Lydia Hu: 本周,美联储维持基准利率不变,表示需要更多信息来评估经济状况和通货膨胀走势。与此同时,特朗普总统坚持将在4月份实施更多关税。美联储主席鲍威尔表示,美国经济依然稳固,但预计今年和明年的经济增长将放缓。市场对美联储的决定反应不一,股票市场本周整体下跌。鲍威尔将关税导致的通胀称为"暂时性",引发市场担忧。 投资者如何应对当前的市场环境?Mahoney资产管理公司总裁Ken Mahoney对市场走势、特朗普的政策以及本周的其他主要商业新闻发表了自己的看法。 Ken Mahoney: 当前市场情绪低迷,但人工智能革命带来的巨额投资并未改变,这为投资者提供了抄底机会。市场波动为投资者提供了抄底机会,建议采取分批买入的方式。关税的不确定性可能会导致市场进一步恶化,企业可能会因为关税而提前公布业绩下调。关税政策的不确定性导致企业推迟重大决策。特朗普的关税政策旨在鼓励美国投资,并有企业为此加大投资。市场可能忽略了特朗普政策中除关税以外的积极方面,例如对能源领域的投资。降低油价有助于降低通胀,但市场反应过于迅速。关税政策虽然存在问题,但其目标是创造更公平的竞争环境。低油价对消费者有利,但可能降低石油生产的积极性。特朗普政府的能源政策旨在实现能源独立,减少对中东的依赖。增加石油和天然气生产对美国能源独立至关重要。美国需要能源独立,避免重蹈70年代石油禁运的覆辙。对政府建立战略加密货币储备基金的看法褒贬不一,但其符合特朗普政府的政策目标。建立主权加密货币基金应谨慎,避免过度依赖加密货币,应优先关注美元的稳定性。我对加密货币的投资持谨慎态度,认为其价值取决于投机而非实际用途。美国应优先关注美元的稳定性,而非加密货币。
