接下來將更新總經相關的知識概要,也是市場會關注的東西。但是總經很常是落後數據,所以還是以研究基本產業面為主。
上面都可以看不懂,這句話最重要:
相較於市場目前預期的快速轉向寬鬆政策,更可能看到中央銀行進行“暫時性暫停”。
有鑑于有些名詞大家可能不懂,以下名詞解釋:
股市、債市以及現在的美聯儲都認為軟著陸是最有可能的結果。如果軟著陸沒有實現,很多人肯定會感到失望。
可能有進步的經濟學家相信這一點,但作為投資者最重要的是關注市場。 許多經濟學家也在修正他們的想法。看看本季度共識的上升就知道了。
重點關注央行暫停失誤的情況,大多數央行仍有更多工作要做才能完成其職責,並且正在失去大宗商品通貨緊縮帶來的好處。許多國家(美國、澳大利亞、日本)的通脹上升而下降勢頭過慢,在某些情況下甚至更糟(英國、歐元)。
雖然核心是任務,但重要的是要認識到商品投入會影響所有價格。今天的通貨膨脹率是在石油和能源價格下跌帶來的通貨緊縮衝動幾乎達到歷史上任何時期之際出現的。
但有跡象表明,隨著美國天然氣價格今年一直處於上漲軌道,並且期貨價格顯示進一步上漲,這些壓力正在逆轉。
去年食品價格也迅速下跌,加劇了許多經濟體的最大通縮衝動。與天然氣價格類似,這些價格最近幾週出現了一些逆轉的跡象。
在如此嚴重的投入通貨緊縮時期,核心通脹仍然居高不下,這一事實反映出,與過去幾十年低而穩定的通脹期間的類似衝擊相比,通脹在經濟中的根深蒂固程度要高得多。
在核心價格增長上升的背景下,即使這些投入適度回歸積極的通脹衝動,也會帶來未來加速的風險。在這種情況出現之前,價格不會有太多的上漲。
這是因為問題更具結構性,而不僅僅是一些供應衝擊。 相對於生產率,名義工資增長過快。如果沒有縮小這一差距,標題調整為核心的可能性比相反的方式要大得多:
2023 年下半年最大的宏觀問題是核心通脹率是否會持續下降至最近較低的標題水平。
答案在於理解工資增長與生產率增長。 鑑於目前的動態,美聯儲似乎無法很快履行其職責。
因此,當我們進入央行大遊行時,所有的討論都在暫停(甚至可能很快就會降息!),重要的是要記住這裡需要做什麼工作,以及存在的上行意外風險,因為這些最大通貨緊縮衝動消退。
雖然央行行長可能很快就會發出暫停的信號(或者日本央行將繼續實施寬鬆政策),因為這是他們希望做的事情,但遵循與其職責相關的統計數據很重要。
他們距離盡快持久地履行其使命還有很長的路要走,而且風險正在上升。
因此,我們更有可能看到“短暫的暫停”,而不是許多市場目前定價的快速轉向寬鬆的類型。

The stock market, bond market, and now the Fed all think a soft landing is the most likely outcome.If it doesn’t come, a lot folks sure will be disappointed.
There may be progressional economists who believe that but as investors most important to focus on the markets. Also lots of economists are also revising their thinking.Just see the consensus rise over this quarter.
Focus on central banks pausing misses that most still have more work to get to their mandates and are losing the benefit of commodity disinflation.
Inflation elevated and downward momentum too slow across many countries (US, AUS, JPN) and in some cases even worse (UK, EUR).
While core is the mandate, it's important to recognize that commodity inputs impact all prices. The rates of inflation seen today have come at a time when the disinflationary impulse from oil & energy price declines have been about as extreme as any time in history.
But there are signs that these pressures are reversing as US gas prices have been on an upward trajectory for the year and futures prices suggest further upward movement.
Food prices have also declined rapidly over the last year adding to the maximum disinflationary impulse into many economies.Similar to gas prices, these prices have shown some signs of reversing in recent weeks
The fact that core inflation remains elevated during a period of such a significant input disinflation reflects that inflation is considerably more entrenched in the economy than similar shocks during the previous decades of low and stable inflation
Even a modest return of these inputs to a positive inflationary impulse against a backdrop of elevated core price growth creates the risk of an acceleration ahead. It's not gonna take too much more price movements upward before that may be the case.
That's because the problem is more structural than just some supply shocks. Nominal wages are growing too fast relative to productivity. Without that gap closing it is much more likely that headline adjusts to core than the opposite way around:
So as we go into this central bank palooza and all the talk is of pausing (and maybe even cutting soon!), its important to keep in mind what work there is to be done here and the risks that exist of an upside surprise as these max disinflationary impulses subside.
While the central bankers will likely signal a pause soon (or s continued easy BoJ) because that's what they hope to do, its important to follow the stats relative to their mandates.
They are still a long way from durably meeting their mandates soon and risks are to the upside.
Because of that its much more likely that we see a "transitory pause" than the type of quick shift to easing currently priced in many markets.
