高盛在周一晚间发布的研报中明确表示，鉴于美联储降息预期提前且幅度加深，同时大盘股基本面持续强劲，已上调标普 500 指数三个月、六个月和十二个 月的回报预期。具体来看，该行将标普 500 三个月回报预期上调至 3%，对应指数水平 6400 点；六个月回报预期上调至 6%，对应年底目标价 6600 点，较 此前预期的 6100 点有大幅提升；十二个月回报预期则被上调至 11%，对应标普 500 指数水平 6900 点。目前，标普 500 指数在 6230 水平附近波动，这意味 着按照高盛的预期，未来各期限都有可观的上涨空间。 从美联储的降息路径来看，高盛预计其不会在 7 月 FOMC 会议上降息，2025 年 9 月、10 月和 12 月将分别降息 25 个基点，2026 年 3 月和 6 月将分别再降 息 25 个基点。Mericle 表示，如果降息的动机之一是预防性措施，那么连续会议上采取行动是最自然的选择。此外，就业市场也出现了趋弱的迹象，David Mericle 在报告中写道："虽然劳动力市场整体看起来依然健康，但现在找工作变得更难。" 数据中的季节性残留效应和移民政策的变化，也在短期内对就业 数据构 ...

华尔街知名投行高盛对美股前景愈发乐观，大幅上调标普500指数多个期限的目标价位。 华尔街见闻今日稍早前的文章写道，高盛研究部门的经济学家在最新的一份报告中表示，美联储可能会 在9月降息，这比此前高盛预测的时间提前了三个月。高盛首席美国经济学家David Mericle表示，9月降 息的可能性略高于50%。 高盛调整降息预测的原因是：初步迹象显示，今年关税政策的影响略低于预期，而其他通胀缓解因素则 比预期更强。此外，美联储高层也可能认同高盛经济学家的看法，即关税对物价水平的影响将是一次性 的。 据高盛在周一晚间发布的研报认为，美联储降息预期提前且幅度加深，叠加大盘股基本面持续强劲，已 上调标普500指数三个月、六个月和十二个月的回报预期。 研报显示，该行将标普500三个月回报预期上调至3%，对应指数水平6400点。六个月回报预期上调至 6%，对应年底目标价6600点，较此前预期的6100点大幅提升。十二个月回报预期则被上调至11%，对 应标普500指数水平6900点。 另外，就业市场也出现了趋弱的迹象。David Mericle在报告中写道："虽然劳动力市场整体看起来依然 健康，但现在找工作变得更难。"数据中的 ...

Core Viewpoint - Japan is facing two significant risk events: the expiration of the equal tariff deadline on July 9 and the Senate elections on July 20, which could impact the yen and Japanese government bond yields [2][5]. Group 1: Equal Tariff Deadline - The deadline for the equal tariff suspension is approaching on July 9, with ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Japan stalled primarily over auto tariffs [5]. - If negotiations break down, the equal tariff rate could increase from the current 24% to between 30% and 35%, raising concerns about global economic growth and potentially leading to a stronger yen [5][6]. - Market participants are relatively optimistic about the tariff issue, with many expecting that the deadline may be extended and that the final tariff rates will not exceed current levels [5][6]. Group 2: Senate Elections - The focus will shift to the Japanese Senate elections on July 20, where the ruling coalition needs to secure at least 50 out of 125 seats to maintain a majority [7]. - If the ruling party loses, the market may anticipate more aggressive fiscal stimulus, which could lead to an increase in long-term Japanese government bond yields [7]. - Unlike the UK, Japan's situation is different due to its substantial current account surplus, which reduces reliance on foreign investment and minimizes direct impacts on the yen's exchange rate [7].

巴克莱：泰国央行或保留货币政策空间，2025年通胀预测面临下行风险 摩根士丹利：美国经济前景受关税影响，GDP增长放缓但未至衰退 高盛预测显示，欧佩克+的八个成员国将在9月份进一步将生产配额提高55万桶／日。这些增产措施表 明，在当前全球石油需求强劲的情况下，欧佩克+正致力于实现其产能正常化，并预期石油市场的供需 将进一步达到平衡。欧佩克+加快供应增长增强了对其长期市场平衡预测的信心，这一转变有助于提升 组织内部的凝聚力，并战略性地限制美国页岩油的供应。 摩根士丹利表示，预计2025/2026年四季度同比GDP增长约为1%，虽然不至于衰退，但较去年更为疲 软。关税仍然是美国市场前景评估的关键因素。更加激进的关税路径将强化市场对美国经济前景风险偏 向下行的观点。 德勤调查显示，英国企业高管对美国作为投资目的地的兴趣显著降低，净平衡比例从2024年底的+59% 降至当前的+2%。美国官方数据显示2025年初外国直接投资大幅下跌，这与美国政府的关税计划带来的 不确定性有关。英国企业高管对本国市场的兴趣有所提升，英国的投资吸引力净平衡比例由-12%升至 13%，成为最具吸引力的投资目的地之一。 荷兰国际集团分析师指出 ...

于是，我认真研读那位朋友的转发链接，并大致厘清了他所谓的"提示黄金风险"。 原来，近期高盛在一份报告提到，鸽派预期与风险缓和（地缘政治风险降温、贸易谈判取得进展）等因 素，将共同创造一个 "金发姑娘"（Goldilocks）式的宏观背景 。而所谓"金发姑娘"式的宏观背景，指的是 经济适度增长（不过热），通胀温和（不过高），足以让央行保持宽松的环境。 这一轮黄金的强势走势，让小编身边多出了好多个黄金资产的真爱粉。然而就在上周，其中的一位突然发 消息给我——"国际投行都在提示黄金风险了，金价是不是要跌了？"。 我还没来得及回复，他又火急火燎地把一则题为 " 高盛、花旗集体押注 ' 金发姑娘 ' ！黄金真正的风险出现 了 " 的报道发给了我。 说实话，我的第一反应是困惑，因为不久前我才读过关于"高盛维持黄金价格预测目标"的报道。 无独有偶，花旗也在近期发布的研报中写道，当前市场行情正呈现典型的"金发姑娘"特征。"金发姑娘"通 胀受抑制的环境意味着黄金失去避险吸引力并表现不佳。同时经济增长环境可能推高实际收益率和期限溢 价，抬升增加黄金的持有成本。此外，数据显示在历史"金发姑娘"时期，黄金的风险回报比（夏普比率） 显 ...

Core Viewpoint - The resurgence of SPACs is noted, with a shift in focus towards sectors like digital currency and artificial intelligence, contrasting with previous trends in delivery apps and electric vehicles [4][6]. Group 1: SPAC Overview - SPACs were popular during the pandemic as a quick wealth-building scheme, where a shell company raises funds and merges with a private company [1][2]. - The process allows investors to either redeem their shares or hold a stake in the merged entity [2]. - While SPACs can be lucrative for the institutions that set them up, they often do not benefit the investors who pay the associated fees [3]. Group 2: Market Trends - In 2022, central banks raised interest rates, leading to a decline in SPAC activity, but 2023 is expected to see a surge in listings [4]. - The current SPAC revival is anticipated to be smaller and more speculative, with a notable influence from the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement [5]. Group 3: Notable Companies and Figures - Twenty One Capital, focused on accumulating Bitcoin, plans to merge with a SPAC associated with Cantor Fitzgerald, recently led by Howard Lutnick [7]. - Trump's involvement in SPACs is highlighted, with his social network Truth Social going public through a SPAC merger [8]. - Other Trump associates are also capitalizing on SPAC opportunities, such as Devin Nunes launching his own SPAC [9]. - GrabAGun, an online gun store, is set to merge with a SPAC operated by Trump ally Omeed Malik, with Donald Trump Jr. joining the board post-transaction [10].

高盛分析师周四在报告中指出，尽管特朗普的新政策可能正在颠覆全球贸易秩序，但迄今尚未对经济造 成严重冲击。"几乎没有迹象表明政策不确定性正在损害经济活动，"高盛团队在报告中写道。 在高盛报告发布之际，美国6月就业数据好于预期：经济新增14.7万个岗位，失业率从4.2%降至4.1%。 投资者情绪乐观，标普500和纳斯达克指数创历史新高。 尽管分析师此前预期特朗普第二任期将拖累经济，但数据呈现出截然不同的图景：自2024年末以来，主 要发达及新兴市场的投资、工厂招聘、消费支出及整体经济活动均保持韧性。 可以肯定的是，以历史标准衡量，贸易政策的不确定性仍然很高，高盛的不确定性指数在特朗普当选后 飙升。但近几个月来，随着贸易协议谈判推进，这种不确定性有所缓解。 事实上，对全球二季度及全年经济增长的预测已从先前的悲观预期中回升。分析师指出，在多数经济体 中，贸易相关投资占GDP比重较小，因此影响"小到难以察觉"。新工厂投资虽有下滑（尤其是在新兴市 场），但这在主要经济体中仅占GDP的0.2-0.3个百分点。 AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 报告强调，政策不确定性通常在金融环境收紧时影响最大，但今年以来全球流动性实际 ...
