Topics
Katie Martin: 我认为特朗普政府的头几个月非常混乱,难以预测。投资者就像盲人摸象,充满不确定性。特朗普政府的政策声明非常不稳定,导致市场剧烈波动。市场认为特朗普经常退缩,因此形成了“taco trade”的说法。但投资者对美国在全球金融体系中的地位感到担忧,美元和美国国债的避险地位受到质疑。欧洲投资者担心特朗普政府可能会限制资金流出美国。美国投资者认为情况只是暂时的,而外国投资者则担心美国可能无法恢复到以前的地位。 Chris Giles: 我认为特朗普在竞选期间就暗示了关税会成为一个大问题。但我们低估了特朗普政府实施政策的决心和速度。特朗普政府的运作方式更像一个中世纪的宫廷,而非遵循常规的制衡机制。特朗普政府内部争夺权力的现象非常普遍。宪法对官员的保护并不像人们想象的那么牢固。目前美联储主席鲍威尔相对安全,因为特朗普已经表示不想解雇他。但特朗普政府试图解雇其他几位拥有相同宪法保护的官员,这引发了法律诉讼。最高法院可能会支持总统,削弱国会通过法律对官员的保护。如果最高法院裁定相关法律违宪,许多官员可能会面临被总统随意解雇的风险。 Mark Filippino: 特朗普挑战美联储独立性,并可能采取绕过国会批准的政策,这带来了很大的不确定性。市场经常用“whipsaw”来形容特朗普时期的波动,美元的强势尤其引人关注。
