特朗普对美元主导地位的根本基础的侵蚀，可能是一个非常缓慢、长期的过程，但它仍然让参与者感到 沉重。 2025年末，美元指数即将录得2017年以来最大的年度跌幅。 结合衍生品市场情况，市场预计，明年伴随美联储继续降息、特朗普干预美联储等因素，美元还将继续 走弱。 8年来最差年度走势 美联储明年将再次降息，而包括欧洲央行在内的其他主要央行将保持利率水平不变，甚至加息。荷兰国 际集团（ING）首席国际经济学家奈特利（James Knightley）表示，"就全球央行而言，美联储正在逆势 而行 ，它仍处于宽松状态。如此的货币政策前景分化，将推动美元继续走低。" 交易员预计，到2026年底，美联储将降息两到三个25个基点。相比之下，欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉 加德本月表示，"所有选择都应该摆在桌面上"，因为央行保持利率不变，但提高了增长和通胀预测。华 尔街投行们预计，到2026年底，欧元将走强至1.20美元，英镑将从目前的1.33美元升至1.36美元。 由于美元仍然是世界主导货币之一，美元疲软表现对企业、投资者和全球央行都有影响。比如，美元今 年的疲软对美国出口商来说是一个利好，但对许多在美国销售的欧洲企业来说是一种拖 ...

12月19日，在华尔街见闻和中欧国际工商学院联合主办的「Alpha峰会」上，Clocktower首席策略师王凯文发表题为《地缘宏观范式迁移下的全球 资产再配置》的演讲。 他表示，美国新版《国家安全战略》是一份由前对冲基金研究主管撰写的"重磅文件"，首次官方承认美国单极霸权、自由国际主义及新保守主义 同时"死亡"，标志着美国进行战略收缩，并接受多极化与势力范围现实。这一根本性地缘转变，正通过"离岸平衡"策略、传统盟友恐慌性财政扩 张、与全球人口结构变化导致的"储蓄干涸"相结合，重塑全球宏观与资产定价逻辑。 他认为，美元已步入史上幅度最大的熊市，未来5-8年贬值幅度可能接近40%，这迫使全球资本必须从过度集中的美元资产中撤离。 在这一框架 下，严重低配的中国资产或成为未来十年最大的"逼空"机会，而黄金牛市未终，白银潜力更为可观。 展望2026年，市场需警惕通胀反复下美联储政策转向的风险，美股则已处于由盈利驱动但估值停滞的"牛市最后一程"。 以下为演讲精彩观点： 1.美元步入"史上最大熊市"：地缘格局巨变、美国不负责任的顺周期财政扩张，以及最终必然的债务货币化路径，将导致美元信用崩 溃。与1970年代不同，此次地缘 ...
