Jim Bianco: 我认为美联储3月份会议传递的信息是负面的:经济下行、通胀上升、不确定性增加。尽管如此,市场对降息的预期并不强烈,我认为降息周期已于12月结束。鲍威尔主席将许多负面经济因素归咎于特朗普的政策,这让我感觉存在党派偏见。 我认为特朗普的关税政策虽然对经济影响不确定,但其目标是应对全球化造成的经济不平衡,试图帮助受损的美国工人。许多人,包括一些银行家,都认为特朗普的观点有一定道理。关税作为一种谈判工具,其影响难以预测,因为特朗普的政策具有交易性,而非意识形态性。 美联储应该关注特朗普政策对低收入人群的影响,而不是仅仅关注股市。特朗普政府正试图通过大规模调整经济来解决巨额债务和赤字问题,这可能导致市场波动,但并非一定导致灾难性后果。如果要批评特朗普的政策,就必须提出可行的替代方案,而仅仅回到之前的财政政策显然行不通。 我认为未来市场将呈现4-5-6的格局:货币市场收益率约为4%,债券收益率约为5%,股票收益率约为6%。股市面临估值过高的挑战,除非盈利出现大幅增长,否则股市将难以持续上涨。债券市场中主动型管理策略可能优于被动型策略。考虑到通胀粘性,我认为利率将保持在较高水平。 短期内,我预计股市将波动较大,全年收益率可能接近于零。欧洲股市比美国股市更有投资潜力,因为欧洲市场估值较低,并且即将迎来大规模的刺激支出。然而,欧洲市场也存在一些风险,例如股市集中度高和公众持股比例低。中国股市则存在被高估和缺乏法治的风险。 尽管中国政府希望股市上涨,但其效果有限。 Jack Farley: 我同意Jim Bianco的观点,即特朗普政府更关心其支持者,而非股市。特朗普的决心可能对风险资产有利,因为他不会被市场短期波动所吓倒。 关于关税的长期影响,其积极影响可能需要数年时间才能显现,而负面影响则可能很快出现。这可能导致市场出现剧烈波动。 美国政府预算大幅增加,部分原因是强制性支出增加,以及缺乏对支出的有效控制。可以通过削减浪费和欺诈来降低预算。 有人认为特朗普希望迅速导致经济衰退,以便能够将责任归咎于拜登。Jim Bianco认为特朗普并非有意为之,但他不害怕采取强硬措施。 关于市场短期展望,我同意Jim Bianco的观点,即股市可能表现平淡,债券市场表现更好,利率可能保持在较高水平。经济增长放缓并不意味着经济衰退,因为净出口数据存在扭曲。
