装修预算引发危机,鲍威尔的生死劫,与美联储未来
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-15 06:38
文︱陆弃 美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的权力宝座,眼下正陷入前所未有的政治风暴。这场风暴既有特朗普政府掀起的政治清算,也掺杂着美国体制性金融焦虑的集中 爆发。从"装修25亿美元超支"到"干预货币政策失职",美国最高金融机构的掌门人,正站在风口浪尖——不是因为通胀失控,不是因为加息过快,而是因为 一栋大楼的重修预算。 特朗普的表态不再藏着掖着。他直接在军用基地公开宣称鲍威尔"应当辞职",称其"对这个国家非常不好",这类措辞从一国总统口中说出,本身就是一次政 治鞭尸。而更具杀伤力的,是白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈西特随后在全国电视节目上放出的信号:如果调查证据确凿,总统完全有权解雇美联储主 席。这不仅打破了美国联邦储备制度的传统中立性底线,更象征着白宫对"货币政独立"的最后一击。 25亿美元的装修预算,成了压垮鲍威尔的"黄金稻草"。这不是一个随口而出的数字,它背后代表的是华盛顿政治机器对于"合法性"的又一次挑衅。 白宫预 算办公室主任沃特的批评极具煽动性,他用"浮夸"、"浪费"、"贪婪"这样的形容词,将一个本应技术性讨论的预算问题拉入道德审判的场域。在当前美国经 济结构深陷选战冲突、民生焦虑与债务激增的背景下,这种 ...

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The July 31st hearing of the US Federal Appellate Court may set the tone for subsequent tariff frictions. If the court does not support the new tariff policy, more trading partners may announce counter - measures, causing greater chaos in the US financial market. If it supports, the market may be relatively calm. Concerns about stagflation risks and trading partners selling US Treasuries are the biggest risk points in the US financial market [2][10]. - China's "anti - involution" initiative will ease the inertia of low inflation. Since October 2022, China's PPI has declined year - on - year for 33 consecutive months, while CPI has stabilized. The downstream price trend supports the upstream to improve quality and stabilize prices through "anti - involution", promoting the narrowing of the PPI decline [2][15]. - The producer price index for means of production continued to rebound. From July 7th to 12th, 2025, the average wholesale price of pork and the Shandong vegetable wholesale price index increased week - on - week, while the edible agricultural product price index remained flat week - on - week. The prices of Brent and WTI crude oil futures increased, while the prices of LME copper and aluminum decreased. The producer price index for means of production increased 0.60% week - on - week and decreased 8.01% year - on - year in the week of July 4th [2]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 High - Frequency Data Panoramic Scan - The US Federal Appellate Court hearing on July 31st may determine the direction of subsequent tariff frictions. The US government's tariff policy has a significant impact on the US financial market, especially on US Treasuries and the US dollar exchange rate. Concerns about stagflation and trading partners selling US Treasuries are major risks [10][11]. - Trump's pressure on Fed Chairman Powell exacerbates market concerns about the independence of US monetary policy. However, the uncertainty of US inflation amplified by tariffs will not fundamentally change due to the change of the Fed Chairman [13]. - China's "anti - involution" initiative can help ease the inertia of low inflation. The decline in PPI may narrow, and its rebound amplitude may depend on the stabilization of real estate and commodity export prices [15]. 3.2 High - Frequency Data and Comparison of Important Macroeconomic Indicators' Trends No specific content is summarized for this part as the text mainly lists the chart names. 3.3 Important High - Frequency Indicators in the US and Europe No specific content is summarized for this part as the text mainly lists the chart names. 3.4 Seasonal Trends of High - Frequency Data No specific content is summarized for this part as the text mainly lists the chart names. 3.5 High - Frequency Traffic Data in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen No specific content is summarized for this part as the text mainly lists the chart names.
张明: 美元指数大概率步入较长下行期

Core Viewpoint - The future trend of the US dollar index is likely to be a downward fluctuation, which may lead to a stable or rising trend in the RMB to USD exchange rate, benefiting China's cross-border capital flow and the internationalization of the RMB [2][11]. Group 1: Historical Analysis of the US Dollar Index - Since 1971, the US dollar index has experienced three long cycles of decline followed by rise, with significant percentage changes in each cycle [2][5]. - The first cycle saw a decline from 120.5 to 82.1 (31.9% drop) and a rise to 164.7 (100.6% increase) [2]. - The second cycle had a decline from 164.7 to 78.3 (52.5% drop) and a rise to 120.9 (54.4% increase) [2]. - The third cycle experienced a decline from 120.9 to 71.3 (41.0% drop) and a rise to 114.1 (60.0% increase) [2]. Group 2: Current Dollar Index Trends - From September 2022 to June 2025, the dollar index is projected to decline from 114.1 to 96.9, a decrease of 15.1% [4]. - The end of the previous Federal Reserve interest rate hike cycle and the beginning of a rate cut cycle in September 2024 suggest a new long-term downward trend for the dollar index [4]. Group 3: Characteristics of Dollar Index Cycles - The highest and lowest points of the dollar index in the three cycles show a gradual downward trend, indicating a weakening of the US economic advantage relative to other developed countries [5]. - The duration of the cycles has been increasing, with the downward phases lasting around 7-8 years and the upward phases extending significantly [5]. - The relationship between the dollar index and interest rates has changed, with recent trends showing a lower correlation between the two [6]. Group 4: Future Predictions for the Dollar Index - The dollar index is expected to continue a downward trend for an extended period, potentially lasting another 6-7 years [10]. - The lowest point of the current downward cycle may fall below the previous cycle's low of 71.3, but it is unlikely to drop below 80 due to issues in other developed economies [10]. - The correlation between the dollar index and US interest rates may remain low, impacting the RMB to USD exchange rate positively [11].
谁将影响全球最重要的利率?贝森特“夺权”鲍威尔
华尔街见闻· 2025-07-04 09:56
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury's strategy to increase short-term bond issuance is significantly undermining the Federal Reserve's independence, effectively shifting monetary policy authority to the Treasury [1][2][16]. Group 1: Short-term Debt Issuance and Inflation - The Treasury's shift towards more short-term debt issuance is expected to stimulate risk asset prices further away from long-term fair value and structurally raise inflation levels [2][3]. - The increase in short-term Treasury issuance is likely to become a structural factor driving inflation, as Treasury bills (with maturities under one year) are more "monetary" compared to long-term bonds [3][6]. - Historical data indicates that changes in the proportion of Treasury bills in total outstanding debt often precede long-term inflation trends, suggesting a causal relationship rather than mere correlation [3][6]. Group 2: Market Liquidity and Short-term Bonds - The explosive growth of the repurchase market has amplified the impact of short-term debt, as improved clearing mechanisms and increased liquidity make repurchase transactions resemble money [9]. - The issuance strategy of short-term bonds has distinct effects on market liquidity; a high net bond issuance relative to the fiscal deficit often leads to market troubles, as seen in the 2022 bear market [10]. - Increased issuance of short-term Treasury bonds correlates positively with the growth of Federal Reserve reserves, particularly post-pandemic, while long-term bond issuance tends to have the opposite effect [10]. Group 3: Policy Dilemmas for the Federal Reserve - The combination of irrational asset price growth, high consumer inflation, and substantial short-term debt presents a challenging policy dilemma for the Federal Reserve [14][15]. - In an economy burdened with significant short-term debt, raising interest rates would almost immediately translate into fiscal tightening due to soaring government borrowing costs [15][16]. - Both the Federal Reserve and the Treasury will face immense pressure to ease policies to counteract these effects, ultimately benefiting inflation [16]. Group 4: Long-term Implications - The market's accustomed independence of monetary policy will be significantly compromised, especially before the next Federal Reserve chair takes office, who may lean towards a dovish stance [17]. - The transition towards a Treasury-dominated monetary policy will have profound long-term effects, including potential depreciation of the dollar and steeper yield curves, leading to higher long-term financing costs [17][18]. - The likelihood of reintroducing policy tools such as quantitative easing and yield curve control to artificially suppress long-term yields will increase, potentially marking a "victory" for the Treasury [18][19].
君諾外匯:鲍威尔去留悬念搅动美联储主席角逐,特朗普遭遇换帅难题
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-03 02:41
鲍威尔的态度成为这场风波的核心悬念。他多次拒绝透露,在明年 5 月四年主席任期届满后,是选择卸任,还是继续留任美联储理事会。从制度层面看,鲍 威尔在技术上完全可以担任理事直至 2028 年 1 月任期结束。这种不确定性迫使政府官员不得不未雨绸缪,为美联储主席继任者制定多套备选方案。而特朗 普的目标十分明确,他迫切希望找到一位能够坚定支持其经济议程的美联储主席,试图将货币政策纳入自己的施政轨道。 特朗普曾在周二自信满满地宣称,自己心中已有 "两三个顶级人选" 可能接替鲍威尔,但却对具体姓名讳莫如深。更具戏剧性的是,据知情人士透露,最近 几周,特朗普的顾问甚至脑洞大开,与他讨论过让贝森特同时担任财政部长和美联储主席的可能性。这一设想如若成真,将彻底打破自 1935 年以来两项职 务分立的传统,在金融界和政界引发强烈震动。不过,白宫官员迅速出面辟谣,坚称相关报道是 "彻头彻尾的假新闻",财政部发言人也引用贝森特本人的 表态,称其对现职颇为满意。 Juno markets发现当美国总统特朗普将目光聚焦于美联储主席的人选更替时,一场充满火药味的政治与经济博弈在华盛顿悄然上演。特朗普及其顾问团队试 图为美联储寻找新舵手, ...
必须继续借旧换新,否则大家就别玩了,特朗普向美联储主席发“最后通牒”
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-06-30 04:22
Group 1 - The current economic situation in the U.S. is described as "very, very bad," with President Trump expressing anxiety and calling for immediate interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve to lower government borrowing costs [1] - Trump is focusing on tariff policies to alleviate fiscal pressure, proposing a 10% tariff on all imports, which could generate over $400 billion in government revenue and significantly reduce the $1.83 trillion fiscal deficit [3] - The proposed tariffs are seen as a core strategy for the Trump administration to increase revenue, with the 10% tariff rate becoming a key indicator of his economic policy [3] Group 2 - Trump's tariff plan faces multiple challenges, including the Federal Reserve's commitment to independent monetary policy and bipartisan criticism regarding inflation risks and potential global trade retaliation [4] - Analysts suggest that while Trump's tariff strategy may boost fiscal revenue in the short term, it could lead to higher domestic prices, weaken corporate competitiveness, and provoke retaliation from trade partners, exacerbating the current economic imbalance [6] - The U.S. economy is currently in a "high debt, high deficit, low growth" predicament, and pushing for a tariff war may further complicate economic stability, with significant uncertainty about the future direction of the economy [6]
鲍威尔国会表态,美联储观望关税冲击,特朗普心急如焚
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-06-27 03:10
Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, emphasizes its independence from political pressures, particularly in response to President Trump's calls for rapid interest rate cuts, opting instead for a patient approach to assess the economic impact of tariff policies [1][3][4]. Group 1: Economic Environment - Trump's high tariff policies aim to reshape U.S. manufacturing and reduce trade deficits but have led to increased costs for consumers and businesses, contributing to inflationary pressures [3][6]. - The current U.S. economy appears stable, with inflation rising but not yet spiraling out of control, as the Federal Reserve maintains a high benchmark interest rate of 4.25% to 4.50% since December [3][6]. - Powell's focus on preventing temporary price spikes from becoming sustained inflation reflects the Fed's role as a guardian of monetary policy [3][4]. Group 2: Political Dynamics - Trump's public pressure on Powell for interest rate cuts is seen as a political maneuver to boost his support among voters, risking economic overheating and potential crises [4][9]. - The Fed's independence is crucial for avoiding short-term political pressures that could destabilize the economy, with Powell's stance serving as a model for global economic management [7][9]. Group 3: Global Implications - The interconnectedness of the global economy means that U.S. policy decisions, such as interest rate changes, can have far-reaching effects, potentially destabilizing financial markets if not handled cautiously [6][10]. - Powell's cautious approach is viewed as stabilizing for global markets amid rising geopolitical risks and trade tensions, helping to maintain the dollar's status as a global reserve currency [6][10]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Upcoming economic data, including employment, manufacturing, consumer confidence, and inflation indicators, will significantly influence the Fed's decision-making process [9][10]. - The ability of Powell and the Fed to maintain policy independence and rationality will be critical for both U.S. and global economic stability moving forward [9][10].
鲍威尔国会山论战:顶住降息呼声,直面中东风暴与政治博弈
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-06-24 00:54
Group 1 - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will testify before Congress, defending the "wait-and-see" approach to interest rates amid geopolitical tensions and pressure from President Trump for rate cuts [1][2] - President Trump criticized Powell's decision not to cut rates, calling it "stupid" and claiming that high rates cost the U.S. thousands of billions annually, while Europe has already implemented multiple rate cuts [1][2] - The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate target range at 4.25%-4.5%, acknowledging steady economic expansion and low unemployment, while slightly adjusting its description of the unemployment rate [2] Group 2 - Powell's regulatory stance is under scrutiny, with proposals to eliminate the "supplementary leverage ratio," which could weaken banks' risk resilience but is seen by the Trump administration as an economic stimulus tool [3] - A controversial proposal by Senator Ted Cruz to prohibit the Fed from paying interest on bank reserves could save the federal government approximately $1.1 trillion over ten years, but economists warn it may destabilize the financial system [3] - The upcoming testimony is viewed as a critical test of the Federal Reserve's independence and policy wisdom, with potential impacts on global markets, including the dollar, U.S. Treasury yields, and gold prices [3]
谁是下任美联储主席
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-06-14 07:54
Core Viewpoint - The upcoming end of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's term in June 2024 is creating political pressure from the White House, particularly from President Trump and Vice President Vance, who are advocating for interest rate cuts [1][2][3]. Group 1: Political Pressure on Powell - President Trump and Vice President Vance have been urging the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, with Trump criticizing Powell's performance and suggesting that the Fed is lagging behind other central banks [2][3]. - The U.S. federal debt has surpassed $36 trillion, leading to annual interest payments of $1.2 trillion, making interest rate cuts an appealing option to alleviate fiscal pressure [2]. Group 2: Succession Candidates - The Trump administration is reportedly considering appointing a "shadow chairman" to influence market expectations before Powell's term ends, with four main candidates being discussed: Bessent, Kevin Warsh, Christopher Waller, and Kevin Hassett [4][5]. - Bessent is viewed as a frontrunner due to his close ties to Trump and understanding of his economic agenda, although his close relationship with the White House may compromise the Fed's independence [5][6]. - Warsh, a former Fed governor, has a hawkish stance that may conflict with Trump's desire for rate cuts, while Waller is seen as a potential compromise candidate who understands Fed operations but lacks White House favor [6]. Group 3: Implications for Monetary Policy - The new chairman will face challenges in balancing political pressures for rate cuts with the need to maintain the Fed's credibility, especially in light of rising inflation expectations [6]. - The debate over the next Fed chair underscores the ongoing tension between maintaining the Fed's independence and responding to political demands, which could shape the future direction of U.S. monetary policy [1][6].
