Source: Stock market and dollar slide as Trump slams Powell again
周一早盘,股市低开,并持续下跌。纳斯达克指数开盘下跌逾2%,随后跌逾3.25%,美元兑外币汇率跌至多年来的最低水平。 截至中午,道琼斯工业平均指数下跌1100点,标准普尔500指数下跌近3%。特斯拉、英伟达和Salesforce等大型科技股分别下跌约6.8%、5.5%和5.6%。美元指数过去一周下跌约1.41%,周一触及97.99美元的低点,为2022年2月以来的最低水平。 在市场不确定性的背景下,黄金、比特币和美国国债收益率均有所上涨。 此次下跌与关税担忧以及美国总统唐纳德·特朗普再次抨击美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔有关,他称降息的呼吁是“先发制人”。 特朗普上周表示,“鲍威尔的下台来得太慢了!” 他在Truth Social的一篇帖子中表示:“能源成本大幅下降,食品价格(包括拜登的鸡蛋灾难!)大幅下降,以及其他大多数‘东西’都呈下降趋势,通货膨胀几乎为零。” 他补充道,“这些成本的下降趋势如此之好,正如我所预测的那样,几乎不会出现通货膨胀,但经济可能会放缓,除非‘太迟先生’,一个主要的输家,现在就降低利率。欧洲已经‘降息’了七次。鲍威尔一直‘太迟’,除了在选举期间,他为了帮助昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登(后来的卡玛拉)当选而降息。结果如何?” 国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特周五表示,特朗普和他的团队正在研究解雇鲍威尔的方法。
The stock market opened down on Monday morning and has continued to slide. The Nasdaq dropped more than 2% at opening and has since reached over 3.25%, while the dollar hit its lowest value against foreign currencies in years.
By noon, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1,100 points, and the S&P 500 dropped nearly 3%. Big Tech shares, such as Tesla, Nvidia, and Salesforce, saw losses of about 6.8%, 5.5%, and 5.6%, respectively. The U.S. Dollar Index has fallen about 1.41% over the past week and hit a low of $97.99 on Monday, the lowest since February 2022.
Gold, bitcoin, and Treasury yields all rose during the market uncertainty.
The drop coincided with tariff worries and President Donald Trump slamming Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell again, saying calls to cut interest rates were “preemptive.”
Trump said last week that “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!”
“With Energy Costs way down, food prices (including Biden’s egg disaster!) substantially lower, and most other ‘things’ trending down, there is virtually No Inflation,” he said in a post on Truth Social.
“With these costs trending so nicely downward, just what I predicted they would do, there can almost be no inflation, but there can be a SLOWING of the economy unless Mr. Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates, NOW,” he added. “Europe has already ‘lowered’ seven times. Powell has always been ‘To Late,’ except when it came to the Election period when he lowered in order to help Sleepy Joe Biden, later Kamala, get elected. How did that work out?”
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Friday that Trump and his team are studying ways to fire Powell.
