or increased uncertainty, impacting U.S.-China-EU economic relations [4][28] - There is a belief that the Federal Reserve's independence is strong, despite some attempts to influence it, and it is expected to make sound decisions [21][22]

Economic Overview - The U.S. economy is experiencing a complex scenario characterized by strong consumer spending, rising AI investments, and a softening labor market [1][4] - The growth is primarily driven by productivity improvements from AI investments, suggesting a potential increase in the U.S. economy's long-term growth rate [1][4] AI Investment Impact - AI investments are stimulating demand and boosting confidence, with significant direct and indirect effects on productivity [1][14] - Current productivity growth is notable, but it remains uncertain how much of it is structural versus cyclical [4][14] Tariff Policy Effects - Tariff costs are mainly borne by importers, with limited immediate impact on consumer prices, thus having a gradual effect on inflation [1][10] - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs has led some businesses to delay investments, which could affect overall investment levels [10][11] Monetary Policy Outlook - Current inflation is around 3%, above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%, which may limit the scope for further interest rate cuts [2][9] - The Federal Reserve is expected to adopt a "data-driven" approach in its monetary policy decisions amid the current economic complexities [2][8] Labor Market and Employment - Despite strong productivity growth, there are concerns that AI may lead to structural unemployment, particularly affecting skilled jobs [2][14] - The labor market is showing mixed signals, with productivity growth not translating into significant job creation [4][5] Debt and Political Environment - The U.S. debt issue is technically manageable, but political will to address it is lacking, which could raise investor concerns in the long term [2][19] - The outcome of the 2026 midterm elections could influence policy continuity, with potential implications for U.S.-China-EU economic relations [2][22] Global Economic Relations - There is a call for enhanced dialogue among countries to address structural adjustments in global trade and growth models [2][22] - The U.S. dollar's status is not expected to weaken significantly, but irresponsible fiscal policies could lead to investor concerns [2][18]

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cuts have proven to be more beneficial than the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, highlighting the challenges of tariff collection and the burden of national debt interest payments [1][12][29] - Tariff revenues for the fiscal year 2025 reached $195 billion, nearly tripling from the previous year, but the collection process is complicated and often ineffective due to various loopholes and corruption risks [3][5][10] - The interest payments on the national debt are projected to exceed $1.1 trillion in 2024, representing 3.93% of GDP, marking the highest level since 1998, while the recent interest rate cuts could save approximately $95 billion annually [13][15][20] Group 2 - The aging population in the U.S. poses significant economic challenges, with over 56 million people aged 65 and older by 2024, which could lead to labor shortages and increased reliance on imports [25][27] - The current economic strategy of lowering interest rates may provide short-term relief but risks leading to long-term issues similar to those faced by Japan, such as low consumer spending and economic stagnation [22][29] - The combination of tariffs and immigration restrictions under the Trump administration could exacerbate inflation and economic inefficiencies, necessitating a reevaluation of fiscal policies to address these deep-rooted issues [24][29]

Core Viewpoint - A recent poll indicates that a majority of Americans believe the high tariff policy implemented by the Trump administration has negatively impacted household finances and contributed to rising inflation [1] Group 1: Financial Impact on Households - Approximately 70% of Americans reported an increase in grocery spending compared to last year [1] - 60% of respondents stated that their utility expenses have risen [1] - 40% indicated higher costs for healthcare, housing, and gasoline [1] - Overall, 55% of participants believe that the tariff policy has worsened their household financial situation [1] Group 2: Political and Economic Sentiment - Among political affiliations, 96% of Democrats, 72% of independents, and 29% of Republicans disapprove of the Trump administration's handling of tariff issues [1] - More than 60% of respondents think that tariffs have driven up inflation in the U.S. and harmed both the domestic and affected countries' economies [1]

Core Argument - The U.S. Supreme Court will hold oral arguments regarding the legality of tariffs imposed by President Trump, focusing on whether he has the authority to set import tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [1][3]. Group 1: Legal Authority and Historical Context - The central issue is whether the Constitution's grant of exclusive tax and trade powers to Congress still holds, and if the executive branch can set tariffs without public oversight [1]. - The case arises from lower court rulings that deemed Trump's tariff policies illegal, prompting the government to appeal [1]. - Historical precedents show that U.S. courts, including the Supreme Court, have allowed tariffs under similar laws in specific circumstances, such as during the Nixon administration [4]. Group 2: Financial Implications and Arguments - The Trump administration argues that revoking the legal authority for tariffs could lead to significant costs and a larger federal revenue gap than previously disclosed [3]. - However, proponents of a liberal stance dispute this claim, noting that U.S. tariff revenue is relatively limited [3]. Group 3: Legal Text and Interpretation - The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 does not explicitly mention "tariffs," raising questions about whether "regulating" imports includes the authority to impose tariffs [6]. - The Trump administration contends that regulating imports inherently includes taxation, while the opposing side argues that Congress would have specified "tariffs" if that were the intent [6]. Group 4: Potential Outcomes and Future Implications - Even if the Supreme Court rules against Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for tariffs, it may not dismantle the protectionist framework established by his administration [6]. - Existing legal frameworks, such as the 1974 Trade Act and provisions from the 1930 Tariff Act, could still support tariff policies regardless of the court's decision [6]. - The oral arguments on November 5 will be a significant event in the intersection of U.S. law and politics [6].
