在国际风云变幻莫测的背景下，新加坡国务资政李显龙在备受瞩目的"2026年区域展望论坛"上发表了一番引人深思的讲话，犹如一剂清醒剂，为喧嚣的地缘 政治降温。这位在国际舞台上历经数十载的资深政治家，以直率的语言揭示了美国看似强硬姿态下的潜在困境。 李显龙的判断一针见血：未来两三年内，中美都不愿承受巨大的经济代价，也不希望卷入冲突。 换言之，面对实力日渐强大的中国，美国政府在彻底决裂 一事上，显得顾虑重重，缺乏魄力。 要理解这一判断，我们需要回顾2025年，那一年中美经贸关系经历了前所未有的"压力测试"。 美国政府试图通过挥舞"对等关税"的大棒，对中国极限施 压，妄图迫使全球供应链与中国脱钩。华盛顿当时弥漫着一种盲目乐观的氛围，政客们在国会山夸夸其谈，仿佛只要关税政策一实施，中国的工厂就会人去 楼空，美国衰落的工业区就能重现昔日辉煌。 然而，现实却给那些狂妄自大的人们泼了一盆冷水。李显龙在论坛上的发言，正是基于对2025年局势的深刻反思。美国的高关税政策并未如预期般摧垮中国 制造，反而引发了美国国内严重的通货膨胀。物价飞涨，供应链紊乱，最终为此买单的，却是美国的普通民众。这种"搬起石头砸自己的脚"的行为，迫使白 宫 ...

弱美元降息指引美股风险，强美元降息指引全球性风险 20251202 美元降息对美股和全球流动性有何影响？ 美元降息通常会导致美股下跌，并引发全球流动性风险。历史上，美国在经济 下行周期中通过降息来刺激经济，但这次情况有所不同。过去的全球化框架下， 美国通过高回报率的资本输出和低成本制造业进口，形成了贸易逆差和资本顺 差的循环。这一循环使得美国能够持续扩张信用，推动经济增长。然而，当前 美国面临的问题是美元信用出现问题，美债发行困难。 在过去，当全球经济总 量进入下行周期时，美国的经济表现相对较好，因为其上市公司的利润主要依 赖于垄断定价，而非总量需求。因此，当其他国家面临库存、产能和价格下行 周期时，美国反而吸引了更多资本流入美元和美债。然而，现在由于美元信用 问题，美元走弱，美债发行困难，这一传统循环难以继续。 特朗普时期强调 AI 发展和降低利率的政策，短期内可能有效，但长期来 看可能导致金融市场不稳定，再工业化需要强劲的政府支持。 应付利息在美国财政支出中占比非常高，使得国债发行变得更加困难， 即使美国试图通过降息来刺激需求，也难以实现预期效果，从而导致美 股表现不佳。 为什么现在若美元降息，美股反而会 ...
