Topics
Robert Armstrong: 作为市场观察者,我认为市场通常欢迎政府通过借贷进行支出,因为这在一定程度上为金融系统注入了资金。然而,我认为过度的财政支出可能会适得其反,尤其是在美国政府的财政慷慨已经达到让市场感到不安的程度时。目前,我认为预算赤字比市场预期更为严重,这导致国债价格下跌,收益率上升。尽管两党在执政时都倾向于推迟财政整顿,但重要的是要认识到,没有人真正知道债务占GDP的上限在哪里。如果预算案以目前的形式通过,可能会成为压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草,导致债券价格进一步下跌,收益率大幅上升,甚至可能引发对美国政府的清算时刻。不过,我认为仅仅是这个预算案可能还不足以引发危机,可能还需要结合其他危险因素。总之,我认为现在世界对美国资产的配置可能过高,正在进行调整,这导致美元走弱,投资者开始减少对美元和美国股票的配置。 Katie Martin: 我认为英国在2022年底经历了一场因预算不受市场欢迎而导致的债券市场危机,这为我们敲响了警钟。当时,债券价格迅速下跌,收益率飙升,触发了一些自动出售英国国债的机制,导致英国央行不得不介入以恢复市场秩序。虽然我认为美国国债市场不太可能面临如此严重的危机,因为它规模更大,深度更深,但我们仍然需要警惕高债券收益率可能引发的问题。货币成本迅速上升可能会引发意想不到的连锁反应,并暴露系统中隐藏的杠杆。总的来说,我认为我们需要密切关注市场动态,避免重蹈覆辙。此外,我看好欧元作为储备货币的未来,欧洲需要加强其债券市场,并更积极地将欧元融入贸易和支付体系。
