2023.09.08 不久前，我们暗示美联储可能能够实现其传说中的“软着陆”，而从目前美国经济的发展情况来看，这一预测看起来相当精明。 正如我们在之前的文章中详述的那样，线索一直存在：作为经济活动很大一部分驱动力的美国大公司正在赚取巨额利润，这意味着更高的就业率和消费者的可支配收入。 仅仅通过提高价格来适应通胀主题，不断上升的利率除了提高利润外什么也没做。事实上，利息支付占税后利润的百分比实际上处于 60 年来的最低水平！因此，标普 500 指数收复了 2022 年熊市一半以上的损失也就不足为奇了，而且正如华尔街所声称的那样，现在正处于牛市。 正如我们之前多次讨论过的，央行不能仅仅因为无力承担而继续加息（请注意，目前美国联邦债务的年度支付额为 32.6 万亿美元，即将达到 […]

2023.09.06 与任何其他行业一样，采矿业在过去十年中也经历了相当多的问题，影响了其整体声誉和效率。 现在面临着为全球能源转型提供足够矿物的艰巨挑战，该行业必须深入挖掘——无论是字面上还是隐喻上——以提高其绩效。 但问题的根源是多方面的，阻力来自各个方面。关键问题包括全球技能短缺、环境和人权问题以及资金的可用性和使用。 在这些问题得到解决之前，采矿业的价值将无法最大化，并且该行业可能在未来十年遭受同样的命运。 下面，我们将探讨采矿业长期可持续发展的每一个主要障碍，以及该行业已经（或尚未）采取哪些措施来减轻这些风险。 关键技能差距 采矿业面临的最大挑战之一是劳动力老龄化和后继人才缺乏造成的技能差距日益扩大。 科罗拉多矿业学院研究和技术转让副总裁沃尔特·科潘 (Walter Copan) 表示，采矿业正面临着严重的技能差距，再加上即将到来的预期退休人数方面的所谓“灰色海啸”，情况更加严重。 德勤今年早些时候发布的一项研究显示，近 […]

2023.07.27 到目前为止，我们可能已经接受了这样一个事实：世界各地的食品价格将继续变得更加昂贵。 在加拿大，平均食品杂货账单不断上涨。对一些家庭来说，现在已经难以承受。 6 月份，加拿大食品通胀同比增长 9.1%，紧跟 5 月份增长的 9%。 与正在放缓的 2.8% 的总体通胀率相比，食品价格的走势似乎是一个大问题。 加拿大统计局上个月通过 […]

2023.07.13 在经济学中，“软着陆”广泛指的是在经历了一段成功避免衰退的增长期之后经济适度放缓。从隐喻上讲，它类似于该术语最初在航空领域的使用方式——飞行员试图让飞机平稳着陆而不坠毁。 当肩负着阻止经济因高通胀而过热的任务时，美联储等央行通常会提高利率，使其刚好足以引发经济放缓（即软着陆），但不足以引发严重的经济衰退（称为“硬着陆”）。 虽然定义“软着陆”的量化因素长期以来一直存在争议，但在失业率不大幅飙升（最好低于 5%）的情况下让通胀率回到或接近 2% 的目标通常被视为基本要求。 “软着陆”一词在前美联储主席艾伦·格林斯潘 (Alan Greenspan) 任职期间首次流行，人们普遍认为他在 1994 年至 […]
