私人就业报告疲弱不及预期 美债周三走势出现分化
Xin Hua Cai Jing· 2025-07-02 13:48
10年期美债收益率周三(2日)上涨,因投资者消化了疲弱的就业市场数据,并权衡了特朗普总统的税收和支出计划的影响。 在ADP民间就业数据显示6月减少3.3万个就业岗位之前,中长期美债收益率在盘前走高。该数据公布后,2年期美债收益率由下跌转为上 行,截至新华财经21:33分发稿时,2年期美债收益率微涨0.6BP至3.783%;10年期美债收益率上升5.1BPs至4.3%;30年期美债收益率上升 6BPs至4.84%。 据道琼斯统计,经济学家此前预计就业岗位将增加10万个。就业市场趋弱可能促使美联储降息,但交易商往往不太看重时而波动的ADP 数据,而是联邦官方就业数据。 周二,特朗普的超级法案以51票对50票的微弱优势在参议院获得通过,该法案现在必须在众议院通过,但仍有一些共和党议员拒绝通 过。预计该法案将在未来10年增加3.3万亿美元的财政赤字,一些共和党议员继续对该法案表示抵制。 特朗普坚称,他希望在7月4日前将该法案提交到他的办公桌上。 "预计固定收益市场将出现更大波动,一旦这些问题得到解决,美联储恢复运转,就会有很大的上行空间。"汇丰全球私人银行及财富管 理美洲部首席投资官何塞·拉斯科接受媒体采访时表示。 ...
一财社论:正确政绩观是纵深推进全国统一大市场建设重要一环
Di Yi Cai Jing· 2025-07-02 13:48
中央财经委员会第六次会议7月1日在京召开,研究纵深推进全国统一大市场建设、海洋经济高质量发展 等问题。在纵深推进全国统一大市场建设方面,会议强调,要引导干部树立和践行正确政绩观,完善高 质量发展考核体系和干部政绩考核评价体系。 之所以强调树立和践行正确政绩观,是因为阻碍全国统一大市场建设的很多方面,包括地方保护主义、 不公平竞争、为争抢项目过度承诺税收返还和财政补贴等问题,很多是不正确的政绩观使然。虽然唯 GDP发展观、政绩观早已不符合新时代发展要求,但仍然在一些地方大有市场。 这次中央财经委员会会议强调统一市场基础制度、统一市场基础设施、统一政府行为尺度、统一市场监 管执法、统一要素资源市场的"五统一",就是要在"统一"的原则下破除"障碍"。在不正确政绩观指导下 形成的地方保护主义就是"障碍",与"统一"格格不入。 比如,在政策制定方面,有的地方为了保护本地企业,设置各种隐性壁垒,限制外地企业进入本地市 场,导致市场分割和资源配置效率低下;为了招商引资,在土地供给、税收优惠等方面直接或者隐性地 突破政策法规,开展"政策竞赛",破坏市场基础制度的统一性。 这次中央财经委员会会议在列举需要聚焦的重点难点问题时就 ...

“大美丽”法案7.4大限恐落空!众议院硬派叫板特朗普,税改立法濒临僵局
Zhi Tong Cai Jing· 2025-07-02 13:47
众议院强硬派保守党团领袖周三对特朗普总统的大规模税收与支出法案能否在7月4日前完成立法表示质 疑。"我们可能需要再花一周时间来完善法案,"马里兰州共和党人、自由党团主席安迪.哈里斯表 示,"我们愿意留任至问题解决。" 他补充道:"我认为7月4日前无法准备就绪",并批评参议院周二通过自身版本法案后"不该休会"。 哈里斯发表此番言论之际,众议院领导层正计划周三举行程序性投票推动法案通过,目标是在周五前提 交总统签署。 但一位政府官员表示,特朗普决心在独立日之前看到该法案获得通过,他计划周三在白宫与自由党团成 员和其他多个众议院共和党团体会面。 众议院领导人约翰逊计划于周三举行程序性投票以推进该法案,目标是在周五之前将其提交给总统。 但这一激进时间表遭遇强烈阻力——温和派与极端保守派共和党议员威胁违抗总统意愿,可能令其国内 议程受挫。 结束假期返抵华盛顿的众议员们将于周三就参议院版本法案进行表决,该版本周二凭借副总统JD.万斯 的决胜票以51-50在参议院惊险过关。 得克萨斯州众议员奇普.罗伊与南卡罗来纳州众议员拉尔夫.诺曼周三预测首轮程序性投票将失败,这意 味着众议院恐难如期在周三进入最终表决。 在两党势均力敌的 ...
