美元走強與美國潛在需求疲軟,加劇台股逆風及資金外流
Joe 盧, CFA | 2025年7月30日 美東時間
鷹派的美國聯準會,加上美國國內經濟放緩的實質證據,為風險性資產創造了一個艱鉅的環境。美國聯準會維持利率不變的決定在預期之內,主席鮑爾的評論才是關鍵驅動因素。他消除了市場對九月降息的確定性。透過將未來的貨幣政策與貿易關稅的通膨影響明確掛鉤,美國聯準會將地緣政治風險提升為其決策的直接考量因素。現在,市場正以高度關注等待傑克森霍爾(Jackson Hole)全球央行年會。
一份具誤導性的美國第二季GDP報告加劇了此一政策的不確定性。表面上3%的成長率看似強勁,但此數字是因關稅相關的進口提前拉貨效應消退所導致的統計異常現象。關鍵數據點在於「對國內民間購買者的最終銷售」成長率,這項指標是衡量潛在需求的純粹指標。該數據放緩至僅1.1%,為自2022年以來的最低水準。這項明確的訊號顯示,貿易政策摩擦現正實質抑制美國消費者與企業的活動。
就台灣而言,美國近期情勢的發展,正解釋了加權指數(TAIEX)趨勢轉弱,並跌破關鍵短期移動平均線的原因。聯準會的鷹派立場,以及隨之而來的美元走強,引發了高達新台幣165億元的外資撤離。這對台積電(TSMC)和鴻海(Hon Hai)等市場權值股造成沉重壓力,並導致市場技術指標惡化。此一外部壓力恰逢國內經濟指標放緩,使台灣的出口導向型經濟處於脆弱的處境。
展望未來,市場已進入一段盤整期。未來的路徑將由兩大主要催化因素決定。首先是美國貿易行動的明朗化,特別是8月1日的關稅措施以及針對半導體的「232調查報告」。其次是美國聯準會後續的政策訊號。在此之前,投資者的焦點將放在防禦性佈局和特定的國內題材上,例如已宣布的軍用無人機採購案,這類題材較能提供相對不受總體經濟逆風影響的保護。
最新數據顯示,美國經濟基本面正出現全面性的惡化跡象。通膨和消費者信心的關鍵指標轉為負向。此一疲弱的前景影響了美國公債市場。短期債務保持穩定,長天期公債則持續呈現強烈的負向趨勢。
圖表一:美國經濟指標
經濟情緒已轉弱。投資期間展望、通膨及消費者信心的前景均同步惡化。然而,企業獲利的正向趨勢仍維持穩固的正向趨勢。這種分歧對未來的成長構成了風險。資金流向美元的趨勢有所改善,從強烈負向轉為中性。這顯示在更廣泛的不確定性中,資金可能流向美元避險。
圖表二:美國公債(以美元計價)
代表短期債務的1-3年期美國公債,仍維持穩定且中性的趨勢。中期債券的趨勢有所惡化。3-7年期美國公債從正向轉弱為中性。7-10年期美國公債轉為負向。殖利率曲線的長端仍然承受巨大壓力,價格下跌導致殖利率上升。10-20年期與20年期以上美國公債均維持其強烈的負向趨勢。這項訊號顯示了投資者對長期存續期間風險的持續擔憂。

A Stronger Dollar and Weak U.S. Underlying Demand Intensify TAIEX Headwinds and Capital Outflows
By Joe 盧, CFA | 07/30/2025
A hawkish Federal Reserve and tangible evidence of a slowing U.S. domestic economy create a challenging environment for risk assets. The Fed's decision to hold rates was expected. Chairman Powell’s commentary was the key driver. He removed the certainty of a September rate cut. By explicitly tying future monetary policy to the inflationary impact of trade tariffs, the Fed elevated geopolitical risk into a direct input for its decision-making. Markets now await the Jackson Hole symposium with heightened attention.
This policy uncertainty was compounded by a controversial U.S. Q2 GDP report. The headline 3% growth appears robust. The figure is a statistical anomaly from an unwind of tariff-related import front-running. The critical data point is the growth in final sales to private domestic purchasers, a pure measure of underlying demand. This slowed to 1.1%, its weakest reading since 2022. This definitive signal shows trade policy friction is now actively dampening U.S. consumer and business activity.
For Taiwan, these U.S. developments explain the negative shift in the TAIEX trend and its breach of key short-term moving averages. The Fed's stance and resulting U.S. dollar strength triggered a substantial foreign capital outflow of NT$16.5 billion. This weighed heavily on market heavyweights like TSMC and Hon Hai and caused a technical deterioration in market indicators. This external pressure coincides with slowing domestic economic indicators, placing Taiwan's export-oriented economy in a vulnerable position.
Looking ahead, the market has entered a period of consolidation. The path forward will be dictated by two main catalysts. First is clarity on U.S. trade actions, specifically the August 1 tariffs and the "232 investigation" into semiconductors. Second are the subsequent policy signals from the Federal Reserve. Until then, investor focus will be on defensive positioning and specific domestic themes, such as the announced military drone procurement, which offer insulation from broader macroeconomic headwinds.
The latest data signal broad-based deterioration in U.S. economic fundamentals. Key indicators for inflation and consumer strength turned negative. This weakening outlook affects the U.S. Treasury market. Short-term debt remains stable. Long-duration bonds continue to exhibit a strongly negative trend.
Exhibit 1: U.S. Economic Indicators
Economic sentiment has weakened. The outlook for Investment Duration, Inflation, and Consumer Strength deteriorated. The positive trend for Corporate Earnings held firm. This contrast presents a risk to forward-looking growth. The trend for Currency Flow into the USD improved, shifting from strongly negative to neutral. This suggests a potential flight to the dollar amid broader uncertainty.
Exhibit 2: U.S. Bonds (in USD)
Short-term debt, represented by 1-3 Year US Treasuries, maintained a stable, neutral trend. The trend for intermediate-term bonds deteriorated. 3-7 Year US Treasuries weakened from positive to neutral. 7-10 Year US Treasuries turned negative. The long end of the curve remains under significant pressure. Both 10-20 Year US Treasuries and 20+ Year US Treasuries maintained their strongly negative trends. This signals persistent investor concern over long-term duration risk.
