Topics
Doug Krisner: 本期节目讨论了美国财政部长贝森特对美中贸易战的疑虑,以及由此引发的市场波动。白宫对单方面削减对华关税的犹豫,以及中国对贸易谈判持开放态度,都加剧了市场的复杂性。 Scott Bessent: 我认为,如果中国认真对待减少对出口导向型制造业增长的依赖,并向国内经济再平衡,那么我们可以一起做到。这表明了解决贸易失衡可能需要数年时间,需要双方共同努力。 Donald Trump: 我正在与许多国家打交道,可能包括中国,但也许我们会达成一项特别的协议。目前的关税税率很高,达到了145%,这是因为他们向我们国家运送了大量的芬太尼。我没有考虑改变对汽车或汽车零部件的关税。 Mark Cranfield: 目前的市场状况非常混乱,波动性极高,已达到全球金融危机和20世纪30年代华尔街股灾期间的水平。这种局面是不可持续的,只有通过一段平静期或市场大幅下跌才能解决。投资者将采取防御性策略,资金将流出美国市场,美元将走弱。债券市场发出的信号复杂,美国国债拍卖存在风险,外国投资者将观望,直到收益率非常有吸引力。美联储的独立性问题也令人担忧,如果缺乏明确保证,美国资产将面临折价。 SK Kim: SK海力士的业绩超出预期,DRAM业务增长强劲,特别是HBM和DDR5等高价值产品,但NAND闪存业务依然疲软。业绩增长部分源于对关税不确定性的提前囤货,以及来自中国市场的额外需求。尽管存在关税担忧,但AI需求依然强劲。PC市场由于Windows 10的停止支持,出现了更新换代的需求,而智能手机市场则存在不确定性。SK海力士的目标股价为267,000韩元,仍有上涨空间,但股价疲软的部分原因是韩国的卖空禁令和与美光科技的估值差距缩小。

Asian stocks traded in a tight range Thursday as a global relief rally started to give up momentum after mixed signals from the Trump administration on its plans for China tariffs. A regional gauge of stocks swung between small gains and losses as market enthusiasm got curbed after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cast doubt on a timely resolution to the US-China trade war. That trimmed the S&P 500's gain Wednesday to 1.7%. The yen reversed two days of losses and the dollar weakened in early Asian trade. Gold jumped 1.4% in increased demand for the traditional safe-haven asset. Global equities and long-dated Treasuries rose on Wednesday on signs US President Donald Trump is rethinking the most-aggressive elements of his stances on trade and the Federal Reserve. We get reaction to the day's headlines from Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore.

Plus -  SK Hynix reported a 158% jump in March-quarter operating income, driven in part by stockpiling ahead of US tariffs, and maintained its forecast for a doubling in demand for high-bandwidth memory. The company warned of increased volatility in the second half of 2025 due to uncertainty surrounding US tariffs, despite resilient demand for AI memory chips from big tech providers. We hear from SK Kim, Executive Director at Daiwa Securities.
