年度必看发布会!鲍威尔面临一个比利率更重要的问题?
Jin Shi Shu Ju· 2025-07-28 13:22
尽管如此,分析师认为,一些关键问题仍未解决——包括美联储是否会隶属于白宫。 近期,美国总统特朗普因扬言要解雇美联储主席鲍威尔,并主动要求参观美联储总部正在进行的翻修工 程,将鲍威尔推向了风口浪尖。 然而,本周所有人的目光都将聚焦在鲍威尔身上,因为他将在周四凌晨召开个人新闻发布会,这在当前 的政治大戏中无疑是一场"必看"的电视节目。 即将召开的联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)会议对经济而言,其重要性并非特别高。劳动力市场表现稳 健,通胀也保持稳定,即便略高于美联储2%的目标。本次会议对于利率决定而言,也并非具有决定性 意义。市场普遍预计基准利率不会有任何变动。 然而,派珀·桑德勒(Piper Sandler)全球政策与全球资产配置主管本森·德拉姆(Benson Durham)表 示,在上周特朗普造访美联储后,这次会议感觉"至关重要"。 此次会议召开之际,特朗普已连续数周向鲍威尔和美联储施压,要求其降低利率,这令市场处于紧张状 态。特朗普曾考虑解雇鲍威尔,尽管他在造访美联储期间似乎放弃了这一立场。市场一直密切关注特朗 普对鲍威尔和美联储的态度——任何表明美联储丧失独立性的迹象,都可能震动经济并导致借贷成本上 升。 ...
国泰海通|宏观:美联储换主席:多大可能和影响
国泰海通证券研究· 2025-07-28 10:04
Core Viewpoint - The likelihood of Trump dismissing Powell is considered low due to the high difficulty, low reward, and significant risks involved. Trump is more likely to influence the Federal Reserve by announcing a successor in advance, but the impact on reshaping the Fed may be limited due to internal policy disagreements [1][3]. Group 1 - Trump's criticism of Powell reflects the spread of "fiscal anxiety," exacerbated by the passage of the "Big Beautiful Bill," which indicates a growing reliance on pro-cyclical deficits, leading to high debt issuance costs and declining long-term bond acceptance [1]. - Pressuring the Federal Reserve is viewed as a "damaging tactic" to address fiscal anxiety, which may have immediate effects but significant side effects, increasing the probability of a "triple whammy" scenario in the stock, bond, and currency markets if investors perceive threats to the Fed's independence and transparency [1]. - The recent stablecoin legislation aims to alleviate the Treasury's debt issuance pressure while stripping the Fed of its authority to issue digital currency, thereby creating a "shadow Fed" represented by stablecoin issuers, which expands the White House's control and regulatory scope over the money supply [1]. Group 2 - Historical experience shows that the credibility of the Federal Reserve in maintaining price stability is crucial. The case of Burns during Nixon's presidency illustrates the risks of political pressure leading to overly accommodative monetary policy, which can create long-term inflationary pressures [3]. - The loss of the Fed's independence and a "stop-and-go" approach to monetary policy could increase the risk of unanchored inflation expectations, making it costly to restore credibility once lost [3]. - The mechanisms designed to ensure the Fed's independence present three significant obstacles for Trump in achieving his rate cut goals [2][5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - Fundamentals: Last week, the US made progress in tariff trade, reaching tariff agreements with countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. China and the US will hold the third round of economic and trade consultations, and market risk sentiment has declined, weakening the safe - haven demand for precious metals. However, tariff trade policies still carry risks, leading to an oscillatory adjustment in precious metal prices. US President Trump pressured Fed Chair Powell to cut interest rates during a visit to the Fed building for renovation, which raised concerns about the Fed's independence. COMEX gold futures rose and then fell, while COMEX silver futures maintained an oscillatory trend [2]. - Capital: Last week, the inventories of COMEX gold and silver increased. Global gold reserves continued to rise, with the People's Bank of China increasing its gold holdings for the eighth consecutive month. The inflow of funds into gold and silver ETFs increased, and hedge funds increased their long - positions in gold and silver [2]. - Strategy: The price of Shanghai gold is bullish in the long - term, continuing to oscillate at a high level in the short - term. In the medium - term, it is recommended to hold long positions or buy low and sell high. Shanghai silver has a slight upward trend in the short - term, and it is advisable to look for long - entry opportunities. In the medium - term, it is recommended to hold long positions or buy when the price drops sharply to the lower edge of the oscillatory range [2]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - Key indicators' price changes: The spot price of London gold decreased by 0.35% to $3343.50 per ounce, COMEX gold futures dropped by 0.51% to $3338.50 per ounce, and the Shanghai gold main contract fell by 0.39% to 777.32 yuan per gram.

The 50% tariff on copper in the US may drive enterprises to use silver as a substitute, increasing silver demand [10]. - Price spreads between domestic and international markets: The price spreads of gold and silver between domestic and international markets increased compared to last week. Affected by the US tariff trade policy and the Fed's independence, precious metals showed an oscillatory trend [11]. 3.2 Macroeconomics - US dollar index: Trump's continuous pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates has raised concerns about the Fed's independence, causing a slight decline in the US dollar index, which supported the precious metal prices [14]. - US Treasury real yields: Last week, the real yield of the 5 - year US Treasury increased slightly, while that of the 10 - year US Treasury decreased. Affected by the changing expectations of US tariff policies and concerns about the Fed's independence, precious metal prices oscillated [17]. - Inflation and Fed's interest - rate cut expectations: In June, the US CPI increased by 2.7% year - on - year, higher than the previous value of 2.4% and the expected 2.6%. The core CPI increased by 2.9% year - on - year, higher than the previous value of 2.8% and slightly lower than the expected 3%. The impact of tariffs on commodity inflation has emerged, but the transmission to service inflation is not significant. The Fed will maintain a wait - and - see attitude in the short - term, and the market expects a 62.4% probability of an interest - rate cut in September [22]. - Key US economic data: - PMI: In June, the US ISM manufacturing PMI was 49, slightly higher than the expected 48.8, and the service PMI was 50.8, slightly higher than the expected 50.6 [25]. - Retail sales: In June, US retail sales increased by 0.6% month - on - month, reversing the decline in May.

Non - farm payrolls increased by 147,000, exceeding expectations, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. Last week, the number of initial jobless claims decreased by 4,000 to 217,000 [31]. - Fed's independence: Trump's visit to the Fed and pressure on Powell to cut interest rates, as well as a lawsuit against the Fed and the criticism from the US Treasury Secretary, have raised concerns about the Fed's independence [34]. - US tariff trade: The US has made progress in tariff trade, but the policy remains uncertain. The US has reached tariff agreements with some countries, and is approaching the August 1 tariff deadline. The 50% tariff on copper may bring positive factors to silver [34]. - Central bank gold purchases: 32% of central banks plan to increase their gold investments in the next 12 - 24 months. In the first quarter of 2025, global central banks net - purchased 244 tons of gold. The People's Bank of China has increased its gold holdings for eight consecutive months, which supports the price of gold in the long - term [35]. 3.3 Position Analysis - Hedge funds: As of the week ending July 22, 2025, CMX gold speculative net long positions increased by 39,900 lots to 253,000 lots, and CMX silver speculative net long positions increased by 12,000 lots to 60,600 lots [38]. - ETFs: As of July 25, 2025, the holdings of the SPDR Gold ETF increased by 13.47 tons to 957.09 tons, and the holdings of the SLV Silver ETF increased by 572.22 tons to 15,230.43 tons, indicating an accelerated inflow of funds into gold and silver ETFs [39]. 3.4 Other Elements - Gold and silver inventories: Last week, COMEX gold inventories were 37.7624 million ounces, a 1.53% increase from the previous week, and COMEX silver inventories were 500.3207 million ounces, a 0.62% increase. The 50% tariff on copper may drive up the price of silver due to its industrial demand [43]. - Gold and silver demand: In July 2025, global gold reserves increased by 31.55 tons to 36,305.84 tons, and China's gold reserves increased by 1.86 tons to 2,296.35 tons.

安全帽下的权力博弈:特朗普与鲍威尔的央行战争
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-27 16:23
2025 年 7 月 24 日,华盛顿美联储总部的翻新工地上,两顶白色安全帽在聚光灯下剧烈碰撞。唐纳德・特 朗普与杰罗姆・鲍威尔 —— 美国最有权势的政治人物与央行行长 —— 在全球媒体镜头前爆发罕见争吵。 当总统挥舞着工程造价单质问 "27 亿如何变成 31 亿" 时,鲍威尔的反驳声穿透了施工现场的噪音:"您把 五年前完工的马丁大楼也算进去了!" 这场看似琐碎的预算争执,实则揭开了美国货币政策独立性危机的 冰山一角。 一、施工现场的火药味:31 亿美元引发的信任崩塌 三、法律与权力的角力场 (一)数据背后的政治算计 特朗普在视察中掏出的文件显示,美联储总部翻修工程成本已从最初的 19 亿美元飙升至 31 亿美元。他指 责鲍威尔 "管理不善",并暗示这是美联储官僚主义的缩影。但鲍威尔当场揭穿了数据陷阱:特朗普将 2020 年完工的马丁大楼翻新费用重复计算,而当前工程实际超支仅 4 亿美元,主要用于保护具有历史意义 的花岗岩外墙。这种 "偷换概念" 的指控,暴露出特朗普试图通过预算争议削弱美联储公信力的深层意 图。 (二)舆论战的升级 此次对峙并非孤立事件。白宫管理和预算办公室主任拉塞尔・沃特早在 7 月 10 ...
