Ed Harrison: 我认为上周市场出现恐慌性抛售,主要是因为特朗普政府的关税政策比预期更为强硬。关税政策的出台导致股市在第二天出现抛售,而即将生效的对华关税报复措施则加剧了周五的抛售。虽然短期内避险情绪使美国国债受益,但长期来看,情况可能会有所不同。关税的通胀影响可能先于其对劳动力市场的负面影响,这将给美联储带来挑战,甚至可能导致通货膨胀率达到3%、4%甚至5%。 此外,日元和瑞士法郎对美元升值,也表明市场对美国经济前景的担忧。美联储和市场对经济前景的看法存在分歧,市场预期美联储的降息行动将会迟缓,这可能导致经济衰退。 最终,美国金融体系面临着崩溃的风险,这可能源于各种因素的相互作用,包括美元、国债和股票市场都面临着崩溃的风险。 Stephanie Flanders: 特朗普政府宣布的高关税令市场感到意外,即使特朗普在竞选期间就已暗示过这一政策。市场对美联储的反应也感到困惑,因为尽管美联储主席鲍威尔暗示仍关注通货膨胀,但美国国债市场反应却较为混乱。 此外,我们还讨论了特朗普政府对美联储的态度,以及美联储是否能够通过干预来防止经济衰退。特朗普政府可能将美联储作为其经济政策失败的替罪羊。 最后,我们还讨论了减税措施对经济的影响,以及参议院通过的预算决议对减税成本的评估不切实际,这表明政府缺乏财政纪律,可能进一步加剧美国的财政赤字,损害市场对美国经济的信心。美国经济面临的风险类似于英国脱欧后特拉斯政府的财政危机,可能引发全球性金融危机。 Nancy Cook: 彼得·纳瓦罗在特朗普政府中拥有巨大影响力,他是高关税政策的主要推动者。特朗普政府内部对贸易政策的意见存在分歧,但在第二任期内,这种分歧减少了,纳瓦罗的影响力增强。纳瓦罗因藐视国会传票入狱,这反而增强了他在特朗普眼中的忠诚度和影响力。 特朗普政府对市场波动和企业界的反对意见无动于衷,坚定地执行其关税政策。共和党加速推进减税改革,以应对关税政策带来的负面影响,但仅仅延长现有减税措施可能不足以刺激经济。

Shownotes Transcript

On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, we discuss what the rollout of President Donald Trump’s tariff plan has taught us about the Administration's economic strategy and the future of the US economy. In Trump’s first term, market participants could count on the President adjusting policy if it seemed to be hurting the stock market. Now recession and inflation risks are rising and both the stock market and the US sovereign bond market are flashing red but it’s not clear that the President and his advisors even care.Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by senior editor Ed Harrison, author of Bloomberg’s Everything Risk newsletter and Bloomberg’s senior national political correspondent, Nancy Cook.
