What to Watch Going Forward - Immediate attention should be on the stock prices of the affected banks, which have shown signs of recovery [10][45] - Monitoring credit spreads is crucial, as the underlying issue is related to borrower credit risk [10][45] - Liquidity conditions and the US financial conditions index should be tracked for potential impacts on the economy in the coming months [10][12][45]

证 券 研 究 报 告 【每周经济观察】 六问美国地区性银行"信贷危机"事件 ——海外周报第 110 期 核心观点：1、近期美国信贷市场再遇"危机"，导火索是两家区域性银行披露 其遭遇贷款欺诈，叠加 9 月两起信贷暴雷事件的影响，市场对信贷市场担忧情 绪蔓延，先抛再说，导致美国地区性银行股大跌。不过分析来看，近期发生的 事件更像是"一次性"的特定借款人风险爆发，而非彼此关联的信用危机大爆 发，且涉事规模相对有限，实际影响或可控。 2、海外怎么看？目前来看，分析师倾向于将这些违约事件视为个别现象，认 为其与特定借款人相关，而非系统性风险。但不可否认的是这些案例正加剧市 场不安情绪。 3、后续关注什么？最直接的是涉事银行（包括齐昂银行、西部联盟银行、 Jefferies）的股价，目前看 17 号已经有反弹迹象，反映市场情绪或企稳。也要 关注后续衍生影响是否有所蔓延。可能关注的指标包括：1）信用利差。2）流 动性状况，关注流动性跟踪体系指标。3）美国综合金融条件（金融条件指数）， 其会滞后影响美国经济基本面。 一、六问美国地区性银行"信贷危机"事件 （一）美国地区银行股为何突然大跌？ 当地时间 10 月 16 日， ...

南华期货外汇（美元兑人民币）周报 —— 汇率依旧"稳"字当头 周骥 （投资咨询证号：Z0017101） 投资咨询业务资格：证监许可【2011】1290号 2025年10月19日 主要观点 截至2025年10月19日，尽管美国联邦政府停摆已超过两周，并导致多项关键经济数据延迟发布，但美元 指数却在近期并未大幅下跌。我们认为，这一现象主要受到三方面因素的共同驱动：首先，数据真空期暂时 掩盖了可能利空美元的因素，为美元提供了缓冲；其次，在主要非美货币表现更为疲软的"比差逻辑"下， 例如日本政局变动引发的日元大幅贬值以及欧元区经济疲软和法国政治僵局拖累欧元，美元获得了被动支 撑；最后，政府停摆等地缘政治风险推升了市场的避险情绪，促使资金流向美元资产。从彭博编制的"3个月 美元兑一篮子货币25D RR隐含波动率"指标可观察到关键线索：在G7经济体汇率"比差逻辑"的主导下， 市场配置偏好从非美货币转向黄金、白银等商品类资产，这种资产再配置行为间接为美元提供了支撑，成为 美元指数短期坚挺的重要推手。在此背景下，美元兑人民币汇率的走势则呈现出不同的逻辑。中国央行在 2025年第三季度货币政策例会中明确强调，将"综合施策，增强 ...
