Topics
Alex Wolff: 我认为美元走弱是由于资金流动,而非利率差异。美国净投资头寸极度负面,而世界其他地区则对美国资产持有大量超配。随着增长差异的变化以及资金回流欧洲和亚洲,美元将持续走弱,但幅度不大,且这种走弱是周期性的而非结构性的。亚洲货币升值会对亚洲出口和企业盈利产生负面影响。疫情期间及之后,硬数据和软数据之间存在脱节,这使得评估美国经济状况变得更加困难。目前对美国经济的预测持观望态度,不预测经济衰退,但需要观察硬数据的发展情况。由于美元持有量减少和对货币多元化的需求增加,黄金仍有上涨空间。半导体行业受汇率影响较小,其前景更多取决于整体需求和美国政策。半导体行业具有高度周期性,数据中心建设和人工智能需求减弱可能会对半导体行业和科技硬件行业造成不利影响。 Dan Flatley: 特朗普政府计划取消拜登政府时期对人工智能芯片出口的一些限制,以促进与中国的贸易谈判。特朗普政府放松对人工智能芯片出口限制的策略,可能意在允许盟友获得这些技术,从而限制中国获得这些技术。美国国会议员对关税对经济的影响表示担忧。耶伦表示,他将率领美国代表团与中国进行贸易谈判,白宫贸易顾问彼得·纳瓦罗不会参加谈判。耶伦在国会听证会上受到了关于关税对消费者物价影响的质询,并表示美中贸易谈判尚处于初期阶段。 Minmin Low: 目前尚不清楚美中贸易谈判的结果,可能是双方试探彼此意图的初步会谈,也可能产生具体成果,例如暂停或降低关税。中国媒体呼吁美国在贸易问题上展现诚意,降低关税。面对美中贸易紧张局势,许多中国制造商已采取措施将产品销售转向其他市场,并暂停了部分海外投资。尽管存在地缘政治风险,一些中国消费品公司仍然对拓展美国市场感兴趣。习近平访俄期间,俄乌冲突仍在继续,这使得此次访问的背景显得复杂。习近平在俄罗斯发表文章,强调中俄两国将相互支持核心利益,并提及“一个中国”原则。 Donald Trump: 特朗普总统表示,为了与中国进行更实质性的贸易谈判,他不会主动降低对中国的关税。

Asian stocks traded in a tight range Thursday after the Federal Reserve reiterated it isn't in a rush to lower interest rates, and investors awaited the trade negotiations between China and the US. Stateside, the S&P 500 halted a two-day slide, led by chipmakers as Bloomberg News reported that the Trump administration plans to rescind Biden-era curbs for the industry. For more on the day's market outlook, we heard from Alex Wolf, Head of Asia Investment Strategy at JPMorgan Private Bank. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts.

Plus - President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he's unwilling to preemptively lower tariffs on China in order to unlock more substantive negotiations with Beijing on trade. His comments come ahead of bilateral talks between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend in Switzerland. We get the latest from Bloomberg's US Treasury Reporter, Dan Flatley, along with Bloomberg's China Correspondent, Minmin Low.
