Topics
Michael Batnick: 我认为关税是一种破坏性的经济行为,它最终会转嫁给消费者。我不理解为什么我们要对加拿大和墨西哥征收关税,因为这会影响到我们日常消费的商品,例如啤酒和鳄梨。虽然我赞成对中国采取有针对性的关税措施,但我认为对加拿大和墨西哥征收关税是一种基于自我的傲慢行为。 此外,我认为股市对关税的反应相对温和,这表明市场预期关税不会真正实施。即使关税最终实施,我认为人工智能的快速发展可能会成为抵消关税等负面因素影响的平衡因素,股市最终仍然能够保持强劲。 最后,我认为,如果我们真的经历了一场贸易战,并且这场贸易战持续数年,那么经济受到的冲击可能会大于股市受到的冲击。 Ben Carlson: 我认为美国经济已经转向技术和服务,不可能回到过去一切都在国内制造的时代。关税最终会转嫁给消费者,而不是由企业承担。 在特朗普执政期间,即使存在关税,股市VIX指数也多次创下历史新低,这表明关税对股市的影响可能并非直接且成比例的。然而,人工智能的快速发展可能降低了股市的安全边际,增加了股市大幅波动风险。 总的来说,我认为人工智能是股市上涨的主要驱动力,但关税和政治不确定性构成了下行风险。市场认为关税的影响是可逆的,因此对股市的影响有限。
