两票反对又能怎?美联储依旧不降息

比推2025-07-30 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-07-30 tarihinde güncellendi

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。

Silicon Valley 'Startup Guru' Steve Hoffman: Web3 + AI Could Be a Trap

Silicon Valley investor and "Godfather of Startups" Steve Hoffman warns that combining Web3 with AI is likely a trap, not a promising venture. In an interview, Hoffman argues that while AI is a foundational technology touching all industries, Web3 adds complexity, friction, and regulatory risk without solving mainstream consumer or business needs. He advises founders to focus on deep, specialized applications where startups can out-iterate giants, rather than on generic features easily replicated by large tech companies. Hoffman observes that Silicon Valley will lead foundational AI research, while China excels at rapid, large-scale application and commercialization, particularly in robotics. He stresses that AI-driven autonomous agents capable of collaborative, multi-step tasks are 2-4 years away, which will cause significant job displacement. The solution is not to slow AI but to redesign business models around human-AI collaboration and reform social systems like education and retraining. For startups, Hoffman recommends focusing on vertical, expertise-heavy domains to build defensibility. He sees major opportunities in AI fraud detection and cybersecurity. Key founder mindsets include systemic thinking over feature-focus, relentless customer centricity, building adaptive teams, and deeply understanding AI's capabilities and limits. Hoffman is also leading a non-profit initiative to establish university centers aimed at training future leaders in responsible, human-value-aligned AI innovation.

Token Inefficient, Economy Tokenless

The article "Tokens Aren't Economical, Economics Aren't Tokenized" analyzes a pivotal shift in the AI industry from a technology-driven narrative to one dominated by capital efficiency. It highlights two concurrent trends: a severe capital shortage due to the exorbitant and recurring costs of compute (e.g., OpenAI's high burn rate) and a wave of corporate spin-offs where major tech companies are separating their AI units (like Kuaishou's Kling and Baidu's Kunlunxin). The core argument is that AI's "anti-internet" business model, where user growth increases costs rather than profits, has created a disconnect between high valuations and actual cash flow. Spin-offs address this by allowing AI assets to be valued independently. Within a parent company, they are seen as cost centers, but as standalone entities, they are priced based on their growth potential and scarcity in the primary market, leading to massive valuation premiums (e.g., Kling's estimated value tripling post-spin-off). The industry is at an inflection point, moving from "model worship" to "value realization." The competition is evolving from a pure compute (GPU) race to a broader focus on systemic efficiency and full-stack engineering (involving CPUs and orchestration) to achieve viable commercialization. The year 2026 is framed as a critical moment where the industry must definitively answer how to economically translate AI capability into tangible business value, reshaping the sector's future power structure.

Crossing the 'Memory Wall': The Wafer-Level Revolution and Computing Power Routes in the AI Inference Era

In 2026, a historic shift occurred in AI as major cloud providers' inference spending surpassed training spending for the first time, signaling a move from "building large models" to "using large models." This shifts the core challenge from computing power to the "memory wall"—the bottleneck of data movement (model weights, activations, KV Cache) between external DRAM and processors, where energy and latency from data transfer far exceed computation itself. Companies like Nvidia face GPU idle time due to bandwidth limits. In contrast, Cerebras Systems adopts a radical "wafer-scale" approach with its Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). Instead of cutting a silicon wafer into many chips, Cerebras uses almost the entire wafer as one massive chip (WSE-3). This design provides 44GB of on-chip SRAM, delivering memory bandwidth thousands of times higher than traditional HBM (e.g., 21 PB/s vs. Nvidia B200). For LLM inference, weights are streamed layer-by-layer from external MemoryX storage to the chip, avoiding HBM bottlenecks. This results in token generation speeds 1.5–5 times faster than Nvidia's B200 in some models and significant advantages in first-token latency and long-context tasks. Additionally, Cerebras's architecture offers much lower interconnect power consumption (0.15 pJ/bit vs. GPU's ~10 pJ/bit). However, Cerebras faces challenges: SRAM scaling has slowed with advanced nodes, limiting future capacity gains; the chip requires specialized liquid cooling and custom software stacks; and its external I/O bandwidth (150 GB/s) is low compared to NVLink, hindering multi-system scaling for very large models. Competition is intensifying. Major players are pursuing three paths: 1) Developing proprietary inference ASICs (e.g., Google TPU, Microsoft Maia), 2) Leveraging advanced packaging (e.g., TSMC's SoW) to democratize wafer-scale-like integration, potentially eroding Cerebras's process advantage within a few years, and 3) Exploring optical interconnects for ultimate bandwidth. Commercially, Cerebras is transitioning from a hardware vendor to a service provider, facing the immense challenge of building high-power, specialized data centers to meet large contracts (e.g., 250MW/year from 2026–2028). In conclusion, the AI inference era presents a fundamental architectural trade-off. Cerebras opts for extreme physical optimization for low-latency, single-task performance, while Nvidia prioritizes versatility and massive cluster throughput. The path forward remains uncertain, with technology and business models still evolving in the race toward advanced AI.

Has Bitcoin's 'Rebound Ended', Officially Entering the Late Bear Market Phase?

**Title: Has Bitcoin's Rebound Ended, Entering the Late Bear Market Phase?** **Summary:** Bitcoin's price has declined by 13% this week, signaling a potential return to late-stage bear market conditions. The price fell to around $67k, positioned between the Realized Price and Realized Cap Weighted Average. For the first time since early 2022, the Short-Term Holder cost basis has dropped below this key average, confirming a hallmark of late-cycle bear markets. Profitability metrics have collapsed sharply. The 7-day average of the Realized Profit/Loss ratio plummeted from a local high of 3.16 to 0.29, mirroring the February panic sell-off. Critically, the 90-day average never breached the threshold of 2, indicating the recent rally to $82k was a bear market bounce, not a structural shift. Realized losses surged to $1.35 billion daily, with $770 million coming from Long-Term Holders selling at a loss. This accelerating redistribution of supply from weak to strong hands is a necessary but ongoing process for a market bottom. The rally stalled almost precisely at the aggregate cost basis (~$83k) of US spot Bitcoin ETF investors, turning that level into strong resistance and leaving the average ETF holder underwater again. Spot market flows have turned decisively negative, showing sellers are dominating order books despite the price drop. While a significant futures long liquidation event cleared over $400 million in leverage, providing a potential reset, sustained spot demand is yet to materialize. Options markets continue to price in higher future volatility (Implied Volatility) than recent price action (Realized Volatility) has shown, with a persistent skew towards put options, indicating ongoing demand for downside protection. In conclusion, multiple metrics point to a fragile market structure. Resistance at the ETF cost basis, accelerating realized losses, dominant spot selling, and cautious options pricing all suggest the bear market trend persists. A sustainable recovery likely requires a resurgence of spot demand, ETF holders returning to profit, and a clear reduction in selling pressure.

TechFlow Intelligence Agency: Anthropic Calls for Global Pause in AI Development While Preparing for Trillion-Dollar IPO; SpaceX IPO Roadshow Heats Up, But S&P 500 Rejects Fast-Track Inclusion

In today's TechFlow Intelligence Briefing, several major tech stories highlight a growing theme of trust and credibility gaps across AI, crypto, and finance. AI company Anthropic has publicly called for a global pause in AI development, citing risks from Claude's "recursive self-improvement." Ironically, this coincides with reports the company is preparing for a massive IPO targeting a near $1 trillion valuation. This perceived hypocrisy, coupled with widespread user complaints about Claude's declining performance, is sparking debate over whether the safety warning is genuine or a competitive tactic. Meanwhile, in a substantive security move, Anthropic open-sourced a framework for AI-powered vulnerability discovery. In the crypto market, Bitcoin's price drop below $61,000 triggered over $1.16 billion in liquidations, flipping the market into a state where more BTC is held at a loss than at a profit, a historical bearish signal. On the corporate front, SpaceX's highly anticipated IPO is generating immense Wall Street excitement, with Goldman Sachs projecting 100x revenue growth by 2030. However, the S&P 500 has refused to fast-track the company's inclusion post-IPO, potentially limiting immediate institutional demand. Separately, ByteDance's AI app Doubao lost over 6 million monthly active users after introducing a subscription model, highlighting the challenges of AI monetization. Other notable developments include Nvidia certifying HBM4 memory from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron; Cloudflare's acquisition of front-end tooling company VoidZero; and its CEO warning that bot traffic now exceeds human traffic online. The underlying narrative connects these events: a trust crisis. From AI firms' contradictory actions and crypto volatility to the clash between SpaceX's hyped narrative and institutional rules, a pattern is emerging where stated intentions and actual practices are increasingly misaligned.
