新元承压!美关税来袭+政策宽松预期,汇率或跌向1.30关口

随着美国总统特朗普威胁将对药品与半导体征收新关税,新加坡元正面临双重压力。同时,市场也预期新加坡金管局(MAS)本月可能转向宽松货币政策,进一步拉低汇率。

为什么新元走弱?

① 美关税或影响新加坡出口

  • 药品与半导体是新加坡关键出口产业。

  • 新关税或于8月1日生效,市场担忧这将冲击新加坡下半年的经济增长。

“如果关税实施,将增加新加坡经济面临的逆风,尤其在美联储推迟降息的情况下,”
—— 新加坡银行货币策略师 沈茂雄(Moh Siong Sim)

他指出,新元近期或贬至 S$1.30兑1美元(目前约S$1.2846)。

② 政策宽松预期升温

  • 市场预期7月23日公布的核心通胀率仅为0.7%,显示通胀温和,为金管局放宽政策提供空间。

  • 巴克莱预期:MAS将把新元名义有效汇率(S$NEER)政策坡度调降至0%, 不再等待10月会议。

“MAS若在本月放松S$NEER坡度,我们倾向于看空新元,”
—— Asia Decoded首席经济学家 Priyanka Kishore

新加坡与全球央行做法有何不同?

与多数央行透过调整利率控制通胀不同,新加坡透过调整S$NEER政策带的坡度与区间宽度来进行货币政策操作。

当前S$NEER接近政策带上限,若坡度调降,新元兑一篮子货币的升值空间将受限。

投资者还需注意什么?

  •  美元强势回归: 受益于美联储观望态度与关税通胀预期,美元走强进一步压制新元。
  •  套利交易影响: 新元作为“融资货币”的角色令其更易受套利盘抛压。
  •  区域货币对比: 彭博数据显示,多数模型偏好印尼盾多头 vs 新元空头组合。

MoneyMaster 速评:

新元短期仍将承压,尤其在政策宽松与美方贸易压力并行的情境下。若7月MAS真的放松政策,新元或进一步试探S$1.30关键支撑,对出口导向型经济体而言,这可能是一剂双刃剑。

US October Jobs and CPI May Never Be Published, White House Warns as Shutdown Disrupts Data Pipeline

The White House said Wednesday that the October US jobs report and consumer price index are unlikely to be released, marking an unprecedented disruption to America’s economic data system as the government shutdown continues. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that key statistical agencies — including the Bureau of Labor Statistics — halted data collection and publication when the shutdown began, leaving policymakers without crucial indicators needed to assess the economy’s momentum. While some datasets could be reconstructed retroactively, economists have cautioned that the CPI and unemployment rate are among the releases most at risk of being skipped entirely. The BLS has not issued an updated calendar or indicated whether missing releases might be combined into future reports. In previous shutdowns, the agency has restored operations quickly, but officials now face the challenge of incomplete surveys that cannot be reproduced after the fact. Leavitt said Democrats “may have p...

EU Seeks Assurances from US Over AT1 Bond Wipeouts in Future Bank Failures

Europe’s top bank resolution official is seeking clarity from the United States to ensure that  US regulators will not obstruct write-downs of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds  during future bank failures, a crucial mechanism used to safeguard financial stability. Background: Lessons from Credit Suisse Dominique Laboureix, chair of the  Single Resolution Board (SRB) , said in an interview that the issue has been raised at the  Financial Stability Board (FSB) , where a working group is “seriously” addressing potential cross-border obstacles. The move follows lingering uncertainty since the  2023 collapse of Credit Suisse , where  AT1 bondholders were fully wiped out  to facilitate the bank’s rescue. With the  Trump administration’s reorientation of US regulatory priorities , European officials are now seeking renewed assurance that Washington will continue to uphold global resolution standards. “You cannot achieve 100% comfort all around the globe wit...

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席,或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins)接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会(SEC)主席 加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名,这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 : 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规,力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 : 离开SEC后,阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ,一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新,同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 : 马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda):现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 (Heath Tarbert):前商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 (Robert Stebbins):Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议,被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致,即在保障市场完整性的同时,通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么? SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任,这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式,为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。
