这期“市场周报”重点介绍了过去一周的主要经济和政治发展,强调了它们对市场和美联储政策的潜在影响。主讲人首先承认了“内容丰富”的一周,包括GDP数据、美股七巨头(Mag 7)财报以及特朗普总统的声明。
核心信息围绕着周五令人失望的非农就业数据。虽然预期的就业增长约为10万,但实际数字仅为7万,引发了一些失望。然而,真正的冲击来自对前几个月数据的重大修正。这些修正描绘了一幅过去几个月就业增长大幅放缓的图景,有效地抹去了之前人们认为强劲的劳动力市场。主讲人将此与今年早些时候观察到的GDP增长放缓联系起来,表明整体经济放缓具有一致性。市场反应消极,股票遭到抛售,债券市场上涨,尤其是前端债券,这意味着对即将到来的降息更有信心。美元也大幅走弱。
主讲人引用了帕克·罗斯(Parker Ross)的研究,表明相对较低的失业率(4.2%)部分是由于劳动力参与率下降造成的。如果劳动力参与率保持在4月份的水平,失业率将接近4.9%,这是一个更令人担忧的水平。这种疲软的劳动力市场数据增加了经济衰退的可能性,可能会导致美联储“行动迟缓”。主讲人提到了美联储理事鲍曼和沃勒的不同意见,他们认为基于劳动力市场疲软的预期,应该更早降息。这与美联储主席鲍威尔之前的立场形成对比,他强调稳固的劳动力市场和略高于目标的通胀率是维持当前政策的原因。主讲人认为,新的数据为美联储内部的“鸽派”提供了更多弹药,并增加了9月份降息的可能性,特别是如果下一次的劳动力市场报告同样疲软。
转向政治发展,主讲人注意到美联储理事克鲁格的突然辞职。这加速了特朗普总统任命新的美联储理事的时间表。这可能导致一个更加鸽派的美联储,因为任命的人可能会与特朗普的观点保持一致,甚至在鲍威尔的任期届满之前就可能影响货币政策决策。还有一种可能性是特朗普会提名一位被认为过度政治化的人物,这可能是一个不明智之举。
主讲人接着提到特朗普总统对劳动力市场统计数据的不满,以及他据报道希望解雇劳工统计局(BLS)局长(拜登任命的官员)。虽然承认这一行为看起来令人担忧,但主讲人强调了美国政府治理方式的转变,这种行为可能会变得更加频繁。主讲人还承认自己对劳工统计局局长缺乏了解,因此没有对特朗普理由的有效性做出明确的结论。
最后,主讲人认为市场低估了与俄罗斯相关的地缘政治风险。通过强调特朗普总统与欧盟最近达成的一项贸易协议,主讲人暗示,这项看似片面的协议可能与美国在乌克兰冲突中的参与有关。主讲人指出,特朗普对俄罗斯的措辞越来越强硬,包括缩短了结束战争的期限。如果俄罗斯不遵守,特朗普已誓言实施二级制裁,针对购买俄罗斯石油的国家(主要是印度和中国)。这可能会对全球石油市场、贸易和地缘政治产生重大影响。
总而言之,这期每周更新描绘了一个不断变化的经济格局,其特点是劳动力市场数据疲软、经济衰退风险上升、美联储政策可能发生变化以及地缘政治紧张局势加剧。主讲人敦促观众密切关注这些发展,特别是美国对俄罗斯采取行动的潜在影响。
This "Markets Weekly" update highlights key economic and political developments from the past week, emphasizing their potential impact on markets and Fed policy. The speaker begins by acknowledging an "action-packed" week featuring GDP figures, Mag 7 earnings, and pronouncements from President Trump.
The core message revolves around the disappointing non-farm payrolls print on Friday. While the expected job creation was around 100,000, the actual number came in at 70,000, causing some disappointment. However, the real impact came from significant revisions to previous months' data. These revisions painted a picture of drastically reduced job growth over the past few months, effectively erasing the perceived strength of the labor market. The speaker connects this to the slower GDP growth figures observed earlier in the year, suggesting consistency in the overall economic slowdown. The market reacted negatively, with stocks selling off and the bond market rallying, particularly the front end, implying increased confidence in imminent rate cuts. The dollar also weakened significantly.
The speaker cites the work of Parker Ross, suggesting that the relatively low unemployment rate (4.2%) is partly due to declining labor force participation. If participation had remained at April levels, the unemployment rate would be closer to 4.9%, a level that warrants more concern. This weak labor market data raises the prospect of a recession, potentially catching the Fed "late to the party." The speaker points to dissenting opinions from Fed Governors Bowman and Waller, who argued for earlier rate cuts based on a perceived weakening labor market. This contrasts with Fed Chair Powell's prior stance, which emphasized a solid labor market and inflation slightly above target as reasons for maintaining the current policy. The speaker suggests that the new data gives the "dovish" faction within the Fed more ammunition and increases the likelihood of a rate cut in September, especially if the next labor market report is equally weak.
Turning to political developments, the speaker notes the sudden resignation of Fed Governor Krueger. This accelerates the timeline for President Trump to appoint a new Fed board member. This could lead to a more dovish Fed as the appointment could be someone who is aligned with Trump's views, potentially influencing monetary policy decisions even before Powell's term expires. There is also the possibility that Trump will nominate someone seen as overly politicized, which may be a move that is unproductive.
The speaker then mentions President Trump's dissatisfaction with the labor market statistics and his reported desire to fire the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a Biden appointee. While acknowledging that this action appears concerning, the speaker highlights the changing nature of US governance, where such actions may become more frequent. The speaker also admits a lack of personal knowledge about the BLS commissioner, refraining from drawing definitive conclusions about the validity of Trump's rationale.
Finally, the speaker argues that the market is underappreciating the geopolitical risks associated with Russia. Highlighting a recent trade deal between President Trump and the European Union, the speaker suggests that the seemingly one-sided agreement might be linked to US involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. The speaker notes Trump's increasingly assertive rhetoric towards Russia, including shortened deadlines for ending the war. If Russia does not comply, Trump has vowed to impose secondary sanctions, targeting countries that buy Russian oil (primarily India and China). This could have significant ramifications for the global oil market, trade, and geopolitics.
In summary, this weekly update portrays a shifting economic landscape characterized by weakening labor market data, rising recession risks, potential changes in Fed policy, and escalating geopolitical tensions. The speaker urges viewers to pay close attention to these developments, particularly the potential impact of US actions against Russia.
