周一（5月19日）亚洲早盘交易时段，美股期货、美债期货和美元指数同步走弱，尤其是30年期美债收益率已逼近5%大关，为2007年中期以来新高。 封面新闻记者朱宁 5月16日，美股收盘后，穆迪评级公司（Moody's Ratings）宣布将美国的信用评级从最高级别的Aaa下调至Aa1。穆迪的这一决定这意味着美国已被三大评 级机构全部降级。而此举也使外界对美国作为全球最优质主权借款国的地位产生疑问。 随着贸易局势近期以来有所缓和，部分抛售情绪有所缓解，投资者在债券市场的关注点迅速转向美国的财政轨迹，穆迪下调美国评级的举动无疑再度使美 元资产承压。 穆迪指出，此次下调反映出美国政府债务与利息支付比例在过去十多年中持续攀升，现已远高于同等级别的其他主权国家。 该机构表示，预计未来十年，由于福利类支出不断增长而政府收入维持平稳，美国财政赤字将进一步扩大，政府债务和利息负担也将不断上升。 相比美国过去的财政状况以及与其他高评级国家的比较，美国的财政表现将持续恶化。这意味着在Aa1评级下，正负风险大致平衡。不过穆迪指出，美国 依然拥有诸多"非凡的信用优势"，包括经济规模庞大、具有韧性和活力，以及美元作为全球储备货币的地位。 ...

Group 1 - Moody's has downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, marking the first time the U.S. has lost its AAA rating from all three major rating agencies [1][2] - The downgrade is attributed to the surging debt burden and unsustainable fiscal deficit, with predictions that the U.S. fiscal deficit could reach 9% of GDP by 2035 [1][2] - The timing of Moody's downgrade coincides with ongoing political challenges in the U.S., particularly regarding tax reform efforts that have stalled due to internal disagreements within the Republican Party [2] Group 2 - The Federal Reserve is modifying its monetary policy framework, shifting focus from an average inflation target to a current inflation target, indicating a potential for more flexible monetary policy in the future [3][4] - Consumer confidence in the U.S. has declined, with the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropping to 50.8, reflecting concerns over inflation and economic outlook [3][4] - The market's response to the downgrade and economic indicators suggests limited short-term impact, but long-term implications could be detrimental if fiscal deficits remain unaddressed [2][4] Group 3 - Trump's trade policies, particularly the tariff strategy, have been characterized as chaotic and lacking a coherent strategy, leading to market volatility and uncertainty [5][6] - The approach taken by Trump is described as "transactional," prioritizing outcomes over processes, which could undermine the U.S.'s long-term credibility and global trade order [6][7] - The upcoming economic data releases, including the European Central Bank's meeting minutes and China's retail figures, are anticipated to provide further insights into global economic conditions [7]

国际信用评级机构穆迪5月16日宣布，由于美国政府债务和利率支付比例增加，该机构决定将美国主权 信用评级从Aaa下调至Aa1，同时将美国主权信用评级展望从"负面"调整为"稳定"。对此，美国财政部 长斯科特·贝森特当地时间5月18日表示，"穆迪是一个滞后指标——这就是每个人对信用评级机构的看 法。""我们不是在过去100天里走到这一步的，"贝森特表示。"我们继承的是拜登政府以及过去四年的 支出政策"，"我们决心降低支出，促进经济增长。" ...

穆迪认为，美国政府当前财政支出计划无法让强制性支出和赤字在未来出现实质性减少。该机构预计，如果不调整税收和支出，美国预算灵活性仍将有 限，包括利息在内的强制性支出占总支出的比例将从2024年的73%左右升至2035年的78%左右。如果美国国会2017年通过的《减税与就业法案》得以延 长，未来10年内，扣除利息支出后的美国联邦财政赤字将增加约4万亿美元，美国联邦政府债务占国内生产总值（GDP）比重到2035年将升至134%。 摩根大通策略师Jay Barry在一份报告中表示，长期来看，穆迪下调美国评级可能会导致利息支出增加，此举将使美债相对于匹配期限的隔夜指数掉期 （OIS）价格走低。 该策略师表示，鉴于需求格局发生结构性转变，贸易和货币政策存在不确定性，短期内风险倾向于熊陡。这一事件导致的波动程度应该会比4月初关税公 告后出现的波动更小，因为投资者的仓位现在更加中性，而且不太可能像上个月那样出现夸大基本面的市场波动。 报告还称，在其他条件相同的情况下，穆迪此次下调评级，会使30年期掉期利差缩小约5个基点。然而，美债似乎已经显示出比其他类似评级的发达市场 主权债券更高的风险溢价，这表明价格降低的幅度可能比这些系 ...
