加密货币市场继续"大跳水"。 2月6日凌晨，加密货币市场整体暴跌，各主流加密货币纷纷跌破此前的低位。OKX数据显示，比特币 （BTC）价格24小时跌超10%，跌破6.1万美元，目前报6.05万美元；以太坊（ETH）价格目前跌近 9%，跌至1800美元左右；SOL价格跌超10%，跌至76美元左右。 就业数据的疲软，也使得交易员将美联储下一次降息的时间预期从7月提前至6月，并预计10月前将进行 第二次降息。 此前，美国总统特朗普也多次喊话要求降息。美国财长贝森特表示，如果美联储主席提名人凯文·沃什 （Kevin Warsh）未来未按总统意愿降息，总统是否想起诉他将由"总统本人决定"。沃什素来被认为 是"鹰派"人物，虽然他在降息议题上表达了认同特朗普的观点，但是他一直以来强调美联储应该"缩 表"。"降息+缩表"组合也成为市场关注的焦点。 加密货币市场的"牛市"，往往依赖宽松的货币政策。在美联储利率保持低位且持续"扩表"之际，大量资 金乐意涌入传统金融产品之外的股票、加密货币等高收益产品。当货币政策由"宽松预期"转向"路径博 弈"，加密货币市场对宏观信号的敏感度也随之被放大。 不止加密货币市场，美国三大股指2月5日全 ...

特约评论员熊夏柠 根据新华社，当地时间1月30日上午，美国总统特朗普提名美国联邦储备委员会前理事凯文·沃什 （Kevin Warsh）出任下一任美联储主席。在程序方面，如果提名能获得共和党控制的参议院确认，沃 什将会在现任美联储主席鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）5月任期结束后接任美联储主席。 以往华尔街的投资者和策略师认为沃什是"鹰派"，但其认为美联储应该降息的主张与特朗普一致。特朗 普选择沃什为美联储主席，应该说是其政策意图的体现。 沃什主张美联储降息，支持宽松的货币政策，特别是在当前美国通胀基本受控的情况下应该降息，这契 合特朗普屡次要求以低利率来刺激增长的目标。虽然沃什曾在奥巴马时期担任美联储理事，也一度被市 场解读为"鹰派"，但他对美联储的批评态度和货币政策主张，应该是其成为提名人选的重要原因之一。 出生于1970年的沃什，有着哈佛大学法学博士学位，曾在摩根士丹利担任高管，与华尔街关系密切，金 融实践经验丰富，经历过2008年全球金融危机期间的"洗礼"，当时他主张快速稳定市场。在35岁时他就 被任命为美联储理事，足以看出其在金融市场的深耕和历练颇为丰富。 加大流入中国市场，尤其是科技类与出口型企 ...
