Ruth Carson: 作为一名外汇市场观察员,我亲眼目睹了台湾货币 необычно 的单日暴涨,这是自1988年以来前所未有的。这一事件不仅对投资者造成了冲击,也引发了对亚洲货币体系更深层次的思考。美元作为全球贸易的主导货币,其地位受到了前所未有的挑战。亚洲国家长期以来依赖美元,积累了大量的美元资产,但现在他们开始寻找替代方案。特朗普政府的贸易政策加速了这一趋势,促使投资者重新评估其投资组合。资金正在从美元资产转向黄金、欧洲以及一些亚洲货币,这表明市场正在发生根本性的转变。然而,这种转变也带来了一些风险,例如对出口商的冲击以及对未对冲货币风险的投资者的影响。因此,我们需要认真思考如何应对这一挑战,抓住机遇,实现亚洲经济的可持续发展。 Rebecca Chung Wilkins: 作为主持人,我关注到台湾货币的 неожиданно 上涨不仅仅是一个孤立事件,它实际上反映了亚洲地区对美元依赖的反思。长期以来,亚洲国家通过出口积累了大量美元,并将这些资金再投资于美国市场。然而,随着全球经济格局的变化和美国贸易政策的不确定性,亚洲国家开始寻找替代方案。这种去美元化的趋势可能会对全球金融体系产生深远的影响,改变资本流动的方向,并重塑亚洲经济的格局。虽然目前还没有明确的美元替代品,但亚洲国家正在积极探索各种可能性,例如加强区域货币合作,发展本币市场等。这种转变既带来了机遇,也带来了挑战,需要亚洲国家共同努力,才能实现经济的转型和升级。

Shownotes Transcript

As Donald Trump tries to remake global trade, the dollar’s historic dominance in Asia is under pressure. After Taiwan’s currency saw the biggest surge against the dollar in almost 40 years in early May, some money managers are saying the spike signals the acceleration of a bigger trend of moving investments back home.

On today’s Big Take Asia Podcast, host Rebecca Choong Wilkins talks to Bloomberg’s Ruth Carson about what’s driving Asia’s shift away from the greenback and what a rewiring of global financial ties means for the region’s biggest economies.
