Taiwan’s reputation for tech excellence means it is a favoured alternative source for Ukrainian drone-makers Over the four years that Ukraine has been fighting to repel Russian forces from its territory, its country’s battlefields have become scarred by airstrikes, pockmarked by artillery fire, and littered with the wreckage of cheap aerial drones. The conflict has transformed the economics of modern warfare – with both sides now reliant on these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to monitor the battlefield, evade defences and strike deep into enemy territory. The fighting has so far kept Russia bogged down, trapped behind frozen frontlines, allowing Kyiv to remake the country’s industrial base to meet the needs of the war. Continue reading...
亿万富翁投资者、桥水基金创始人瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio)正在压缩其风险时间表。 在近期一期由Ed Elson主持的Prof G Markets播客节目《Ray Dalio: The World Order Has Unraveled》中,达利欧表示,美国正“处于部分问题爆发的边缘”,并将风险窗口指向未来大约两年,尤其是在2026年中期选举与2028年总统大选之间。 这对一位长期从宏观周期角度...
亿万富翁投资者、桥水基金创始人瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio)正在压缩其风险时间表。 在近期一期由Ed Elson主持的Prof G Markets播客节目《Ray Dalio: The World Order Has Unraveled》中,达利欧表示,美国正“处于部分问题爆发的边缘”,并将风险窗口指向未来大约两年,尤其是在2026年中期选举与2028年总统大选之间。 这对一位长期从宏观周期角度观察市场的投资者而言,是一个值得关注的表述变化。过去,达利欧的许多警告往往指向数年甚至十年后的长期风险;而这一次,他将关注点明显拉近。 多重风险正在汇合,标普500面临高估值考验 达利欧的核心判断是,多股力量正在大致同一时期汇聚,包括美国债务需求下降、美国债务发行上升、技术颠覆加速以及国际冲突升级。 这意味着,风险不再只是单一变量冲击,而是财政、货币、资本流动、政治治理与地缘局势之间的联动压力。 从市场表现看,当前投资者仍在为“延续性”定价。标普500ETF过去一个月上涨13%,过去一年上涨28%。与此同时,VIX波动率指数在2026年3月27日一度升至31.05,随后回落至18.81的正常区间。 这也形成了一个明显落差:达利欧所说的“两年风险倒计时”正在推进,但当前市场定价仍显得相对乐观。 财政赤字高企,美国对债市融资依赖加深 达利欧最担忧的核心问题,仍是美国联邦政府的财政状况。 他指出,美国政府每年支出约7万亿美元,财政收入约5万亿美元,意味着支出比收入高出约40%。这一缺口必须通过债券市场融资。 问题在于,这一融资需求发生在美债收益率仍处于高位之际。数据显示,截至2026年4月28日,10年期美国国债收益率约为4%,位于过去12个月区间的较高位置。 同时,10年期与2年期美债收益率利差已压缩至约1%,显示市场对短期经济前景仍保持谨慎。M2货币供应量在2026年3月1日升至22.69万亿美元,而核心PCE仍处于过去12个月的高位区间,这意味着美联储政策灵活性受到限制。 换言之,美国财政部需要持续融资,但美联储未必有足够空间通过大幅降息来为债市提供支持。 海外买家需求减弱,中国因素成为关键变量 达利欧还警告,海外投资者对美国债务的需求正在减弱。 他特别提到,中国通过长期贸易顺差积累了大量美元储备,但在地缘政治紧张和制裁风险上升的背景下,中国可能正在重新评估其对美国国债的敞...
With Singapore facing a global energy crisis due to the conflict in the Middle East, the “storm clouds” that Prime Minister Lawrence Wong warned of at an election rally last year now appear to be an understatement.

With Singapore facing a global energy crisis due to the conflict in the Middle East, the “storm clouds” that Prime Minister Lawrence Wong warned of at an election rally last year now appear to be an understatement. Under the scorching midday sun at a lunchtime speech in the heart of the city, Singapore’s leader last April urged voters to re-elect his tested People’s Action Party (PAP), arguing that voting for the opposition would weaken his team’s ability to navigate coming headwinds.
