专题：美联储维持利率不变 金融机构预计今年或只降息一次 鲍威尔称伊朗战争带来的影响尚不明确 市场对美联储今年降息的预期进一步减弱，推动12月政策会议对应的隔夜指数互换（OIS）利率升至3.52%，显示市场预计降息幅度为12个基点，意味着年底前降息25个基点的可能性约50%。 美国国债现货市场，短端延续跌势，推动2年期收益率升至盘中高点，日内上行约11个基点。 12月美联储政策会议的OIS定价与周二收盘时交易员预计年内降息25个基点的可能性为100%形成对比，转变源于美联储主席鲍威尔在宣布维持利率不变后的讲话。 责任编辑：李桐

Apollo Global Management的Torsten Slok表示，美联储在决定维持利率不变之际，已选择“完全忽视”市场正面临的中东冲击。 Apollo首席经济学家Slok表示，如果霍尔木兹海峡长时间关闭，能源和油价可能维持高位，并可能产生连锁反应。 Slok称，这一冲击若要对美联储的模型产生实质性影响，至少需要持续一个季度，而美联储显然暗示，他们预计这种情况不会持续太久。 当被问及鲍威尔的言论是否推动2年期美国国债收益率升至日内高点时，Slok回答称：“绝对如此”。 责任编辑：李桐

【有線新聞】政府建議八月起禁止放債人要求借款人提供貸款諮詢人，業界說外傭與僱主同住，若處理外傭壞帳，仍有需要上門跟進。有外傭僱主組織就希望禁止以僱主地址作借貸。 政府加強規管持牌放債人，首階段八月起禁止放債人要求借款人提供貸款諮詢人。融資行業從業員協會召集人陳子康在本台節目《政經Chat》說，財務公司追收外傭壞帳，仍有需要上門到僱主寓所探訪。陳子康：「外傭借貸申報地址是住所，變相有些財務公司壞帳時可能會加上收債公司處理，上門探訪時，其實亦會上到外傭的家中直接對著僱主。僱主可能會覺得可以填我的地址、會上門，對我們不公平。」 國際家政服務業持續發展聯會會長林夏瑤：「之前跟財庫局開會時亦有提出過這個問題，但尷尬位置是僱主地址同時是外傭住址，政府會否考慮不可以用僱主地址借貸？」 政府亦建議涉及低收入士無抵押貸款的放債人，明年強制加入「信資通」，陳子康相信可減低壞帳率。陳子康：「多謝政府『一刀切』，令外傭從非法漏洞或走門面、或非法網上借貸，統一加入『信資通』，令財務公司可以認清信貸紀錄處理借貸。今次清洗太平地會將一班未加入『信資通』的財務公司將數據整合後，令借貸環境清晰見到，對財務公司看到方向、營運模式，反而對財務公司日久可以將專業提升。」 林夏瑤認為政府要加強執法。林夏瑤：「見到很多時借貸嚴重出現問題，都是因為非法財務公司特別網上、海外情況出現，希望政府更多網上巡查，打擊這類公司，以及之前建議可否有封網舉措。」林夏瑤又說加強監管之外，很多外傭本身理財意識薄弱，容易「先使未來錢」，希望政府亦協助加強教育。

Stringer | Reuters Qatar said Wednesday that Iranian missiles caused "extensive damage" at Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in the world. Qatar's Foreign Ministry denounced the attack as a "dangerous escalation, flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability." Qatar reserves the right to respond in accordance with the right to self-defense guaranteed under international law, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement . Brent oil prices, the international benchmark, surged more than 7% to $111.23 by 4:52 p.m. ET. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil was up about 4% at $100.04. Iran's Revolutionary Guard had threatened to attack energy facilities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates after Israel bombed a natural gas processing facility in Iran. Emergency teams were deployed to contain fires at Ras Laffan, according to a social media post from state-owned QatarEnergy. No casualties have been reported. Qatar's Interior Ministry later said the fire at the facility had initially been brought under control. Qatar halted LNG production on March 2 due to Iranian drone strikes at Ras Laffan and Mesaieed Industrial City. The Gulf state is the second-largest LNG exporter in the world, after the U.S. Qatar accounts for nearly 20% of global LNG exports, according to data from energy consulting firm Kpler. The escalating attacks on Middle East oil and gas infrastructure threaten to intensify the massive energy supply disruption triggered by the Iran war. Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has plunged due to Iranian attacks on commercial ships. The Strait is the most important trade chokepoint for oil, w...

【有線新聞】美國放寬航運限制60日，容許外國貨船在美國境內港口通行，方便燃料運輸，遏抑油價上漲。多國亦繼續準備應對措施，南韓正研究是否入口俄羅斯石油。 美國白宮發言人發聲明，指總統特朗普下令暫停執行《瓊斯法案》60天，解除對美國港口之間航行貨船的限制。《瓊斯法案》於1920年通過，規定這些貨船必須在美國建造、登記、懸掛美國國旗並由美國船員操作，原意是保障國內造船業。白宮指豁免法案執行可讓外國船隻在美國境內運輸貨物、石油、天然氣、化肥和煤炭等關鍵資源可自由流動，降低航運成本，期望有助遏抑油價。 霍爾木茲海峽遭封鎖，依賴中東石油供應的國家面臨的燃料短缺問題越來越迫切。南韓繼上周實施油價上限後，政府提升能源安全戒備級別，加強供應和需求管控，暫時將輕油列入經濟安全風險管控清單，可向相關企業提供補助。南韓獲阿聯酋保障優先提供2,400萬桶石油，政府亦正跟油公司探討入口獲美國暫時解除制裁的俄羅斯石油及輕油。 柬埔寨加大從新加坡及馬來西亞入口燃油，填補因越南及中國限制出口造成的短缺。西班牙在未來90天會釋放1,150萬桶戰略石油儲備，多家歐洲航空公司因成本上漲，打算要求歐盟推遲使用成本更高的電制合成可持續燃料的規定。

格隆汇3月19日｜巴西央行：由于冲突持续时间缺乏明确性，通胀预测的不确定性已显著上升。委员会认为适宜启动货币政策校准周期。

海外持有的美国国债规模1月上升。当月，围绕欧洲对美国资产需求的担忧一度升温。 美国财政部周三公布的数据显示，海外持有的美国国债总规模增加348亿美元，至9.31万亿美元。该数据同时反映净买卖及估值变动。彭博一项美国国债市场指数继12月下跌后，1月基本持平。 此前12月海外持有的美国国债总规模曾下降883亿美元。1月回升主要由英国和日本带动，而加拿大 —— 其持仓月度波动较大 —— 则出现明显下降。 作为美国国债最大的海外持有国，日本的持仓增加398亿美元，至1.23万亿美元。排名第二的英国持仓增加293亿美元，至8953亿美元。 第三大持有国中国持仓增加109亿美元，至6944亿美元。比利时持仓减少263亿美元，至4510亿美元。市场分析人士称比利时持仓中包含中国托管账户。 欧洲持仓 欧盟整体持仓增加80亿美元，至2.13万亿美元。1月，在特朗普就格陵兰问题向丹麦施压之际，丹麦一家养老基金曾警告称，计划退出其美国国债持仓。 美国财政部长贝森特当月驳斥了有关欧洲可能抛售美国国债的猜测，称这是“虚假叙事”。他还表示“这完全违背逻辑”。 责任编辑：李桐
