为什么唐纳德·特朗普坚持控制美联储?

币界网报道:

唐纳德·特朗普无法停止谈论美联储。这家伙一直在告诉我们,他认为总统应该对美联储的运作方式有更大的发言权,尤其是在利率方面。

在最近于马阿拉歌庄园举行的新闻发布会上,这位共和党候选人重申了他对美联储“大错特错”的看法

他以典型的特朗普风格辩称,他的直觉——由多年的商业赚钱塑造——比目前管理美联储的人要好。

但特朗普并不是唯一一个这么想的人。他的竞选搭档、俄亥俄州参议员JD Vance也在他身边。在最近的一次采访中,万斯表示,利率决定“从根本上说应该是一个政治决定”

副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯

当然,民主党候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)没有这些。她在亚利桑那州停留时回击说:

“美联储是一个独立的实体,作为总统,我永远不会干涉美联储做出的决定。”

特朗普与美联储:权力斗争正在酝酿

事情是这样的:美联储一直与白宫分开。总统无权决定利率,这是美联储的工作。这种设置旨在使货币政策等事情免受政治废话的影响。

《联邦储备法》基本上说,美联储需要把重点放在保持人们就业、保持价格稳定和确保利率不疯狂上。但作为特朗普,特朗普并不喜欢这种安排。

Why does Donald Trump insist on controlling the Federal Reserve?

就在上个月,特朗普表示,如果他再次当选,他将“大幅降低利率”。他认为通货膨胀和高利率正在“摧毁我们的国家”

“我把通货膨胀率降下来了,”他承诺,“这样人们就可以再次购买培根,这样人们就能够再次购买火腿三明治,这样人们就能去餐馆买得起。”经典的特朗普,对吧?带有民粹主义色彩的大胆承诺。

通货膨胀、利率和特朗普无休止的斗争

自从新冠肺炎爆发以来,通货膨胀一直让人头疼。价格疯狂飙升,达到了40多年来从未见过的水平。美联储试图通过在2022年3月至2023年7月期间11次加息来降温。

联邦基金利率目前在5.25%至5.50%之间。这个想法是让经济放缓到足以控制通货膨胀的程度。

但现在,事情开始稳定下来。通货膨胀率正在缓慢回落,接近美联储2%的目标。

6月,个人消费支出价格指数(基本上是美联储最喜欢的通胀指标)同比增长2.5%。

随着通胀降温,美联储可能最终开始考虑多年来首次降低基准利率。

当然,特朗普多年来一直在呼吁降低利率。记住,他在2018年提名杰罗姆·鲍威尔领导美联储,但这并没有阻止他公开抨击鲍威尔和美联储的决定。

特朗普抨击美联储将利率维持在过高水平,认为这使企业和普通人更难借钱。

杰罗姆·鲍威尔在参议院作证

他还声称,与利率较低的国家相比,这使美国处于经济劣势。但是,尽管他的声音很大,美联储还是没有让步。

现在,特朗普有了一个新的抱怨:潜在降息的时机。他一直在警告美联储在即将到来的总统选举之前不要降息。

上周,他表示,在选举前几周的9月份降息是“(央行官员)知道他们不应该做的事情”

特朗普仍然不信任鲍威尔。今年早些时候,他表示,如果有机会,他不会再次任命鲍威尔为美联储主席。

Rented Faith: How Much of the Bitcoin ETF Inflows Is Real Money?

"Rented Conviction: How Much of Bitcoin ETF Flows Is Real Money" The weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are often interpreted as a gauge of institutional belief. However, a significant portion of this activity is driven by a hidden arbitrage trade, not directional conviction. The core mechanism is a cash-and-carry arbitrage: traders buy spot Bitcoin (often via ETFs) while simultaneously shorting CME futures to lock in the price difference, or "basis." This delta-neutral trade is essentially an interest rate play. In weekly data, about half the fluctuation in ETF flows can be explained by new short positions added by leveraged funds (hedge funds), with a correlation of 0.70. Bitcoin's price movement in a given week shows no statistical power in predicting these flows. While this arbitrage trade drives weekly *volatility*, it is not the main component of the cumulative *stock*. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows, the current net arbitrage position is only about $1 billion. The remainder is steady, directional buying averaging ~$400 million per week, which constitutes the vast majority of the accumulated "mountain" over two years. Thus, ETF flow data overstates the *volatility* of conviction, not its *level*. This arbitrage trade has been unwinding for nearly two years. Leveraged fund short positions peaked at ~$14 billion in late 2024 and have since declined to ~$4.5 billion. When the basis compresses to unprofitable levels, ETF inflows and short positions retreat together. Recent outflows should not be mistaken for a loss of faith but rather the routine unwinding of this rate trade. For Ethereum ETFs, the pattern is weaker. Accounting for staking yield makes the basis often negative, so neither strong conviction buying nor robust arbitrage supports its flows. To interpret ETF flows correctly, monitor the CME basis versus T-bill rates and leveraged fund net shorts. They reveal how much of the next "demand" headline is real. The real, patient buy-and-hold demand is what constitutes the enduring bulk of ETF assets.

Soaring Over Tenfold Within the Year: The Frenzy Over SK Hynix Leveraged Products

South China Morning Post The leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has surged over tenfold year-to-date, fueled by intense market speculation on the memory chip sector. By June 22, the value of the 'South Korea 2x Long SK Hynix ETF' listed in Hong Kong had skyrocketed by more than 1,061% since the start of the year, while its asset size exploded over twenty times from the end of last year. The rally is driven by AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), with SK Hynix recently sampling its next-generation HBM4E product. However, industry professionals warn of significant risks. Leveraged ETFs magnify both gains and losses. During a recent market correction, while the underlying SK Hynix stock fell 19.1%, its double-leveraged ETF dropped nearly 38%. Korean regulators noted that such products could theoretically lose 60% in a single day. Additionally, these ETFs face risks like time decay in volatile markets, liquidity spirals during mass redemptions, and extreme price dislocations from market-making failures, as seen in early June when an ETF moved opposite to its underlying stock. The trading is predominantly driven by retail investors, with institutional capital largely absent due to the products' high volatility. Analysts caution that with the semiconductor sector at elevated valuations and facing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties, leveraged ETFs pose a substantial threat of amplified losses for uninformed investors.

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.
