以下是将上述内容翻译成中文: 这期4月19日的“市场周报”视频主要关注两个重大事件:特朗普总统与美联储之间明显升级的冲突,以及持续的贸易紧张局势的最新进展。整体主题围绕着这些政策对市场和全球经济的潜在影响。 视频讨论的第一个主要问题是特朗普对美联储主席“Chirpau”(很可能是指鲍威尔主席)日益严厉的批评,以及可能更换他的举动。视频一开始将特朗普的行为定义为更广泛的“反革命”,目标是机构,通过移除人员并试图安插自己的人。此处的担忧在于,虽然这种行为对于某些职位(例如财政部长)是可以接受的,但美联储通常被视为一个独立的机构。特朗普试图更换美联储官员引发了人们对央行独立性的质疑。 然后,演讲者提到了“Chirpau”的一份声明,其中他说美联储不会干预以拯救股市,并承诺观察数据做出回应,但不会先发制人地降息。特朗普将此解读为针对他的政治操纵。特朗普曾表示他对“Chirpau”不满,甚至考虑用凯文·沃什(Kevin Warsh)取代他,后者是前美联储理事,以鹰派立场著称。演讲者对此感到困惑,因为他认为鹰派政策只会使情况恶化。 对特朗普可能影响美联储的担忧被比作埃尔多安总统对土耳其货币政策的影响,后者任命亲信进入中央银行导致了非正统且不成功的政策。人们担心特朗普的行为可能会导致类似的情况,即对美元和美国金融市场失去信心,因为失去独立的货币政策对金融市场不利。演讲者还指出,财政部长和凯文·沃什都劝阻特朗普解雇美联储主席。 演讲者引用研究表明,美元已经显示出失去光彩的迹象,因为与外汇对冲的德国债券相比,持有美国国债的溢价正在消失。这被视为外国投资者信心下降的指标。 视频承认,美联储主席的任命需要参议院确认,并且即使不解雇鲍威尔,特朗普明年也将能够任命自己的美联储主席。 然后,视频退一步,从特朗普的角度考虑情况。特朗普认为美联储正在被政治化并采取不利于他的行动,并举例说明美联储官员暗示货币政策以将特朗普赶下台,以及美联储去年选举前降息。演讲者强调,这是特朗普认为正在发生的事情。 视频的第二部分介绍了贸易的最新进展。与日本的谈判没有达成任何决议,特朗普推动日本承担更多美国军事基地的费用并购买更多美国汽车。演讲者指出,美国汽车在日本不是很受欢迎。 相比之下,意大利总理梅洛尼是一位对特朗普友好的领导人,她要求特朗普前往意大利参加欧洲层面的峰会,讨论贸易问题。特朗普似乎对达成协议持乐观态度,但演讲者明确表示这只是初步的。 随后,焦点转向中国,贸易谈判似乎缺乏进展。特朗普公开指责中国导致了COVID-19疫情,这似乎对已经紧张的关系产生了负面影响。 最后,视频提出了欧洲央行(ECB)关于贸易战的另一种观点。虽然美国可能会经历负面的供给冲击,导致更高的价格和更慢的增长,但欧洲央行认为贸易战对欧洲来说是负面的需求冲击,可能导致更低的增长和更低的通货膨胀。这是因为欧洲是一个出口国,贸易被重新引导到欧洲,从而增加了供应。这种分歧表明美国和欧洲之间的货币政策将进一步不同。 视频最后预测“与美联储的战争”将有进一步的发展,并承诺密切关注政治气候。

This "Markets Weekly" video on April 19th, focuses on two major developments: President Trump's apparent escalating conflict with the Federal Reserve and updates on ongoing trade tensions. The overall theme revolves around the potential impacts of these policies on the markets and the global economy. The first major issue discussed is Trump's increasing criticism of Federal Reserve Chair "Chirpau" (likely Chair Powell) and potential efforts to replace him. The video begins by framing Trump's actions as a broader "counter-revolution" targeting institutions by removing individuals and trying to install his own people. The concern here is that while such actions are acceptable for some positions like Treasury Secretary, the Fed is commonly viewed as an independent body. Trump attempting to replace Fed officials raises questions about the central bank's independence. The speaker then brings up a statement from "Chirpau" who said the Fed would not intervene to save the stock market, and committing to observing data to respond, but not cutting rates preemptively. Trump interpreted this as political maneuvering against him. Trump has said he is unhappy with "Chirpau" and has even considered replacing him with Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor known for his hawkish stance. The speaker finds this confusing since he believes a hawkish policy would only worsen the situation. The concern about Trump's potential influence over the Fed is compared to President Erdogan's influence on monetary policy in Turkey, where appointing loyalists to the central bank led to unorthodox and unsuccessful policies. The fear is that Trump's actions might lead to a similar loss of faith in the dollar and U.S. financial markets, as losing independent monetary policy would be bad for financial markets. The speaker also notes that Secretary of the Treasury and Kevin Warsh have discouraged Trump from firing the Fed Chair. The speaker cites research suggesting that the dollar is already showing signs of losing its luster, as the premium traditionally associated with holding U.S. Treasury bonds compared to FX-hedged German bonds is disappearing. This is seen as an indicator of declining foreign investor confidence. The video acknowledges that the Fed Chair appointment is subject to Senate confirmation and, even without firing Powell, Trump will get to appoint his own Fed Chair next year. The video then takes a step back and considers the situation from Trump's perspective. Trump believes the Fed is being politicized and acting against him, given examples like Fed officials suggesting monetary policy to push Trump out of office, and the Fed cutting rates right before the election last year. The speaker emphasizes that this is what Trump believes is happening. The second part of the video addresses updates on trade. Negotiations with Japan haven't led to any resolutions, with Trump pushing for Japan to shoulder more of the cost of U.S. military bases and buy more American cars. The speaker notes that American cars aren't very popular in Japan. In contrast, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy is a Trump-friendly leader, who requested Trump to come to Italy for a summit at the European level to discuss trade. Trump appeared optimistic about reaching a deal, but the speaker made it clear that this is preliminary. The focus then shifts to China, where there appears to be a lack of progress in trade negotiations. Trump's public blaming of China for the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have negatively impacted the already strained relationship. Finally, the video presents an alternative perspective on trade wars from the European Central Bank (ECB). While the U.S. might experience a negative supply shock leading to higher prices and slower growth, the ECB sees the trade war as a negative demand shock for Europe, potentially leading to lower growth and lower inflation. This is because Europe is an exporter, and trade being rerouted to Europe, thus increasing supply. This divergence suggests further differences in monetary policy between the U.S. and Europe. The video concludes by anticipating further developments in the "war against the Fed" and promising to watch the political climate closely.
