### 地缘政治动荡与经济连锁反应

本周市场经历了一场全面的动荡，其中地缘政治事件扮演了关键角色。从中东冲突的升级，如美国总统威胁对伊朗采取行动，到副总统 JD Vance 在巴基斯坦主导的和平谈判，局势瞬息万变。这些地缘政治的紧张局势直接渗透到美国经济数据中，最显著的影响体现在 **石油价格** 的飙升。过去几周，油价多次突破每桶100美元大关，这直接推高了汽油、航空燃油和柴油等价格。

在此背景下，上个月的 **通货膨胀** 数据（CPI）显示出强劲势头，环比数据受高企的能源价格影响而大幅上涨。然而，剔除能源成本的核心 CPI 数据表现相对温和，年同比仅为2.6%。展望未来，工资增长的放缓以及疲软的租赁市场导致的住房通胀（disinflation）趋势，预示着核心 CPI 有望进一步温和回落。

关键在于，美国 **联邦储备委员会（Fed）** 关注的是 **个人消费支出（PCE）价格指数**，而非 CPI。PCE 数据呈现出不同的叙事：尽管历史上 CPI 通常高于 PCE，但近期 PCE 已反超 CPI。根据克利夫兰联储的预测，核心 PCE 指数预计将达到约3%。这一水平对美联储而言，要忽视其潜在的通胀压力是困难的，相比之下，若核心 PCE 维持在“两位数”（two-handle）区间，美联储可能更为从容。因此，尽管美联储的最新点阵图曾暗示年内可能降息一次，但当前市场并未消化任何降息预期。上周公布的美联储会议纪要显示了政策制定者内部的分歧：多数成员倾向于在能源价格飙升导致经济疲软和失业率上升的背景下降息，但仍有一部分人对通胀表示担忧，甚至主张加息。发言者认为，后者（主张加息者）主要是指那些在联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）中影响力有限的新任地区联储主席。

Hello
 my
 friends.
 Today
 is
 April
 11th


and
 this
 is
 Markets
 Weekly.
 All right,


so
 last
 week
 was
 a
 complete
 whirlwind
 in


markets.
 On
 one
 day
 you
 had
 the


president
 of
 the
 United
 States


threatening
 civilizational
 destruction


of
 the
 Iranian
 people
 and
 today
 you
 have


Vice
 President
 JD
 Vance
 leading
 peace


talk
 negotiations
 in
 Pakistan
 on
 behalf


of
 the
 US.
 So
 a
 lot
 has
 happened
 today.


Let's
 talk
 about
 two
 things.
 First
 off,


let's
 talk
 about
 how
 the
 war
 in
 the


Middle
 East
 is
 filtering
 into
 US


economic
 data.
 And
 secondly,
 let's
 talk


about
 how
 the
 peace
 locks
 could


potentially
 unfold.
 All right,
 starting


with
 the
 data.
 So,
 as
 we
 all
 know,
 when


there's
 war
 in
 the
 Middle
 East,
 it
 most


concretely
 impacts
 the
 US
 through
 higher


oil
 prices.
 Now,
 over
 the
 past
 few


weeks,
 oil
 has
 often
 been
 trading
 above


$100,
 and
 that's
 led
 to
 higher
 gasoline,


higher
 um
 jet
 fuel,
 higher
 diesel


prices,
 and
 so
 forth.
 So
 inflation
 data,


CPI
 data
 last
 month
 was
 hot.
 On
 a


month-over-month
 basis,
 CPI
 data
 surged


largely
 due
 to
 high
 energy
 prices.


However,
 if
 you
 look
 at
 core
 CPI,
 which


excludes
 energy
 prices,
 you
 can
 see
 that


it
 printed
 at
 a
 pretty
 tame
 2.6%


year-over-year.


Now
 looking
 ahead,
 we
 have
 wages
 that


continue
 to
 decelerate
 and
 a
 weak
 rental


market
 leading
 to
 shelter
 inflation,


disinflation,
 and
 so
 there's
 a
 lot
 of
 uh


tailwinds
 that
 suggest
 a
 more
 moderate


uh
 core
 CPI
 going
 forward.


But
 as
 always,
 why
 do
 we
 care
 about


this?
 Well,
 we
 don't
 really
 care
 about


this.
 We
 care
 about
 uh
 PCE
 because


that's
 what
 the
 Fed
 cares
 about.
 And
 the


Fed,
 of
 course,
 has
 tremendous
 impact
 on


financial
 markets.
 Now
 the
 Fed
 does
 not


look
 at
 CPI.
 It
 looks
 at
 PCE
 and
 PCE
 is


honestly
 telling
 a
 different
 story.
 Now


historically
 speaking
 CPI
 is
 higher
 than


PCE.
 But
 more
 recently
 you
 have
 a
 very


interesting
 relationship
 where
 actually


PCE
 has
 been
 printing
 higher
 than
 CPI.


Now
 PCE
 according
 to
 the
 Cleveland
 Fed


is
 expected
 to
 be
 about
 3%
 at
 PC
 core.


Now
 3%
 now
 that
 that's
 really
 high.
 If


it
 was
 a
 two-handle,
 maybe
 the
 Fed
 could


kind
 of
 shrug
 their
 shoulders.
 But
 a
 3%


P
 core
 PC
 is
 difficult
 to
 ignore.
 So
 the


market
 at
 the
 moment
 is
 not
 pricing
 in


any
 rate
 cuts
 this
 year.
 Even
 though
 at


the
 most
 recent
 Fed
 meeting,
 the
 Fed's


dot
 plot
 did
 guide
 towards
 one
 cut.
 Now,


we
 got
 the
 Fed
 minutes
 last
 week
 and


it's
 showing
 something
 that
 we
 kind
 of


see
 playing
 out
 in
 real
 time.
 So
 most


people
 at
 the
 Fed
 would
 actually
 be


cutting
 rates
 uh
 in
 in
 the
 face
 of
 an


energy
 price
 spike.
 The
 reason
 being


that
 as
 gasoline
 prices
 spike,
 consumers


will
 spend
 more
 of
 their
 money
 at
 the


pump,
 less
 buying
 other
 things.
 So


that's
 economic
 weakness
 that
 puts


upward
 pressure
 on
 the
 unemployment


rates.
 The
 modern
 Fed
 has
 always


prioritized
 employment
 over
 inflation.


That
 being
 said,
 there
 is
 a
 sizable


minority
 of
 people
 at
 the
 Fed
 who
 are


concerned
 about
 inflation
 and
 would
 even


be
 hiking
 rates.
 Guys,
 that's
 not
 going


to
 happen.
 And
 we
 all
 know
 who
 these


people
 are.
 They
 are
 the
 newer
 Fed


presidents
 who
 are
 not
 influential
 on


the
 FOMC.

### 政治格局演变与全球秩序重塑

中东战争的阴影同样投射在 **消费者信心** 上，该指标已跌至数十年来的低点。消费者感到不安，可能源于对人工智能（AI）取代工作的担忧、持续的地区冲突，或是高昂的汽油价格。这种普遍的不安情绪预示着经济前景的疲软，可能导致消费减少，并在未来几个月内加剧经济放缓。

与此同时，这些挑战也影响了现任政府的 **政治前景**。市场指标显示，即将到来的中期选举中，**民主党** 有望实现“横扫”（sweep）。如果民主党同时掌控国会两院，预计将引发一场接连不断的调查，甚至可能导致部分官员面临牢狱之灾。值得注意的是，总统已承诺将赦免其幕僚。

虽然美国经济数据已显现出战争造成的损害，但其影响在海外将更为显著。在 **欧洲**，航空公司据称仅剩数周的航空燃油储备，一旦耗尽，可能被迫取消大量航班并大幅提高票价，对依赖旅游业的经济体造成毁灭性打击。在 **爱尔兰**，价格飙升已引发公众抗议，部分加油站甚至出现燃油短缺。这些经济冲击虽然来势渐缓，但无疑正在逼近，并可能令许多市场参与者感到意外，这也解释了为何局势如此迫切地需要冲突尽快结束。这种紧迫感自然引出了我们讨论的第二个核心议题。

Now,
 the
 war
 in
 the
 Middle
 East
 is
 also


feeding
 into
 consumer
 sentiment.


Consumer
 sentiment
 has
 dropped
 to


multi-deade
 lows.
 The
 consumer
 is
 not


feeling
 good.
 Maybe
 they're
 looking
 at


AI
 replacing
 their
 jobs,
 making
 they're


looking
 at
 the
 war
 of
 the
 Middle
 East,


maybe
 looking
 at
 high
 gasoline
 prices.


In
 any
 case,
 the
 consumer
 is
 not
 feeling


good.
 that
 suggests
 weaker
 uh
 confidence


in
 the
 economy,
 maybe
 less
 consumption


and
 suggest
 uh
 potentially
 economic


weakness
 in
 the
 months
 ahead.
 This
 is


always
 this
 is
 also
 of
 course
 impacting


the
 political
 prospects
 of
 the
 Trump


administration.
 Poly
 market
 is
 now


suggesting
 there's
 a
 better
 than
 even


chance
 that
 we
 could
 have
 a
 democratic


sweep
 at
 the
 midterm
 elections.
 That


would
 be
 very
 bad
 for
 the
 president


because
 if
 the
 Democrats
 control
 both


houses
 of
 Congress,
 you're
 going
 to
 have


non-stop
 neg
 non-stop
 investigations
 and


maybe
 some
 people
 will
 go
 to
 prison.
 Uh


the
 president
 has
 already
 promised
 his


staff
 that
 he's
 going
 to
 pardon
 all
 of


them.
 So
 we'll
 see
 see
 what
 happens


then.
 Now
 the
 economic
 damage
 is
 visible


in
 the
 in
 the
 US
 economic
 data,
 but
 of


course
 it's
 going
 to
 be
 much
 more


pronounced
 abroad.
 The
 US
 of
 course
 is


ultimately
 also
 a
 large
 producer
 of
 oil.


So,
 what
 we
 see
 abroad
 is
 that
 in


Europe,
 uh,
 the
 airlines
 are
 just
 weeks


away
 from
 running
 out
 of
 jet
 fuel,
 and


if
 that
 were
 to
 happen,
 they're
 going
 to


have
 to
 cancel
 flights,
 monstrously


raise
 prices.
 It's
 going
 to
 have
 a
 very


bad
 impact
 on
 some
 of
 the
 more
 tourist


driven
 economies.
 In
 Ireland,
 you


already
 have
 protests
 where
 many
 people


are
 very
 unhappy
 about
 the
 surges
 in


prices
 and
 it
 seems
 like
 some
 stations


are
 even
 dry.
 So
 this
 um
 the
 economic


impacts
 of
 the
 straight
 off
 closing
 it


is
 coming.
 It's
 slow
 but
 it
 is
 it
 is


definitely
 coming
 and
 I
 think
 when
 it


comes
 it's
 going
 to
 surprise
 a
 lot
 of


people
 in
 the
 market
 which
 is
 part
 of


the
 reason
 why
 there's
 such
 urgency
 for


this
 conflict
 to
 end
 which
 leads
 us
 to


our
 second
 topic.

### 和谈进展与历史博弈

关于和平谈判的进展，有报道指出，中东冲突的爆发令 **特朗普政府** 感到意外，他们原以为会像对待委内瑞拉那样，迅速通过军事行动解决问题。然而，他们严重误判了 **伊朗** 的反应及其关闭 **霍尔木兹海峡（Strait of Hormuz）** 的能力，导致美国陷入了一场“泥潭”。发言者认为，这并非“3D国际象棋”，而是“重要人物在犯蠢”，并指出此次谈判很大程度上是出于美国急于摆脱困境的考量，甚至可能是在 **巴基斯坦** 总理的协助下，由美国幕后协调的。

尽管如此，鉴于各方缺乏 **善意（good faith）**，这些谈判注定异常艰难。回顾历史，**伊朗** 与 **奥巴马政府** 曾达成 **JCPOA**（伊朗核协议），伊朗承诺接受严格的核查，以换取部分制裁的缓解。然而，**特朗普政府** 单方面撕毁了协议。此后，去年6月，在伊朗与美国进行谈判之际，伊朗遭到了 **以色列** 的袭击（获得美国支持）。今年2月，当另一艘航空母舰到位后，美国再次对伊朗发动了攻击。因此，发言者认为，伊朗与美国及以色列之间的谈判一直“虚假”，其目的只是为美以两国争取重新武装的时间。时至今日，尽管谈判在巴基斯坦进行，但仍有报道称更多军事资产正被调往中东，包括一艘正在途中加入的第三艘航空母舰。

从 **美国的角度** 来看，这场战争并不受欢迎，消耗了总统巨大的政治资本，甚至导致其部分昔日支持者（如MAGA阵营的评论员）开始疏远。美国渴望脱身，但又不愿看到伊朗在控制霍尔木兹海峡方面“获胜”，因为这将是美国战略上的一个明确失败。对于 **以色列** 而言，战争在国内颇受欢迎，这契合了总理 **本杰明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）** 摧毁伊朗的长期政治目标，尤其是在今年以色列面临大选的背景下，这将是一个重大的政治胜利。而 **伊朗** 则通过其“10点谈判计划”明确了诉求：首先，要求停止美国和以色列的袭击，并寻求安全保障——尽管美国总统特朗普或许能做出承诺，但其能否约束以色列仍是未知数。其次，伊朗希望保留对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权，该海峡现已赋予其全球20%石油供应的控制权，他们希望维持这一新获得的强大影响力。若局势维持现状，伊朗将能收取高额过路费，甚至可能在数月内成功进行核试验，成为拥有霍尔木兹海峡控制权的地区核强国。尽管伊朗在领导层和工业能力上遭受损失，但美国和以色列似乎没有简单有效的军事途径来重新夺回霍尔木兹海峡的控制权。关于核攻击的讨论中，存在关于其可行性和潜在后果（如核泄漏）的专家辩论。

Now,
 by
 all
 accounts,
 a
 lot
 of
 reporting


on
 this,
 uh,
 this
 conflict
 in
 the
 Middle


East
 surprised
 the
 Trump
 administration.


They
 thought
 they
 would
 just
 bomb
 Iran


and
 then
 it
 would
 be
 over.
 Similar
 to


like
 Venezuela,
 they
 were
 caught
 off


guard,
 gravely,
 gravely
 miscalculated


that
 Iran
 would
 close
 straight
 off


Hamoose
 and
 accidentally
 got
 stuck
 in


this
 quagmire.
 Guys,
 there
 is
 no
 3D


chess
 here.
 It's
 just
 the
 same
 old


thing.
 Important
 people
 doing
 stupid


things.
 Happens
 all
 the
 time.


So
 these
 negotiations
 seem
 by
 much


reporting
 suggests
 are
 largely
 on
 the


behest
 of
 the
 US
 which
 is
 eager
 to
 get


out
 of
 this
 quagmire.
 Now
 there's
 a
 very


this
 very
 interesting
 post
 uh
 from
 the


prime
 minister
 of
 Pakistan
 on
 X
 that


reporter
 Ryan
 Grimcott.
 You
 can
 see
 that


this
 is
 a
 post
 where
 the
 prime
 minister


of
 Pakistan
 is
 talking
 about
 peace


negotiations.
 But
 the
 first
 post
 that
 he


gave
 actually
 had
 draft
 at
 the
 top
 and


then
 uh
 post
 from
 prime
 minister
 of


Pakistan.
 Very
 clearly
 this
 was
 given
 to


him
 probably
 by
 the
 US.
 So
 the
 US
 is


behind
 the
 scenes
 choreographing
 with


Pakistan
 prime
 minister
 telling
 him
 what


to
 say
 so
 that
 we
 can
 get
 these
 uh
 peace


talk
 negotiations
 going.
 Now
 be
 clear
 to


let's
 be
 clear
 these
 are
 going
 to
 be


very
 difficult
 negotiations
 because


there's
 not
 a
 lot
 of
 good
 faith
 among


the
 parties.
 Now,
 Iran
 had
 an
 had
 an


agreement
 with
 the
 Obama
 administration


called
 the
 JCPOA
 where
 Iran
 would
 agree


to
 rigorous
 monitoring
 of
 its
 uranium


program
 in
 exchange
 receive
 some
 degree


of
 relief
 in
 sanctions.
 Now,
 by
 all


accounts,
 Iran
 faithfully
 carried
 out


its
 duties
 under
 the
 JCPOA,
 but
 the


Trump
 administration
 unilaterally
 tore


that
 agreement
 apart.


Then
 last
 June
 when
 Iran
 was
 in


negotiations
 with
 the
 US,
 they
 were


attacked
 by
 Israel
 with
 the
 support
 of


the
 US.
 Now
 in
 February,
 Iran
 continued


to
 have
 negotiations
 and
 as
 soon
 as
 that


second
 aircraft
 carrier
 got
 into


position,
 the
 US
 attacked
 Iran.
 So
 the


history
 is
 that
 these
 negotiations
 that


Iran
 has
 held
 with
 the
 US
 and
 Israel


have
 always
 been
 fake.
 They've
 always


been
 it's
 just
 basically
 been
 a
 ruse
 to


give
 Iran
 to
 give
 the
 US
 and
 Israel
 time


to
 rearm.
 And
 even
 as
 these
 negotiations


take
 place
 today
 in
 Pakistan,
 we
 have


reports
 that
 there
 are
 more
 military


assets
 being
 moved
 into
 the
 Middle
 East.


There's
 a
 third
 aircraft
 carrier
 on
 the


way.
 So,
 it's
 possible
 that
 these


negotiations
 could
 really
 just
 be
 to
 buy


time
 so
 that
 the
 US
 can
 get
 another


aircraft
 carrier
 in
 position
 and


continue
 uh
 continue
 its
 attacks.
 So,


So
 that's
 the
 context
 for
 these


discussions.
 So
 in
 order
 to
 think
 about


how
 these
 discussions
 could
 play
 out,
 I


think
 it's
 useful
 to
 think
 about
 it
 from


each
 from
 the
 perspective
 of
 each
 of
 the


people
 at
 the
 table.
 Remember,
 there
 are


three
 people
 at
 the
 table.
 From
 the
 US's


perspective,


you
 know,
 again,
 no
 one
 knows
 what
 the


US
 is
 doing
 there.
 It's
 a
 very
 unpopular


war
 and
 it's
 costing
 the
 president


significant
 political
 capital
 not
 just


in
 the
 economic
 we've
 just
 shown
 you
 but


a
 lot
 of
 people
 in
 MAGA
 from
 Tucker
 from


um
 you
 know
 Alex
 Jones
 from
 uh
 uh
 Megan


Kelly
 these
 are
 people
 that
 were
 staunch


supporters
 of
 the
 president
 and
 are
 now


splitting
 with
 uh
 just
 not
 against


moving
 away
 from
 him.
 So,
 it's
 costing


the
 president
 political
 support
 and
 it's


really
 not
 clear
 how
 it's
 been
 helping


the
 president.
 So,
 I'm
 guessing
 that
 the


US
 would
 like
 to
 get
 out
 hopefully
 let


oil
 prices
 come
 back
 down.
 But
 also,


they
 are
 reluctant
 to
 leave
 Iran
 with
 a


win.
 That
 is
 to
 say,
 retaining
 control


of
 the
 Sri
 Moose
 because
 that
 would
 be
 a


very
 clear
 defeat
 uh
 from
 from
 a
 US


strategic
 viewpoint.


From
 Israel's
 viewpoint,
 again,
 this
 war


is
 very
 popular
 in
 Israel
 and
 it's
 been


Prime
 Minister
 Benjamin
 Yahoo's
 dream,


his
 entire
 dream
 for
 for
 his
 entire


political
 career
 to
 destroy
 Iran.
 And


one
 thing
 to
 note,
 there
 are
 elections


in
 Israel
 this
 year.
 And
 so,
 it
 seems


like
 it's
 in
 President
 B,
 Prime
 Minister


Benjamin's
 interest
 to
 continue
 this
 war


and
 maybe
 even
 destroy
 Iran.
 That
 would


be,
 I
 think,
 a
 huge,
 huge
 political


victory
 for
 him.
 From
 Iran's


perspective,
 well,
 they've
 already
 told


us
 through
 their
 10-point
 negotiation
 uh


plan
 what
 they
 want.
 First
 and
 foremost,


they
 don't
 want
 to
 be
 attacked
 by
 the
 US


and
 Israel
 anymore.
 So,
 they're
 looking


for
 security
 guarantees.
 That's
 very


very
 difficult
 to
 for
 them
 to
 get


because,
 you
 know,
 maybe
 maybe
 the


President
 Trump
 could
 commit
 to
 this,


but
 then
 they
 don't
 really
 uh
 are
 not


able
 to
 restrain
 Israel.
 So,
 it's
 not


really
 clear
 how
 that
 could
 happen.


They
 Iran
 would
 also
 of
 course
 like
 to


retain
 control
 over
 straight
 of
 Hamuz


which
 um
 you
 know
 they
 have
 which
 is
 now


given
 them
 control
 over
 20%
 of
 the


world's
 oil.
 That's
 some
 newfound
 power


that
 they
 would
 like
 to
 keep.
 Now
 if


things
 were
 to
 remain
 as
 they
 are
 today


then
 Iran
 would
 basically
 be
 charging


let's
 say
 a
 $2
 million
 toll


making
 money
 and
 maybe
 in
 a
 few
 months


they
 could
 have
 a
 successful
 nuclear


test.
 they
 could
 become
 a
 nuclear
 power


with
 control
 of
 straight
 of
 Hamuz
 that


would
 cement
 their
 status
 as
 a
 regional


hedgeimon.
 So
 they
 do
 come
 into
 this
 uh


into
 this
 negotiation
 with
 a
 lot
 of


leverage.
 Now
 they've
 lost
 a
 lot
 of


leadership.
 Their
 industrial
 capacity


has
 been
 severely
 dis
 degraded
 but
 at


the
 end
 of
 the
 day,
 there's
 really
 no


military
 solution
 for
 the
 US
 and
 Israel


to
 retake
 the
 street
 of
 Hammoose.
 It's


possible
 they
 could
 just
 nuke
 the
 entire


country.
 It's
 possible
 that
 they
 could


send
 half
 a
 million
 troops
 uh
 to
 retake


to
 conquer
 Iran,
 but
 those
 are
 I
 think


unlikely
 scenarios.
 As
 a
 side
 note,
 I've


been
 talking
 about
 and
 worrying
 about
 a


potential
 nuclear
 attack
 on
 Iran.
 Now,


Professor
 Pap
 of
 the
 escalation
 blog


addressed
 this
 point
 in
 one
 of
 his


recent
 talks
 and
 he
 thinks
 that
 it's


he's
 not
 really
 worried
 about
 a
 nuclear


escalation.
 His
 thinking
 is
 that
 uh
 if


there
 is
 a
 nuclear
 attack
 on
 Iran,
 the


fallout
 would
 be
 very
 difficult
 to


control
 in
 the
 sense
 that
 the
 nuclear


fallout
 could
 drift
 where
 the
 weather


blows
 it
 and
 you
 could
 easily
 have
 a


scenario
 where
 the
 follow
 is
 blown
 to


say
 Gulf
 allies
 or
 maybe
 even
 blown
 uh


towards
 Israel.
 So
 you
 could
 have
 a
 so


it
 it's
 kind
 of
 not
 in
 anyone's
 interest


to
 have
 this
 nuclear
 war
 because
 it's


going
 to
 hurt
 everyone.
 However,
 I
 will


also
 note
 that
 there
 are
 other
 nuclear


experts
 like
 Gerald
 Chevrier
 who
 who


thinks
 that
 if
 you
 detonate
 a
 nuke
 not


on
 the
 ground
 but
 in
 air
 the
 nuclear


fallout
 is
 limited
 and
 so
 that
 could
 be


a
 way
 to
 uh
 for
 these
 countries
 to


deploy
 nukes
 without
 having
 to
 worry


about
 fallout
 being
 blown
 back
 towards


towards
 their
 own
 countries.
 So
 anyway,


not
 sure
 how
 that
 will
 play
 out.
 So
 in


any
 case,
 there's
 Bloomberg
 laying
 down


uh
 in
 this
 graph
 the
 10
 points
 that
 Iran


would
 like
 and
 you
 can
 see
 that
 even


though
 the
 US
 is
 willing
 to,
 you
 know,


maybe
 negotiate
 around
 some
 of
 them,
 uh


it
 they're
 in
 stark
 contrast
 with


Israel,
 which
 is
 which
 is
 not
 willing
 to


negotiate
 on
 very
 many
 of
 them.
 So
 it's


it's
 not
 clear
 how
 these
 negotiations


would
 ultimately
 take
 place.
 It's
 it's


going to
 be
 a
 very
 difficult
 negotiation


and
 the
 markets
 are
 already
 cheering


this
 as
 if
 it
 were
 a
 done
 deal.
 We
 can


see
 that
 the
 moment
 that
 the
 se
 the


negotiations
 or
 the
 ceasefire
 were


announced
 the
 markets
 basically
 went


vertical.
 It's
 almost
 as
 if
 they
 were


replaying
 liberation
 day.
 I'm
 not
 sure


if
 that's
 the
 right
 move
 because
 at
 the


end
 of
 the
 day
 the
 street
 of
 hormos
 is


still
 closed
 and
 as
 we
 discussed
 earlier


the
 damage
 is
 still
 filtering
 through


the
 economic
 system
 slowly
 but
 surely.


Now,
 whatever
 happens
 though,
 this
 is


definitely
 going
 to
 remake
 the
 global


map.
 One
 thing
 that
 we've
 learned
 is


that
 the
 Gulf
 allies,
 the
 Gulf
 states


like
 Saudi
 Arabia
 and
 so
 forth,
 they


learned
 that
 the
 US
 cannot
 guarantee


their
 security.
 And
 so,
 at
 the
 end
 of


the
 day,
 they're
 going
 to
 have
 to
 be


nicer
 to
 Iran
 because
 Iran
 can
 still


strike
 their
 production
 capacity


whenever
 they
 want.


Um,


I
 know
 that
 there's
 some
 people
 who


continue
 to
 think
 that
 this
 is
 some
 kind


of
 3D
 chess
 game
 with
 China,
 but


honestly,
 China
 looks
 like
 it's
 going
 to


be
 one
 of
 the
 winners
 in
 this
 scenario.


China
 played
 a
 role
 in
 getting
 Iran
 to


the
 table.
 And
 if
 you
 look
 at
 the
 US's


national
 security
 strategy,
 it's
 very


clear
 that
 the
 US
 no
 longer
 is
 treating


China
 as
 like
 their
 great
 global
 rival.


Right?
 So
 there's
 reporting
 in
 the
 Wall


Street
 Journal
 that
 suggests
 that,
 you


know,
 that
 the
 Trump
 administration
 is


kind
 of
 getting
 rid
 of
 lot
 a
 lot
 of
 the


hawks,
 a
 lot
 of
 China
 hawks
 in
 the


administration
 and
 moving
 towards
 more


of
 a
 consiliary
 tone
 with
 China.
 Now,
 if


you
 know
 anything
 about
 the
 military


supply
 chains
 in
 the
 US,
 you'll
 notice


that
 they're
 heavily
 dependent
 upon


Chinese
 components.
 So
 there
 there


really
 is
 no
 point
 in
 having
 this
 great


global
 rivalry
 with
 China
 when,
 you


know,
 you
 can't
 even
 make
 missiles


without
 Chinese
 help.
 So,
 it's
 looking


like
 really
 the
 same
 strategy
 that's


laid
 out
 in
 the
 national
 security


document
 we
 talked
 about
 last
 year
 where


we're
 going
 to
 have
 a
 multi-polar
 world


where,
 you
 know,
 the
 US
 has
 their
 sphere


of
 influence
 in
 the
 China
 has
 theirs
 and


we
 can
 trade
 with
 each
 other.
 We
 can


compete,
 but
 uh
 it's
 not
 some
 kind
 of


great
 rivalry
 here.
 So,
 in
 any
 case,


it's
 going
 to
 be
 an
 exciting
 week.
 I


have
 no
 idea
 how
 this
 turns
 out.
 If
 we


don't
 have
 some
 kind
 of
 resumption
 in


oil
 flow
 though,
 I
 do
 believe
 we
 will


have
 a
 global


deep
 global
 recession,
 maybe
 a


depression
 in
 some
 parts
 of
 the
 world


and
 uh
 eventually
 that
 will
 be
 reflected


in
 financial
 markets.
 All right,
 so


that's
 all
 I
 prepared
 for
 today.
 Talk
 to


you
 guys
 next
 week.

### 全球秩序重塑与经济衰退风险

地缘政治冲突的持续发酵，促使 **海湾国家**（如沙特阿拉伯）认识到 **美国** 无法完全保障其安全。因此，它们将不得不采取更谨慎和灵活的外交策略，并与 **伊朗** 保持更为缓和的关系，因为伊朗仍有能力随时打击其石油生产能力。

与此同时，**中国** 在此番地缘政治格局重塑中，似乎正成为潜在的赢家之一。中国在促成伊朗与西方国家（包括美国）的谈判中发挥了作用。观察美国国家安全战略的变化，可以发现其对华姿态已从过去的“全球性竞争对手”转变为更为缓和的“伙伴”关系。这种转变部分原因在于美国军事供应链对 **中国零部件** 的严重依赖，使得在战略层面与中国展开全面对抗变得不切实际。由此，全球格局正朝着一个 **多极化世界** 的方向演进，各个大国将拥有各自的势力范围，并在竞争与合作中寻求平衡，而非陷入全面的“伟大竞争”。

展望未来，无论此次谈判结果如何，如果石油供应未能恢复正常， **全球经济** 极有可能面临一场深刻的衰退，甚至在某些地区演变为经济萧条。这种严峻的经济前景最终也将不可避免地反映在金融市场上。
