据英国《卫报》当地时间6月7日报道，今年由内阁大臣们发起新成立的英国软实力委员会的成员们警告称，被视为英国软实力前沿机构 的英国广播公司国际部（BBC World Service）、英国文化教育协会（British Council）以及众多顶尖高校，均面临严峻的财政压力。 【文/观察者网 熊超然】英国政府的大臣们，近日被指责在争夺全球软实力方面"玩忽职守"，他们的一些顾问警告称，一场资金危机正在 削弱提升英国影响力的关键机构。 有人担心，尽管大臣们面临着"加强软实力"的呼声，但这些机构可能在下周的财政支出审查中再受影响。报道炒作渲染称，与此同时， 美国特朗普正大幅削减美国支持的软实力机构的拨款，而中国和俄罗斯两国却投入数十亿美元扩大国际影响力。 英国软实力委员会成员、高校倡导团体"英国大学联盟"（Universities UK）首席执行官薇薇安·斯特恩则警告称，与中国通过投资、奖学 金、媒体、音乐及文化项目等方式提升软实力的努力相比，人们只会觉得"我们在方向盘上睡着了（asleep at the wheel）"。 "我们继承了这个（软实力）地位，认为这是我们的神圣权利，但事实并非如此，"她直言："你必须努力维 ...

Core Viewpoint - The short-term oil price is expected to experience a volatile upward trend due to the summer demand peak and interest rate cut expectations, but caution is advised regarding OPEC's production increase and fluctuating trade policies [1][2][3] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The current oil price rebound is supported by a dynamic balance between supply and demand, with OPEC planning to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day in July, alongside potential overproduction risks from countries like Kazakhstan [2] - Seasonal demand is expected to rise due to increased travel during the summer, but overall demand may be constrained by weak global economic recovery, creating a tug-of-war between strong seasonal demand and weak macroeconomic conditions [2][3] - Supply disruptions from events like Canadian wildfires and geopolitical conflicts (e.g., reduced Russian exports) are providing short-term support against the pressures of increased production [2][3] Policy Influence - The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is strengthening demand-side dynamics, as lower borrowing costs could stimulate energy consumption and provide a core upward driver for oil prices [2] - Recent U.S. employment data indicates a stable job market, reinforcing the likelihood of a rate cut, which could further enhance oil demand [2] - Trade policy uncertainties, including delays in U.S.-EU negotiations and unilateral U.S. actions (e.g., sanctions on Venezuela), are creating volatility in market confidence and could negatively impact long-term oil demand resilience [2][3] Geopolitical Risks - Geopolitical tensions are amplifying supply disruption risks, with events such as the Ukraine conflict and U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations contributing to increased oil price volatility [3] - The potential for OPEC's production increases to exceed expectations and the unpredictability of U.S. trade policies are highlighted as key risks for the oil market [3] Market Outlook - The short-term outlook for oil prices is characterized by a volatile upward trend driven by seasonal demand peaks, interest rate cut expectations, and geopolitical premiums, while mid to long-term pressures may arise from non-OPEC supply increases and potential oversupply by 2025 [3]

美国可能加强对委内瑞拉制裁限制其原油出口，以及以色列可能袭击伊朗基础设施，这些因素都增加了 油价上行风险。但石油需求疲软，加上欧佩克联盟和非欧佩克产油国增产，将在未来几个季度加剧价格 下行压力。沙特阿拉伯将7月销往亚洲的原油价格下调至近两个月低点。在欧佩克联盟同意7月日增产 41.1万桶后，此次降价幅度小于预期。沙特一直主张更大幅度增产，这是其夺回市场份额并约束欧佩克 联盟成员国过度生产战略的一部分。汇丰银行表示："根据我们估算，随着夏季石油需求回升并在7-8月 达到峰值，与欧佩克联盟增产相匹配，二三季度市场将趋于平衡。此后欧佩克联盟加速增产将导致2025 年第四季度出现比此前预期更大的供应过剩。" 美东时间周五（6月6日），美国劳工统计局公布的数据显示，5月非农就业人数增加13.9万人，尽管较 上月数据有所放缓，但仍高于市场预期。失业率则维持在4.2%不变。美联储哈克表示，不确定性使得 预测货币政策前景变得非常困难。在存在不确定性的情况下，美联储仍有可能在今年晚些时候降息。美 国5月非农就业报告是"稳健的"，关税的影响尚未完全显现。美联储的利率政策具有适度的限制性。现 在是美联储保持稳定并观察数据的时候了。 ...

邓正红软实力表示，市场对中美领导人通话成果的乐观预期提振投资者对经济增长和油价需求前景的预 期，石油软实力向上，周四（6月5日）国际油价走高。截至收盘，纽约商品期货交易所西得克萨斯轻质 原油7月期货结算价每桶涨0.52美元至63.37美元，涨幅0.83%；伦敦洲际交易所布伦特原油8月期货结算 价每桶涨0.48美元至65.34美元，涨幅0.74%。美东时间4日上午，中美两国元首同意双方团队继续落实 好日内瓦共识，尽快举行新一轮会谈。报道称此次通话应特朗普要求进行，但未透露两国领导人对话的 更多细节。通话后，特朗普称将举行更多中美贸易谈判。 尽管下半年欧佩克联盟预期增产可能导致市场供应过剩，但地缘政治事件和加拿大野火可能削减石油产 量，这些因素仍在为油价提供支撑。沙特阿美把7月份销往亚洲的轻质原油价格对阿曼和迪拜原油价格 议价每桶下调至1.20美元，比6月份每桶低0.20美元。分析认为，在油价处于波动区间中段之际，原油市 场继续有很多噪音。从交易量看，尽管欧佩克目前仍存在超产问题，似乎市场在看多石油。 当前，原油供应增幅有限，而旺季消费正逐步回升，这将助力油价延续震荡修复的走势。关税阶段性缓 和，对市场风险偏好以 ...

为什么？ 因为趋势在悄悄地重塑环境、机会，甚至整个行业。 为什么会转变呢？有几个关键原因。第一个是：趋势是一种现实的方向。 年轻时，我们大多关注具体的任务、专业技能、项目执行这些，这些都非常重要，能带来直接的回报。 但随着经验积累，年龄增长，你会发现：有时，你明明很努力，却好像跟不上时代了。 以前，特别不喜欢别人跟我讲"趋势"。 总觉得，太宏观了，听着高大上，听完也就那样。离自己很远，没什么实际用处，对日常的工作也没什 么帮助。 后来，也不知道是从什么时候开始，想法慢慢变了。我开始觉得，也许真的有必要花点时间，去了解一 些前瞻性的内容，看看未来可能会发生什么。 01 我见过太多人，在一个岗位上干了很多年，结果有一天突然发现：哎，怎么没机会了？或者跟年轻人比 起来，机会反而更少了？ 这里面的关键就在于：要学会观察行业的变化。 AI是一个非常典型的例子。那我们能不能把自己的岗位和AI结合起来，提前布局？我相信是可以的。 你在做市场推广的工作，知道短视频很重要，那你有没有想过，在产品策划、文案内容这些方面，结合 AI工具来提升效率？把重复性强、耗时多的工作交给AI，腾出时间去做更有价值的事情。 所以，我觉得，趋势不 ...

昨天，美国特朗普政府声称将积极地撤销中国学生签证，同时加强审查今后所有来自中国内地和香港的签证申请。 值得一提的是，这倒不仅仅针对中国，美国近期还暂停了对赴美留学、交流的外国公民在海外申请签证需要进行的面谈，并加强对申请者社交媒体帖子的 审查。 风雨欲来，当美国对中国等多个国家逐渐开始"闭关锁国"，世界又如何看待今天的美国呢？ 近期Skift（美国权威旅游行业新闻网站）做过一份调查报告，当时我还觉得《特朗普政策或将导致美国旅游业衰退》这个标题有点夸张，现在看颇有先见 之明。 01 美国驻华大使馆公众号5月29日截图 从具体调研内容来看，Skift问了来自五个国家的1250名游客："特朗普执政时期，你们有去美国的旅游计划吗？" 结果，有46%的人当场回答"那不可能"。 更离谱的是，加拿大受访者"不去"的比例是62%，德国人"不去"是59%。 这不是"不想去"，而是"躲着走"。 前阵子，我和一个中国工作多年的法国老友聊到今年暑期安排，他也是类似态度，"Xi，我宁可去你们宁夏看沙漠，也不想在纽约机场被问十分钟'你来干 嘛的'。" 听起来像段子，实际上是趋势，而数据也已经开口说话了。 也就是说，美国成了全球184个经 ...

每经编辑｜毕陆名 据央视新闻26日消息，当地时间25日，美国总统特朗普威胁称，联邦政府将可能不再继续向哈佛大学提供新的拨款，并要求校方提供所有国际学生的姓名及 国籍信息，以便进一步审查。 《日本经济新闻》网站文章认为，来自全球的优秀人才曾支撑起美国的繁荣，而特朗普政府正试图切断这一循环。 近期在英国伦敦发布的《2025年全球软实力指数》显示，美国在国际社会的"声誉"指标明显下滑。软实力概念的提出者、哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院前院长约 瑟夫·奈在去世前曾撰文说，美国吸引其他国家的能力已日渐衰落，特朗普政府的种种做法正严重损害美国的"软实力"。 斯普雷策表示，美国教育委员会在4月就给美国国务院和国土安全部致信，要求他们如果要撤销学生签证，终止学生及交流访问学者项目，就需要提供更多 信息，但并没有收到回应。 斯普雷策说，她担心准入学的国际学生觉得来美国风险太大，从而导致学生数量开始下降，而国际学生去年一年就给美国带来了430亿美元的经济收益。 另据新华社报道，针对特朗普政府对哈佛大学的"国际禁招令"，哈佛大学教授瑞安·伊诺斯称，美国政府正试图对一个美国机构施加惩罚，原因仅仅是这个 机构没有屈服于美国政府的政治意愿。 美 ...
