Abstract

即将到来的通胀数据是美联储5月会议的最终决定因素。

尽管3月非农新增就业低于预期,但失业率出现下滑,劳动参与率提升,使市场认为美国劳动力市场仍然坚韧,对美联储5月继续加息的预期上升,交易员的注意力转向CPI。

本周五,随着非农就业数据公布,美联储最关注的两项指标——就业与通胀——其中之一表现坚韧,美债收益率全线抬升,互换协议显示美联储在5月份的下次FOMC会议上再次加息25基点的可能性约为75%。

紧接着,人们现在开始关注下周的CPI数据,以评估美联储的措施是否有明显成效,以及接下来还需要什么措施。道明证券全球利率策略主管Priya Misra表示:

美国就业报告“全面走强”,将提高5月份加息25个基点的可能性。它还应该推迟降息的时间。

但市场仍将关注其他不那么滞后的数据和银行业绩。

非农就业数据公布后,市场缩减了对2023年底降息的预期,掉期表明联邦基准利率到12月底约为4.38%,而数据公布前为4.18%。

智树投资(Wisdom Tree Investments)固定收益策略主管Kevin Flanagan表示:

即将到来的美国通胀数据是美联储5月会议的最终决定因素,一致或更强劲的CPI读数将对美债市场构成挑战。

彭博社调查经济学家的预估中值显示,3月份CPI的年化率整体涨幅将从6%放缓至5.2%。相比之下,核心CPI年化预计将从5.5%升至5.6%。

未来一周还将公布包括生产者价格指数(PPI)和零售销售在内的其他关键数据,这些数据都在一定程度上反映美国通胀情况,帮助市场调整对加息的预期。

过去一个月,由于对银行体系的担忧,美国国债收益率明显走低。金融机构的动荡引发了投资者对相对安全的美国国债的抢购,并迫使市场重新思考,在通胀仍处于高位的情况下,面对衰退风险上升,美联储能在多大程度上继续保持紧缩政策。

Flanagan说:

美债市场正在告诉你他们希望走向什么方向,那就是收益率下降,但它看起来容易受到任何类型的经济数据的影响,这些数据没有告诉我们衰退即将到来。

如果通货膨胀指数持续上升,美债收益率将很难维持目前的水平。

AI is Killing 'Poor People's Entertainment'

AI Is Eliminating 'Entertainment for the Poor' This article discusses the rising cost of video gaming, arguing that AI is making digital entertainment increasingly expensive. It follows the example of a frugal gamer who, accustomed to waiting for discounts and buying second-hand games, now faces a new reality. Video game consoles like the PS5 Pro and Switch 2 are increasing in price post-launch, breaking the traditional pattern of降价 over time. Game prices are also rising, with major titles like GTA 6 launching at $80. Furthermore, the industry is moving towards eliminating physical media, exemplified by Sony's plan to stop PS disc production by 2028. This shift blocks the二手 market, a key cost-saving avenue for players. Even Valve's anticipated affordable Steam Machine launched with a high price and disappointing specs. Manufacturers cite inflation, supply chain issues, and rising development costs, but a core driver is the AI boom. AI data centers now consume semiconductor and memory resources once prioritized for consumer electronics like game consoles. This competition from a more profitable sector drives up hardware costs. Additionally, developing modern AAA games with massive teams over many years is astronomically expensive, pushing publishers towards digital-only distribution and subscription models to secure recurring revenue. The article suggests this trend extends beyond gaming. Video streaming, music platforms, cloud storage, and AI tools are increasingly locked behind complex subscription tiers. While AI promises future benefits, it is currently making digital entertainment and services more costly. The era of progressively cheaper, accessible online entertainment is ending, forcing consumers to pay more upfront for future technological promises.

The Demise of the Trillion-HKD ETF Myth: SK Hynix Plummets, Hong Kong Switches from 'Double Leverage' to 'Flexible Leverage', South Korea Restricts Leveraged ETF Investments

South Korea's AI-driven bull market has taken a sharp downturn, severely impacting SK Hynix's stock and prompting regulatory tightening in both Hong Kong and South Korea on single-stock leveraged products. The CSOP SK Hynix Daily Leveraged (2x) ETF, once the world's largest single-stock leveraged ETF with over HKD 130 billion in assets, saw its value plummet by over 80% as SK Hynix shares fell nearly 46% from their June peak, erasing more than HKD 100 billion. In response, Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) revised its regulatory framework. Starting August 3rd, fixed 2x leverage for single-stock leveraged and inverse products will shift to a dynamic "flexible leverage" mechanism, where daily leverage can vary up to a maximum of 2x. This aims to balance market development with investor protection but has sparked debate about changes to the products' core features and potential reduced appeal for risk-seeking investors. Simultaneously, South Korean authorities announced plans to further restrict single-stock leveraged ETFs following two consecutive days of market circuit breakers. Proposed measures include capping individual investors' allocations to such products at 20% of their total financial investment assets, increasing trading costs, and enhancing suitability requirements. The Finance Minister publicly apologized, acknowledging insufficient initial risk assessment. Analysts note that while the long-term fundamentals for South Korean semiconductor firms like SK Hynix remain solid, short-term market volatility is heightened due to concentrated leveraged bets and shifting global risk sentiment. The regulatory moves in both markets signal a clear shift from encouraging innovation towards prioritizing risk control, reminding investors of the amplified risks inherent in leveraged products.

After the Privatization of the Internet, Silicon Valley Begins Privatizing Human Civilization

"The Privatization of Human Civilization" The article critiques how AI companies like Anthropic are systematically acquiring and digitizing millions of books—sometimes by destroying physical copies—to build proprietary training datasets for models like Claude. While a lawsuit resulted in a settlement, the author argues the deeper issue transcends copyright: it is about the privatization and centralized control of human knowledge and civilization. This process coincides with a powerful Silicon Valley ideology, exemplified by Marc Andreessen's "Techno-Optimist Manifesto" and movements like e/acc (Effective Accelerationism). This worldview frames technological growth and speed as inherently moral, portraying caution, regulation, and public dissent as obstacles to progress. It often envisions intelligence itself, rather than human well-being, as the ultimate goal, potentially sidelining present human concerns. Figures like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin express skepticism towards democratic processes as too slow, suggesting more centralized, founder-led governance is efficient. This logic extends to AI, where a small team within a company defines the model's "constitution"—its rules, values, and definitions of truth and safety—effectively governing how millions understand the world. Thus, the scanned books symbolize a new form of control. Knowledge isn't erased but is ingested into private, opaque systems. The original, decentralized, and contestable nature of books and public knowledge is replaced by a curated, company-controlled output. The public's access to their own cultural heritage becomes mediated by corporate AI, which remembers civilization only in the form its creators dictate. This is not book-burning but a subtler, potentially more complete privatization of human memory and understanding.
