这段视频讨论了最近的市场波动、潜在的驱动因素以及即将到来的政策变化,特别关注关税问题。演讲者认为,尽管通胀数据高于预期,但近期股市下跌,尤其是标准普尔500指数的下跌,并非完全由通胀担忧驱动。他指出,10年期国债收益率下降就是反对此观点的证据。相反,他认为市场的波动与预计即将宣布的重大政策变化有关,特别是与贸易相关的政策,其中最引人注目的是4月2日的“解放日”。演讲者重申了他关于政策驱动市场价格的观点,并强调了他2024年12月市场展望的准确性,他在其中预测了标准普尔500指数、黄金和10年期国债收益率的目标,而这些目标都在朝着他最初的预测方向发展。
随后,讨论转向三个关键议题:新的汽车关税、纽约联邦储备银行关于学生贷款拖欠的研究,以及“解放日”。
首先,演讲者深入探讨了特朗普总统宣布的25%汽车关税。他提到关税背后的既定理由:国家安全,需要国内的钢铁和铝产量。尽管美国汽车公司的首席执行官们表达了担忧,但美国汽车工人联合会支持这项关税。该关税主要影响墨西哥、日本、韩国和加拿大等向美国出口汽车的主要国家。演讲者指出,由于北美内部复杂的供应链,关税对墨西哥和加拿大的影响可能会因美国制造的零部件的豁免而有所缓解。然而,像韩国这样拥有大量向美国出口汽车且缺乏美国制造零部件的国家将受到严重影响。演讲者认为,这种脆弱性可能促使现代汽车的首席执行官宣布在美国建立工厂以避免关税。日本汽车行业在过去谈判后已将生产多元化到美国,因此总体影响较小,尽管从日本出口的高端车型仍将受到关税的影响。演讲者认为,新政策的长期目标是让更多的外国汽车制造商开始在美国生产更多的汽车。
其次,演讲者谈到了一项纽约联邦储备银行的研究,该研究将学生贷款拖欠与消费者债务拖欠的增加(如信用卡债务)联系起来。他指出,美国有1.5万亿美元的学生贷款,这是高昂学费和政府补贴学生贷款的结果。他解释说,拜登政府在新冠疫情期间暂停学生贷款支付,加上通过“首次开始”等计划免除拖欠和违约记录,人为地提高了数百万人的信用评分。随着这些计划的结束和学生贷款支付的恢复,拖欠率的潜在激增可能会严重影响信用评分,特别是对于那些从信用评分提升中受益的人。这可以解释其他消费债务类别拖欠率上升的原因,因为那些信用评分被人为提高的人不再像以前那样能够借到那么多钱。演讲者认为对抵押贷款的影响可能较小,但仍可能影响信用卡等业务。
最后,演讲者讨论了4月2日的“解放日”,预计特朗普政府将公布互惠关税。他指出,尽管有各种暗示,但具体细节仍存在不确定性,并引用了《华盛顿邮报》的一篇报道,该报道称相关团队仍在变动中。演讲者强调,根据行政命令,政府在定义“关税”方面拥有广泛的回旋余地,可能包括税收和非关税贸易壁垒。这可能使他们能够实施范围广泛的措施。他重点提到,有报道称欧盟可能会面临20-25%的一揽子关税。虽然特朗普政府只对15个国家征收关税,只有少数与美国进行贸易的国家可能会对宏观经济产生重大影响,但演讲者认为市场对这一事件的重视程度严重不足。他预计股市可能存在下行风险,并强调中国和欧洲国家可能因贸易逆差较高而受到关税的最大影响。演讲者最后说,这将是一件大事,市场并没有预料到,而且下行风险可能很大。
This video discusses the recent market volatility, potential drivers, and upcoming policy changes, particularly focusing on tariffs. The speaker suggests the recent stock market downturn, specifically in the S&P 500, is not solely driven by inflation fears despite higher-than-expected inflation data. He points to declining 10-year yields as evidence against this. Instead, he believes the market's movement is tied to anticipated significant policy changes, especially related to trade, set to be announced soon, notably "Liberation Day" on April 2nd. The speaker reiterates his view that policy drives market prices and highlights the accuracy of his market outlook from December 2024, where he predicted targets for the S&P 500, gold, and the 10-year yield, all of which are trending towards his initial projections.
The discussion then moves to three key topics: new auto tariffs, a New York Fed study on student loan delinquencies, and "Liberation Day."
First, the speaker delves into the 25% auto tariffs announced by President Trump. He mentions the stated rationale behind the tariffs: national security, requiring domestic steel and aluminum production. While US auto companies' CEOs express concern, the United Auto Workers union supports the tariffs. The tariff primarily impacts countries like Mexico, Japan, Korea, and Canada, key exporters of autos to the US. The speaker notes that due to intricate supply chains within North America, the tariff's impact on Mexico and Canada might be somewhat mitigated by the exemption of US-made parts. However, countries like South Korea, with significant auto exports to the US lacking US-made components, will be heavily affected. The speaker suggests this vulnerability may have prompted Hyundai's CEO to announce building a US factory to avoid tariffs. Japan's auto industry, having diversified production to the US after past negotiations, will be less affected overall, although exports of higher-end models from Japan will still be subject to tariffs. The speaker believes that the long-term objective of the new policy is for more foreign car manufacturers to begin to build more cars in the U.S..
Second, the speaker addresses a New York Fed study linking student loan delinquencies to rising consumer debt delinquencies, like credit card debt. He notes the $1.5 trillion in student loan volume in the US, a consequence of high tuition costs and government-subsidized student loans. He explains that the Biden administration's pause on student loan payments during COVID, coupled with forgiving delinquency and default records through programs like "first starts", artificially boosted credit scores for millions. As these programs end and student loan payments resume, a potential surge in delinquencies could significantly impact credit scores, particularly for those who benefited from the boosted scores. This could explain the rising delinquencies in other consumer debt categories as individuals who had artifically boosted credit scores are no longer able to borrow as much as they previously had. The speaker believes the impact on mortgages may be less significant, but could still impact things like credit cards.
Finally, the speaker discusses "Liberation Day" on April 2nd, when the Trump administration is expected to reveal reciprocal tariffs. He notes the uncertainty surrounding the specifics, despite teases, citing a Washington Post report suggesting the team is still in flux. The speaker emphasizes the broad leeway granted to the administration to define "tariffs" under the executive order, potentially encompassing taxes and non-tariff trade barriers. This could allow them to impose a wide range of measures. He highlights reports of potential blanket tariffs of 20-25% on the European Union. While the Trump administration has focused tariffs on only 15 countries, with only a few countries who are trading with the U.S. likely to have big macroeconomic impacts, the speaker believes this event is significantly underappreciated by the market. He anticipates a potential downside risk in the equity market and highlights China and European countries as likely to be the most impacted by tariffs due to high levels of trade deficit. The speaker concludes by saying that it is going to be a big deal that the market is not anticipating and that the downside is likely sizeable.
