Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-08-04 01:06
Economic Overview - The U.S. GDP growth rate for Q2 2025 was reported at 3.0%, significantly exceeding the mainstream forecast of 2.5%, but this figure is misleading due to a sharp 30.3% drop in imports, which artificially inflated the GDP data [1] - The core indicator of domestic private final purchases has seen a decline in annual growth rate from 2.7% last year to 1.2%, indicating underlying economic weakness despite the seemingly strong GDP figure [1] Consumer Behavior - Actual personal consumption growth increased from 0.5% in Q1 to 1.4% in Q2, but this is still below last year's robust performance, with service consumption remaining weak, only slightly recovering by 1.1% [3] - Despite acceptable income and savings levels, consumer and investor sentiment is cautious due to various uncertainties, leading to a reluctance to increase spending [5] Investment Trends - Non-residential fixed investment growth has significantly slowed, with construction investment plummeting by 10.3% in Q2 following a 2.4% decline in Q1, while residential investment also fell by 4.6% [5] - Inventory changes further illustrate economic volatility, with inventory contributing 2.6 percentage points to GDP growth in Q1 but detracting 3.2 percentage points in Q2 [6] Inflation and Economic Dynamics - The core PCE price index rose to 2.54% in Q2, exceeding market expectations, which has led to more conservative spending and investment behaviors among households and businesses [8] - The economic landscape in the first half of 2025 has been characterized by significant fluctuations, with contrasting trends in imports and inventory affecting market sentiment and analyst predictions [8] Emerging Sectors - Surprisingly, sectors such as AI and data centers have not emerged as engines of economic growth, with reduced investments in power plants and a slowdown in data center and IT investments [9] Employment and Income Relevance - For the general public, GDP figures are less relevant than personal employment and income, as the true impact of economic conditions is reflected in daily life [11]

非农疲软下的美债走高与政策博弈
Hua Tai Qi Huo· 2025-08-03 09:00
Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The Fed's meeting signaled policy divergence, making the short - term interest - rate cut path uncertain. After the weak non - farm employment data on August 1st, the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September increased, with the probability of a 25bp cut exceeding 85%. The overall labor market showed structural weakness, and after the data release, the US Treasury yields declined across the board [12]. - The US Treasury maintains a stable long - and medium - term bond issuance rhythm, but the increase in the proportion of short - term bonds has a greater impact on liquidity. The market sentiment swings between "economic recession" and "policy game", and the short - term volatility of US Treasury assets has increased. It is expected that the US Treasury market will face intensified fluctuations around September [13][16]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. US Treasury Yield Review - As of August 1st, the 10 - year US Treasury yield dropped 21bp in two weeks, falling to 4.23%. Compared with two weeks ago, the 2 - year yield decreased by 19bp, and the 30 - year yield dropped 19bp [5]. 2. US Treasury Market Changes - In actual bond issuance, the duration of US Treasury issuance declined slightly in late July, with 68.44 billion for 2 - year, 69.88 billion for 5 - year, and 43.92 billion for 7 - year bonds. The US had a fiscal surplus of 27.01 billion dollars in June, and the 12 - month cumulative deficit slightly declined to 1.90 trillion dollars [5]. 3. Derivatives Market Structure - The net short position in US Treasury futures decreased slightly. As of July 29th, the net short positions of speculators, leveraged funds, asset management companies, and primary dealers rose to 5.681 million lots. The federal funds rate futures market shifted from a net long to a net short position of - 0.13 million lots, reflecting an increased demand for hedging against the expected decline in interest rates [5]. 4. US Dollar Liquidity and US Economy - **Monetary Policy**: In July 2025, the Fed kept the federal funds rate between 4.25% and 4.50%, in line with market expectations. The policy statement recognized a slowdown in economic activity in the first half of the year, and there was a divergence of opinions within the Fed, with two governors advocating a 25 - basis - point rate cut being rejected [6]. - **Fiscal Policy**: As of July 30th, the US Treasury's TGA deposit balance increased by 107.361 billion dollars in two weeks, and the Fed's reverse repurchase tool contracted by 49 billion dollars in two weeks, leading to uncertainty in the short - term liquidity buffer space [6]. - **Economic Situation**: As of July 26th, the Fed's weekly economic indicator was 2.56 (2.34 two weeks ago), indicating a short - term improvement in the economy after stability [6]. 5. US Treasury Yield Trends - The Fed's meeting signaled policy divergence, and the short - term rate - cut path is uncertain. After the weak non - farm employment data on August 1st, the market's expectation of a September rate cut increased, and the US Treasury yields declined across the board, with the 2 - year yield dropping 25bp in a single day [12]. 6. US Treasury Issuance Policy - The US Treasury maintains a stable long - and medium - term bond issuance rhythm but increases the proportion of short - term bonds. The new refinancing plan is 125 billion dollars, with an increase in short - term Treasury issuance and a decrease in long - and medium - term bonds. Relying more on short - term debt financing may increase fiscal financing volatility and weaken the efficiency of monetary policy transmission [13].
洪灝:特朗普怒斩局座——是开启暴跌,还是。。?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-08-03 07:28
原创 经济学家洪灝 洪灝的宏观策略 2025年08月02日 市场质疑统计数据的声音四起。很多人认为出现如此大的就业数据下修,那么一定是统计局局长水平不够,或者是就业数据被掺水了,并据此而 对于特朗普的斩首行动拍手称快。如果各位还记得,在不到一年前,2024年的9月大选前,特朗普的手下干将Rubio认为当时的就业数据显著地低 估了拜登时期经济困难的状况。也就是说,卢比奥不到一年前认为美国的就业数据太高了,美化了拜登的执政政绩。那么,现在特朗普又认为就 业数据太低了,并以此为借口炒掉了劳力统计局局长,不免有选择性执法之嫌。顺便说一下,这位局长是拜登任命的。 上一次美国劳动统计局局长被炒,还是1932年大萧条时期。当时由于局长不同意胡佛的经济政策,胡佛就把他炒了,而大萧条继续。 特朗普不仅仅炒掉了局座,他还在自己的社交媒体上继续对于美联储主席鲍威尔攻击施压。这是过去几年来,特朗普在自己的社交媒体上攻击鲍 威尔最频繁的一次,并在上周实地视察了美联储斥资30亿美元的装修工程,当面施压。特朗普认为鲍威尔早就应该降息,但补充说不"会马上炒掉 鲍威尔",然后又加了一句"如果不是担心市场波动,早就把他炒了"。随后,媒体又爆出了 ...
