以下是该内容的中文翻译: 这份于7月4日录制的“市场周报”更新,涵盖了近期市场发展,重点关注英国的财政挑战、美国的经济形势以及不断升级的贸易战。演讲者首先提到标准普尔500指数创下历史新高,并将部分涨幅归因于经济不确定性驱动下的企业股票回购。 首先讨论的是英国的经济形势。演讲者将英国的现状与前首相利兹·特拉斯的支出计划引发的市场动荡进行了对比,强调了近期市场对英国财政政策担忧的反应。具体而言,围绕财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯可能提出的福利削减计划以及她可能被撤换的猜测,导致英国国债收益率飙升,英镑贬值,股市抛售。虽然局势已经平静下来,但演讲者质疑为什么英国会被单独挑出来,因为许多国家都面临着类似的财政挑战。 他随后分析了英国的经济指标,指出其债务与GDP之比约为100%,财政赤字相对较高,并通过增加税收来控制赤字。然而,他警告说,更高的税收可能会阻碍增长,并指出有大量富人离开英国。虽然总体GDP有所增长,但由于移民的影响,人均GDP已经停滞了十年。演讲者总结说,英国面临着增长有限、税收增加和财政状况不稳定的挑战,但他指出这在西方国家中并非独一无二。他推测,市场最终可能会对法国等国家,甚至可能对美国出现类似的情况更加敏感,到目前为止,这种情况主要体现在美元贬值上。 转向美国,演讲者讨论了两个关键发展:总统的“伟大的、美丽的法案”(BBB)的通过以及非农就业报告。他表示失望的是,BBB尽管最初人们期望能够实现财政责任,但预计将在可预见的未来导致约6-7%的财政赤字。虽然他承认BBB主要延续了之前的减税政策,并且增加的Terrafra收入提供了一些抵消,但演讲者认为,主要影响在于未能实现预期的财政约束。他批评在财政法案中使用日落条款来低估其长期成本。他认为,财政政策的最终驱动因素是国会在解决支出问题上的政治意愿。演讲者认为,除非出现重大的市场反应,例如货币危机或股市下跌,否则政客们几乎没有动力改变方针。 关于非农就业报告,演讲者指出,包括他自己在内的许多人预计由于持续申领失业金人数上升和ADP报告不佳,该报告会表现疲软。然而,官方报告显示,就业创造出人意料地大幅增加,失业率下降。这一积极的消息导致市场降低了降息预期,并提振了股市。尽管头条新闻是积极的,但演讲者强调了一些潜在的含糊之处。失业率的下降部分原因是劳动参与率的下降,工资增长已经放缓,而且大部分新增就业岗位都集中在公共部门,而私营部门的就业创造仍在下降。他总结说,劳动力市场的趋势仍然表明是趋于缓和或疲软。 最后,演讲者谈到了贸易战。他提到最近的“解放日”,即最低关税的实施,随后特朗普总统暗示这不是“艰难的一天”,并暗示存在谈判的可能性。然而,他指出,在“伟大的法案”通过且市场处于历史高位的情况下,特朗普可能更有空间采取破坏性行动。他提到特朗普宣布从7月4日开始向各国发送关税信函,潜在关税幅度从10%到70%不等。他指出,越南达成了一项贸易协议,但关税仍然为20%,高于最低水平,但低于之前。他强调了政府打击中国转运贸易的努力。他最后指出,与日本、韩国和欧盟等亲密盟友的贸易协议陷入僵局,这表明谈判可能陷入僵局。演讲者质疑特朗普在贸易战方面是否有政治资本可以利用,并认为贸易担忧可能会再次抬头。

This "Markets Weekly" update, recorded on July 4th, covers recent market developments, focusing on the UK's fiscal challenges, the US economic landscape, and the escalating trade war. The speaker begins by mentioning the S&P 500 reaching all-time highs, attributing a portion of this surge to corporate buybacks driven by economic uncertainty. The first topic addressed is the UK's economic situation. Drawing a parallel to the market turmoil triggered by former Prime Minister Liz Truss's spending plans, the speaker highlights recent market reactions to concerns about UK fiscal policy. Specifically, speculation around potential benefit cuts proposed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the possibility of her removal caused UK yields to surge, the pound to depreciate, and equities to sell off. While the situation has calmed down, the speaker questions why the UK is being singled out given that many countries face similar fiscal challenges. He then analyzes the UK's economic metrics, noting a debt-to-GDP ratio of around 100%, a relatively high fiscal deficit, and efforts to control the deficit through increased taxes. However, he cautions that higher taxes can hinder growth, pointing to a significant exodus of wealthy individuals from the UK. While overall GDP growth has occurred, per capita GDP has stagnated for a decade, largely due to immigration. The speaker concludes that the UK faces a challenging situation with limited growth, rising taxes, and a precarious fiscal position, but notes that this is not unique among Western nations. He speculates that markets might eventually become more sensitive to similar situations in countries like France and potentially the United States, which has so far primarily manifested in dollar depreciation. Turning to the US, the speaker discusses two key developments: the passage of the President's "big, beautiful bill" (BBB) and the non-farm payrolls report. He expresses disappointment that the BBB, despite initial expectations of fiscal responsibility, is projected to result in a fiscal deficit of around 6-7% for the foreseeable future. While acknowledging that the BBB largely renews previous tax cuts and that increased Terrafra revenue provides some offset, the speaker argues that the main impact is the failure to achieve expected fiscal restraint. He criticizes the use of sunset clauses in fiscal bills to underestimate their long-term cost. The ultimate driver of fiscal policy, he contends, is the political willingness of Congress to address spending. The speaker suggests that until there is a significant market reaction, such as a currency crisis or stock market decline, there will be little incentive for politicians to change course. Regarding the non-farm payrolls report, the speaker notes that many, including himself, expected a weak print due to rising continuing jobless claims and a negative ADP report. However, the official report showed a surprisingly large increase in job creation and a drop in the unemployment rate. This positive surprise led to the market pricing out rate cuts and boosted equity markets. Despite the positive headline, the speaker emphasizes some underlying ambiguities. The unemployment rate decrease was partially driven by a decline in the labor participation rate, wage growth has moderated, and the majority of new jobs were in the public sector, while private sector job creation continues to decline. He concludes that the labor market trend still suggests moderation or weakening. Finally, the speaker addresses the trade war. He notes a recent "Liberation Day" with the imposition of minimum tariffs, followed by President Trump suggesting this wasn't a "hard day" and implying potential for negotiation. However, he notes with the big bill behind him and markets at record highs, Trump might have more room to be disruptive. He refers to Trump's announcement of sending tariff letters to various countries, starting July 4th, with potential tariffs ranging from 10% to 70%. He notes there was a trade deal with Vietnam, however the tariffs were still 20%, higher than the minimum, but lower than before. He highlights the administration's efforts to crack down on trans-shipping from China. He concludes by noting stalled trade deals with close allies like Japan, Korea, and the EU, suggesting a potential impasse in negotiations. The speaker questions whether Trump has political capital to play with regarding the trade war and suggests that a resurgence in trade concerns is possible.
