美国政府又要关门吗?——不太可能,但不是不可能。

热门话题几个月前美国两党为政府预算争得不可开交,差一点就关门大吉。当时的用延期法案的办法为政府续命了几个月,这时间飞逝,转眼就要到11月17日大限,如果17日前两党仍未达成协议,总统拜登未能将支出工具签署为法律,政府将面临十年内第四次关闭的风险,这将导致400万名联邦工作人员无薪水可领,世界上最大的经济体停摆。上周六穆迪因美债债务利息成本大幅上升以及根深蒂固的政治两极分化,将美国信用评级展望由“稳定”下调至“负面”也就变得理所当然了。

就在11月11日,众议院共和党人公布了一项临时融资计划,用以为美国政府提供临时资金,避免政府在11月18日关门。据悉,在国会预算仍处僵局的情况下,17日大限仅剩下不到一周,政府必须时刻做好关门的准备。在11月7日的报告中,高盛表示国会很有可能故技重施,在11月17日政府拨款到期日前延长拨款期限,继续把悬念保存下去。因为明年美国就要大选了,这也是两党博弈的某种筹码。然而毕竟时间紧迫,万一玩过了火,两党没能在周五前达成延期协议,那么美国政府关门也不是不可能。新上任的众议院议长迈克·约翰逊于周六提出了一项新的临时资金方案:CR。这项临时方案不包含任何补充资金,例如对以色列或乌克兰的援助。该方案将把军事建设、退伍军人福利、交通、住房、城市发展、农业、食品和药物管理局以及能源和水项目的资金延长至1月19日,所有其他联邦行动的资金将于2月2日到期。过去几天,他一直在与不同的议员讨论各种选项,包括临时资金法案需要延长至何时。但他的提案不太可能赢得民主党或白宫的支持,因其主张削减开支,采取保守政策并且其资金结构十分复杂,共和党人显然是不愿意让步的。两党议员也都表示,这次CR可能会增加众议院与民主党达成协议的难度,从而增加政府关门的可能性。

在上一财年结束时,联邦政府出现了1.7万亿美元的赤字——这是新冠疫情爆发以来的最大赤字,反映了高支出和过去减税带来的损失。高盛在报告中指出,此次美国政府是否关门取决于两个关键问题:下一次延期将持续多长时间?延期将附加什么条件?延期时间方面,相较于12月中旬相比,延长至1月中旬的可能性较大,但越多次延期就越使得下一次延期后关门的风险更高。并且,因为众议院共和党人与参议院在提议的支出水平上存在1200亿美元的巨额差距,这将使通过全年支出法案变得非常困难。如果国会继续通过临时延期来避免停摆,最终结果将是5月份生效的自动支出被削减,导致2024Q2和2024Q3的资金减少,其约占GDP的0.4%。附加条件方面,高盛认为为以色列提供资金是最有可能增加的政策项目,此外边境安全,成立军事委员会和其他政策项目也有可能增加。目前美国媒体报道称,众议院共和党人希望在下周二能够就一项权宜之计进行投票,该措施可能会将联邦机构的可自由支配资金延长至一月中旬,而这也是目前来看能够避免政府关门的最后一根救命稻草。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Xavier Zhang | GO Markets 高级分析师

印度经济分析(二):印度制造的光与影

热门话题在上一期分析了印度不同时期的经济状况,也了解了印度的经济结构。目前的经济结构是农业占比15%,服务业占比50-55%,工业占比30-35%。曾经许可证制度导致的垄断,缺乏竞争的历史遗留问题一直存在,并且也很大一部分制约了印度的经济发展。直到2014年,印度制造浪潮兴起,印度转型为全球制造中心,吸引外国直接投资,并为当地企业创造更有利的环境。也提供更多的岗位。主要行业有航空、汽车、生物技术、化学品、国防制造、电子系统、食品加工、信息技术和商务服务、制药、纺织和服装等。Made in India的浪潮开始发起。低廉的人工成本成为了最主要的吸引点。但是实际上而言,大力发展的背后,似乎没有想象中那么好,这是为什么?第一大问题:官僚化和腐败在印度,腐败已经成为一个普遍的社会问题。无论是日常生活中的小额贿赂,还是在大型公共项目和政府采购中的高额回扣,腐败都普遍存在。这不仅损害了公众的信任,还增加了商业活动的成本和风险。规则,制度,法律都较弱,但是关系和“人情”更重要。做什么都得上下打点。举个例子,项目合作要进行竞标,那如果不是公开透明的竞标,就会出现大问题,资金的不正当利用,项目的成果难以保证。就好像近年来其实有不少人“诟病”,印度制造的一些产品存在良品率不达标的状况。也和官僚化和腐败存在关系。CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX这个就是一个清廉指数,它衡量了每个国家的公共部门腐败程度。分数越高,代表越清廉,分数越低,代表越腐败。而印度目前的腐败程度还是很高,100分满分只有40分,在180个参选国家中为85名。澳大利亚是75/100分,是世界排名第13名。

(source:transparency)第二个问题就是种姓问题种姓制度限制(4大主要种姓)婆罗门(Brahmins):祭司和学者。刹帝利/克沙特利亚(Kshatriyas):勇士和统治者。吠舍/瓦伊舍亚(Vaishyas):商人和农民。首陀罗(Shudras):仆人和劳工。除了这四个主要种姓,还有一个被称为“Dalits”或“Untouchables”的群体,他们被认为是种姓体系之外的。传统上,这个群体被认为是“不可接触的”,因为他们从事被认为是“污染”的职业,如扫街或处理尸体。在现代印度,种姓制度仍然影响着很多人的日常生活,尽管印度宪法禁止种姓歧视并提供给低种姓群体一些特权,如教育和就业中的预留名额。然而,尽管法律上有这些保障,但实际上种姓歧视在一些地方仍然存在,特别是在印度的农村地区。几千年遗留下来的东西已经根深蒂固的留在体制内,不是想改就能改的。这也造成了极强的阶级观念和隔阂。总体看来,印度的GDP是在高速发展中,但是仍然存在问题。在2023年的数据看来,印度的国内增长总值增长约7.2%,可以看出来增长是在前几名国家中冠绝群雄。

但是从另外一个方面来看,印度2022年人均GDP约2388美元,排名世界第158。其中体现了贫富差距过大。印度的两大富豪是Mukesh Ambani(安巴尼)和Gautam Adani(阿达尼),两人常年霸榜亚洲财富榜。在2023年,联合国开发计划署(UNDP)发布的一份报告称,印度生活在多维贫困中的人数从2005年的55%降至2021年的16.4%。虽然比之前要低了不少,但是一算的话,仍有大概2.296亿人处于贫困当中。

总结来说,尽管印度经历了经济结构的转型,以及“印度制造”浪潮的兴起,创造了多个行业的发展机会和吸引了外国投资,但官僚化和腐败仍然阻碍了其发展潜力。腐败程度较高的情况下,发展势必会受到限制。此外,根深蒂固的种姓制度继续在社会和经济领域制造隔阂,影响着印度人的生活。虽然GDP增长率显著,但人均GDP和贫富差距的数据揭示了社会经济不平等的现实,印度在追求经济发展同时也需要加强治理和促进社会公正。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Neo Yuan | GO Markets 分析师

WeWork破产,孙正义亏百亿美金

热门话题WeWork 破产,投资WeWork的故事为什么不靠谱?WeWork Inc. 从未弄清楚如何赚钱。但创始人Adam Neumann仍是亿万富翁,哪怕如今已经破产,身价仍然为 17 亿美元。WeWork拥有190亿美元的负债和150亿美元的资产。包括软银集团公司和愿景基金在内的长期投资者将进一步增加在该合资企业中承受的巨额损失。WeWork Inc.周三首次出现在破产法庭,启动了长达数月的程序,且该公司无力偿还超过40亿美元的借款。

2019年,公司估值达到470亿美元,成为当时美国估值最高的创业公司。但是,他提供的服务却并没有很强的稀缺性。商业物业办公租赁。并且,该模式需要大量现金流,一旦现金流为负,很容易倒闭。2021年,WeWork营收25.7亿美元,净亏损约为44.4亿美元,2022年营收约32. 5亿美元,净亏约22.9亿美元。此前WeWork通过与一家收购公司合并上市时,诺伊曼拥有23 亿美元的财富,其中近三分之一持有 WeWork 股票。但之后,它们的跌幅已超过 99%。咱也不知道,为什么机构这么看好这家公司,还是说只是一个击鼓传花的游戏。大鱼吃小鱼,软银为了营造一个繁荣的IPO项目。在经济不景气的这几年,WeWork有很多大笔支出,其中包括 1.85 亿美元的竞业禁止协议、1.06 亿美元的和解付款以及诺伊曼旗下 We Holdings 向软银出售股票所获得的 5.78 亿美元。同时,孙正义为WeWork提供了高额贷款和担保。WeWork 的破产给亿万富翁孙正义创立并领导的软银造成了约 115 亿美元的股权损失,另外还有 22 亿美元的债务悬而未决。一笔生意亏了上百亿美金。孙正义在WeWork身上亏掉了106亿美元,他还在滴滴身上也亏掉了110亿美元。连续的大额亏损也让他的投资能力受到质疑。孙正义旗下基金亏损情况:

而对于创始人Adam来说,从2022年8月开始,重点就放在新的项目Flow上面,将经营多户住宅物业,旨在培养主人翁感和社区感。从商业地产回归到住宅地产。并成功获得10亿美金风投。作为一家上市公司,WeWork从未实现盈利,净亏损总计 30 亿美元。他的出发点是承诺提供一个与同事共度时光的有趣空间,提供桶装啤酒、乒乓球桌和大量舒适的休闲空间,供人们喝酒吹牛。但很明显,对于社交属性来说,为WeWork买单的公司并不多。在澳洲,也有几家WeWork的地点,但并没有招满公司。而WeWork的竞争对手也很多,其中不少先后破产或跑路。原因在于疫情之后,商业物业的青睐程度下降。很多人和企业开始Work from home,居家办公。同时远程办公开始流行。这件事情很难靠谱的原因就在于,成功只有一种情况,而每一个因素的变化,都会导致公司快速亏损:经济衰退、居家办公、利率上涨、竞争出现。而这四个因素在疫情后快速出现。作为“二房东”的WeWork,首当其冲承受了所有,但是不见得他的客户们,也有充足的租金继续在WeWork办公。因为WeWork的群体并不是中大型公司,这些中大型公司都有自己独立的办公室。比如GO Markets,在墨尔本有两层办公室,在悉尼也是独立海景办公室。因为中大型公司是不会share分享办公场地的,需要有一定的保密性和正规性。什么样的人会在WeWork办公呢?sole trader或者IT服务类的会在WeWork办公,也就是本来就是可以work from home的人会选择WeWork。但是疫情后,澳洲居家办公可以抵扣税务,同时上涨的房租或者利率,让大家不愿意拿闲钱再去租一个工位或者小办公室,很多时候谈事情,在咖啡店就可以了。所以,WeWork的倒闭是时间问题,除非一直有资金输血。我们在做股票投资的时候,优先要投资未来有成长正现金流的生意,孙正义失败也在于他过于依赖于估值游戏,忽略了投资本身的核心:公司是要赚钱的。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Jacky Wang | GO Markets 亚洲投研部主管

USD and yields firmer ahead of US CPI

The USD has remained bid today heading into today’s pivotal US CPI where both the headline M/M and Y/Y figures are expected to show an increase over Julys readings. This is the last major inflation figure before next weeks FOMC meeting where the Fed is widely expected to hold rates (Fed Funds futures pricing in only a 7% chance of a 25bp hike). A beat on CPI today is unlikely to sway the rate hike odds much but it will cast doubt on any narrative that the Feds work on inflation is done.

A CPI coming inline with expectation or higher will likely see a reasonably hawkish FOMC statement and presser, where despite unchanged rates, the Fed may give a dot plot projection indicating one more hike this year. DXY has rallied in today’s session after yesterday’s whipsawing price action, with the upward trendline holding as support. US 10-year yields have also rallied to move towards the August highs as traders brace for a higher CPI and more hawkish Fed as a result, higher yields also a tailwind for the USD.

Headwinds for the DXY will be the 105+ resistance zone which has capped further gains in DXY for the last 12 months, also 10-year yields in the recent past finding a lot of resistance when over the 4% level.

Is the Gold Run Over?

The recent surge in gold prices, following recent events in the Middle East and the declining US Dollar (DXY), raises the question: Is this the end of the bull run for Gold (XAU/USD)? Gold started rising earlier this month after rejecting the price level of 1815.00. Since then, it has steadily climbed back to its previous peak of 1984.00, a resistance point that was notably challenging to breach in July.

This recent surge in gold prices, due in part to recent events in the Middle East, is attracting more bullish activity in the gold market. Simultaneously, the declining value of the US Dollar (DXY) has contributed to the upward movement of gold prices. Where can we see gold go in the near future?

In the market, assets tend to move in one of three directions: up, down, or sideways, often referred to as consolidation. Given that gold has reached its previous peak, it may seek potential support, which appears to be around 1930-1931. Concurrently, the US Dollar is experiencing a decline in value.

If gold manages to surpass the resistance at 1984.00, the next hurdle could be at 2060.00. This level is evident on the daily timeframe, where the price has approached 2060 on multiple occasions, only to be rejected. What about the DXY and XAU/USD?

The relationship between DXY (Dollar Index) and gold (XAU/USD) is intricate. Sometimes, when the dollar index is declining, the price of gold tends to move sideways or increase. However, examining larger time frames like the 4-hourly or daily charts reveals an inverse pattern of rejection and price rise between these two markets.

It's important to note that gold's movements are not solely dependent on the USD; other significant factors, including news, social and geo-political events can also play a substantial role in influencing its price fluctuations. Why is gold so important? Apart from its physical shine and the enduring symbolic connection with wealth seen throughout human history, gold holds significance as a historically reliable store of value and a means of exchange.

Unlike many other commodities, gold does not diminish or get depleted, giving it a timeless sense of worth. It can act as a safeguard against the erosion of currency value caused by inflation, prompting numerous investors to view gold as an alternative asset and a method of preserving their wealth. How can I trade gold?

At GO Markets, we provide Metal CFDs for trading, offering not only gold but also silver and copper futures. Our goal is to deliver an exceptional trading experience to our clients. We take pride in offering one of the best online trading platforms for gold, silver, and copper futures, in addition to providing access to FX, Soft Commodities, Shares, and Indexes, enabling our clients to diversify their investments across various financial markets.
