两票反对又能怎?美联储依旧不降息

比推Pubblicato 2025-07-30Pubblicato ultima volta 2025-07-30

北京时间周四凌晨02:00,美联储第五次维持利率不变,将基准利率目标区间维持在4.25%-4.50%,符合市场预期。美联储这一决定是在白宫对主席鲍威尔施加强大政治压力、要求其降息的背景下做出的。

美联储将其基准政策利率维持在4.25%至4.5%区间,同时权衡进口商、零售商和消费者将如何分摊更高关税带来的成本。围绕谁将承担关税负担的激烈争论的结果,或将决定今年晚些时候通胀和就业的走向,并可能决定央行在未来几个月是否以及何时恢复降息。

美联储在政策声明中几乎没有做出改动,显示其目前无意发出任何即将降息的信号。

维持利率不变的决定遭到两名官员罕见的反对,美联储理事沃勒和鲍曼要求立即降息25个基点。 这是自2020年以来首次有超过一位美联储官员在会议中对鲍威尔的决定投反对票,也是自1993年以来首次有两名理事会成员持不同意见。

美联储理事沃勒两周前曾表示支持降息,这与他明年春天可能接任鲍威尔的美联储主席职位的潜在提名相吻合。本月早些时候,他表示担心维持过高的利率对一个缺乏推高通胀动力的经济来说太过高——这一观点也得到了部分经济学家和前美联储官员的支持。

美联储理事鲍曼此前一直是鹰派立场坚定的代表,曾反对去年9月开始的首次降息,她此次的转变颇为引人注目。

鲍威尔及其同僚正在研究关税如何在通胀数据中体现出来,市场普遍担忧商品价格上涨可能使通胀连续第五年高于美联储2%的目标。虽然通胀自2021至2023年高点明显回落,且没有出现许多经济学家预测的衰退,但美联储官员仍对过早降息、重新点燃价格压力保持高度警惕。

许多企业在关税生效前囤积库存,由于担心失去被通胀压垮的消费者,一直不愿提高价格。但一些经济学家警告称,随着利润率较低的企业耗尽关税前的库存并面临更高成本,它们可能越来越倾向于将这些成本转嫁给消费者。

曾任鲍威尔副手、由特朗普任命的理查德·克拉里达(Richard Clarida)表示:

鲍威尔眼下要兼顾的事情太多了,但有一件事他确实说过,而且他的批评者没有充分认识到,那就是关税确实已经反映在部分物价指数中。通胀压力之所以没有失控,是因为服务价格一直保持稳定。

周三早些时候公布的经济数据发出了好坏参半的信号,解释了美联储的谨慎态度。 尽管第二季度GDP增长达到3.0%,超出预期,但私人企业和消费者需求的衡量指标则从上一季度的1.9%放缓至1.2%,远低于去年底的2.9%。

经济学家将这一下滑归因于劳动力增长放缓及关税的影响。其他近期数据则显示,消费者支出可能在进口成本上升反映到零售价格之前已经企稳。

不过,特朗普政府则认为,从长期来看,关税将通过推动高薪制造业就业使美国更加富裕。

在理解特朗普政府经济政策方面,美联储陷入了“两步进、一步退”的循环。美国近期与日本和欧盟达成的贸易协议设定的关税水平为15%,虽低于特朗普今年4月的威胁性言论,但仍高于年初的市场预期。特朗普的不可预测性也让未来加征关税的可能性仍存,同时还存在司法挑战可能推翻这些关税的风险。

在财政方面,特朗普本月签署了一项重大减税法案。一些共和党议员正在讨论向消费者返利,这可能会对美联储认为已接近充分就业的经济构成新的刺激。如果劳动力市场因此持续保持稳定, 美联储官员可能会后悔过早降息。

投资者目前预计,美联储在9月会议上降息的概率约为三分之二,但这取决于关税对通胀的影响是否仍受控,以及劳动力市场是否出现更多疲软迹象。

未来几个月,美联储内部的分歧可能集中在以下问题上:关税对经济造成破坏的速度是否会超过其推高通胀的速度,以及在尚未明朗前就贸然行动,是否会导致政策误判。

一派观点认为,当前利率水平已高于适应经济实际状况的区间,而通胀基本面压力不足,若就业增长停滞,美联储将印证白宫等方面“落后于形势”的批评。

但另一派则担忧,在夏季关税推高价格的压力加剧之际降息,或在财政刺激与金融市场活跃的双重推动下为经济带来超预期的热度,此时降息可能为时过早。

如果数据在9月前出现明确走向,决策也许就会相对容易:如果通胀顽固且经济增长强劲,则可以推迟降息;若经济明显走弱,则有理由下调利率。但若目前这种模糊状态持续下去,鲍威尔将不得不面对更加艰难的抉择。

曾任鲍威尔副手、由特朗普任命的理查德·克拉里达(Richard Clarida)表示:

如果数据继续沿着目前的节奏演进,那就会变得非常棘手——既不足以让人毫无疑问地降息,也不够好到可以宣布胜利。因此,比一些人想象的更可能的情形是,鲍威尔干脆按兵不动,在他任期剩下的六次政策会议中均维持利率不变。

Bitcoin and Ethereum Soar Together! Eight Altcoins Worth Watching in the Later Market

Bitcoin and Ethereum Surge, Fueling Altcoin Speculation. Bitcoin Eyes $77,000, Ethereum Gains 20% in a Single Day. Market anticipates capital rotation from major cryptos to high-beta altcoins, but a selective rise is expected, favoring projects with genuine users, protocol revenue, and healthy tokenomics. Analysts highlight eight altcoins across key sectors: **High-Performance Blockchains:** * **SOL (Solana):** Market cap ~$51.88B. A dominant player with a strong ecosystem. Considered a relatively safe bet for potential catch-up growth. * **SUI (Sui):** Market cap ~$3.03B. High volatility potential but faces risks from its low circulating supply and future token unlocks. **DeFi Lending:** * **UNI (Uniswap):** Market cap ~$2.38B. Transitioning to a revenue-capturing asset post-fee switch implementation. * **AAVE (Aave):** Market cap ~$1.53B. Features balanced tokenomics and revenue but has seen significant recent gains. * **MORPHO:** Market cap ~$1.50B. Rapid protocol growth but weaker token value capture and opaque supply data. **Perpetual DEX:** * **HYPE (Hyperliquid):** Market cap ~$16.41B. The clear sector leader with strong revenue but high valuation and a large portion of tokens still locked, warranting caution. **RWA & On-Chain Finance Infrastructure:** * **LINK (Chainlink):** Market cap ~$8.09B. A key oracle provider positioned to benefit from multiple trends like RWA and institutional adoption, offering strong fundamentals. * **ONDO (Ondo Finance):** Market cap ~$1.77B. Shows strong business growth but carries high risks due to concentrated token holdings and a massive unlock scheduled for 2027. **Conclusion:** The altcoin rally is expected to be selective. Recommendations include a medium position in SOL, small allocations to SUI and UNI/AAVE for DeFi exposure, and caution with HYPE and ONDO due to their specific risks. LINK is suggested as a core holding for the RWA thematic.

Shanghai's $10 Billion Unicorn Is About to Go Public

Shanghai-based automotive-grade millimeter-wave radar chip unicorn Calterah Microelectronics Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has filed for an IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market, aiming to raise 3.49 billion yuan. Founded in 2014 by Chen Jiashu, a UC Berkeley PhD graduate, and his professor Ali Niknejad, Calterah pioneered CMOS technology for 77GHz radar chips, breaking the decades-long monopoly of international giants like Texas Instruments. Its low-cost, highly integrated solutions enabled millimeter-wave radar to move from luxury to mass-market vehicles. By 2025, Calterah captured a 31.1% share in China's automotive millimeter-wave radar chip market (second domestically, fourth globally), with cumulative shipments exceeding 30 million units. Its client list includes BYD, Geely, Nio, and Volvo. The company has undergone 11 funding rounds, attracting high-profile investors such as the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Phase II, China Capital Management, and GD Capital. Its valuation has reached tens of billions of yuan, with a projected post-IPO valuation of approximately 14 billion yuan. Despite rapid revenue growth—increasing from 206 million yuan in 2023 to 632 million yuan in 2025 with a 75.28% CAGR—Calterah remains unprofitable. It reported net losses of 323 million yuan, 334 million yuan, and 193 million yuan from 2023 to 2025, accumulating over 900 million yuan in losses over three and a half years. These losses are primarily attributed to heavy R&D investment, which totaled over 1.039 billion yuan in the reporting period, often exceeding annual revenue. The company faces significant risks, including high customer concentration (its top five customers accounted for over 99% of revenue from 2023-2025, with BYD alone representing over 50% in 2025) and supply chain concentration. Revenue pressure from key customers and dependencies on overseas suppliers for EDA tools and IP pose challenges to sustainable growth. The IPO is seen as crucial for securing capital to expand production, diversify its customer base, and reduce supply chain dependencies.

Ray Dalio's Latest Macro Analysis Full Text: Buy More Gold, Add Some Bitcoin

In his latest macro analysis, Ray Dalio applies his framework from "How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle" to the current global debt environment. He highlights recent events like Japan selling U.S. Treasuries and rising U.S. long-term yields as signs of an unsustainable debt dynamic. Dalio explains that excessive government debt leads to either unacceptably high interest rates, severe economic downturns, or significant currency debasement through central bank money printing. He summarizes the U.S. fiscal situation: with $5.5 trillion in revenue, $7.5 trillion in spending, a $2 trillion deficit, and total debt at six times annual revenue, debt servicing costs are immense. Without correction, U.S. debt could reach $55-$60 trillion in a decade. Dalio proposes a "3% Three-Way" solution: reducing the budget deficit to 3% of GDP through balanced spending cuts, tax increases, and interest rate reductions to avoid a traumatic adjustment. In response to FAQs, he argues that the risk of a U.S. debt crisis is high and could materialize within a few years if the current path continues. He dismisses the notion that the dollar's reserve status makes the U.S. immune, citing historical precedents of reserve currency declines. He is also unconvinced by Japan's high-debt stability, noting poor returns for yen-denominated assets. For investors, Dalio recommends diversifying globally, underweighting bonds, and overweighting assets like gold and a small allocation to Bitcoin (around 10-15% to gold) to hedge against currency debasement and poor debt returns.

Stripe’s 16-Year Chronicle: From 7 Lines of Code to a $100 Billion Valuation

Stripe's 16-year journey began with a simple promise: "7 lines of code to accept payments." Founded by Patrick and John Collison, the company started by hiding the complexity of bank integrations and merchant accounts behind a clean API, initially targeting developers at startups. This early focus on user experience and technical simplicity fueled rapid adoption. A key early milestone was establishing vital bank partnerships, a challenge overcome by hiring Billy Alvarado, who brought crucial institutional relationship skills. From this foundation, Stripe systematically expanded its product boundaries. It launched Connect for platform payments, Atlas for company formation, Radar for fraud prevention, and Billing for subscriptions. This transformed Stripe from a payment processor into a broader financial infrastructure suite for internet businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth but also led to over-hiring. A 14% layoff in 2022 marked a period of organizational correction. Subsequently, Stripe shifted its growth strategy towards strategic acquisitions to enter new domains quickly. It acquired Bridge (stablecoin infrastructure), Privy (wallet infrastructure), Metronome (usage-based billing), and agreed to buy OpenRouter (AI model routing). These moves signal Stripe's ambition to build a "programmable money system" for the emerging AI and agent-based economy, managing not just currency flows but also the measurement and pricing of computational resources like AI tokens. Internally, Stripe leverages AI agents (like "Minions") to boost engineering productivity. Despite scaling to nearly 8,000 employees and processing $1.9 trillion in payment volume annually, the company remains private. A recent employee tender offer valued it at $159 billion. The core question for Stripe's future is whether it can successfully integrate its expanding product matrix—spanning payments, crypto, and AI infrastructure—into a cohesive platform, positioning itself as the foundational economic layer for autonomous software agents.
