市场剧烈震荡迫使美国政府开始政策回调。美国已宣布延迟90天实施"对等关税"政策，特朗普还暗示可 能下调对华关税，否认施压美联储主席离职，市场暂时出现了美元资产回暖势头。但是美国关税政策剧 烈变化带来的高度不确定性、美财政整顿前景不明以及美债已发生的外资减持、中长期国债净空头加仓 等结构性变化，表明国际资本仍对美元资产前景疑虑丛丛。如果再叠加美联储降息预期拖延太久、90天 后关税谈判达不成协议以及今年美国9万亿到期国债再融资出现困难等，不排除市场还可能迎来新一轮 美元资产抛售潮。 当然，美国依然保有一些特别的竞争优势。硅谷科技集群贡献了全球40%的原创性技术创新，36万亿美 元的美国国债市场，其深度和流动性是其他资产均难以取代的。作为储备货币，美元参与了全球约90% 的外汇交易并占全球近60%的央行储备，美元霸权的根本一时还难以撼动。尽管如此，美国现政府带来 的巨大不确定性，以及美国经济中存在的结构性问题，都在侵蚀着美国的固有优势。制造业空心化导致 美贸易赤字常年维持在GDP的3%，联邦债务与GDP之比攀升至123%，这些数据折射出美国维护霸权的 成本已经过高并难以持续。尽管美国现政府在面临产业链断链、通胀重燃 ...

Core Viewpoint - Trump's challenge to the independence of the Federal Reserve (Fed) poses a significant risk to the credibility of the US dollar, potentially undermining its status as the world's reserve currency [2][14][17]. Group 1: Trump's Actions and Statements - Trump has openly criticized Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, suggesting he should resign and threatening to remove him if necessary [3][4]. - The conflict between the President and the Fed is not new, as historical tensions have existed since the Fed's inception [3][4]. - Trump's remarks have led to a decline in the dollar index, which has dropped approximately 9% since January 20, marking one of the worst performances for the dollar in the first 100 days of a presidency since 1973 [14][16]. Group 2: Historical Context of Fed Independence - The Fed was established in 1913 to prevent excessive concentration of power in Washington and to avoid control by Wall Street financial giants [6][7]. - The Fed's independence is crucial for maintaining the credibility of the dollar, as it allows for the formulation of monetary policy free from political influence [12][13][17].

Group 4: Market Reactions - Speculative traders are increasingly shorting the dollar, with short positions reaching approximately $10 billion, indicating a lack of confidence in the dollar's stability [16][14]. - The market's reaction to Trump's threats suggests a growing uncertainty regarding the Fed's ability to operate independently, which could have broader implications for global financial stability [18][19]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Analysts express concern that if the Fed's independence is compromised, it could lead to a structural shift in global asset allocation away from the dollar [17][20]. - The ongoing political pressure on the Fed may result in a prolonged period of uncertainty, affecting both domestic and international economic conditions [18][19].
