### 市场动态与新书发布

各位朋友，大家好！今天是3月21日，欢迎收听本期《市场每周》。在开始本期节目之前，我有一个非常特别的公告要宣布。今天，我将正式推出《中央银行101》的第二版。正如许多朋友所知，第一版于2021年初出版，从那时到现在，发生了很多事情。因此，第二版更新了图表上的数据，并且详细讨论了期间发生的重要事件。例如，从**Silvergate Bank**的转型到**Treasury buybacks**，再到如何解读**Treasury refunding announcement**等等。总体而言，新版内容增加了约15%。此外，您还会注意到书的尺寸变大了，整体制作看起来更加专业。老实说，我认为如果把它放在**Barnes & Noble**书店，人们不会觉得这是一本自出版的书。我的第一本书是我自己写的，并且是自出版的。它取得了成功。您可能不知道，书籍要成为畅销书是相当困难的，即使是被出版社挑选并借助其营销网络的作品。

我知道我的成功离不开大家的支持，特别是**金融Twitter社区**。因此，作为我感激之情的体现，我将以**50%的折扣**推出这本书。原价**CB101**是20美元，现在接下来的大约一到两周内，售价将是10美元。我很快会向我的**Newsletter**订阅者发送关于此事的邮件。非常感谢大家的支持，希望大家也能喜欢这一版。

好了，现在回到我们的常规节目。本周确实是令人兴奋的一周，市场出现了巨大的波动。一切似乎都由**中东战争**驱动。现在，最大的新闻无疑是全球央行预期的**大规模重新定价**。利率市场经历了巨大的动荡。因此，首先让我们谈谈利率市场正在发生什么，其次，我们开始看到这场战争可能如何结束的**轮廓**。让我们来谈谈最新的进展。

Hello
 my
 friends.
 Today
 is
 March
 21st


and
 this
 is
 Markets
 Weekly.
 All right,


before
 we
 begin,
 I
 have
 a
 very
 special


announcement
 to
 make.
 Today
 I
 am


officially
 launching
 the
 second
 edition


to
 central
 banking
 101.
 As
 many
 of
 you


know,
 the
 first
 edition
 was
 published
 in


early
 2021
 and
 between
 then
 and
 now
 a


lot
 of
 things
 have
 happened.
 So
 the


second
 edition
 updates
 the
 data
 on
 the


charts
 but
 also
 talks
 a
 lot
 about
 the


things
 that
 happened
 between
 then
 and


now.
 for
 example,
 the
 transition
 from


library
 to
 sofur
 run
 on
 Silicon
 Valley


Bank,
 um,
 Treasury
 buybacks,
 learning


how
 to
 read
 the
 Treasury
 refunding


announcement
 and
 so
 forth.
 So
 overall,


it's
 about
 15%
 more
 content.
 But
 you


also
 notice
 that
 the
 book
 the
 dimensions


are
 physically
 larger
 and
 it
 looks
 more


professionally
 done.
 Actually,
 I
 think


if
 I
 dropped
 this
 at
 Barnes
 &
 Noble,


people
 would
 not
 think
 that
 this
 is


something
 that
 was
 self-published.
 Now,


my
 first
 book
 I
 wrote
 myself
 and
 I
 I


self-published.
 Um,
 and
 it
 was
 a


success.
 So,
 you
 may
 not
 know
 this,
 but


it's
 actually
 very
 rare
 for
 books
 to


become
 successes,
 even
 those
 picked
 up


by
 publishers
 with
 their
 marketing


network.
 Now,
 I
 know
 I
 owe
 my
 success
 to


all
 of
 you
 guys,
 especially
 the


financial
 Twitter
 community.
 So,
 as
 a


token
 of
 my
 gratitude,
 I'm
 launching


this
 at
 a
 50%
 discount.
 Normally
 CB101


is
 $20,
 but
 now
 it's
 going
 to
 be
 on
 sale


for
 $10
 for,
 let's
 say,
 the
 next
 week
 or


two.
 And
 I
 will
 send
 out
 an
 email
 to
 my


newsletter
 subscribers
 about
 this
 soon.


So,
 thanks
 so
 much
 for
 your
 support
 and


hopefully
 you
 will
 enjoy
 this
 edition
 as


well.
 All
 right,
 now
 back
 to
 our
 regular


programming.
 So
 again,
 this
 past
 week


was
 a
 very
 exciting
 week.
 We
 had
 huge,


huge
 moves
 in
 markets.
 Again,
 everything


is
 driven
 by
 the
 war
 in
 the
 Middle
 East.


Now
 the
 biggest
 news
 of
 course
 is
 the


massive
 massive
 repricing
 in
 central


bank
 expectations
 across
 the
 world.


There
 was
 tremendous
 carnage
 in
 the


front
 end.
 So
 first
 off
 let's
 talk
 about


what's
 happening
 in
 the
 rates
 market


and
 secondly
 we
 are
 seeing
 some
 contours


as
 to
 how
 this
 work
 can
 end.
 So
 let's


talk
 about
 the
 latest
 developments
 as


well.

### 央行政策转向与利率市场剧变

好的，现在从**利率**开始说起。如果您观察**美国**和**英国**的**2年期国债收益率**，就会发现过去一周的表现非同寻常。

在**英国**，2年期国债收益率从高点到低点，**涨了100个基点**。市场现在普遍预计**英格兰银行**将进行**几次加息**。虽然英格兰银行上周开会决定维持现状并密切关注局势，但市场越来越确信，鉴于**高油价**，英格兰银行将不得不采取行动。

而在**美联储**方面，市场也出现了类似但**不那么极端**的反应。在**中东战争**爆发前，市场曾预期今年会有一次甚至两次降息。现在，市场则在消化**今年不降息**，甚至**可能加息**的可能性。因此，您可以看到2年期国债收益率也大幅飙升。

这种情况在全球范围内普遍存在，包括**欧盟**和**日本**，市场普遍预计**日本央行**将在下个月**加息**。

那么，根据**央行**的**教条**，当出现**能源冲击**时，应该怎么做呢？那就是“**看穿它**”（look through them）。其背后的逻辑，源于他们在**1970年代和80年代**的经验，即油价会上涨也会下跌。中东的地缘政治局势难以预测。如果现在加息，**货币政策**的作用会有**滞后**。也许等到货币政策最终对实体经济产生影响时，一切都已经过去了。这种观点在2003年的**伊拉克战争**以及“**沙漠风暴**”行动中被认为是成功的。当时，油价**飙升**，但在几周内就**完全回落**了。

这就是央行通常看待此类问题的方式。当然，这里存在一些细微差别。例如，就**美国**而言，**美联储**是一个**双重目标**的央行：**充分就业**和**物价稳定**。他们一开始就不能完全专注于通胀。而对于**英格兰银行**、**欧洲央行**等其他央行，情况则不同。它们只关注**通胀**。当然，我认为，根据你如何看待**能源冲击**，可以更有力地论证调整政策的必要性。

目前，**FOMC**（联邦公开市场委员会）中一位**重要的鸽派**官员——**Governor Waller**，他有着非常好的记录，过去几年在许多事情上都判断准确。因此，许多人关注他的观点来预测**货币政策**的走向。令我以及许多人感到惊讶的是，他在**上次FOMC会议**上**并未提出异议**。原因是在一月份，他曾因**劳动力市场**的**明显疲软**以及一些**轶事报告**（可能导致大量失业）而提出异议。而最近的**就业报告**显示**失业人数大幅增加**。所以我原以为Governor Waller会再次提出异议。但他没有。在他最新的公开讲话中，他解释了原因。他开始认同一种观点，即由于**劳动力增长预期**今年将**停滞不前**，因此**失业率的盈亏平衡点**（break-even rate）为**零**。

在这种情况下，我们不应惊讶于**基本没有新增就业岗位**。当然，**失业人数增加**是另一回事，但这使得最近的**就业损失**不那么令人担忧。所以，这又是**鹰派**的信号。

让我们听听他关于**能源冲击**的看法：

> “我一直想指出，油价上涨然后回落的情况，与油价上涨后长期维持高位的情况是截然不同的。后者会**回流到核心通胀**中，这时你就**不得不做出回应**，你不能仅仅‘看穿’它。”

所以，他的意思是，我们可以**忽略**这些**暂时的价格飙升**，但如果这是一个**结构性**的、**长期的**问题，即能源价格上涨后**持续高位**，那么它最终将**渗透到**经济的各个方面，他认为届时就**不能忽视**。

但这并不意味着**美联储**会**加息**。再次强调，**充分就业**的目标将是一个**制约因素**。但他确实**强烈暗示**，至少**目前**，他**不预计会有降息**。尽管他也提到，如果**劳动力市场**进一步**走弱**，并且之后有**更多清晰的信号**，他**可能**会**倾向于**在**今年晚些时候**主张**降息**。但**目前**，他将**密切关注**并**静观其变**。

因此，当一位**主要的鸽派**出现**立场转变**时，市场现在开始**预期**一种**更加鹰派的政策路径**。再次强调，当**央行立场**发生**巨大转变**时，这将**影响**到**大量资产**。我们也在本周看到了这一点。**S&P 500指数**表现不佳，**跌破了100日移动平均线**，甚至**短暂跌破了6500点**。

现在，**黄金**等其他资产也遭受了**重创**。我认为黄金的表现有点令人**意外**。你可能会认为**地缘政治风险**会**支撑金价**，但同时，**美元**正在**走强**，**利率**在**走高**，而黄金则**失去了一些关键的动能信号**。例如，**50日移动平均线**，而且历史上，**100日移动平均线**也曾提供支撑。看起来它也**失守了**。所以，可能存在一些**技术性下跌**。

因此，上周在市场上**几乎无处可藏**。**债券**在**抛售**，**股票**在**下跌**，**黄金**也在**下跌**。上周对**金融资产**来说是**糟糕的一周**。

展望全球，情况似乎会**持续下去**，除非我们终于从**中东战争**中获得**好消息**。

All
 right
 starting
 with
 interest
 rates.


So,
 if
 you
 look
 at
 the
 2-year
 yield
 in


the
 US
 and
 the
 UK,
 you
 can
 see
 that
 this


past
 week
 has
 been
 extraordinary.
 Now,


looking
 at
 the
 UK,
 you
 can
 see
 that
 uh


from
 the
 high
 from
 the
 highs
 to
 lows,


the
 2-year
 yield
 basically
 went
 up
 100


basis
 points.
 The
 market
 is
 now
 pricing


in
 a
 few
 rate
 hikes
 from
 the
 Bank
 of


England.
 Now,
 the
 Bank
 of
 England
 did


meet
 last
 week,
 decided
 to
 stand
 pat
 and


monitor
 the
 situation,
 but
 the
 market
 is


becoming
 increasingly
 convinced
 that
 due


to
 high
 oil
 prices,
 the
 Bank
 of
 England


is
 going
 to
 have
 to
 do
 something.
 Now,


the
 Federal
 Reserve,
 you
 also
 see
 the


market
 doing
 something
 similar,
 but
 not


as
 extreme.
 The
 market
 is
 pricing
 in


basically
 not
 just
 no
 cuts
 this
 year.


Again,
 heading
 into
 the
 Middle
 Eastern


war,
 the
 market
 was
 pricing
 in
 a
 cut
 or


two.
 Now,
 the
 market
 is
 pricing
 in
 some


probability
 of
 a
 rate
 hike
 this
 year.


And
 so,
 you
 see
 the
 two-year
 yield
 also


surge.
 Again,
 this
 is
 something
 that
 is


seen
 throughout
 the
 world
 in
 the


European
 Union,
 in
 Japan
 as
 well,
 where


the
 market
 is
 widely
 expecting
 the
 Bank


of
 Japan
 to
 hike
 rates
 the
 next
 month.


So,
 according
 to
 central
 banking
 dogma,


what
 you
 would
 do
 when
 you
 have
 these


energy
 shocks
 is
 that
 you
 look
 through


them.
 So
 the
 reasoning
 being,
 and
 this


is
 from
 their
 experience
 back
 in
 the


1970s
 and
 80s,
 is
 that
 oil
 prices
 go
 up


and
 down,
 up
 and
 down,
 um,
 a
 lot
 of
 this


Middle
 Eastern
 geopolitical
 stuff
 is


difficult
 to
 anticipate.
 And
 so
 if
 you


hike
 rates
 now,
 monetary
 policy
 acts


with
 a
 lag.
 So
 maybe
 when
 finally
 the


monetary
 policy
 is
 having
 some
 kind
 of


impact
 on
 the
 real
 economy,
 maybe
 this


is
 all
 over.
 This
 was
 a
 successful
 way


of
 looking
 at
 the
 world
 in
 uh
 the
 Iraq


war
 in
 2003
 and
 also
 operation
 desert


storm
 war.
 Oil
 prices
 spiked


tremendously
 and
 totally
 totally


imploded
 uh
 in
 a
 matter
 of
 uh
 of
 weeks


afterwards.


So
 that's
 how
 a
 central
 bank
 would


normally
 look
 at
 this.
 And
 again
 there's


some
 there's
 some
 nuance
 to
 this
 because


for
 the
 US
 for
 example
 the
 Fed
 is
 a


dualmandate
 central
 bank.
 It's
 full


employment
 and
 price
 stability.
 they


can't
 really
 focus
 totally
 on
 inflation


to
 begin
 with.
 For
 other
 central
 banks,


Bank
 of
 England,
 the
 ECB,
 it's
 a


different
 case.
 They
 are
 only
 thinking


about
 inflation.
 And
 sure,
 I
 think
 you


can
 more
 make
 a
 make
 a
 more
 forceful


case
 about
 uh
 adjusting
 policy
 depending


on
 how
 you
 perceive
 the
 energy
 shock.


Now,
 the
 leading
 uh
 dove
 on
 the
 FOMC
 has


been
 Governor
 Waller.
 He's
 has
 a
 very


good
 track
 record.
 he's
 been
 right
 about


a
 lot
 of
 things
 during
 the
 past
 few


years
 and
 so
 many
 people
 look
 to
 him
 as


to
 u
 what
 monetary
 policy
 could
 be.
 So
 I


think
 it
 surprised
 me
 and
 a
 lot
 of


people
 that
 he
 did
 not
 desent
 at
 the


last
 FOMC
 meeting.
 The
 reason
 being
 that


in
 January
 he
 desented
 citing
 notable


weakness
 in
 the
 labor
 market,
 anecdotal


reports
 that
 maybe
 we'll
 have
 a
 lot
 of


job
 loss
 and
 subsequently
 the
 most


recent
 jobs
 report
 showed
 a
 big
 loss
 in


jobs.
 So
 I
 was
 thinking
 that
 maybe


Governor
 Waller
 would
 descend.
 He
 did


not.
 And
 in
 his
 latest
 public
 remarks,


he
 tells
 you
 why.
 He
 is
 coming
 along
 to


the
 view
 that
 because
 labor
 force


projection
 is
 projected
 to
 not
 grow
 this


year
 that
 maybe
 the
 break
 even
 rate
 for


for
 the
 unemployment
 rate
 be
 is
 zero.


And
 so


if
 that's
 the
 case,
 we
 should
 not
 be


surprised
 if
 there's
 basically
 no
 job


growth.
 Of
 course,
 losing
 jobs
 is
 a


whole
 another
 matter,
 but
 that
 kind
 of


makes
 the
 recent
 job
 losses
 a
 little
 bit


less
 concerning.
 So
 again,
 that's


hawkish.
 And
 let's
 hear
 what
 he
 said


about
 the
 energy
 shock.


>> I
 always
 want
 to
 point
 out
 that


something
 where
 the
 oil
 goes
 up
 and
 then


it
 comes
 down
 is
 very
 different
 than
 oil


goes
 up
 and
 then
 stays
 there
 for
 a
 long


time.
 That's
 where
 you
 get
 back
 to
 this


issue
 where
 it
 bleeds
 through
 back
 into


core
 inflation
 and
 then
 you
 do
 have
 to


kind
 of
 respond.
 You
 can't
 just
 look


through
 it.


So,
 what
 he's
 saying
 is
 that
 sure,
 we


can
 look
 past
 these
 temporary
 spikes,


but
 if
 this
 is
 a
 structural
 long-term


thing,
 like
 the
 energy
 prices
 go
 up
 and


just
 stay
 up,
 it's
 eventually
 going
 to


bleed
 into
 everything,
 and
 he
 doesn't


think
 that
 he
 could
 look
 through
 that.


Now,
 that
 doesn't
 mean
 the
 Fed
 is
 going


to
 hike.
 Again,
 that
 full
 employment


mandate
 is
 going
 to
 be
 a
 constraint,
 but


he
 is
 strongly
 suggesting,
 but
 at
 least


for
 now,
 he's
 not
 projecting
 any
 cuts.


Although
 he
 did
 also
 note
 that
 should


the
 labor
 market,
 you
 know,
 weaken


further
 and
 then
 later
 on
 we
 have
 more


clarity,
 he
 could
 be
 open
 to
 be


advocating
 rate
 cuts
 later
 in
 the
 year.


But
 at
 the
 moment,
 uh
 that's
 uh
 that


he's
 uh
 going
 to
 just
 watch
 and
 see.
 And


so
 when
 you
 have
 a
 leading
 dove
 kind
 of


shift
 like
 that,
 the
 market
 is
 now


pricing
 in
 a
 much
 more
 hogish
 policy


path.
 And
 again,
 when
 you
 have
 this
 huge


shift,
 huge
 sea
 change
 in
 the
 stance
 of


central
 bank
 policy,
 it's
 going
 to
 bleed


into
 a
 ton
 of
 assets.
 And
 we
 see
 that
 uh


this
 this
 past
 week
 as
 well.
 The
 S&P
 500


did
 not
 do
 very
 well.
 Broke
 the
 100
 day


moving
 average
 and
 even
 dipped
 briefly


below
 6,500.


Now,
 you
 other
 assets
 like
 gold
 also


took
 a
 pretty
 big
 beating.
 Again,
 I


think
 gold
 is
 kind
 of a
 I
 think
 it's
 a


little
 bit
 surprising
 to
 many
 people.


You'd
 expect
 that
 geopolitical
 risk
 to


support
 gold,
 but
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 the


dollar
 is
 strengthening,
 rates
 are
 going


higher,
 and
 you
 do
 see
 gold
 losing
 some


key
 momentum
 signals.
 The
 50-day
 moving


average,
 for
 example,
 and
 historically,


the
 100
 day
 moving
 average
 has
 also
 been


of
 support.
 Looks
 like
 it
 lost
 that
 as


well.
 So,
 you
 could
 have
 some
 technical


moves
 over
 there.
 So,
 there
 was


basically
 no
 place
 to
 hide
 in
 the
 market


the
 past
 week.
 Bonds
 selling
 off,
 uh,


equity
 selling
 off,
 gold
 selling
 off.
 It


was
 it
 was
 a
 terrible
 week
 in
 financial


assets


and
 looking
 across
 the
 world
 it
 looks


like
 this
 is
 going
 to
 continue
 unless
 we


get
 some
 finally
 get
 some
 good
 news
 from


the
 war
 in
 the
 Middle
 East
 uh
 which
 is


what
 we'll
 talk
 about
 now.
 So
 just


looking
 at
 the
 oil
 price
 you
 can
 see


that
 the
 oil
 price
 just
 kind
 of
 is
 is


quite
 elevated.
 So,
 it
 is
 volatile
 with


Brent
 crude
 around
 $110,
 but
 basically


it's
 uh
 it's
 kind
 of
 doesn't
 look
 like


it's
 it's
 going
 down
 now.
 It's
 really


hard
 to
 get
 news,
 accurate
 news
 of
 the


war.
 We
 are
 of
 course
 at
 a
 time
 where


everyone
 is
 in
 full
 propaganda
 mode.
 Uh


you
 hear
 over
 and
 over
 again
 that
 the
 US


has
 destroyed
 all
 Iran's
 capabilities,


its
 navies,
 it
 launches,
 its
 missiles


and
 so
 forth.
 But
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 Iran


keeps
 launching
 missiles,
 right?
 So


something's
 not
 adding
 up.


Now,
 many
 people
 of
 course
 are
 looking


to
 President
 Trump
 to
 kind
 of
 back
 down.


That's
 what
 everyone
 is
 expects
 him
 to


do.
 That's
 seems
 to
 be
 what
 happened
 in


um
 liberation
 day.
 And
 on
 Friday
 after


the
 market
 closed,
 we
 had
 a
 truth
 social


post
 from
 President
 Trump
 suggesting


that
 he's
 thinking
 about
 winding
 down


the
 war.
 and
 aftermarket
 the
 markets


took
 that
 to
 be
 some
 kind
 of
 taco
 and


and
 traded
 very
 positively.


Now
 I
 would
 be
 cautious
 about
 that


because
 as
 we
 all
 know
 Trump
 has
 been


saying
 a
 lot
 of
 things
 and
 a
 lot
 of


things
 haven't
 been
 adding
 up.
 I
 think


this
 just
 a
 week
 ago
 he
 was
 telling


everyone
 that
 the
 war
 was
 very
 complete


uh
 but
 uh
 but
 since
 then
 the
 war
 did


escalate.
 The
 biggest
 escalation
 last


week
 of
 course
 has
 to
 do
 with
 attacks
 on


energy
 production
 facilities.
 Now
 the


straight
 of
 harmon
 remains
 largely


closed
 and
 so
 energy
 is
 not
 going


through
 but
 the
 capacity
 of
 of
 the
 Gulf


states
 to
 produce
 hasn't
 been
 impacted


until
 last
 week,
 when
 we
 had
 an
 Iranian


missile
 attack
 on
 major
 Qatari
 gas


fields.
 Now
 Qatar
 is
 one
 of
 the
 largest


gas
 producers
 in
 the
 world,
 and
 according


to
 reports,
 that
 attack
 took
 down
 their


capacity
 and
 they
 may
 not
 be
 able
 to


produce
 gas
 at
 the
 same
 capacity
 for


another
 few
 years.
 So
 that's
 a


structural
 decline
 in
 the
 capacity
 of


the
 world
 to
 produce
 gas.
 So
 even
 if
 the


straight
 of
 Hammoose
 were
 to
 reopen,


fewer
 gas
 would
 flow
 through.
 That


suggests
 structurally
 higher
 prices
 and


of
 course
 less
 economic
 growth,
 fewer


inputs,
 fewer
 outputs.


Now
 the
 strike
 by
 Iran
 was
 in
 response


to
 Israel
 strike
 on
 Iranian
 gas
 fields.


Now
 Iran
 had
 told
 everyone
 that
 if
 you


strike
 our
 energy
 facilities,
 we
 will


escalate
 and
 we
 will
 attack
 neighboring


Gulf
 facilities.
 they
 were
 attacked
 and


that's
 exactly
 what
 they
 did
 and


President
 Trump
 seems
 to
 have
 panicly


panicked
 in
 a
 sense,
 and
 immediately
 said


that
 you
 know
 this
 is
 not
 going
 to


happen
 anymore.
 So
 we
 do
 have
 some


degree
 of
 dant
 mutually
 excured


destruction
 over
 there.


Um
 but
 as
 long
 as
 the
 street
 of
 Hermoose


remains
 closed,
 it
 does
 it
 seems
 like


this
 is
 just
 not
 a
 solution
 and
 oil


prices
 will
 continue
 to
 drift
 higher.


Now,
 although
 the
 president
 said
 that


he's
 thinking
 about
 winding
 down


the
 war,
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 we
 also
 have


reports
 that
 he's
 sending
 in
 the


Marines.
 So,
 it
 looks
 like
 Marines
 are


being
 deployed
 and
 in
 a
 week
 or
 two,


there's
 going
 to
 be
 a
 few
 thousand


Marines
 uh
 in
 in
 around
 Iran
 potentially


as
 an
 option
 to
 take
 Kar
 Island.
 Now,


there's
 some
 reports
 suggesting
 that
 the


president
 thinks
 that
 if
 he
 were
 to
 take


Car
 Island,
 which
 he
 perceives
 to
 be
 a


major
 part
 of
 Iranian
 oil


infrastructure,
 and
 there
 are
 oil


analysts
 who
 disagree
 with
 this,
 maybe


it
 will
 have
 more
 negotiating
 leverage


to
 try
 to
 demand
 a
 better
 deal.
 That


seems
 to
 be
 how
 he's
 thinking
 about
 it.


So,
 uh,
 in
 that
 sense,
 maybe
 he's
 right


in
 saying
 that
 the
 war
 is
 winding
 down.


If
 in
 his
 in
 his
 mind
 he
 is
 able
 to


successfully
 take
 Car
 Island
 and
 then


demand
 a
 resolution
 then
 yeah,
 maybe
 the


war
 is
 is
 almost
 over.
 Again,
 there
 are


three
 people
 at
 this
 table
 from
 from


Israel's
 perspective


doesn't
 seem
 like
 they
 they
 want
 to
 wind


down.
 I
 mean,
 Prime
 Minister
 Netanyahu
 is


on
 the
 record
 saying
 that
 you
 know,
 maybe


there
 might
 be
 a
 ground
 component
 that


might
 need
 and
 the
 ground
 component


could
 be
 many
 things.
 It
 could
 be
 the


Iranian
 people
 rising
 up.
 It
 could
 be


Marines
 on
 the
 ground
 and
 so
 forth,
 but


it
 seems
 unlikely
 that
 he
 would
 just


call
 it
 quits
 when
 from
 this
 perspective


hasn't
 really
 completed
 the
 mission,


right?
 Hasn't
 really
 taken
 hold
 of
 the


uranium
 or
 destroyed
 the
 Iran's
 missile


capabilities
 and
 so
 forth.
 So,
 it


doesn't
 seem
 to
 to
 me
 that
 it's
 time
 for


him
 to
 quit.
 Now,
 from
 Iran's


perspective,
 we're
 getting
 kind
 of
 an


interesting
 picture
 of
 how
 the
 world
 war


could
 end.
 Now
 this
 morning
 we
 have
 news


that
 Iran
 and
 Japan
 are
 negotiating
 for


passage
 through
 the
 straight
 of
 Harmuz.


We
 also
 have
 anecdotal
 reports
 that
 some


countries
 are
 paying
 a
 toll
 to
 Iran
 for


passage
 through
 uh
 the
 strait.
 So
 what


could
 happen
 for
 them
 as
 a
 potential


endgame
 is
 that
 they
 retain
 control
 of


the
 straight
 of
 Humuz
 and
 everyone
 can


pass
 but
 in
 order
 to
 pass,
 you
 got
 to
 pay


up.
 Now
 there
 are
 reports
 suggesting


that
 the
 payment
 is
 actually
 settled
 in


R&B,
 so
 it
 would
 be
 held
 in
 the
 bank
 in


China
 safe
 from
 US
 sanctions.
 If
 that


were
 the
 case,
 if
 Iran
 were
 to
 be
 able
 to


retain
 control
 of
 the
 trade
 of
 a
 moves


so
 it's
 better
 scenario
 for
 the
 global


economy
 than
 it
 is
 now,
 because
 oil
 and


gas
 will
 be
 flowing,
 gas
 and
 oil
 prices


will
 come
 down.
 um,
 that
 is
 great
 for
 for


the
 global
 economy
 and
 great
 for
 many


people
 who
 otherwise
 I
 think
 we
 would


have
 severe
 threat
 of
 actually


starvation
 in
 poor
 countries.
 Um,
 but
 at


the
 end
 of
 the
 day,
 oil
 and
 gas
 prices


will
 be
 structurally
 higher
 to
 account


for
 that
 toll
 and
 Iran
 will
 be
 making


money.
 Iran
 has
 been
 sanctioned
 heavily


uh
 throughout
 by
 basically
 everyone


except
 China
 and
 then
 Iran's
 friends.


Um,
 so
 it
 will
 be
 able
 to
 get
 some
 more


income
 and
 that
 will
 help
 him


economically
 and
 maybe
 they
 can
 paint


this
 as
 reparations
 for
 the
 damage
 done


and
 be
 willing
 to
 to
 settle
 that.


However,
 of
 course,
 it
 seems
 unlikely


that
 the
 United
 States
 and
 um,
 everyone


else
 well
 and
 Israel
 would
 accept
 an


Iran
 not
 just
 intact,
 but
 also
 collecting


toll,
 making
 money.


Now,
 Treasury
 Secretary
 Scott
 Besson
 on


Friday
 actually
 uh
 lifted
 sanctions
 on


Iranian
 oil
 that
 is
 at
 sea
 and
 allowed


Iran
 to
 sell
 that.
 That
 hasn't
 happened


for
 a
 very
 long
 time.
 And
 so,
 so
 far
 at


least,
 uh,
 seems
 like
 Iran
 has
 been
 able


to
 make
 money
 off
 this
 conflict.
 Again,


we
 are
 in
 the
 fog
 of
 war.
 No
 one
 knows


what's
 going
 to
 happen.
 Uh,
 but
 that's


just
 a
 possible
 way
 that
 this
 war
 can


end
 in
 the
 coming
 weeks.
 Again,
 every


day
 that
 this
 conflict
 goes
 on,
 that's


energy
 that's
 not
 being
 uh,
 not
 being


produced,
 not
 being
 sent.
 And
 that


raises
 the
 risk
 of
 a
 global
 recession.
 I


personally
 think
 that
 the
 global
 economy


has
 already
 been
 nuked.
 We
 are
 all
 just


bathing
 in
 radiation.
 And
 as
 radiation


sickness
 goes,
 first
 you
 feel
 fine,
 then


you
 don't
 feel
 fine,
 and
 then
 you
 die.


So,
 I
 think
 things
 are
 are
 not
 good.
 And


I
 wouldn't
 look
 solely
 to
 the
 stock


market
 as
 a
 barometer
 because
 again


markets
 the
 stock
 market
 and
 the
 real


economy
 uh,
 they
 are
 related,
 but
 they're


not
 the
 same
 thing.
 All
 right,
 so
 that's


how
 I
 prepare
 for
 today.
 Thanks
 so
 much


for
 tuning
 in,
 and
 I
 think
 next
 week
 will


be
 also
 very
 exciting.

### 地缘政治升级与市场恐慌

我们再来看一下**中东的最新局势**。**石油价格**依然**居高不下**，**布伦特原油**价格在**110美元**左右波动，但看起来**不太可能**短期内**大幅下跌**。

关于战争的消息，准确的信息很难获取。我们正处于一个**信息宣传战**的高峰期。你可能反复听到**美国**宣称摧毁了**伊朗**的所有军事能力，包括海军、导弹发射系统等。但同时，**伊朗**一直在**发射导弹**，这似乎有些矛盾。

许多人期待**特朗普总统**能够**缓和局势**。这似乎是大多数人的预期，就像在“**解放日**”发生的那样。周五市场收盘后，特朗普在**Truth Social**上发帖，暗示他正在考虑**结束战争**。盘后交易中，市场将此解读为某种**利好信号**，并**积极交易**。

然而，我建议**保持谨慎**。因为正如我们所知，特朗普说过很多话，但**很多事情并未兑现**。就在一周前，他还告诉大家战争“**非常完整**”（very complete），但此后战争**确实升级了**。

上周最大的**升级**，无疑与**能源生产设施**的**袭击**有关。目前**霍尔木兹海峡**基本**保持关闭**，能源运输受阻。海湾国家的**产能**在**上周**之前并未受到影响。但上周，**伊朗导弹袭击了卡塔尔的主要天然气田**。**卡塔尔**是**世界主要天然气生产国之一**。据报道，这次袭击**摧毁了其产能**，他们可能**需要数年时间**才能恢复到**原有产能水平**。这意味着全球**天然气生产能力**出现了**结构性下降**。即使**霍尔木兹海峡**重新开放，**流出的天然气也会减少**。这将导致**价格结构性上涨**，并**抑制经济增长**，减少**投入**和**产出**。

伊朗的这次袭击是对**以色列**袭击**伊朗天然气田**的回应。伊朗曾警告，如果其能源设施被攻击，他们将**升级**并**袭击邻近海湾设施**。他们的警告**得到了兑现**。

**特朗普总统**似乎**感到恐慌**，并立即表示“**这不会再发生了**”。所以，我们确实存在一定程度的**相互确保摧毁**（mutually assured destruction）。但是，只要**霍尔木兹海峡**保持关闭，这就**不是一个解决方案**，**油价将继续上涨**。

虽然总统表示他正在考虑**结束战争**，但同时也有报道称他正在**派遣海军陆战队**。看起来海军陆战队正在部署，一到两周内，可能有**数千名海军陆战队员**抵达**伊朗附近**，作为**占领卡尔岛（Kar Island）**的选项。一些报道暗示，总统认为如果他能成功**夺取卡尔岛**——他认为这是**伊朗石油基础设施的重要组成部分**（尽管一些石油分析师对此持不同意见）——也许他就能获得**更大的谈判筹码**，要求**更好的交易**。这似乎是他**思考问题的角度**。

因此，从这个意义上说，他可能**说对**了，战争**正在走向结束**。如果他能在自己心中**成功夺取卡尔岛**，并**要求达成解决方案**，那么是的，战争**可能**就**快结束了**。

然而，从**以色列**的角度来看，似乎**他们并不想结束**。**内塔尼亚胡总理**曾公开表示，可能需要**地面行动**。地面行动可能包含多种形式：可能是**伊朗人民起义**，可能是**海军陆战队登陆**等等。但当他的**任务**——**控制铀**或**摧毁伊朗的导弹能力**——**尚未真正完成**时，他似乎**不太可能**就此**罢手**。因此，在我看来，现在**还不是他收手的时候**。

So
 that's
 how
 a
 central
 bank
 would


normally
 look
 at
 this.
 And
 again
 there's


some
 there's
 some
 nuance
 to
 this
 because


for
 the
 US
 for
 example
 the
 Fed
 is
 a


dualmandate
 central
 bank.
 It's
 full


employment
 and
 price
 stability.
 they


can't
 really
 focus
 totally
 on
 inflation


to
 begin
 with.
 For
 other
 central
 banks,


Bank
 of
 England,
 the
 ECB,
 it's
 a


different
 case.
 They
 are
 only
 thinking


about
 inflation.
 And
 sure,
 I
 think
 you


can
 more
 make
 a
 make
 a
 more
 forceful


case
 about
 uh
 adjusting
 policy
 depending


on
 how
 you
 perceive
 the
 energy
 shock.


Now,
 the
 leading
 uh
 dove
 on
 the
 FOMC
 has


been
 Governor
 Waller.
 He's
 has
 a
 very


good
 track
 record.
 he's
 been
 right
 about


a
 lot
 of
 things
 during
 the
 past
 few


years
 and
 so
 many
 people
 look
 to
 him
 as


to
 u
 what
 monetary
 policy
 could
 be.
 So
 I


think
 it
 surprised
 me
 and
 a
 lot
 of


people
 that
 he
 did
 not
 desent
 at
 the


last
 FOMC
 meeting.
 The
 reason
 being
 that


in
 January
 he
 desented
 citing
 notable


weakness
 in
 the
 labor
 market,
 anecdotal


reports
 that
 maybe
 we'll
 have
 a
 lot
 of


job
 loss
 and
 subsequently
 the
 most


recent
 jobs
 report
 showed
 a
 big
 loss
 in


jobs.
 So
 I
 was
 thinking
 that
 maybe


Governor
 Waller
 would
 descend.
 He
 did


not.
 And
 in
 his
 latest
 public
 remarks,


he
 tells
 you
 why.
 He
 is
 coming
 along
 to


the
 view
 that
 because
 labor
 force


projection
 is
 projected
 to
 not
 grow
 this


year
 that
 maybe
 the
 break
 even
 rate
 for


for
 the
 unemployment
 rate
 be
 is
 zero.


And
 so


if
 that's
 the
 case,
 we
 should
 not
 be


surprised
 if
 there's
 basically
 no
 job


growth.
 Of
 course,
 losing
 jobs
 is
 a


whole
 another
 matter,
 but
 that
 kind
 of


makes
 the
 recent
 job
 losses
 a
 little
 bit


less
 concerning.
 So
 again,
 that's


hawkish.
 And
 let's
 hear
 what
 he
 said


about
 the
 energy
 shock.


>> I
 always
 want
 to
 point
 out
 that


something
 where
 the
 oil
 goes
 up
 and
 then


it
 comes
 down
 is
 very
 different
 than
 oil


goes
 up
 and
 then
 stays
 there
 for
 a
 long


time.
 That's
 where
 you
 get
 back
 to
 this


issue
 where
 it
 bleeds
 through
 back
 into


core
 inflation
 and
 then
 you
 do
 have
 to


kind
 of
 respond.
 You
 can't
 just
 look


through
 it.


So,
 what
 he's
 saying
 is
 that
 sure,
 we


can
 look
 past
 these
 temporary
 spikes,


but
 if
 this
 is
 a
 structural
 long-term


thing,
 like
 the
 energy
 prices
 go
 up
 and


just
 stay
 up,
 it's
 eventually
 going
 to


bleed
 into
 everything,
 and
 he
 doesn't


think
 that
 he
 could
 look
 through
 that.


Now,
 that
 doesn't
 mean
 the
 Fed
 is
 going


to
 hike.
 Again,
 that
 full
 employment


mandate
 is
 going
 to
 be
 a
 constraint,
 but


he
 is
 strongly
 suggesting,
 but
 at
 least


for
 now,
 he's
 not
 projecting
 any
 cuts.


Although
 he
 did
 also
 note
 that
 should


the
 labor
 market,
 you
 know,
 weaken


further
 and
 then
 later
 on
 we
 have
 more


clarity,
 he
 could
 be
 open
 to
 be


advocating
 rate
 cuts
 later
 in
 the
 year.


But
 at
 the
 moment,
 uh
 that's
 uh
 that


he's
 uh
 going
 to
 just
 watch
 and
 see.
 And


so
 when
 you
 have
 a
 leading
 dove
 kind
 of


shift
 like
 that,
 the
 market
 is
 now


pricing
 in
 a
 much
 more
 hogish
 policy


path.
 And
 again,
 when
 you
 have
 this
 huge


shift,
 huge
 sea
 change
 in
 the
 stance
 of


central
 bank
 policy,
 it's
 going
 to
 bleed


into
 a
 ton
 of
 assets.
 And
 we
 see
 that
 uh


this
 this
 past
 week
 as
 well.
 The
 S&P
 500


did
 not
 do
 very
 well.
 Broke
 the
 100
 day


moving
 average
 and
 even
 dipped
 briefly


below
 6,500.


Now,
 you
 other
 assets
 like
 gold
 also


took
 a
 pretty
 big
 beating.
 Again,
 I


think
 gold
 is
 kind
 of a
 I
 think
 it's
 a


little
 bit
 surprising
 to
 many
 people.


You'd
 expect
 that
 geopolitical
 risk
 to


support
 gold,
 but
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 the


dollar
 is
 strengthening,
 rates
 are
 going


higher,
 and
 you
 do
 see
 gold
 losing
 some


key
 momentum
 signals.
 The
 50-day
 moving


average,
 for
 example,
 and
 historically,


the
 100
 day
 moving
 average
 has
 also
 been


of
 support.
 Looks
 like
 it
 lost
 that
 as


well.
 So,
 you
 could
 have
 some
 technical


moves
 over
 there.
 So,
 there
 was


basically
 no
 place
 to
 hide
 in
 the
 market


the
 past
 week.
 Bonds
 selling
 off,
 uh,


equity
 selling
 off,
 gold
 selling
 off.
 It


was
 it
 was
 a
 terrible
 week
 in
 financial


assets


and
 looking
 across
 the
 world
 it
 looks


like
 this
 is
 going
 to
 continue
 unless
 we


get
 some
 finally
 get
 some
 good
 news
 from


the
 war
 in
 the
 Middle
 East
 uh
 which
 is


what
 we'll
 talk
 about
 now.
 So
 just


looking
 at
 the
 oil
 price
 you
 can
 see


that
 the
 oil
 price
 just
 kind
 of
 is
 is


quite
 elevated.
 So,
 it
 is
 volatile
 with


Brent
 crude
 around
 $110,
 but
 basically


it's
 uh
 it's
 kind
 of
 doesn't
 look
 like


it's
 it's
 going
 down
 now.
 It's
 really


hard
 to
 get
 news,
 accurate
 news
 of
 the


war.
 We
 are
 of
 course
 at
 a
 time
 where


everyone
 is
 in
 full
 propaganda
 mode.
 Uh


you
 hear
 over
 and
 over
 again
 that
 the
 US


has
 destroyed
 all
 Iran's
 capabilities,


its
 navies,
 it
 launches,
 its
 missiles


and
 so
 forth.
 But
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 Iran


keeps
 launching
 missiles,
 right?
 So


something's
 not
 adding
 up.


Now,
 many
 people
 of
 course
 are
 looking


to
 President
 Trump
 to
 kind
 of
 back
 down.


That's
 what
 everyone
 is
 expects
 him
 to


do.
 That's
 seems
 to
 be
 what
 happened
 in


um
 liberation
 day.
 And
 on
 Friday
 after


the
 market
 closed,
 we
 had
 a
 truth
 social


post
 from
 President
 Trump
 suggesting


that
 he's
 thinking
 about
 winding
 down


the
 war.
 and
 aftermarket
 the
 markets


took
 that
 to
 be
 some
 kind
 of
 taco
 and


and
 traded
 very
 positively.


Now
 I
 would
 be
 cautious
 about
 that


because
 as
 we
 all
 know
 Trump
 has
 been


saying
 a
 lot
 of
 things
 and
 a
 lot
 of


things
 haven't
 been
 adding
 up.
 I
 think


this
 just
 a
 week
 ago
 he
 was
 telling


everyone
 that
 the
 war
 was
 very
 complete


uh
 but
 uh
 but
 since
 then
 the
 war
 did


escalate.
 The
 biggest
 escalation
 last


week
 of
 course
 has
 to
 do
 with
 attacks
 on


energy
 production
 facilities.
 Now
 the


straight
 of
 harmon
 remains
 largely


closed
 and
 so
 energy
 is
 not
 going


through
 but
 the
 capacity
 of
 of
 the
 Gulf


states
 to
 produce
 hasn't
 been
 impacted


until
 last
 week,
 when
 we
 had
 an
 Iranian


missile
 attack
 on
 major
 Qatari
 gas


fields.
 Now
 Qatar
 is
 one
 of
 the
 largest


gas
 producers
 in
 the
 world,
 and
 according


to
 reports,
 that
 attack
 took
 down
 their


capacity
 and
 they
 may
 not
 be
 able
 to


produce
 gas
 at
 the
 same
 capacity
 for


another
 few
 years.
 So
 that's
 a


structural
 decline
 in
 the
 capacity
 of


the
 world
 to
 produce
 gas.
 So
 even
 if
 the


straight
 of
 Hammoose
 were
 to
 reopen,


fewer
 gas
 would
 flow
 through.
 That


suggests
 structurally
 higher
 prices
 and


of
 course
 less
 economic
 growth,
 fewer


inputs,
 fewer
 outputs.


Now
 the
 strike
 by
 Iran
 was
 in
 response


to
 Israel
 strike
 on
 Iranian
 gas
 fields.


Now
 Iran
 had
 told
 everyone
 that
 if
 you


strike
 our
 energy
 facilities,
 we
 will


escalate
 and
 we
 will
 attack
 neighboring


Gulf
 facilities.
 they
 were
 attacked
 and


that's
 exactly
 what
 they
 did
 and


President
 Trump
 seems
 to
 have
 panicly


panicked
 in
 a
 sense,
 and
 immediately
 said


that
 you
 know
 this
 is
 not
 going
 to


happen
 anymore.
 So
 we
 do
 have
 some


degree
 of
 dant
 mutually
 excured


destruction
 over
 there.


Um
 but
 as
 long
 as
 the
 street
 of
 Hermoose


remains
 closed,
 it
 does
 it
 seems
 like


this
 is
 just
 not
 a
 solution
 and
 oil


prices
 will
 continue
 to
 drift
 higher.


Now,
 although
 the
 president
 said
 that


he's
 thinking
 about
 winding
 down


the
 war,
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 we
 also
 have


reports
 that
 he's
 sending
 in
 the


Marines.
 So,
 it
 looks
 like
 Marines
 are


being
 deployed
 and
 in
 a
 week
 or
 two,


there's
 going
 to
 be
 a
 few
 thousand


Marines
 uh
 in
 in
 around
 Iran
 potentially


as
 an
 option
 to
 take
 Kar
 Island.
 Now,


there's
 some
 reports
 suggesting
 that
 the


president
 thinks
 that
 if
 he
 were
 to
 take


Car
 Island,
 which
 he
 perceives
 to
 be
 a


major
 part
 of
 Iranian
 oil


infrastructure,
 and
 there
 are
 oil


analysts
 who
 disagree
 with
 this,
 maybe


it
 will
 have
 more
 negotiating
 leverage


to
 try
 to
 demand
 a
 better
 deal.
 That


seems
 to
 be
 how
 he's
 thinking
 about
 it.


So,
 uh,
 in
 that
 sense,
 maybe
 he's
 right


in
 saying
 that
 the
 war
 is
 winding
 down.


If
 in
 his
 in
 his
 mind
 he
 is
 able
 to


successfully
 take
 Car
 Island
 and
 then


demand
 a
 resolution
 then
 yeah,
 maybe
 the


war
 is
 is
 almost
 over.
 Again,
 there
 are


three
 people
 at
 this
 table
 from
 from


Israel's
 perspective


doesn't
 seem
 like
 they
 they
 want
 to
 wind


down.
 I
 mean,
 Prime
 Minister
 Netanyahu
 is


on
 the
 record
 saying
 that
 you
 know,
 maybe


there
 might
 be
 a
 ground
 component
 that


might
 need
 and
 the
 ground
 component


could
 be
 many
 things.
 It
 could
 be
 the


Iranian
 people
 rising
 up.
 It
 could
 be


Marines
 on
 the
 ground
 and
 so
 forth,
 but


it
 seems
 unlikely
 that
 he
 would
 just


call
 it
 quits
 when
 from
 this
 perspective


hasn't
 really
 completed
 the
 mission,


right?
 Hasn't
 really
 taken
 hold
 of
 the


uranium
 or
 destroyed
 the
 Iran's
 missile


capabilities
 and
 so
 forth.
 So,
 it


doesn't
 seem
 to
 to
 me
 that
 it's
 time
 for


him
 to
 quit.
 Now,
 from
 Iran's


perspective,
 we're
 getting
 kind
 of
 an


interesting
 picture
 of
 how
 the
 world
 war


could
 end.
 Now
 this
 morning
 we
 have
 news


that
 Iran
 and
 Japan
 are
 negotiating
 for


passage
 through
 the
 straight
 of
 Harmuz.


We
 also
 have
 anecdotal
 reports
 that
 some


countries
 are
 paying
 a
 toll
 to
 Iran
 for


passage
 through
 uh
 the
 strait.
 So
 what


could
 happen
 for
 them
 as
 a
 potential


endgame
 is
 that
 they
 retain
 control
 of


the
 straight
 of
 Humuz
 and
 everyone
 can


pass
 but
 in
 order
 to
 pass,
 you
 got
 to
 pay


up.
 Now
 there
 are
 reports
 suggesting


that
 the
 payment
 is
 actually
 settled
 in


R&B,
 so
 it
 would
 be
 held
 in
 the
 bank
 in


China
 safe
 from
 US
 sanctions.
 If
 that


were
 the
 case,
 if
 Iran
 were
 to
 be
 able
 to


retain
 control
 of
 the
 trade
 of
 a
 moves


so
 it's
 better
 scenario
 for
 the
 global


economy
 than
 it
 is
 now,
 because
 oil
 and


gas
 will
 be
 flowing,
 gas
 and
 oil
 prices


will
 come
 down.
 um,
 that
 is
 great
 for
 for


the
 global
 economy
 and
 great
 for
 many


people
 who
 otherwise
 I
 think
 we
 would


have
 severe
 threat
 of
 actually


starvation
 in
 poor
 countries.
 Um,
 but
 at


the
 end
 of
 the
 day,
 oil
 and
 gas
 prices


will
 be
 structurally
 higher
 to
 account


for
 that
 toll
 and
 Iran
 will
 be
 making


money.
 Iran
 has
 been
 sanctioned
 heavily


uh
 throughout
 by
 basically
 everyone


except
 China
 and
 then
 Iran's
 friends.


Um,
 so
 it
 will
 be
 able
 to
 get
 some
 more


income
 and
 that
 will
 help
 him


economically
 and
 maybe
 they
 can
 paint


this
 as
 reparations
 for
 the
 damage
 done


and
 be
 willing
 to
 to
 settle
 that.


However,
 of
 course,
 it
 seems
 unlikely


that
 the
 United
 States
 and
 um,
 everyone


else
 well
 and
 Israel
 would
 accept
 an


Iran
 not
 just
 intact,
 but
 also
 collecting


toll,
 making
 money.


Now,
 Treasury
 Secretary
 Scott
 Besson
 on


Friday
 actually
 uh
 lifted
 sanctions
 on


Iranian
 oil
 that
 is
 at
 sea
 and
 allowed


Iran
 to
 sell
 that.
 That
 hasn't
 happened


for
 a
 very
 long
 time.
 And
 so,
 so
 far
 at


least,
 uh,
 seems
 like
 Iran
 has
 been
 able


to
 make
 money
 off
 this
 conflict.
 Again,


we
 are
 in
 the
 fog
 of
 war.
 No
 one
 knows


what's
 going
 to
 happen.
 Uh,
 but
 that's


just
 a
 possible
 way
 that
 this
 war
 can


end
 in
 the
 coming
 weeks.
 Again,
 every


day
 that
 this
 conflict
 goes
 on,
 that's


energy
 that's
 not
 being
 uh,
 not
 being


produced,
 not
 being
 sent.
 And
 that


raises
 the
 risk
 of
 a
 global
 recession.
 I


personally
 think
 that
 the
 global
 economy


has
 already
 been
 nuked.
 We
 are
 all
 just


bathing
 in
 radiation.
 And
 as
 radiation


sickness
 goes,
 first
 you
 feel
 fine,
 then


you
 don't
 feel
 fine,
 and
 then
 you
 die.


So,
 I
 think
 things
 are
 are
 not
 good.
 And


I
 wouldn't
 look
 solely
 to
 the
 stock


market
 as
 a
 barometer
 because
 again


markets
 the
 stock
 market
 and
 the
 real


economy
 uh,
 they
 are
 related,
 but
 they're


not
 the
 same
 thing.
 All
 right,
 so
 that's


how
 I
 prepare
 for
 today.
 Thanks
 so
 much


for
 tuning
 in,
 and
 I
 think
 next
 week
 will


be
 also
 very
 exciting.

### 潜在的战争结局与经济展望

从**伊朗**的角度来看，我们看到了**世界战争**可能如何结束的一个**有趣画面**。本周**早些时候**，有消息称**伊朗**和**日本**正在就**通过霍尔木兹海峡的航行权**进行谈判。我们还收到一些**传闻**，称一些国家正**向伊朗支付费用**，以通过该海峡。

因此，对他们来说，一个**潜在的结局**可能是：他们**保留了对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权**，**允许所有船只通过**，但**前提是必须付费**。有报道称，这种支付可能**实际上以人民币结算**，并存放在**中国的银行**，从而**规避美国的制裁**。

如果真是如此，如果伊朗能够**保有对海峡贸易的控制权**，那么这对**全球经济**来说将是**比现在更好的局面**，因为**石油和天然气将继续流通**，**价格也会随之下降**。这对全球经济是**利好**，也对那些否则可能面临**严重饥饿威胁**的**贫穷国家**的人们是**好事**。

然而，从长远来看，**石油和天然气价格**将**结构性地走高**，以**弥补**这笔**通行费**，而**伊朗**将从中**获利**。伊朗长期以来一直受到**几乎所有国家**（除中国及部分友好国家外）的**严厉制裁**。因此，如果伊朗能够获得**更多收入**，这将在**经济上帮助它**，也许他们可以将其**宣传为**对其所受**损害的赔偿**，并愿意就此**达成和解**。

当然，**美国**和**以色列**不太可能接受一个**完整**且**还在收取通行费、赚钱**的**伊朗**。

周五，**美国财政部长 Scott Besson**确实**解除了对海上伊朗石油的制裁**，允许伊朗出售这些石油。这已经**很久没有发生过了**。所以，至少到目前为止，伊朗似乎**能够**从这场冲突中**获利**。

再次强调，我们正处于**战争的迷雾**之中。**没人知道**接下来会发生什么。但这只是这场战争**未来几周可能结束**的一种**可能方式**。

同样，**每一次冲突的持续**，都意味着**更多能源**未能**被生产**或**被输送**。这**增加了全球经济衰退的风险**。我个人认为，**全球经济**已经**被摧毁**了（nuked）。我们都只是在**辐射中沐浴**。而**辐射病**的过程是：**起初感觉良好，然后感觉不好，最后死亡**。所以，我认为情况**并不乐观**。

而且，**不要仅仅**将**股市**视为**晴雨表**。因为**股市**和**实体经济**是**相关**的，但**并非同一回事**。

好了，这就是我今天准备的内容。非常感谢大家的收听，我相信**下周**也会非常**精彩**。

Now,
 although
 the
 president
 said
 that


he's
 thinking
 about
 winding
 down


the
 war,
 at
 the
 same
 time,
 we
 also
 have


reports
 that
 he's
 sending
 in
 the


Marines.
 So,
 it
 looks
 like
 Marines
 are


being
 deployed,
 and
 in
 a
 week
 or
 two,


there's
 going
 to
 be
 a
 few
 thousand


Marines
 uh
 in
 in
 around
 Iran
 potentially


as
 an
 option
 to
 take
 Kar
 Island.
 Now,


there's
 some
 reports
 suggesting
 that
 the


president
 thinks
 that
 if
 he
 were
 to
 take


Car
 Island,
 which
 he
 perceives
 to
 be
