对冲基金巨擘、都铎投资掌门人保罗·都铎·琼斯周二向市场投下重磅预警：即便特朗普政府调整关税政 策，美股仍难逃刷新历史低点的命运。这位传奇投资人在CNBC《Squawk Box》节目中直言："当前形 势已然明朗，特朗普团队已明确表态维持关税壁垒，美联储在降息决策上举棋不定，这对风险资产构成 双重压制。"他预测道："市场很可能继续向下寻底，直至创下新纪录低位。" 这位曾精准预判1987年股灾的投资大师，此次将警示范围扩展至科技领域。在近期某闭门技术峰会上， 与会专家关于人工智能的讨论令其深感忧虑："尽管AI在医疗、教育等领域可能成为造福人类的工具， 但军事专家和生物技术学者普遍认为，这项技术将在我们有生之年构成实质性安全威胁。"琼斯援引会 议共识称："未来二十年内，人工智能导致人类半数人口消亡的概率超过10%，生物黑客攻击和智能武 器系统正是最主要的威胁路径。" 特朗普的贸易政策正产生类似60年代以来的最大规模税负增加效应："即便将关税税率回调至40%-50% 区间，这实质上仍是数十年来最激进的增税举措，将直接吞噬2-3个百分点的经济增长动能。"这一判断 与最新经济数据形成呼应——美国一季度GDP意外萎缩0.3% ...

在关税相关消息令市场大幅波动之际，一直按兵不动的对冲基金经理们仍然不愿进行任何重大押注，但有一个重大 例外：做空美国股票。 根据桥水联合基金（Bridgewater Associates Ltd.）前高管鲍勃・埃利奥特（Bob Elliott）提供的数据，所谓的市场信 心，即衡量对冲基金对执行特定投资策略的信心指标，在跌至近几十年来的最低水平附近后，目前正有所回升。截 至3月底，包括外汇、债券和大宗商品在内的主要资产类别头寸已跌至2000年以来最低的10%分位区间，目前仍处 于疲弱状态。 如今，即使个人股票交易员奉行逢低买入的策略，所谓的"聪明资金"却越来越多地为进一步下跌做准备，至少在美 国市场是这样。周二，标普500指数连续第六个交易日上涨，创下自去年11月以来最长的连涨纪录。 埃利奥特说："对于对冲基金来说，在这样的环境中进行操作是一个充满挑战的事情。他们应对政策波动的部分方 式，是从风险角度保持可用的现金储备，这样当市场有明确方向时，他们就能迅速做出调整。" Unlimited利用机器学习来分析主要对冲基金投资风格的总体持仓和回报情况。该公司利用这些分析来构建投资组 合，力求复制对冲基金的投资，其中包 ...

Core Viewpoint - The articles from the Pakistani media outlet "Forum Express" argue that the U.S. trade war and isolationist policies could lead to the collapse of the post-World War II global economic order, potentially pushing the U.S. economy into isolation and recession while accelerating the shift from a unipolar to a multipolar world [1][2]. Group 1: Impact on Global Economic Order - The U.S. imposition of tariffs is seen as a betrayal of commitments to free trade and open markets, which could significantly slow global economic growth and damage the established global economic order [1]. - The weakening of the World Trade Organization (WTO) by the U.S. has paralyzed global trade dispute resolution mechanisms, increasing the likelihood of retaliatory measures and escalating economic conflicts among nations [1]. Group 2: U.S. Economic Isolation and Recession Risks - The U.S. is at risk of becoming a trade island, with countries like China and the EU implementing countermeasures that threaten the U.S. economy, particularly in the agricultural sector where China is the largest export destination for U.S. agricultural products [2]. - In 2024, U.S. agricultural exports are projected to reach $176 billion, with nearly half (47%) going to China, Mexico, and Canada, highlighting the potential economic impact of retaliatory tariffs [2]. - Concerns over the trade war have led to a sell-off of U.S. Treasury bonds, indicating a loss of confidence in the U.S. as a safe investment destination, which could worsen market liquidity [2]. Group 3: Shift Towards Multipolarity - The U.S. unilateralism is damaging its credibility as a reliable economic partner, prompting allies to seek a multipolar world order, as evidenced by calls from the EU and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown for pragmatic dialogue and cooperation [3]. - Many countries are diversifying their export destinations and strengthening regional cooperation mechanisms, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and BRICS, in response to U.S. unilateralism [3].

美债市场近期遭遇抛售，引发市场对美国政府债务的担忧。而在这一风波中， 对冲基金的"相对价值"交易策略(relative-value trades)被推上风口浪尖。 所谓的"相对价值"交易，通常旨在利用美国国债及其相关衍生品合约之间微小的价格差异，加以短期融资市场借入巨额资金，将微薄的利润转化为可观的回 报。 这些基金利用高杠杆，试图从美债及其衍生品之间的微小价格差异中获利， 如"基差交易"或"互换利差交易"，其持仓规模高达1万亿美元，杠杆率高达100 倍。 美债市场的流动性与对冲基金杠杆交易之间存在微妙平衡。根据美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 的最新数据，对冲基金参与政府债务固定收益相对价值交易的规模 约为9040亿美元，这一数字在过去十年中几乎翻了一番。此外，对冲基金在3月中旬净卖空了1.14万亿美元的美债期货，关于基差交易本身的规模估计约为 8000亿美元，其对市场的影响依然巨大。 然而，高杠杆的使用意味着即使是小幅度的价格波动，也可能引发大规模的平仓，加剧市场波动。对于这个为美国政府融资、历史上充当全球金融安全避风港 并影响几乎所有其他证券定价的市场来说，是一个危险的发展。 4月8日一场疲软的美国国债拍 ...

Ken Griffin猛烈抨击特朗普的关税政策，认为其正在损害美国声誉。 据媒体报道，周三，对冲基金巨头Citadel创始人兼首席执行官肯·格里芬(Ken Griffin)在世界经济峰会上接受媒体采访时表示， 特朗普行动过快，疏远了盟友， 并玷污了美国资产曾经"无可比拟"的卓越声誉，包括美国国债、美元强势和国家信用度。 Griffin警告称： 不幸的是，贸易战已经变得毫无意义，这意味着我们要花时间思考供应链。 我们将品牌置于风险之中。要修复已经造成的损害，可能需要一辈子的时间。 他将当前情况与哈佛大学的遭遇相提并论，认为政府对这所美国顶尖学府的施压，无异于"攻击美国最卓越的品牌之一"。 关税无法推动制造业回流，美国四周内已变穷20% 近几周来，由于特朗普在关税问题上反复无常的态度，以及一度暗示可能解雇美联储主席（后又收回言论），投资者纷纷抛售美国股票和国债，市场剧烈波 动，深层的不安情绪持续存在。 Griffin对特朗普旨在通过关税复兴美国制造业的核心目标表示强烈怀疑。他认为： 我告诉你什么不会发生：人们不会筹集资金在美国建厂，因为政策的波动性实际上破坏了你试图实现的目标。 Griffin引用欧元作为参照， ...
