彭博:华尔街分析师言,美国期待经济软着陆

译文

华尔街最大的股市悲观主义者之一调回(dialed back 颇有讽刺之意)了对标准普尔500指数的悲观预测。法国巴黎银行(BNP Paribas)美国股票和衍生品策略主管Greg Boutle 曾预测,该基准将在今年年底达到3400点,比2022年下降11%。但本周,他投降了。Boutle将目标提高到4150,这一修正后的预测似乎反映了人们越来越期待美国经济将穿过针眼实现软着陆,或者至少避免今年的任何衰退。Boutle说,相反,他预计随着经济增长放缓和分析师降低对企业盈利的预测,股市将下跌 ——David E.Rovella

注:
1.capitulate 投降
词性辩义:capsulate 胶囊、太空舱
2.US economy will thread the needle of a soft landing 美国经济将穿过针眼实现软着陆

据说,摩根大通正处于探索基于区块链的数字存款代币(digital deposit token)的早期阶段,以加快跨境支付和结算(cross-border payments and settlement)。存款代币是可转让的数字硬币,代表对商业银行的存款索赔(deposit claim against),是客户账户中存款的数字版本。这家美国资产规模最大的银行已经开发了大部分基础设施,这些基础设施主要用于支撑新支付形式。然而,除非该项目获得美国监管机构的批准,否则不打算创建代币。

美国抵押贷款利率连续从第二周下降。房地美周四在一份声明中表示,30年期固定贷款的平均利率从一周前的7.18%降至7.12%。抵押贷款利率在过去四周一直高于7%,自2022年初以来翻了一番多。借贷成本的飙升抑制了房屋销售,使许多购房者靠边站,挤压了他们的负担能力。

大多数人不仅选择在线投票,还可以自由地向政府提供个人信息?这样的国家可以成为一个典范,数字化除了误导和网络攻击之外,仍然显得很有用。这样的地方还真存在,它的名字就是爱沙尼亚(Estonia)。从政府服务到税收和教育,这个波罗的海国家(Baltic nation)正在将自己转变为21世纪国家典范(21st century model),在苏联解体之后立刻兴起的数字民主。在彭博原创系列节目《指数》(Exponentially)的第一集中,投资者兼作家 Azeem Azhar 与爱沙尼亚总理 Kaja Kallas 坐在一起(讨论工作),后者分享了她的政府如何通过拥抱技术来加强民主。

One of Wall Street’s biggest stock-market pessimists dialed back his gloomy forecast for the S&P 500 Index. Greg Boutle, head of US equity and derivative strategy at BNP Paribas, had predicted that the benchmark would end the year at 3,400, an 11% drop from where it finished in 2022. But this week, he capitulated. Boutle raised his target to 4,150—a revised projection that seems to reflect the growing expectation that the US economy will thread the needle of a soft landing, or at the very least avoid any downturn this year. Instead, Boutle said he expects stocks will drift down as growth cools and analysts lower forecasts for corporate earnings. —David E. Rovella

Here are today’s top stories

China is looking to expand a ban on the use of iPhones. If Beijing goes ahead, clinging to the culmination of a years-long effort to root out foreign technology. In markets Thursday, it wasn’t just Apple that took a hit on the news.

SK Hynix has opened an investigation into the use of its chips in the latest phone from Huawei after a teardown of the device revealed its memory and flash storage inside. China-based Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro uses Hynix’s LPDDR5 and NAND flash memory, said TechInsights, who conducted the teardown of the device for Bloomberg News. Icheon-based Hynix “no longer does business with Huawei since the introduction of the US restrictions against the company and, with regard to the issue, we started an investigation to find out more details,” a company spokeswoman said on Thursday.

Deposit tokens are transferable digital coins that represent a deposit claim against a commercial bank—a digital version of the deposits customers hold in their accounts. The US’s biggest bank by assets has developed most of the underlying infrastructure needed to run the new form of payment, but doesn’t plan to create the token unless the project is approved by US regulators.

Mortgage rates in the US decreased for a second week in a row. The average for a 30-year, fixed loan fell to 7.12% from 7.18% a week earlier, Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday. Mortgage rates have been above 7% for the past four weeks and have more than doubled since the start of 2022. The surge in borrowing costs has stifled home sales and sidelined many buyers, squeezing affordability.

Former Goldman Sachs partners Tom Connolly and Mike Koester are betting on one of the hottest corners on Wall Street for their next act. The New York-based duo have co-founded a new firm, 5C Investment Partners, that aims to capture a slice of the burgeoning private credit market, where alternative asset managers are increasingly displacing banks by providing multi-billion financings to companies. “Direct lending is playing a very important role during a market dislocation that is persistent,” Koester said in an interview Thursday, referring to regulation that has curbed bank lending since 2008. “There are credit-worthy companies that need financing.”

Texas declared its first power emergency since a deadly winter storm two years ago and came close to rolling blackouts as soaring temperatures roasted the southern state. The declaration of a so-called Level 2 emergency late Wednesday came in response to shrinking supplies of available power and meant the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state’s grid operator, had to draw on reserves while pushing consumers to curb usage.

One where most people not only choose to vote online, but freely provide their personal information to the government? A country that serves as a possible model for how digitalization can be used for something other than misinformation and cyberattacks? Such a place arguably exists—and its name is Estonia. From government services to taxes and education, the Baltic nation set about transforming itself into a 21st century model for digital democracy soon after the fall of the Soviet Union. On the first episode of the Bloomberg Originals series Exponentially, investor and author Azeem Azhar sits down with Estonia Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who shares how her government has sought to strengthen democracy by embracing technology.
