美国货币市场本周传递出一个耐人寻味的信号：联邦基金利率的有效值在周一小幅抬升至4.09%，较前 一日增加1个基点。这一水平仍位于美联储设定的4%至4.25%区间内，但考虑到该利率在过去两年几乎 始终停留在区间下限，此次上扬更像是一种市场"体温升高"的表现，引发了外界对流动性环境微妙变化 的关注。 从结构上看，利率的这一异动并非孤立事件。多家研究机构早前就提出警示：银行体系的超额准备金正 在以快于预期的速度消耗，尤其是外国金融机构的资金撤离更加明显。这意味着市场缓冲垫正在变薄， 资金价格因而更容易受到波动牵引。纽约联储的数据也印证了这种担忧——有效利率上行之后，联邦基 金期货价格立刻承压，9月份合约成交量在周二接近30万手，显示资金市场迅速作出反应。 市场人士普遍将此解读为"压力测试"的早期信号。道明证券的利率策略主管GennadiyGoldberg指出，这 是本轮周期中首次出现有效利率抬升，暗示短端市场的敏感度在上升。当前储备尚未出现严重紧缺，但 这种微小变化本身反映了市场对潜在流动性压力的更高暴露度，美联储在后续操作中必须予以重视。 需要关注的是，联邦基金市场的参与格局早已发生转变。传统上，商业银行是该市场 ...

以明星分析师威尔逊（Michael Wilson）为首的大摩美股策略师团队发布报告称，当前美国经济或许并 不需要如此大幅度降息。"我们的观点始终一致，即'滚动式衰退'已随着特朗普政府的政策软化而终 结，目前经济正处于向早期周期 / 滚动式复苏过渡的阶段，企业盈利增长有望超出预期。" 宽松预期高涨下，流动性压力或成为市场关键风险。 摩根士丹利认为，如果美联储的行动未能达到投资者预期，市场或面临动荡风险。 周一，美国三大股指再创历史新高。截至收盘，标普500指数已经较4月初低点反弹超30%，一方面这是 市场对白宫政策不确定性的担忧有所弱化，另一方面源于投资者对人工智能热潮的乐观情绪持续升温。 与此同时，新一轮更宽松的货币政策环境也起到了助推作用。上周，美联储宣布重启降息。利率市场定 价显示，今年美联储可能将降息50个基点，明年底联邦基金利率水平或降至3%左右。 威尔逊表示，市场面临的风险在于：若美联储认识到当前经济 "滚动式复苏" 的动态特征，并判定无须 如此大幅度降息，即便从经济层面看这可能是正确决策，但市场此前已消化了更多降息预期，因此从市 场角度而言，这一结果将令人失望，且可能阻碍一轮完整的早期周期板块轮动 ...
