（原标题：阿根廷央行近六年来最大规模救市 三个交易日累计抛售11亿美元） 大家好，简单关注一则阿根廷救市的消息。 阿根廷央行近六年来最大规模救市 周五，阿根廷央行进行了近六年来最大规模的单日美元抛售，继续动用外汇储备支撑本币，以满足出于 政治不稳定担忧而强烈买入美元的机构投资者需求。 周五，在央行出手后，批发外汇市场的比索收于每美元1474.75，接近区间上限。 然而在平行汇率市场（外汇黑市）上，比索跌至历史新低，每美元1520，本周累计贬值逾6%。 自4月中旬与国际货币基金组织（IMF）达成200亿美元协议、外汇管制初步放松以来，央行此前一直未 入市干预。 分析师指出："按当前阿根廷央行卖汇节奏估算，选举前储备或减少约100亿美元——相当于IMF已拨付 资金的约70%。因此，在10月26日选举前放弃汇率区间机制的可能性正在上升。" 尽管央行公布的对外净国际储备为392.6亿美元，但分析人士称，初步官方数据表明可用于干预的净外 汇储备估计仅约60亿美元。 专家警告，持续抛售美元将加速消耗储备，危及短期债务偿付，并可能触发为弥补资金缺口而增加发行 本币债券。 本次最新干预规模为6.78亿美元，为2019年10月 ...

美国快要"破产"了。 8月12日，美国国债再创历史新高，总额突破至37万亿美元，即2024年全国GDP的1.27倍，意味着每个 美国人都背上了近11万美元的债务。 这可苦了英国、日本等大量持有美债的国家，一旦美国暴雷，他们手上那近万亿美元的欠条，可就一瞬 间沦为废纸了。 这时可能会有网友要问了，美国作为一个著名的往货币里"注水"国家，为何不直接通过印钞把这37万美 元平了呢？ 美元暴雷倒计时 想搞清楚一个国家的国债为何会到这个地步，就要从它的历史说起。 二战刚结束的那段时间，美元可是相当的坚挺。 1944年，布雷顿森林体系确立了美元与黄金挂钩的地位，美国正式掌控全球货币命脉。 但1971年尼克松关闭黄金兑换窗口后，美元转而与石油绑定，通过石油美元循环维持霸权。 这种信用货币体系的本质，是美国以国家信用为抵押向全球融资。 这是什么概念？ 以中国的2024年GDP为例，约为18.9万亿美元，相当于14亿国人足足干700多天才能把这坑给填平了。 然而，2008年金融危机后，美国债务规模开始失控。 从2017年的20万亿美元到2022年的30万亿美元，用了五年时间，而从34万亿到37万亿，仅用了19个月。 2024财 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant changes in the global order due to the convergence of the "Great Debt Cycle" and "Five Forces," as articulated by Ray Dalio in his new book "Why Nations Fail: The Great Cycle" [1][3]. Group 1: Great Debt Cycle - The Great Debt Cycle typically spans about 80 years, leading to significant debt bubbles and their eventual bursts [6][9]. - The cycle consists of five stages: 1.
