阿根廷经济学家警告称“美元汇率年底或突破1500比索”
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-08-19 21:33
阿根廷华人在线布宜诺斯艾利斯8月17日讯 经济学家阿列克西斯·普埃特近日对阿根廷当前经济形势发出警告,预测美元汇率可能在年底突破1500比索大关。 他在接受里瓦达维亚电台采访时,严厉批评了政府"不惜一切代价压低美元汇率"的政策。 普埃特将当前的经济状况描述为"防御性流动性综合征",银行宁愿保持流动性也不愿追求盈利能力。他质疑政府政策的逻辑性,指出一个令人困惑的矛 盾:"如果你说没有钱照顾退休人员、公立医院医生和残疾人,但却给银行做这种最奢侈的生意,说实话,怎么能说没有钱呢?" 这位经济专家特别关注政府向银行支付的高额利率问题,这些利率高达60%,担保业务甚至达到74%,活期账户透支利率更是高达80%。当被问及如何为这 些高利率提供资金时,普埃特表示这是财政支出紧缩带来的"压力"。 他用一个形象的比喻描述了财政调整的极限:"到了某个点,橙子已经干了,连一滴果汁都挤不出来了,你明白吗?"这反映出政府在财政紧缩方面已经接近 极限。 普埃特对美元汇率的未来走势表示担忧,预计年底前将面临上涨压力。他分析期货曲线时指出:"如果你看期货曲线,它正在接近波段的上限,12月份是 1502比索...汇率按月交易,每次都更接近波段 ...

Macro Factors - UBS highlights concerns over rising populism leading to irresponsible fiscal policies, estimating a need for a 3% GDP fiscal tightening to stabilize the US government debt-to-GDP ratio [2] - Bank stocks perform better relative to other sectors during rising bond yields, with their performance closely tied to the steepening of the yield curve [2] - The growth of private sector loans is rebounding in Europe, particularly in corporate loans in France and Italy, with UBS's macro model indicating European bank stocks are currently fairly valued [2] Valuation Insights - Bank stocks in Europe and the US are trading at approximately 10% below their long-term average P/E ratios, with UBS suggesting that the cost of equity in Europe is too high at 11.6% compared to 8.8% in the US [3] - A 20 basis point increase in default loss rates or a drop in interest rates below 1% would be required to achieve the estimated 10%-14% EPS downgrade already factored into valuations, which UBS believes is unlikely [3] - UBS maintains global GDP growth forecasts at 2.9% for 2025 and 2.8% for 2026, indicating a stable economic outlook [3] Reasons for Revaluation of Bank Stocks - Banks have demonstrated stronger resilience during the current downturn due to stress tests, high capital requirements for risky loans, and strict regulations [4] - Non-macro headwinds have significantly diminished, with deleveraging nearly complete and a reduction in litigation and fines against banks [4] - The risk of disruption from emerging technologies has decreased as these "disruptors" face stricter regulations and some have been acquired by traditional banks [4][5] Tactical Considerations - The banking sector is not overly crowded, ranking 8th globally and 9th in Europe in terms of sector crowding [6] - Earnings expectations for the banking sector are improving, with UBS ranking it 2nd in Europe and 5th globally for earnings revisions [6] - The banking sector is not severely overbought, with current overbought levels at one standard deviation, typically leading to outperformance [6] Recommended Banks - UBS recommends several banks across different regions, including BAWAG, ING, Standard Chartered, Barclays, and Intesa in Europe/UK, and Citizens Financial, KeyCorp, and Webster Financial in the US [7] - The selection criteria focus on countries nearing the end of interest rate hikes or those with high rates expected to decrease, as well as banks in strong currency countries [7] Strategic Preferences - UBS's global equity strategy team favors retail banks in Europe, select emerging market exposures, US investment banks like JPMorgan, and Japanese banks [8] - The preference for US banks is weaker due to anticipated domestic demand slowdown and faster-than-expected interest rate declines [8] - UBS identifies banks with a consensus "sell" rating but positive earnings revision trends, such as the Canadian National Bank and ABN AMRO, as potential investment opportunities [8]

Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs indicates that Trump's spending plan cannot prevent the U.S. national debt from rising to "unsustainable" levels, with current debt levels only second to those during World War II [1][2]. Group 1: Debt and Interest Payments - The U.S. will need to pay $1 trillion in interest on $36 trillion of national debt next year, which exceeds the total spending on Medicare and defense combined [1]. - The current path of debt accumulation is unsustainable, with primary deficits far exceeding normal levels, and the debt-to-GDP ratio approaching post-World War II peaks [1][2]. - Interest payments on the national debt are projected to become the second-largest government expenditure after Social Security next year [1]. Group 2: Fiscal Policy and Political Challenges - Goldman Sachs warns that if debt continues to grow, the government will need to maintain historically rare and politically challenging fiscal surpluses to stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio [2]. - The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Republican spending bill will increase the deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade [2]. - The complexity of increasing taxes or cutting spending poses significant political challenges, making it difficult to address the debt issue effectively [2]. Group 3: Potential Consequences of Inaction - Delaying action on the debt issue may force Congress to make more difficult decisions in the future, potentially leading to extreme austerity measures that could negatively impact GDP [2]. - There is a risk that politicians may resort to excessive money printing to pay off debts, which could lead to hyperinflation and social unrest, as evidenced by historical precedents [2].

Core Viewpoint - The "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed in the House is expected to significantly increase the U.S. fiscal deficit over the next decade, confirming previous analyses that the U.S. is unlikely to effectively reduce its deficit due to structural issues like income inequality and re-industrialization [1][3][6]. Summary by Sections Overview of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" - The bill includes tax cuts, spending reductions, an increase in the debt ceiling, and policies on defense and immigration [1][3]. Key Components of the Bill - **Tax Cuts**: The bill aims to permanently extend and expand the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), with an estimated static reduction in fiscal revenue of approximately $4.3 trillion over the next decade [3][5]. - **Spending Cuts**: It proposes significant cuts to social welfare programs, including about $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts and $230 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) [5][6]. - **Defense and Immigration Policies**: Increased spending on defense and border security is included, supporting Trump's initiatives [6]. - **Debt Ceiling Increase**: The bill proposes raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion [6]. Fiscal Impact - The bill is projected to increase the static fiscal deficit by approximately $2.8 trillion from FY2025 to FY2034, with dynamic adjustments raising this figure to about $3.2 trillion [6][9]. - The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) anticipates a deficit increase of $3.7 trillion over the same period [6]. Short-term and Long-term Implications - In the short term, the bill may lead to a slight decrease in the deficit for FY2025, but overall, the deficit is expected to remain high, around $1.9 trillion, with a deficit rate of 6.4% [9]. - The long-term outlook suggests that the U.S. will continue to face challenges in reducing the deficit due to ongoing structural issues and the need for fiscal stimulus to address income inequality and infrastructure deficits [11][15]. Market and Policy Responses - The anticipated increase in debt issuance may lead to liquidity pressures in the market, potentially prompting the Federal Reserve to consider measures such as restarting quantitative easing (QE) [25][26]. - The bill's passage could also accelerate financial reforms aimed at stabilizing the market and increasing liquidity in the U.S. Treasury market [26].
