Foreign media headlines | Oil prices led the decline, commodities plummeted! Recession fears trigger knock-on effects
由于各国央行的紧缩货币政策和对经济衰退的担忧,大宗商品市场继续上周的行情,呈现下降趋势。 每盎司黄金价格为1784美元,创2022年1月以来的最低水平,连续第三周下跌。 当地时间5日,英国卫生大臣赛义德·贾维德和财政大臣里希·苏纳克因对首相约翰逊失去信心而从政府辞职。 贾维德在社交媒体表示,自己已向首相约翰逊递交辞呈。

CCTV reports, on the 8th local time, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot when he delivered a speech in Nara that morning. It is reported that Shinzo Abe was still conscious when he got on the ambulance. At present, Shinzo Abe has no vital signs.</p><p>The yen exchange rate was also affected. As of 11:30 on July 8, the decline of the US dollar against the yen expanded to 0.47% to 135.37, and the yen appreciated.</p><p>Why did the yen suddenly appreciate after Abe's assassination? Perhaps it has something to do with the \"Abenomics\" promoted during his term of office. After Shinzo Abe took office at the end of 2012, he accelerated the implementation of a series of economic stimulus policies, the most notable of which was the loose monetary policy, and the yen exchange rate began to depreciate at an accelerated pace.</p><p>Since the beginning of this year, the yen exchange rate has continued to fall more obviously. On June 13th, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar once fell below the 135 yen to 1 US dollar mark, setting a new low in about 24 years. In more than a year since the beginning of 2021, the yen has depreciated significantly by more than 25% relative to the US dollar.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73ac608c7438fa9083c60e6af1c6dfd9\" tg-width=\"553\" tg-height=\"330\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>As a traditional safe-haven currency, it continued to plummet, causing Japanese bonds and yen assets to begin to be sold off sharply.</p><p>While Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda reiterated his view that the Bank of Japan must maintain its massive stimulus plan to shore up the fragile economic recovery.</p><p>But for ordinary Japanese, it is still debatable whether the fragile economic recovery needs to be supported by the sharp depreciation of the yen. After all, as a big importer, Japan's energy dependence on foreign countries is as high as 88%, and its food self-sufficiency rate is only 37%. The rise in commodity prices brought about by the depreciation of the yen will directly affect citizens' lives.</p><p>Especially after so many years of substantial easing, since the Japanese economy collapsed in 1990, Japan's average annual GDP growth rate has been less than 1%.</p><p>The real estate has been widened, the price has been widened, but the disposable income of residents has not been widened, and people somewhat lack confidence. After experiencing the \"lost decade\", \"lost twenty years\" and \"lost thirty years\", Japan's lost eyes are going to the time dimension of Atlantis.</p><p>In the fourth decade, will Japan be able to make a comeback?</p><p><b>Abe and his \"Abenomics\"</b></p><p>Although Shinzo Abe resigned as prime minister in August 2020, the sharp depreciation of the yen is closely related to his \"Abenomics\".</p><p>At the end of 2012, Shinzo Abe once again served as the Prime Minister of Japan, and immediately threw out the route of \"fighting for the economy\", which was heated as \"Abenomics\" by the media.</p><p>The so-called \"Abenomics\" is a policy combination to solve Japan's economic problems through experimental monetary policy (QQE for short), proactive fiscal policy and economic structural reform. Including \"three major strategies\":</p><p>First, it proposed the largest quantitative easing (QE) monetary policy in Japanese history, and the central bank purchased 7.5 trillion yen of Treasury Bond every month;</p><p>Second, break through the expansionary fiscal policy of the previous government with a total budget of 70 trillion yen;</p><p>Third, a package of growth strategies including the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP), deregulation to arouse private investment and promote innovation.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79ef0cf1ad82f6f4d2dbd2d9e5cde013\" tg-width=\"553\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Abenomics is the latest effort to solve Japan's economic downturn since 1990s. So how effective is the implementation?</p><p>An analysis article of global macro speculation pointed out that Abenomics is a great economic experiment. Japanese financiers and politicians broke stereotypes and used a three-pronged approach of structural adjustment, fiscal and monetary policies to increase Japan's potential economic growth rate and overcome deflation. The first three years of the experiment were quite successful.</p><p>At the same time, the article also pointed out that \"Abenomics\" was bleak from 2016 to 2020. Under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, some Abenomics goals have been achieved, especially inflation expectations, yen exchange rate, real interest rates and stock prices. However, the potential output growth in the same period is not good, which proves that structural reform is not being promoted effectively.</p><p>Zhang Jifeng, deputy director of the Japanese Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that Abe's achievements in economic governance are obvious to all, but there are also serious problems. One of the most serious problems is the difficult financial situation, which has never changed.</p><p>Liu Yun, an associate researcher at the Northeast Asia Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, believes that if we only look at Japan's GDP, there will be a misunderstanding that Abenomics is not very successful. But on the whole, the Japanese economy is an upward attitude. For example, wages in Japan have increased and profits of large enterprises have grown well, so the Japanese economic situation has improved.</p><p><b>\"Lost\" began in 1990</b></p><p>The original intention of \"Abenomics\" is to save Japan's persistently sluggish economy. The \"lost decade\" was first put forward when the Japanese stock market bubble burst in 1990.</p><p>More than ten years before the bursting of the bubble that devastated Japan, Japan was once a \"miracle-making country\".</p><p>From the early labor-intensive enterprises such as cotton textile, they began to accumulate capital, and then took manufacturing as the core industry, actively expanded investment, introduced foreign advanced technology, and quickly rebuilt the domestic industrial system from the ruins after the war.</p><p>By 1964, the Tokyo Olympic Games became an important symbol of Japan's economic development and transformation. Due to the demand for steel for large-scale infrastructure construction and the demand for color TVs at the opening of the Olympic Games, Japan's steel and electromechanical industries flourished, and Japan experienced a complete \"The development stage from exchanging shirts for planes\" to \"Made in Japan\".</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d0a4f35b86afc5382004806076b2487\" tg-width=\"528\" tg-height=\"323\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>In 1965, Japan's steel exports to the United States accounted for half of the total imports of the United States. In 1968, Japan became the world's second largest economy after the United States.</p><p>At the same time, Japan has firmly grasped the new generation of industrial revolution. Automobiles, steel, telecommunications, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals have comprehensively dominated the US market, and Hitachi, NEC, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Toshiba have joined forces.</p><p>In the consecutive trade deficits of the United States with Japan that year, the industrial giants suffered losses year after year, and Intel was even on the verge of bankruptcy.</p><p>Under the dilemma of being beaten by Japanese goods, the United States launched a trade war that Chinese people now look familiar-</p><p>Since 1981, Japanese cars sold all over the world have been heavily taxed by the United States, and their export quotas have been restricted.</p><p>At the same time, the United States imposed 100% tariffs on Japanese high-tech products such as computers and televisions on the grounds of \"dumping behavior\" by Japan. Japanese semiconductors were set a lower export price limit, and Japanese chips were subject to 100% punitive tariffs.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2325f7d267568d30d4ad4c0f6022d74e\" tg-width=\"528\" tg-height=\"326\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>U.S. lawmakers smash Japanese products live</p><p>In addition, the executives of Japanese enterprises were arrested in the name of \"industrial espionage\". Japan was accused by the United States of being a \"currency manipulator\" and stealing intellectual property rights from the United States, and was asked to increase the import of American agricultural products, cancel the trade terms unfavorable to foreign companies, let Japan impose voluntary export restrictions in textiles, steel, television and machine tools, and at the same time carry out factory transfer and industrial upgrading...</p><p>While constantly accusing Japan of supporting industrial policies through the state, the United States introduced a new trade law in 1988, activating the \"Super 301\" clause-openly legislating to interfere with Japan's industrial and trade policies, forcing Japan to carry out institutional reforms.</p><p>In 1989, Japan and the United States began negotiations on the \"Japan-US Structural Agreement\", and negotiated on economic policies, systems and corporate behaviors, which prompted Japan to carry out open reforms in circulation system and business practices: for example, taking housing as a strategic industry and further opening up the circulation system; Further open up the domestic market and reorganize the import and export system in accordance with the principle of free trade.</p><p>By 1989, the U.S. Trade Representative had initiated a total of 24 Section 301 investigations against Japan, almost all of which were made concessions by the Japanese government.</p><p>At the same time, due to the \"Plaza Accord\" reached by the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom in 1985, the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar was forced to appreciate sharply. After \"Black Monday\" in October 1987, the yen appreciated to 120 yen/dollar, with an increase of 90% in 1988.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12ab4dd9acfe04f8aab569cb046a73ff\" tg-width=\"528\" tg-height=\"337\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Plaza agreement signing site</p><p>The sharp appreciation of the yen has dealt a devastating blow to Japan, which is mainly an export-oriented economy. Production costs have risen sharply, and high-quality enterprises have begun to flee overseas. In order to cope with the exchange rate crisis, the Japanese government has begun to cut interest rates sharply, hoping to \"send money\" so that enterprises can invest and set up factories at low cost.</p><p>But in fact, due to the long industrial return cycle, a large amount of yen lent at low interest rate has not been invested in the real economy, and the abundant liquidity of the money market has begun to flow into the housing market, stock market and luxury goods market with the \"strength\" of the yen's sharp appreciation after the Plaza Accord.</p><p>Since 1986, Japan's rapidly expanding economic prosperity has been called the \"Heisei Boom\". At the end of 1985, the Nikkei 225 stock price index closed at 13,083 points and at the end of 1989, it closed at 38,916 points. In four years, the Nikkei 225 index rose by 197.45%, and the total market value of stocks continued to expand to 896 trillion yen, accounting for 60% of Japan's gross national product that year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f5d38582a2e3123322a61e5b005f13f\" tg-width=\"528\" tg-height=\"312\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Japanese streets in the 1980s</p><p>The land price in Tokyo is soaring, and the land price of the Tokyo Imperial Palace of the Japanese Emperor exceeds the land valuation of the whole France; A 10,000 yen note in the Ginza area is thrown on the ground, and you can't buy the small piece of land it covers.</p><p>At the same time, the Japanese have become the world's largest consumers of luxury goods. They have swept watch shops, jewelry stores and wine houses all over the world. Foreign banks and securities companies have counted their money in the Japanese market.</p><p>After a large number of short-selling options on stock indexes that completely deviate from economic reality, the bubble broke out when it expanded to the extreme.</p><p>In October 1990, Japan's five-year bull market ended, and the stock market plummeted by 63.24%, creating the largest decline in the history of the Japanese stock market. The following year, the property market plummeted by 65%, bankrupt enterprises emerged in an endless stream, the number of unemployed people surged, and the wealth of the whole country shrank by nearly 50%.</p><p>At the same time, the short-term sharp recession has caused countless ordinary people who have no time to get out to be \"stuck\" by various capital investment targets, and a major economic reshuffle has allowed the wealth of the whole society to be transferred to the hands of a few winners.</p><p>Since then, the Japanese economy has been in a downturn for a long time.</p><p>The Nikkei Average Index went from a historical high of 38,957 on December 29, 1989 to a low of 6,994.9 on October 29, 2008, with a cumulative decline of more than 82%. In the next four years, the Nikkei Average Index still hovered around 10,000 points.</p><p>That is to say, since the late 1990s, the \"lost decade\" of Japanese economy has been reported in newspapers, and the problem has not been solved so far.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ced67142e550e77f5f84c394cba59c8d\" tg-width=\"528\" tg-height=\"383\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>What exactly has Japan lost in 30 years?</b></p><p>In 2010, as the Japanese economy still did not improve, the media began to put forward the \"lost twenty years\" of the Japanese economy.</p><p>In fact, \"twenty years\" is still not the end of Japan's economic downturn.

。据悉,安倍晋三在上救护车时还有意识,目前安倍晋三已经没有生命体征。日元汇率也受到了影响,截至7月8日11:30,美元兑日元跌幅扩大至0.47%,报135.37,日元有所升值。安倍遇刺,日元为何会突然升值?或许与其任期内力主推动的“安倍经济学”有关。安倍晋三2012年底上台后加速实施的一系列刺激经济政策,最值得注目的就是宽松货币政策,日元汇率开始加速贬值。今年以来,日元汇率持续下跌态势更加明显。6月13日,日元兑美元汇率一度跌破135日元兑换1美元关口,创下约24年的新低。而从2021年初至今的一年多时间内,日元相对美元已经大幅贬值超过25%。作为传统避险货币持续大跌,让日债和日元资产开始被大幅抛售。虽然日本央行行长黑田东彦重申了他的观点,即日本央行必须维持其大规模刺激计划,以支撑脆弱的经济复苏。但对于普通日本人,脆弱的经济复苏是否需要用日元的大幅贬值来支撑还是值得商榷,毕竟日本作为一个进口大国,能源对外依存度高达88%,粮食自给率仅有37%。日元贬值带来的大宗商品价格抬升,将直接影响市民的生活。尤其是大幅宽松了这么多年,可从1990年日本经济崩溃以来,日本平均年GDP增长率不足1%。宽高了房产、宽起了物价,独独没有宽起来居民的可支配收入,人们多少缺乏点信心。在已经经历了“失落的十年”、\"失落的二十年\"、“失落的三十年”之后,日本的失落眼看着要奔向亚特兰蒂斯的那个时间维度去了。第四个十年,日本又是否能绝地翻盘呢?安倍和他的“安倍经济学”虽然安倍晋三在2020年8月就已经辞任首相,但日元如今的大幅贬值却和他的“安倍经济学”联系紧密。2012年底,安倍晋三再次担任日本首相,随即抛出“拼经济”路线,被媒体热炒为“安倍经济学”。所谓“安倍经济学”,是通过实验性质的货币政策(简称QQE)、积极财政政策和经济结构改革来解决日本经济问题的政策组合。包括“三大策略”:其一,提出日本史上最大规模的量化宽松(QE)货币政策,央行每月购买国债7.5万亿日元;其二,突破前任政府预算总额70万亿日元的扩张性财政政策;其三,囊括《跨太平洋战略经济伙伴协定》(TPP)、放松管制以唤起民间投资和促进创新等在内的一揽子增长战略。安倍经济学是为了解决1990年代以后日本经济不断低迷而做出的最新努力。那么实施效果如何呢?全球宏观投机的一篇分析文章指出,安倍经济学是一个伟大的经济实验,日本金融家和政治家打破成见,用结构调整、财政和货币政策三管齐下的方法提升日本潜在经济增长率,克服通货紧缩。实验的前三年,获得了相当成功。文章同时也指出,“安倍经济学”2016到2020年则表现暗淡。新冠疫情冲击下部分安倍经济学的目标得以实现,尤其是通胀预期、日元汇率、真实利率和股票价格等,但是同期的潜在产出成长并不佳,证明了结构改革推进不力。中国社会科学院日本研究所副所长张季风认为,安倍在经济治理上的成绩大家有目共睹,但是也有较为严重的问题。其中最严重的问题就是财政状况困难,这个局面始终没有得到改变。中国现代国际关系研究院东北亚研究所副研究员刘云认为,若仅从日本GDP来看,会有所误解,认为安倍经济学不太成功。但如果从整体上看,日本经济是一个向上的姿态,例如日本的工资有增加、大企业利润增速不错,所以日本经济形势是有所好转的。“失落”始于1990“安倍经济学”的初衷是为了挽救日本持续低迷的经济。而“失落的十年”最早被提出,则是1990年日本股市泡沫破灭。在这场让日本一蹶不振的泡沫大破灭之前的十数年,日本曾是“缔造奇迹的国家”。从早期的棉纺织等劳动密集型企业开始积累资本,再到后来以制造业为核心产业,积极扩大投资、引进国外先进技术,从战后的废墟里迅速重建起本国的工业体系。到1964年,东京奥运会更是成为衔接日本经济发展转型的重要标志,由于大规模基建对钢铁的需求以及奥运会开幕对彩电的需求,日本的钢铁、机电行业蓬勃发展,日本经历了一个完整的“用衬衫换飞机”到“日本制造”的发展阶段。1965年,日本输出美国的钢铁占到了美国进口总量一半,1968年,日本成为了仅次美国的世界第二大经济体。与此同时,日本牢牢抓住了新一代的产业革命,汽车、钢铁、电信、半导体、制药全面制霸美国市场,日立、NEC、富士通、三菱和东芝群雄并起。而美国在当年对日的连年贸易赤字中,产业巨头们一片连年亏损,英特尔甚至一度濒临倒闭。在被日货打得找不着北的窘境之下,美国不顾脸面地发起了一场国人如今看起来很眼熟的贸易战——从1981年开始,行销全球的日系汽车开始被美国课以重税,并且在出口额度上被加以限制。同时,美国以日方“存在倾销行为”为由对日本的电脑、电视等高科技产品征收100%的关税,日本的半导体被设置出口价格下限、日本的芯片被征收100%惩罚性关税。美国议员直播砸碎日本产品此外,日系企业的高管被以“产业间谍罪”为名拘捕,日本被美国指责为“汇率操纵国”、从美国窃取知识产权,并被要求加大对美国农产品的进口力度、取消对外企不利的贸易条款、让日本在纺织品、钢铁、电视和机床等行业都实行自愿出口限制,同时进行工厂转移和产业升级……在不断指责日本通过国家扶持产业政策的同时,美国却在1988年出台新的贸易法,启用“超级301”条款——公然立法干预日本的产业与贸易政策,迫使日本进行制度性改革。1989年日美开始“日美结构协议”谈判,就经济政策、制度及企业行为等进行磋商,促使日本在流通体制、商业惯例等方面进行开放性改革:例如把住房作为战略性产业,进一步开放流通体制;进一步开放国内市场,按照自由贸易的原则重组进出口体制。截至1989年,美国贸易代表总计向日本发起了24例301条款案件调查,几乎全部由日本政府做出了让步。同时,由于1985年美国、日本、联邦德国、法国和英国达成的“广场协议”,日元兑美元汇率被迫大幅升值。1987年10月的“黑色星期一”之后,日元升值到120日元/美元,1988年度升幅高达90%。广场协议签订现场大幅升值的日元对以出口型经济为主的日本造成了毁灭性的打击,生产成本急剧上涨、优质企业开始逃向海外,为了应对汇率危机,日本政府开始大幅降息,寄希望于“发钱”让企业可以低成本去投资办厂。可实际上,由于实业回报周期过长,低利率贷出大量的日元并没有被投入到到实体经济,货币市场的充裕流动性,随着日元在广场协议后大幅升值的“强势”开始大量流入房市、股市以及奢侈品市场。1986

1989年末收于38916点,四年间日经225指数累计上涨197.45%,并且股票总市值继续膨胀至896万亿日元,占日本当年国民生产总值的60%。80年代的日本街头东京的地价则是坐地飞升,日本天皇的东京皇居土地价格就超过了整个法国的土地估价;银座地区一张1万日元的纸币扔在地上,也买不到它所覆盖的那一小片土地。同时,日本人成了全球最大的奢侈品消费国,他们横扫全球的手表店、珠宝店以及红酒酒庄,外资银行与证券公司在日本市场数钱数到手软。与经济现实完全背离的大批股指沽空期权之后,是泡沫膨胀到极致时爆发。1990年10月,日本长达5年的牛市结束,股市暴跌63.24%,创造了日本股市历史上最大的下跌幅度。次年,楼市暴跌65%,破产企业层出不穷,失业人群人数激增,整个国家财富缩水了近50%。同时,短期的大幅衰退让无数来不及抽身的普通人被各项资本投资标的物“套牢”,一场经济大洗牌让全社会的财富被转移至少数赢家手中。此后,日本经济开始长期处于低迷状态。日经平均指数由1989年12月29日历史高位38957,到2008年10月29日最低6994.9,累积跌幅逾82%,其后4年日经平均指数仍然始终徘徊在10,000点左右。也就是从90年代末开始,日本经济“失去的十年””开始不断见诸报端,并至今难题未解。三十年里,日本具体失去了什么?2010年,由于日本经济仍无起色,媒体开始提出日本经济“失去的二十年”。实际上,“二十年”依旧不是日本经济颓靡的终点。自38957的日经225指数历史最高收盘点位开始算起,此后一路下行,期间多次跌至1万点一下,直至2017年才止跌。2022年7月7日收盘,日经225指数收盘报26490.53点,距其最高点仍有一万多点的差距。那个让日元急剧升值的“广场协议”,被许多人认为是日本泡沫经济引发大萧条的根源。但对于这次大萧条的分析中,对于广场协议的批判并不是一致的。原日本大藏省副相行天丰雄甚至亲自出面驳斥过这一观点。因为在1985年~1990年,借强势日元下的海外投资,日本海外净资产从1万多亿美元上升到3万多亿美元,也就是所谓的“日本之外,还有一个日本”——日元10年升值300%的同时,是生产成本与人力成本的巨幅抬升。为了保持自己的竞争力,大量日企不得不将目光投向海外,这使得日企资本急速外流。升值迅速的日元与日渐焦灼的日美贸易战也助推了这一外流——强势的日元方便日企投资收购海外企业,同时在外建厂可以绕开美国对“日本制造”的制裁。从1985年到1990年,日本企业总共进行了21起500亿日元以上的巨型海外并购案。1989年,三菱公司14亿美元买下的洛克菲勒中心、松下60亿美元买下的美国环球影业、索尼公司以34亿美元买下哥伦比亚影片公司——其中包括漫威如今都没能收回的蜘蛛侠版权;日本人甚至雄心壮志地要将美国买成“日本的第四十一个县”,为什么从洛杉矶洲际酒店70楼看去的城市那么像东京?因为当年日本人买下了这里一半的地产。日本学者伊藤感在《横跨太平洋的愤怒》中写到,一些日本人相信日本会成为下一个\"超级大国\",政府会带领民众\"终结美国的时代\"。只是这些地产,属于巨企、属于财团、属于投机者、属于外籍富商,但独独不属于日本的人民。2020年《产经新闻》报道,日本海外当地法人的营收在近20年内增长了220%,而按照OECD的统计数据,日本2020年的人均购买力水平仅为3.9万美元,比1990年仅增长了4%。1、三十年不动的收入1900年以后,日本的投资活动戛然而止。银行破产、工厂倒闭、房贷成灾,充斥着不良资产的银行不得不合并重组;剧烈抬升的生产成本让企业大批倒闭,最惨的还是普通人——在倒闭潮中被裁员、一辈子的积蓄在泡沫危机中挥发、还要背上沉重的房贷。而在终身雇佣制和年功序列崩解后,为了保住工作而拼命加班,“社畜”文化虽然不诞生于日本的泡沫危机,但却在这之后得到了固化——接受竞争和生产效率至上的齿轮对自己的压榨,成了日本打工人最无奈的选择。但社会发展的洪流推进着日本人前进,却没能给他们应有的回报。2021年2月,日本厚生劳动省发布的“勤劳统计调查”显示,日本2020年的人均月薪为31万8299日元,约合1.96万元人民币,同比减少1.2%,创下12年以来最大降幅。而这一数字在1990年时是35万元左右,当时的日本人平均年收入是425万日元,以当时的汇率计算,月薪约合1.16万人民币。连续30年“原地踏步”的平均年收入,成了日本最猛烈的“避孕药”。2、难以逆转的老龄化2020年,日本总人口居世界11位,是1950年以来首次跌出前十。从1974到2020年,日本出生率由1.86%降至0.67%,在2008年左右开始陷入连续13年的人口负增长。同时,日本65岁及以上老年人口达3640万,在总人口中所占比例达29.1%。少子老龄化,导致日本陷入严重的劳动力供给不足、劳动生产率增速趋缓,进而使经济增速持续放缓:“1961-2020年日本劳动年龄人口增速、劳动生产率增速与经济走势基本同步变化。伴随1961-1975年日本劳动年龄人口平均增速维持在1.6%的高位、劳动生产率增速达到8.4%峰值,实际GDP平均增速也维持在7.7%的高位;1976-1988年劳动年龄人口、劳动生产率分别维持0.9%、3.7%的低速增长,实际GDP增速也降至4.4%;1989-2020年劳动年龄人口、劳动生产率增速分别从0.9%、4.4%大幅降至-0.8%、1.1%,实际GDP增速从5.4%降至-4.4%。”在劳动人口下降,税收不断减少的情况下,需要支出的养老金等费用却在急速扩大,自1990年起,依附养老金生活的人数已经是纳税人的5倍。2004年日本启动了养老金改革,每年以0.354%的涨幅提高税收,到2017年纳税人缴纳的养老金已占到个人年收入的18.3%,成了日本民众沉重的负担。日本人类发展指数的排名(测量人均GDP,教育,以及医疗),则从1990年的世界第一掉落至2020年的世界第十九。同时,日本年轻人因预期收入下降而形成的生活态度消极、物质欲望低下、缺乏奋斗动力的风气,由此产生“蛰居族”。根据日本厚生劳动省定义,蛰居族为持续6个月以上待在家里不出门,几乎和外界断绝联系的人群,根据日本内阁府《生活状况相关调查》数据,15-39岁、40-64岁人口蛰居族分别达54.1、61.3万人。老年人的消费和购房需求远低于年轻人,年轻人又严重缺乏消费欲望,使得总消费难以大幅提升,日本陷入“低欲望社会”。3、终身QE,却始终乏力2021年,日本以49374亿美元的GDP总量跌下“5字头”,但依旧是傲视欧洲,名列世界第三大经济体的经济大国,看起来似乎并不差。但实际上,日本1995年GDP就已经达到了5.55万亿美元,当时日本GDP与美国GDP的比率是71.34%,2021年,这个比率变成了21.46%。与过往的辉煌相比,如今的日本确实有些困窘。同时,日本的宏观杠杆率也在全球领先。国际清算银行(BIS)最新数据显示,2021 年二季度末,各国宏观杠杆率中美国为286.2%、欧元区为284.3%,而日本为416.5%。庞大的债务规模来源于日本数十年的量化宽松。量化宽松,是日本在融领域的一个创新。1998年,日本央行本央行第一次开始实行零利率和量化宽松政策,即通过对通货供应量的控制来调节经济活动。2013年,日本央行行长黑田东彦推出提振通胀的货币政策刺激计划。从2013年开始,日元兑美元持续贬值,出口实现了较大幅度增长;同时日本基准利率一路下行,十年期国债利率在2016年甚至下降至负数。同时日本央行开始大规模购入ETF(交易所交易基金),年均ETF购买规模接近4万亿日元,到2021年,日本央行持有股票占股票ETF的80%以上,占东京证券交易所总市值的5%以上。虽然日经225指数从2012年的八千点附近,一路走强,在2021年2月甚至突破了三万点大关,但这似乎仍然是一场镜花水月的泡沫化繁荣,因为日本央行注入的巨量基础货币既没有拉高通胀率,也没有拉动经济增长。经济结构上,日本除核心基础原材料依然保持壁垒优势,其他产业几乎都在裹足不前。汽车、造船、机床、电子产业的市场都在被美、中、韩等国瓜分,新兴产业上更是少有建树。目前日本独角兽企业数量仅6家,大幅落后于美、中、印、英、德、的554、180、64、43、26家,且估值均小于20亿美元。同时,日本的债务急剧扩张,截至2021年12月底,由国债、借款及政府短期证券构成的日本国家债务达到1218.4万亿日元,日本国民人均负债约为971万日元,约合人民币53万4573元。但在美、英、欧等央行均已开始紧缩步伐的当下,日本央行却仍旧未改变宽松的货币政策。“逆市”宽松、无限量印钞、日元连跌日元的连跌始于3月份。在3月美联储加息落地,并释放后续将加大加息幅度和加快缩表的信号后,英、欧均开始加速收紧货币政策,但日本央行却反其道而行之,坚持维持量化宽松政策。3 月 28 日,日本央行发布新闻稿宣布,将在3月 29-31 日间,发动抑制利率上升的“连续性指定价格市场操作”措施,即以指定的利率,无限量从民间金融机构手中收购公债。当天,日元汇率重挫1.38%。4月20日,不到一个月的时间内日本央行又宣布无限量购买10年期国债,以捍卫10年期日本国债0.25%的收益率上限,再度推动了日元的贬值。有专家认为,由于日元贬值有利于日本以出口为导向的经济,日本央行一直将宽松的货币环境作为提振市场预期的重要手段,尤其是在刚刚进入新财年的当下,日本央行更难有可能收紧货币政策。但宽松能挽救日本经济吗?实际上,日本贸易结构并不稳定,自安倍政府上台推出无限刺激政策后,出口总额在2012~2015年连续下降,仅2016、2017年两年保持了贸易顺差状态。近期全球原油和原材料价格飙升,日元贬值更是抬高了日本企业的成本,拓宽了输入型通胀的渠道。同时,根据OECD发布的“附加值贸易统计”数据显示,日本国内创造的附加值已经从1995年的94%降至2018年的83%,降低了11%,日本相关高附加值产品和服务已经越来越难抵消其不断提升的生产成本。唯一得益的,是日本本土的投机者们,随着美联储大幅落地,美债收益率持续飙涨,美日国债利差已经越来越大,于是本土的投机者们开始大规模沽空日元,借日元买美债的套利。对于老百姓来说呢?物价提升导致生活成本上升、消费力削弱,“失落的三十年”似乎又要延期——被日本央行认定“有利于经济”的日元贬值,多年来从未有效提振过日本的经济增长,反而让日本经济十数年来无法从大规模金融缓和政策中脱出。三十年前,时任央行行长三重野康告诫政府:一个国家绝对不能靠吹经济泡沫生存,否则将是国家的大害。于是在他上台不久后日本就实行了紧缩性的货币政策,大幅度提高了贷款利率,主动刺破泡沫。这场硬着陆让日本陷入了数十年的萧条,却也常被后人视为“壮士断腕”的果决。只是前车已覆,后未知更。三十年过去,日本似乎还是那个日本。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9073694117,"gmtCreate":1657331975039,"gmtModify":1676535992757,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9073694117","repostId":"1172335974","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1172335974","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657272279,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1172335974?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-08

。据悉,安倍晋三在上救护车时还有意识,目前安倍晋三已经没有生命体征。日元汇率也受到了影响,截至7月8日11:30,美元兑日元跌幅扩大至0.47%,报135.37,日元有所升值。安倍遇刺,日元为何会突然升值?或许与其任期内力主推动的“安倍经济学”有关。安倍晋三2012年底上台后加速实施的一系列刺激经济政策,最值得注目的就是宽松货币政策,日元汇率开始加速贬值。今年以来,日元汇率持续下跌态势更加明显。6月13日,日元兑美元汇率一度跌破135日元兑换1美元关口,创下约24年的新低。而从2021年初至今的一年多时间内,日元相对美元已经大幅贬值超过25%。作为传统避险货币持续大跌,让日债和日元资产开始被大幅抛售。虽然日本央行行长黑田东彦重申了他的观点,即日本央行必须维持其大规模刺激计划,以支撑脆弱的经济复苏。但对于普通日本人,脆弱的经济复苏是否需要用日元的大幅贬值来支撑还是值得商榷,毕竟日本作为一个进口大国,能源对外依存度高达88%,粮食自给率仅有37%。日元贬值带来的大宗商品价格抬升,将直接影响市民的生活。尤其是大幅宽松了这么多年,可从1990年日本经济崩溃以来,日本平均年GDP增长率不足1%。宽高了房产、宽起了物价,独独没有宽起来居民的可支配收入,人们多少缺乏点信心。在已经经历了“失落的十年”、\"失落的二十年\"、“失落的三十年”之后,日本的失落眼看着要奔向亚特兰蒂斯的那个时间维度去了。第四个十年,日本又是否能绝地翻盘呢?安倍和他的“安倍经济学”虽然安倍晋三在2020年8月就已经辞任首相,但日元如今的大幅贬值却和他的“安倍经济学”联系紧密。2012年底,安倍晋三再次担任日本首相,随即抛出“拼经济”路线,被媒体热炒为“安倍经济学”。所谓“安倍经济学”,是通过实验性质的货币政策(简称QQE)、积极财政政策和经济结构改革来解决日本经济问题的政策组合。包括“三大策略”:其一,提出日本史上最大规模的量化宽松(QE)货币政策,央行每月购买国债7.5万亿日元;其二,突破前任政府预算总额70万亿日元的扩张性财政政策;其三,囊括《跨太平洋战略经济伙伴协定》(TPP)、放松管制以唤起民间投资和促进创新等在内的一揽子增长战略。安倍经济学是为了解决1990年代以后日本经济不断低迷而做出的最新努力。那么实施效果如何呢?全球宏观投机的一篇分析文章指出,安倍经济学是一个伟大的经济实验,日本金融家和政治家打破成见,用结构调整、财政和货币政策三管齐下的方法提升日本潜在经济增长率,克服通货紧缩。实验的前三年,获得了相当成功。文章同时也指出,“安倍经济学”2016到2020年则表现暗淡。新冠疫情冲击下部分安倍经济学的目标得以实现,尤其是通胀预期、日元汇率、真实利率和股票价格等,但是同期的潜在产出成长并不佳,证明了结构改革推进不力。中国社会科学院日本研究所副所长张季风认为,安倍在经济治理上的成绩大家有目共睹,但是也有较为严重的问题。其中最严重的问题就是财政状况困难,这个局面始终没有得到改变。中国现代国际关系研究院东北亚研究所副研究员刘云认为,若仅从日本GDP来看,会有所误解,认为安倍经济学不太成功。但如果从整体上看,日本经济是一个向上的姿态,例如日本的工资有增加、大企业利润增速不错,所以日本经济形势是有所好转的。“失落”始于1990“安倍经济学”的初衷是为了挽救日本持续低迷的经济。而“失落的十年”最早被提出,则是1990年日本股市泡沫破灭。在这场让日本一蹶不振的泡沫大破灭之前的十数年,日本曾是“缔造奇迹的国家”。从早期的棉纺织等劳动密集型企业开始积累资本,再到后来以制造业为核心产业,积极扩大投资、引进国外先进技术,从战后的废墟里迅速重建起本国的工业体系。到1964年,东京奥运会更是成为衔接日本经济发展转型的重要标志,由于大规模基建对钢铁的需求以及奥运会开幕对彩电的需求,日本的钢铁、机电行业蓬勃发展,日本经历了一个完整的“用衬衫换飞机”到“日本制造”的发展阶段。1965年,日本输出美国的钢铁占到了美国进口总量一半,1968年,日本成为了仅次美国的世界第二大经济体。与此同时,日本牢牢抓住了新一代的产业革命,汽车、钢铁、电信、半导体、制药全面制霸美国市场,日立、NEC、富士通、三菱和东芝群雄并起。而美国在当年对日的连年贸易赤字中,产业巨头们一片连年亏损,英特尔甚至一度濒临倒闭。在被日货打得找不着北的窘境之下,美国不顾脸面地发起了一场国人如今看起来很眼熟的贸易战——从1981年开始,行销全球的日系汽车开始被美国课以重税,并且在出口额度上被加以限制。同时,美国以日方“存在倾销行为”为由对日本的电脑、电视等高科技产品征收100%的关税,日本的半导体被设置出口价格下限、日本的芯片被征收100%惩罚性关税。美国议员直播砸碎日本产品此外,日系企业的高管被以“产业间谍罪”为名拘捕,日本被美国指责为“汇率操纵国”、从美国窃取知识产权,并被要求加大对美国农产品的进口力度、取消对外企不利的贸易条款、让日本在纺织品、钢铁、电视和机床等行业都实行自愿出口限制,同时进行工厂转移和产业升级……在不断指责日本通过国家扶持产业政策的同时,美国却在1988年出台新的贸易法,启用“超级301”条款——公然立法干预日本的产业与贸易政策,迫使日本进行制度性改革。1989年日美开始“日美结构协议”谈判,就经济政策、制度及企业行为等进行磋商,促使日本在流通体制、商业惯例等方面进行开放性改革:例如把住房作为战略性产业,进一步开放流通体制;进一步开放国内市场,按照自由贸易的原则重组进出口体制。截至1989年,美国贸易代表总计向日本发起了24例301条款案件调查,几乎全部由日本政府做出了让步。同时,由于1985年美国、日本、联邦德国、法国和英国达成的“广场协议”,日元兑美元汇率被迫大幅升值。1987年10月的“黑色星期一”之后,日元升值到120日元/美元,1988年度升幅高达90%。广场协议签订现场大幅升值的日元对以出口型经济为主的日本造成了毁灭性的打击,生产成本急剧上涨、优质企业开始逃向海外,为了应对汇率危机,日本政府开始大幅降息,寄希望于“发钱”让企业可以低成本去投资办厂。可实际上,由于实业回报周期过长,低利率贷出大量的日元并没有被投入到到实体经济,货币市场的充裕流动性,随着日元在广场协议后大幅升值的“强势”开始大量流入房市、股市以及奢侈品市场。1986 年开始,日本飞速膨胀的经济繁荣被称为“平成景气”,1985年末日经225股价指数收于13083点, 1989年末收于38916点,四年间日经225指数累计上涨197.45%,并且股票总市值继续膨胀至896万亿日元,占日本当年国民生产总值的60%。80年代的日本街头东京的地价则是坐地飞升,日本天皇的东京皇居土地价格就超过了整个法国的土地估价;银座地区一张1万日元的纸币扔在地上,也买不到它所覆盖的那一小片土地。同时,日本人成了全球最大的奢侈品消费国,他们横扫全球的手表店、珠宝店以及红酒酒庄,外资银行与证券公司在日本市场数钱数到手软。与经济现实完全背离的大批股指沽空期权之后,是泡沫膨胀到极致时爆发。1990年10月,日本长达5年的牛市结束,股市暴跌63.24%,创造了日本股市历史上最大的下跌幅度。次年,楼市暴跌65%,破产企业层出不穷,失业人群人数激增,整个国家财富缩水了近50%。同时,短期的大幅衰退让无数来不及抽身的普通人被各项资本投资标的物“套牢”,一场经济大洗牌让全社会的财富被转移至少数赢家手中。此后,日本经济开始长期处于低迷状态。日经平均指数由1989年12月29日历史高位38957,到2008年10月29日最低6994.9,累积跌幅逾82%,其后4年日经平均指数仍然始终徘徊在10,000点左右。也就是从90年代末开始,日本经济“失去的十年””开始不断见诸报端,并至今难题未解。三十年里,日本具体失去了什么?2010年,由于日本经济仍无起色,媒体开始提出日本经济“失去的二十年”。实际上,“二十年”依旧不是日本经济颓靡的终点。自38957的日经225指数历史最高收盘点位开始算起,此后一路下行,期间多次跌至1万点一下,直至2017年才止跌。2022年7月7日收盘,日经225指数收盘报26490.53点,距其最高点仍有一万多点的差距。那个让日元急剧升值的“广场协议”,被许多人认为是日本泡沫经济引发大萧条的根源。但对于这次大萧条的分析中,对于广场协议的批判并不是一致的。原日本大藏省副相行天丰雄甚至亲自出面驳斥过这一观点。因为在1985年~1990年,借强势日元下的海外投资,日本海外净资产从1万多亿美元上升到3万多亿美元,也就是所谓的“日本之外,还有一个日本”——日元10年升值300%的同时,是生产成本与人力成本的巨幅抬升。为了保持自己的竞争力,大量日企不得不将目光投向海外,这使得日企资本急速外流。升值迅速的日元与日渐焦灼的日美贸易战也助推了这一外流——强势的日元方便日企投资收购海外企业,同时在外建厂可以绕开美国对“日本制造”的制裁。从1985年到1990年,日本企业总共进行了21起500亿日元以上的巨型海外并购案。1989年,三菱公司14亿美元买下的洛克菲勒中心、松下60亿美元买下的美国环球影业、索尼公司以34亿美元买下哥伦比亚影片公司——其中包括漫威如今都没能收回的蜘蛛侠版权;日本人甚至雄心壮志地要将美国买成“日本的第四十一个县”,为什么从洛杉矶洲际酒店70楼看去的城市那么像东京?因为当年日本人买下了这里一半的地产。日本学者伊藤感在《横跨太平洋的愤怒》中写到,一些日本人相信日本会成为下一个\"超级大国\",政府会带领民众\"终结美国的时代\"。只是这些地产,属于巨企、属于财团、属于投机者、属于外籍富商,但独独不属于日本的人民。2020年《产经新闻》报道,日本海外当地法人的营收在近20年内增长了220%,而按照OECD的统计数据,日本2020年的人均购买力水平仅为3.9万美元,比1990年仅增长了4%。1、三十年不动的收入1900年以后,日本的投资活动戛然而止。银行破产、工厂倒闭、房贷成灾,充斥着不良资产的银行不得不合并重组;剧烈抬升的生产成本让企业大批倒闭,最惨的还是普通人——在倒闭潮中被裁员、一辈子的积蓄在泡沫危机中挥发、还要背上沉重的房贷。而在终身雇佣制和年功序列崩解后,为了保住工作而拼命加班,“社畜”文化虽然不诞生于日本的泡沫危机,但却在这之后得到了固化——接受竞争和生产效率至上的齿轮对自己的压榨,成了日本打工人最无奈的选择。但社会发展的洪流推进着日本人前进,却没能给他们应有的回报。2021年2月,日本厚生劳动省发布的“勤劳统计调查”显示,日本2020年的人均月薪为31万8299日元,约合1.96万元人民币,同比减少1.2%,创下12年以来最大降幅。而这一数字在1990年时是35万元左右,当时的日本人平均年收入是425万日元,以当时的汇率计算,月薪约合1.16万人民币。连续30年“原地踏步”的平均年收入,成了日本最猛烈的“避孕药”。2、难以逆转的老龄化2020年,日本总人口居世界11位,是1950年以来首次跌出前十。从1974到2020年,日本出生率由1.86%降至0.67%,在2008年左右开始陷入连续13年的人口负增长。同时,日本65岁及以上老年人口达3640万,在总人口中所占比例达29.1%。少子老龄化,导致日本陷入严重的劳动力供给不足、劳动生产率增速趋缓,进而使经济增速持续放缓:“1961-2020年日本劳动年龄人口增速、劳动生产率增速与经济走势基本同步变化。伴随1961-1975年日本劳动年龄人口平均增速维持在1.6%的高位、劳动生产率增速达到8.4%峰值,实际GDP平均增速也维持在7.7%的高位;1976-1988年劳动年龄人口、劳动生产率分别维持0.9%、3.7%的低速增长,实际GDP增速也降至4.4%;1989-2020年劳动年龄人口、劳动生产率增速分别从0.9%、4.4%大幅降至-0.8%、1.1%,实际GDP增速从5.4%降至-4.4%。”在劳动人口下降,税收不断减少的情况下,需要支出的养老金等费用却在急速扩大,自1990年起,依附养老金生活的人数已经是纳税人的5倍。2004年日本启动了养老金改革,每年以0.354%的涨幅提高税收,到2017年纳税人缴纳的养老金已占到个人年收入的18.3%,成了日本民众沉重的负担。日本人类发展指数的排名(测量人均GDP,教育,以及医疗),则从1990年的世界第一掉落至2020年的世界第十九。同时,日本年轻人因预期收入下降而形成的生活态度消极、物质欲望低下、缺乏奋斗动力的风气,由此产生“蛰居族”。根据日本厚生劳动省定义,蛰居族为持续6个月以上待在家里不出门,几乎和外界断绝联系的人群,根据日本内阁府《生活状况相关调查》数据,15-39岁、40-64岁人口蛰居族分别达54.1、61.3万人。老年人的消费和购房需求远低于年轻人,年轻人又严重缺乏消费欲望,使得总消费难以大幅提升,日本陷入“低欲望社会”。3、终身QE,却始终乏力2021年,日本以49374亿美元的GDP总量跌下“5字头”,但依旧是傲视欧洲,名列世界第三大经济体的经济大国,看起来似乎并不差。但实际上,日本1995年GDP就已经达到了5.55万亿美元,当时日本GDP与美国GDP的比率是71.34%,2021年,这个比率变成了21.46%。与过往的辉煌相比,如今的日本确实有些困窘。同时,日本的宏观杠杆率也在全球领先。国际清算银行(BIS)最新数据显示,2021 年二季度末,各国宏观杠杆率中美国为286.2%、欧元区为284.3%,而日本为416.5%。庞大的债务规模来源于日本数十年的量化宽松。量化宽松,是日本在融领域的一个创新。1998年,日本央行本央行第一次开始实行零利率和量化宽松政策,即通过对通货供应量的控制来调节经济活动。2013年,日本央行行长黑田东彦推出提振通胀的货币政策刺激计划。从2013年开始,日元兑美元持续贬值,出口实现了较大幅度增长;同时日本基准利率一路下行,十年期国债利率在2016年甚至下降至负数。同时日本央行开始大规模购入ETF(交易所交易基金),年均ETF购买规模接近4万亿日元,到2021年,日本央行持有股票占股票ETF的80%以上,占东京证券交易所总市值的5%以上。虽然日经225指数从2012年的八千点附近,一路走强,在2021年2月甚至突破了三万点大关,但这似乎仍然是一场镜花水月的泡沫化繁荣,因为日本央行注入的巨量基础货币既没有拉高通胀率,也没有拉动经济增长。经济结构上,日本除核心基础原材料依然保持壁垒优势,其他产业几乎都在裹足不前。汽车、造船、机床、电子产业的市场都在被美、中、韩等国瓜分,新兴产业上更是少有建树。目前日本独角兽企业数量仅6家,大幅落后于美、中、印、英、德、的554、180、64、43、26家,且估值均小于20亿美元。同时,日本的债务急剧扩张,截至2021年12月底,由国债、借款及政府短期证券构成的日本国家债务达到1218.4万亿日元,日本国民人均负债约为971万日元,约合人民币53万4573元。但在美、英、欧等央行均已开始紧缩步伐的当下,日本央行却仍旧未改变宽松的货币政策。“逆市”宽松、无限量印钞、日元连跌日元的连跌始于3月份。在3月美联储加息落地,并释放后续将加大加息幅度和加快缩表的信号后,英、欧均开始加速收紧货币政策,但日本央行却反其道而行之,坚持维持量化宽松政策。3 月 28 日,日本央行发布新闻稿宣布,将在3月 29-31 日间,发动抑制利率上升的“连续性指定价格市场操作”措施,即以指定的利率,无限量从民间金融机构手中收购公债。当天,日元汇率重挫1.38%。4月20日,不到一个月的时间内日本央行又宣布无限量购买10年期国债,以捍卫10年期日本国债0.25%的收益率上限,再度推动了日元的贬值。有专家认为,由于日元贬值有利于日本以出口为导向的经济,日本央行一直将宽松的货币环境作为提振市场预期的重要手段,尤其是在刚刚进入新财年的当下,日本央行更难有可能收紧货币政策。但宽松能挽救日本经济吗?实际上,日本贸易结构并不稳定,自安倍政府上台推出无限刺激政策后,出口总额在2012~2015年连续下降,仅2016、2017年两年保持了贸易顺差状态。近期全球原油和原材料价格飙升,日元贬值更是抬高了日本企业的成本,拓宽了输入型通胀的渠道。同时,根据OECD发布的“附加值贸易统计”数据显示,日本国内创造的附加值已经从1995年的94%降至2018年的83%,降低了11%,日本相关高附加值产品和服务已经越来越难抵消其不断提升的生产成本。唯一得益的,是日本本土的投机者们,随着美联储大幅落地,美债收益率持续飙涨,美日国债利差已经越来越大,于是本土的投机者们开始大规模沽空日元,借日元买美债的套利。对于老百姓来说呢?物价提升导致生活成本上升、消费力削弱,“失落的三十年”似乎又要延期——被日本央行认定“有利于经济”的日元贬值,多年来从未有效提振过日本的经济增长,反而让日本经济十数年来无法从大规模金融缓和政策中脱出。三十年前,时任央行行长三重野康告诫政府:一个国家绝对不能靠吹经济泡沫生存,否则将是国家的大害。于是在他上台不久后日本就实行了紧缩性的货币政策,大幅度提高了贷款利率,主动刺破泡沫。这场硬着陆让日本陷入了数十年的萧条,却也常被后人视为“壮士断腕”的果决。只是前车已覆,后未知更。三十年过去,日本似乎还是那个日本。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2642,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079771648,"gmtCreate":1657244781084,"gmtModify":1676535978270,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079771648","repostId":"1154580307","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2447,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079135963,"gmtCreate":1657156686552,"gmtModify":1676535960636,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079135963","repostId":"1177613805","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177613805","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657148501,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177613805?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-07

At the June meeting, Fed officials believe that the July meeting may be suitable for a rate hike of 75 basis points or 50 basis points; It will take time for inflation to drop to 2%, and rate hike may lead to a period of economic slowdown, but the key to full employment is to reduce inflation; At present, there is a deep-rooted risk of high inflation, and there is concern that the May CPI suggests that inflation will last longer than previously expected; If inflation expectations get out of control, reducing inflation will pay a higher price. Minutes of the meeting released on Wednesday, July 6, Eastern Time showed that at the June monetary policy meeting, Federal Reserve officials admitted that rate hike may lead to a slowdown in economic growth, but believed that it may take a longer rate hike to prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched. Because the outlook for inflation has deteriorated, interest rates need to be raised to restrictive levels that deliberately slow down the economy.</p><p>At the same time, the minutes confirmed that the Fed will discuss at this month's meeting whether to continue the rate hike by 75 basis points or slow it down to 50 basis points.</p><p>According to media comments, some investors believe that the hawkish stance reiterated by the Federal Reserve at its June meeting is outdated, considering that recent data shows that economic growth is slightly slower. This pushed U.S. stocks higher during the session, and the three major indexes that turned down more than once during the session completely got rid of the decline.</p><p>July meeting to consider whether to rate hike another 75 basis points</p><p>The Federal Reserve's June meeting decided on a 75 basis point rate hike, the strongest rate hike in more than 27 years. The minutes of this meeting showed that almost all Fed policymakers agreed to June because the labor market supply is very tight, inflation is much higher than the inflation target of the Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy Committee FOMC of 2%, and the recent inflation outlook has deteriorated since the May Fed meeting. rate hike was 75 basis points, and only one voted against rate hike 50 basis points.</p><p>When discussing possible policy actions at future meetings, the participating officials still expect that it is appropriate to continue the rate hike in the future. The minutes specifically mentioned:</p><p>Participants decided that the next meeting (Wall Street News Note: That is<b>July meeting</b>)<b>Could fit rate hike 75 basis points or 50 basis points</b>。<b>Attendees</b>It is agreed that the economic outlook guarantees a restrictive stance on (monetary) policy.

It will take time for inflation to fall to 2% rate hike could lead to a period of economic slowdown</p><p>The minutes showed that at the June meeting, Fed policymakers predicted that it would take time to reduce inflation, and that lowering inflation would come at a price of possible slowdown in economic growth.</p><p>Participants believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's epidemic prevention and other factors that restrict the supply environment will affect the inflation outlook, and it may take some time for inflation to fall back to the Fed's target. Participants also determined that maintaining a strong labor market in the process of reducing inflation to 2% will depend on many factors affecting supply and demand. Participants recognized that firm policies could slow economic growth for some time, but they expected that bringing inflation back to 2% was the key to achieving sustained full employment. There are deep-rooted risks of high inflation, concerns that May CPI suggests inflation lasts longer than previously expected</p><p>According to the minutes, Fed policymakers at the meeting believed that since inflation is much higher than the Fed's target level, the Fed needs to change to a restrictive policy stance to achieve the dual goals of full employment and price stability.

Minutes of the meeting released on Wednesday, July 6, Eastern Time showed that at the June monetary policy meeting, Federal Reserve officials admitted that rate hike may lead to a slowdown in economic growth, but believed that it may take a longer rate hike to prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched. Because the outlook for inflation has deteriorated, interest rates need to be raised to restrictive levels that deliberately slow down the economy.</p><p>At the same time, the minutes confirmed that the Fed will discuss at this month's meeting whether to continue the rate hike by 75 basis points or slow it down to 50 basis points.</p><p>According to media comments, some investors believe that the hawkish stance reiterated by the Federal Reserve at its June meeting is outdated, considering that recent data shows that economic growth is slightly slower. This pushed U.S. stocks higher during the session, and the three major indexes that turned down more than once during the session completely got rid of the decline.</p><p>July meeting to consider whether to rate hike another 75 basis points</p><p>The Federal Reserve's June meeting decided on a 75 basis point rate hike, the strongest rate hike in more than 27 years. The minutes of this meeting showed that almost all Fed policymakers agreed to June because the labor market supply is very tight, inflation is much higher than the inflation target of the Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy Committee FOMC of 2%, and the recent inflation outlook has deteriorated since the May Fed meeting. rate hike was 75 basis points, and only one voted against rate hike 50 basis points.</p><p>When discussing possible policy actions at future meetings, the participating officials still expect that it is appropriate to continue the rate hike in the future. The minutes specifically mentioned:</p><p>Participants decided that the next meeting (Wall Street News Note: That is<b>July meeting</b>)<b>Could fit rate hike 75 basis points or 50 basis points</b>。<b>Attendees</b>It is agreed that the economic outlook guarantees a restrictive stance on (monetary) policy. And they<b>Recognize that if high inflationary pressures persist, the stance may even be more restrictive</b>(even more restrictive). It will take time for inflation to fall to 2% rate hike could lead to a period of economic slowdown</p><p>The minutes showed that at the June meeting, Fed policymakers predicted that it would take time to reduce inflation, and that lowering inflation would come at a price of possible slowdown in economic growth.</p><p>Participants believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's epidemic prevention and other factors that restrict the supply environment will affect the inflation outlook, and it may take some time for inflation to fall back to the Fed's target. Participants also determined that maintaining a strong labor market in the process of reducing inflation to 2% will depend on many factors affecting supply and demand. Participants recognized that firm policies could slow economic growth for some time, but they expected that bringing inflation back to 2% was the key to achieving sustained full employment. There are deep-rooted risks of high inflation, concerns that May CPI suggests inflation lasts longer than previously expected</p><p>According to the minutes, Fed policymakers at the meeting believed that since inflation is much higher than the Fed's target level, the Fed needs to change to a restrictive policy stance to achieve the dual goals of full employment and price stability. Moreover, from a risk management perspective, because once inflation is higher than expected, the Fed can be in a better position to strengthen its restrictive efforts.</p><p>many participants judged that,<b>Now the big risk for the (FOMC) committee is</b>,<b>If the public begins to doubt whether the Committee can ensure its determination to adjust its policy stance, high inflation may become deeply ingrained.</b>In this regard, participants stressed that appropriately firm monetary policy, coupled with clear and effective communication, are essential to restoring price stability. In terms of inflation, Fed officials at the meeting pointed out that inflation is still too high and continues to be well above the long-term target of 2%.</p><p>Attendees<b>worry</b>,<b>May CPI data suggests inflationary pressures have not shown signs of abating</b>。 Many people (a number of) treat this as<b>Reinforces the view that inflation will be more persistent than they previously expected</b>。 Inflation has upside risks such as rising commodity prices. If inflation expectations get out of control, inflation will pay a higher price</p><p>When assessing the economy, Fed officials attending the meeting emphasized that they are very concerned about inflation risks and closely monitor inflation and developments related to inflation expectations.</p><p>Most participants believed that the risk of inflation was on the upside side, citing a variety of related risks, including ongoing supply bottlenecks and rising energy and commodity prices. Participants determined that the uncertainty of economic growth in the next few years is high.</p><p>Most participants assessed that the outlook for economic growth has downside risks. The downside risks include that further tightening of the financial environment will have a greater negative impact on economic activities than expected, and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and China's epidemic prevention on economic growth. The impact exceeded expectations.</p><p>On inflation expectations, the minutes showed that,</p><p>While indicators of long-term inflation expectations from household surveys, professional forecasters and market participants are generally consistent with the FOMC Committee's long-term inflation target of 2%,<b>Many participants are worried that long-term inflation expectations may begin to rise to levels that are not in line with the 2% target. These participants pointed out that if inflation expectations get out of control, it will cost more to let inflation fall back to the FOMC target</b>。 Market reaction</p><p>After the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting were released at midday, U.S. stocks first fell back and then soon rose in the short term.

大宗商品继续上周下行大势2、英国卫生大臣和财政大臣因对首相失去信心而辞职3、美债掀起惊涛 衰退担忧下2-5年期收益率曲线一度倒挂4、美国WTI原油重挫8.2% 跌破100美元关口5、通胀雪上加霜 美国煤炭价格在全球能源紧缺中创下历史新高6、“木头姐”:美联储已经慌了 经济中已出现通缩经济衰退担忧引发连锁效应 大宗商品继续上周下行大势由于各国央行的紧缩货币政策和对经济衰退的担忧,大宗商品市场继续上周的行情,呈现下降趋势。虽然本周全球宏观经济数据表明经济活动放缓,但央行主要官员发出的指示,表明继续实施当前的货币政策,也对投资者的风险偏好产生了负面影响。对全球衰退的担忧也支撑了对美元的需求;美元指数上周收于105.1点,为2002年12月以来的最高周收盘价。每盎司黄金价格为1784美元,创2022年1月以来的最低水平,连续第三周下跌。上周,白银下跌6%,铂金下跌2.2%,为2020年7月以来的最低水平,而钯金上涨4.5%。铜价创下2021年2月份以来的最低水平,上周收盘下跌4.3%。铅损失1.3%,铝损失0.8%,镍损失1.5%,锌损失12.5%。对全球经济放缓的担忧加剧后,铜正在贬值。虽然投资者因供应有限而避开锌,但镍价格随着库存的减少而上涨。英国卫生大臣和财政大臣因对首相失去信心而辞职当地时间5日,英国卫生大臣赛义德·贾维德和财政大臣里希·苏纳克因对首相约翰逊失去信心而从政府辞职。贾维德在社交媒体表示,自己已向首相约翰逊递交辞呈。贾维德称,担任这个角色是一种巨大的荣幸,但自己很遗憾不能再凭良心继续工作下去。苏纳克在辞呈中表示:“公众期望政府能够正确、称职和认真地管理国家。我相信这些标准值得为之奋斗,而我们的国家正面临着巨大的挑战,这就是我辞职的原因。”当天,首相约翰逊为自己用人不察、任命保守党副党鞭克里斯托弗·平彻担任政府职务而公开道歉。此前由约翰逊任命的保守党副党鞭克里斯托弗·平彻被曝“咸猪手”,并于6月30日辞职。然而,平彻后续被曝出更多不端行为,引发舆论对约翰逊是否明知其品行仍委以重任的质疑。美债掀起惊涛 衰退担忧下2-5年期收益率曲线一度倒挂美债市场多年来最疯狂的走势令交易员们无暇享受暑假。一个备受关注的的波动率指标飙升至2020年3月市场因为疫情而崩盘以来的最高水平。一方面,持续存在的通胀和美联储紧缩政策承诺令美债遭遇至少半个世纪以来最猛烈的抛售,另一方面,经济衰退的风险上升,在投资者将美国国债作为避险资产时,这个隐忧一直在下拉收益率水平。两股力量周二反复拉锯, 基准10年期美国国债收益率在海外交易中一度上涨10个基点至2.98%,但后来由于经济忧虑再度涌现,收益率涨势逆转,最低跌到了2.8%。盘中,2年期收益率一度自6月中旬以来首次略高于10年期收益率,并且自2020年3月以来首次高于5年期收益率。这种曲线倒挂现象表明市场认为经济放缓最终会导致短期利率下行。美国WTI原油重挫8.2% 跌破100美元关口北京时间6日凌晨,原油期货价格周二大幅收跌,美国WTI原油期货跌破每桶100美元关口,创两个月来的最低收盘价。美元走强以及对经济衰退可能损害能源需求前景的担忧情绪令油价承压。分析师指出,原油期货价格的下跌不可避免,因为在对制裁的担忧让位于俄罗斯向亚洲新买家出售石油的现实,原油市场重新定价,油价企对需求和经济的负面影响已变得越来越明显。纽约商品交易所8月交割的西德州中质原油(WTI)期货价格收跌8.93美元,跌幅为8.24%,报收于每桶99.50美元,创3月中旬以来最大跌幅,以及5月10日以来的最低收盘价。通胀雪上加霜 美国煤炭价格在全球能源紧缺中创下历史新高全球电力需求大幅走高、夏季气温上升加之污染最重的化石燃料供应有限,美国煤炭价格涨破历史最高水平。美国能源信息管理局周二发布的数据显示,截至7月1日当周,伊利诺伊盆地煤炭现货价格飙升每短吨190.25美元。阿巴拉契亚中部煤价也跃升至每短吨168.05美元。上述价格创出2005年以来的最高纪录,超过了2008年的峰值。其他地区的供应受阻推高了对美国煤炭的需求。俄乌冲突扰乱了能源市场,世界各地的电力生产商都在竭力保障煤和天然气供应以保持发电。然而美国供应商多年来一直在关闭矿山,现在难以满足飙升的消耗需求。“木头姐”:美联储已经慌了 经济中已出现通缩ARK Invest创始人兼首席执行官Cathie Wood在最新一期的In the Know播客中表示,美联储如此激进地提高利率表明其已经“惊慌失措”。Wood认为,政策制定者更关心其历史声誉而不是经济。通胀数据中的指标表明“美联储正在犯一个大错误”,“经济中已经出现了很多通缩”。Wood曾在上周表示,美国经济已经陷入衰退。行业资深人士认为,美联储将不得不采取更严厉的措施来遏制通胀。她相信,美联储已经触动了通缩的开关。至于当前的加密货币市场,Wood将她的立场描述为短期内“中性至正面”,并表示对加密货币行业“感觉好多了”。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2984,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9070016652,"gmtCreate":1656983485676,"gmtModify":1676535926692,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9070016652","repostId":"2249419340","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2533,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9047016978,"gmtCreate":1656827322694,"gmtModify":1676535901157,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9047016978","repostId":"2248136877","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9044616288,"gmtCreate":1656742454744,"gmtModify":1676535888492,"author":{"id":"3577532473997426","authorId":"3577532473997426","name":"Smile31","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9127c4a230a62af3d9bd8f9a0eb69269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577532473997426","idStr":"3577532473997426"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9044616288","repostId":"1164878609","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164878609","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据,旨在帮助投资者理解世界,做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1656718507,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164878609?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-02
