美国劳工统计局（BLS）将于今晚发布延迟的1月非农报告，同时进行年度基准修正和方法论更新。市 场预计此次修正将抹去约100万个就业岗位，这是美国就业统计史上规模最大的下修之一。 根据BLS初步估计，2024年4月至2025年3月期间的就业增长将下修75万至90万个岗位。此外，BLS还将 更新2025年4月至12月期间的企业出生-死亡预测数据，预计将再减少50万至70万个岗位。这意味着截至 2025年12月的非农就业数据中，多达100万个就业岗位实际上从未存在。 周三，据ZeroHedge及相关分析指出，此次修正将显著改变美国劳动力市场的实际状况。修正后的数据 将显示，劳动力市场早在2024年中期就已跌破"失速线"，当时三个月移动平均就业增长仅为5.5万，远 低于维持失业率稳定所需的18万。在经过季节性调整后，2025年至少有五个月的就业增长为负值。 此次调整的核心在于BLS终于决定修复其备受争议的"出生-死亡调整"模型。该模型此前因未能准确剔 除疫情期间为获取PPP贷款而产生的"虚假公司"数据，导致就业统计长期失真。新的计算方法将引入实 时样本信息，虽然长期看有助于提高数据准确性，但短期内将导致就业数据出现剧 ...

Financial Sector - The PBOC's announcement has been perceived as a significant expansion of a structural monetary policy tool created in November 2021, which operates on a "lend first, borrow later" mechanism, allowing financial institutions to issue loans for eligible carbon reduction projects and then seek low-cost refinancing from the central bank [2][3]. - The carbon reduction support tool has mobilized over 1 trillion yuan in green credit since its inception, effectively addressing concerns about the long investment cycles and uncertain returns associated with green projects [2][3][4].

Core Viewpoint - The potential appointment of Kevin Walsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman has sparked discussions about his hawkish or dovish stance, but ultimately, market dynamics will dictate policy adjustments regardless of individual labels [1][2]. Group 1: Kevin Walsh's Background and Stance - Walsh is known for his hawkish views, prioritizing inflation over unemployment during his tenure as a Federal Reserve Governor from 2006 to 2011, and he resigned due to disagreements over post-crisis monetary stimulus policies [1]. - After leaving the Fed, Walsh has criticized the expanding role of the Fed in the economy and markets, showing a tendency to shift his stance based on the political cycle, being more dovish under Republican leadership and hawkish under Democratic leadership [1][2].
