Hanke警告，当前的美股，特别是科技板块，正处于历史性的泡沫之中。他直言："就股市方面，我的 泡沫探测器正处于历史高位，这表明我们正处于泡沫之中。"他警告投资人，市场随时可能迎来"Wile E. Coyote时刻"，比喻像卡通里威利狼一样，在悬崖边奔跑却没发现脚下已经悬空，直到低头一看才坠落 的瞬间，代表一种即将面临灾难的警告，表示某事或某现象在表面上看似正常，但内部已潜藏巨大风 险。 格隆汇12月23日｜美国约翰霍普金斯大学经济学教授、诺贝尔奖获得者Steve Hanke表示，2026年美国 经济和市场有"两大隐忧"，让他彻夜难眠：一是通胀失控，二是美股可能会暴跌。Hanke列举了数个可 能在明年加剧通胀的事态发展：美联储降息、量化紧缩结束、贷款规则放宽、美国国债发行增加。 ...

乐观派认为这是经济韧性的直接体现，降息有效规避了衰退风险，市场对增长前景的信心支撑了收益率上行。 自上世纪90年代以来，从未出现过央行持续降息而关键期限美债收益率同步攀升的诡异格局，这场违背直觉的市场反应，本质上是经济基本面、政策可信度 与政治干预风险的多重博弈结果。 9月以来，美联储已累计将基准利率从二十年高位下调1.5个百分点，当前维持在3.75%-4%区间。市场交易员对政策宽松的预期更趋激进，普遍押注本周三将 再降25个基点，且定价已反映出明年两次同等幅度降息的可能性，届时利率将触及3%左右的低位。 然而，10年期美债收益率自降息周期启动以来逆势上涨0.5个百分点至4.1%，30年期收益率更是飙升超0.8个百分点，与1995年、1998年两次非衰退期降息时 收益率明确下行的历史表现形成鲜明反差。 美联储开启的降息周期正遭遇债券市场的强烈反对，这种短期政策利率下行与长期国债收益率上行的背离，打破了近四十年的市场传导规律。 中性观点则强调这是对2008年金融危机后异常低利率周期的修正，PGIM固定收益首席投资策略师罗伯特・蒂普指出，当前利率水平只是回归危机前的正常 区间，疫情催生的超低利率时代已彻底终结。 ...

日本央行行长植田和男12月1日在名古屋发表讲话时称，日本央行将在12月的货币政策会议上就利率问 题作出正确决定，这被市场视为释放加息信号。在当前日本经济内外交困、新旧问题叠加的状况下，日 本管理通胀面临多重掣肘。 一是经济增长乏力。提高利率对通胀能够起到遏制作用，但同时会抑制经济增长。当前日本经济复苏动 能较弱，日本内阁府发布的今年三季度经济数据显示，日本实际国内生产总值（GDP）环比下降 0.4%，按年率计算降幅达1.8%，这是自2024年一季度以来GDP再次出现负增长。日本内阁府的中期经 济报告指出，鉴于美国加征关税举措对日本经济的负面影响仍在持续发酵，日本政府把2025财年的经济 增长预期从1.2%下调至0.7%。 三是政府债务高企。日本政府常年采取扩张性财政政策，并依赖日本央行长期维持超宽松货币政策以压 低发债成本，形成庞大的债务负担。一旦日本央行推进加息货币政策，日本政府举债成本与偿息压力都 将加剧。据国际货币基金组织（IMF）统计，2025年日本政府债务率，即政府债务占GDP的比例为 229.6%，在发达经济体中最高。高市早苗政府继续举债推进刺激性经济政策，无疑将进一步加重政府 偿债负担。 虽然市 ...
