Jack Farley: 我认为特朗普政府对全球实施的大规模关税将导致全球贸易崩溃、全球经济衰退和市场崩盘。关税的计算方式极其武断且缺乏依据,其依据的是贸易逆差而非实际关税或非关税措施,这与经济学常识相悖。如果这些关税得以实施并维持,将会对全球经济造成灾难性的影响。此外,特朗普政府的关税政策可能与美国公众的看法存在脱节,这可能会影响政策的走向。 我认为,短期内市场将持续下跌,长期来看,如果关税得以降低,市场可能会出现反弹。但是,如果特朗普政府坚持高关税政策,那么全球经济将面临严重的风险。 美联储可能采取宽松的货币政策来应对关税政策可能造成的经济衰退。一些人认为关税不会导致衰退的观点是基于贸易仅占GDP的一小部分,但这种观点忽略了信心效应和连锁反应。当前的经济形势与大萧条时期不同,因此不太可能出现类似的大萧条事件,但关税可能会加剧经济问题。关税政策的长期结果存在多种可能性,包括关税维持高位、关税下降或全球贸易壁垒降低。 Max Wiethe: 特朗普的关税并非基于其他国家的关税或非关税贸易措施,而是基于贸易逆差本身,这使得关税水平远高于预期,并可能导致全球贸易崩溃。特朗普政府的关税政策意在通过对其他国家施压来获得权力,并可能作为一种提高税收的手段。市场正在对关税政策可能造成的负面影响做出反应,一些受影响最大的公司股价下跌。特朗普的民粹主义立场及其对通货膨胀的关注可能会影响他的政策决策。 关税政策可能导致三种结果:公司吸收成本、提高价格或导致衰退。美联储可能采取宽松的货币政策来应对关税政策可能造成的经济衰退。我认为,特朗普政府希望其他国家屈服,但这在政治上很难实现。各国可能会采取民族主义的回应,这将使局势更加复杂。

Deep Dive

Chapters
The Trump administration imposed unexpectedly high tariffs globally, not based on reciprocal tariffs or non-tariff barriers, but on the trade deficit. This arbitrary calculation led to extreme tariffs on countries like Lesotho (99%) while others with trade surpluses faced lower tariffs. Economists are baffled by this decision, which seems designed to drastically reduce global trade.
  • Trump imposed massive tariffs based on trade deficit, not reciprocal tariffs or non-tariff barriers
  • Lesotho had a 99% tariff due to this calculation
  • Economists are shocked, markets are collapsing

Shownotes Transcript

Jack Farley & Max Wiethe share their analysis as global financial markets react with shock to Trump’s reciprocal tariffs which are based not on other countries’ tariff or non-tariff trade measures, but on the level of trade deficit itself. Recorded the morning of April 3, 2025.
