昨天晚上，我在杭州跟两位老朋友吃饭，他们都在今年的美股市场赚了不少钱，相谈甚欢。散席前，我 提了一个问题："如果有一个什么黑天鹅事件，让当前的美股乃至全球资本市场的牛市中断乃至彻底熄 火，那最有可能是什么事件？" 对方列举了一连串"不会出现这种事件"的理由：美国经济还比较强劲，暂时应该不会再爆发大规模局部 战争，美股估值虽高但还没有高到离谱，等等。不过，大家最后还是达成了共识——如果真有什么黑天 鹅，第一是明年中期选举前夕美国内部的一系列政治操作，第二就是全球贸易摩擦再次升温。中期选举 还很遥远，按照惯例，最早也得到明年夏天才会整活；而贸易摩擦随时可能归来。 散席之后仅仅两个多小时，美股就暴跌了。所有正在交易的风险资产几乎全部大跌。起因竟然就是贸易 摩擦的再度升温！今年4月发生的事情让大家记忆犹新，这次的反应似乎不如上次那么极端，但仍然是 最近一段时间最极端的。 资本市场最需要的东西，第一是稳定，第二是增长。如果能够稳定地增长，那就再好不过——那就是最 近三年美国科技巨头交出的答卷。而全球范围的贸易摩擦乃至地缘政治格局紧张，首先会严重威胁稳 定，其次会严重拖累增长。美国经济最近几个月已经出现了一些疲软的迹象， ...

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of rejecting linear extrapolation in understanding the complexities of Trump's political maneuvers, suggesting that while his path to achieving goals is dynamic, the underlying demands remain static, leading to potential chaos [1][3]. Group 1: Economic Implications - The passage of the OBBB Act reflects Trump's stronger control over domestic affairs and may lead to a resurgence in his foreign policy assertiveness, increasing the risk of backlash from TACO [3][4]. - The U.S. economy may face three significant "gray rhino events" in the second half of 2025: a clear trend towards fiscal contraction post-OBBB Act, a more pragmatic and aggressive approach to tariffs and international relations, and confusion stemming from differing monetary policy stances between the old and new Federal Reserve chairs [4][5]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy - Following the implementation of the OBBB Act, the U.S. fiscal landscape is expected to shift towards more contractionary measures, with a pressing need for budget cuts due to rising deficit pressures [5][11]. - Trump's approach to budget cuts is notably aggressive, particularly in reducing SNAP benefits, which may impact traditional red states and politically sensitive swing states [5][11]. Group 3: Trade and International Relations - Trump's renewed focus on tariffs and international relations is characterized as more aggressive and pragmatic, necessitating non-U.S. economies to reassess their negotiation strategies [11][12]. - The tariff structure for various countries under the "Liberation Day" initiative indicates a significant shift in trade dynamics, with countries like Japan and South Korea being primary targets for tariff adjustments [12][13]. Group 4: Federal Reserve Dynamics - The ongoing conflict between the old and new Federal Reserve chairs is likely to create market confusion, with the potential for the "shadow Fed chair" to gain market influence [14][15]. - The political implications of the Federal Reserve's actions are expected to intertwine with economic conditions, particularly as the new chair's stance may diverge significantly from the current chair's policies [17][19].

Report Summary 1. Core View - In H2 2025, there are three "gray rhino events" in the United States: the U.S. fiscal policy will focus on spending cuts after the implementation of the Big Beautiful Act; the backlash risk of TACO is increasing due to Trump's more "pragmatic and radical" approach to foreign tariffs and international relations; the difference in the attitude towards interest rate cuts between the new and old Federal Reserve chairmen may cause chaos, and the shadow Fed chairman may gain "market dominance" [2][5]. 2. Summary by Section Fiscal Policy - More Focus on Spending Cuts - After the implementation of the Big Beautiful Act, the new fiscal increment in the United States is limited, and future fiscal spending will be more inclined to make cuts. The demand for fiscal contraction will become more urgent, and the U.S. may enter a stage of spending - cut atmosphere, including exploring new spending - cut spaces and more "effective and pre - emptive" actions [8]. - Trump does not use the OBBB Act as a political tool in SNAP welfare cuts, being more radical in traditional red states and swing states with higher political costs. The "legacy" of DOGE 1.0, such as the U.S. State Department's lay - off plan and asset disposal of federal agency buildings, is still having an impact. The OBBB Act is more about "tax cuts" rather than direct "transfer payments", and its stimulus effect will be further discounted if the economy weakens [8][11]. International Relations - Increased TACO Backlash Risk - After the OBBB Act was passed in Congress on July 4th, Trump will turn to issues related to the U.S.'s long - term international competitiveness, such as tariffs and military protection fees. He will be more "radical and pragmatic" in foreign relations, and every non - U.S. economy needs to re - evaluate its negotiation chips. Hard power, such as China's advantage in the supply of strategic resources like rare earths and metal minerals, is more important, while the bargaining power of soft power is declining [16]. - The TACO backlash risk is increasing, with more "Liberation Days", more frequent "TACO" events, and greater market volatility. Trump's actions in international affairs may be restricted by the political views of other countries' voters, and the U.S. political system may also become an obstacle for him. The fragility of TACO should be emphasized [16][18]. Monetary Policy - Conflict between New and Old Fed Chairmen - As Powell will step down as Fed chairman in May 2026, if he also resigns as a governor, at least four out of seven Fed governors may support Trump's monetary policy stance. The difference in the statements of the new and old Fed chairmen on monetary policy will be magnified, and the impact on the U.S. may be more severe than Liberation Day 1.0, potentially leading to a stock - bond - exchange triple - kill and spill - over effects [19]. - The Fed's decisions are difficult to be decoupled from politics, especially the interest rate cut decision. The new and old Fed chairmen have different stances. After the debt ceiling is resolved, the TGA account needs to be replenished with about $500 billion through short - term debt issuance, which will increase the demand for Fed interest rate cuts. The short - term interest rate cut path is complex, and in the medium term, fiscal dominance based on Trump's will may become a regular disturbance [19][21][25].
