这份“市场周报”视频文字稿总结了过去一周的主要市场事件和趋势,重点关注通货膨胀、中东地区潜在的冲突以及美元走弱。发言者首先指出市场活动频繁,预计这种趋势将持续。
**通货膨胀和就业数据:** 中心论点是美联储(Fed)在降息方面行动迟缓。尽管存在对通货膨胀的担忧,但近期数据显示通胀呈下降趋势。消费者价格指数(CPI)低于预期,虽然总体CPI同比上涨约2.5%,但核心CPI略低于3%。能源领域的通货紧缩是一个因素。生产者价格指数(PPI)也低于预期。
发言者指出,密歇根大学和纽约联邦储备银行等调查机构衡量的通货膨胀预期也在下降。市场指标,如一年期通货膨胀互换合约,证实了这一趋势。
在就业方面,虽然就业创造仍然为正,但劳动力市场出现了裂痕。持续申领失业金人数上升至多年来的高位,表明人们在失去之前的工作后,更难找到新工作。这表明整体劳动力市场正在走弱。发言者认为,这些数据应促使美联储采取更积极的降息措施,可能超过市场目前预期的两次降息。即将召开的美联储会议和点阵图预计将提供进一步的见解。
**潜在的新任美联储主席:** 提到明年可能由特朗普任命的人选取代现任美联储主席。讨论的潜在候选人包括凯文·沃尔什(一个超级鹰派)、州长沃勒和贝松部长,但很难确定。
**中东冲突和石油价格:** 发言者强调,市场通常不像人们普遍认为的那样具有前瞻性,并以COVID-19和美中贸易战为例。这引出了以色列和伊朗之间潜在的战争。
发言者指出,最近对伊朗的袭击已被广泛预告且执行良好,可能目标是伊朗的核设施。白宫最初否认参与,但后来承担了一些责任。市场立即的反应是油价飙升。有人认为,精明的石油界人士表示,高油价现在是一种地缘政治溢价。他们担心伊朗关闭霍尔木兹海峡,这可能会影响全球航运。内塔尼亚胡暗示这可能持续数周。
**美元走弱:** 发言者强调,美元并未因地缘政治不确定性而获得典型的避险需求。这归因于通货膨胀数据低于预期,这可能导致更多的降息。然而,发言者认为更广泛的趋势正在发挥作用:美元走弱。预计这种趋势将持续并影响各种美国资产。
**主权信用违约互换 (CDS) 比较:** 对美国主权信用违约互换(CDS)做出了一个有趣的观察。 这些是对主权债务违约的保险合约。发言者指出,自“解放日”(可能指的是特定的政策转变)以来,美国 CDS 的定价有所上升,现在与希腊和意大利等国相当。这表明更广泛的趋势是美元走弱、外国从美国国债中重新平衡资产,以及对美国治理的担忧。预计美国的去美元化将继续。
黄金继续飙升,现在是各国央行持有的第二大储备资产。
This "Markets Weekly" video transcript summarizes key market events and trends from the past week, focusing on inflation, the potential for conflict in the Middle East, and the weakening US dollar. The speaker begins by noting the action-packed nature of the market, a trend expected to continue.
**Inflation and Employment Data:** The central argument is that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is lagging in its approach to rate cuts. Despite concerns about inflation, recent data suggests it's trending downwards. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in lower than expected, and while headline CPI is around 2.5% year-over-year, core CPI is slightly under 3%. Deflation in energy is a factor. The Producer Price Index (PPI) also printed lower than expected.
The speaker points out that inflation expectations, as measured by surveys like the University of Michigan's and the New York Fed's, are also trending downwards. Market-based measures, such as one-year inflation swaps, confirm this trend.
On the employment front, while job creation remains positive, there are signs of cracks in the labor market. Continuing unemployment claims are rising to multi-year highs, indicating that people are having more difficulty finding new jobs after losing their previous ones. This suggests an overall weakening labor market. The speaker believes this data should prompt the Fed to become more aggressive with rate cuts, potentially more than the two currently priced in by the market. The upcoming Fed meeting and dot plot are anticipated to provide further insights.
**Potential New Fed Chair:** The potential replacement of the current Fed chair next year by a Trump appointee is mentioned. Potential candidates discussed include Kevin Walsh (a mega-hawk), Governor Waller, and Secretary Besson, but it is hard to tell.
**Middle East Conflict and Oil Prices:** The speaker emphasizes that the market often isn't as forward-looking as commonly believed, citing COVID-19 and the US-China trade war as examples. This brings them to the potential war between Israel and Iran.
The speaker notes that the recent attack on Iran was widely telegraphed and well-executed, potentially targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. The White House initially denied involvement but then took some credit. The immediate market reaction was a spike in oil prices. It is suggested that smart oil guys are saying that high oil prices are geopolitical premium now. They are worried about Iran closing the streets of Harmoos, that could impact global shipping. Nathanyahu suggested this could go on for weeks.
**Weakening US Dollar:** The speaker highlights that the US dollar is not receiving a typical safe-haven bid in response to geopolitical uncertainties. This is attributed to a softer-than-expected inflation print, which could lead to more rate cuts. However, the speaker believes a broader trend is at play: a weakening dollar. This trend is expected to continue and impact various US assets.
**Sovereign CDS Comparison:** An interesting observation is made regarding US sovereign Credit Default Swaps (CDS). These are insurance contracts against sovereign debt default. The speaker notes that US CDS pricing has risen since "Liberation Day" (likely referring to a specific policy shift) and is now comparable to countries like Greece and Italy. This suggests a broader trend of a weakening dollar, foreign rebalancing out of US treasuries, and concerns about US governance. The de-dollarization of the US is anticipated to continue.
Gold continues to surge and is now the second largest reserve asset held by central banks.
