傑羅姆·鮑威爾將出席最高法院就莉薩·庫克被試圖從聯邦儲備委員會解雇一案進行的口頭辯論

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   聯邦儲備委員會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾（Jerome Powell）將於周三出席最高法院就涉及聯邦儲備委員會理事麗莎·庫克（Lisa Cook）的聽證會口頭辯論，這是央行主席不同尋常的支持表態。 最高法院正在考慮總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）是否能如他所言開除庫克，這是前所未有的試圖撤換聯邦儲備委員會七名理事之一的舉動。據一位知情人士透露（該人士要求匿名），鮑威爾計劃出席最高法院周三的庭審。 這比聯邦儲備委員會主席此前對庫克的支持更為公開。但在此之前，特朗普政府曾對聯儲局，威脅要對聯儲局主席提出前所未有的刑事起訴。鮑威爾於2018年由特朗普任命擔任該職務，他似乎正在擺脫去年對特朗普多次攻擊央行的較為低調的回應，轉而採取更公開的對抗態度。 鮑威爾於1月11日發布視頻聲明，稱是特朗普試圖迫使他大幅下調聯邦儲備委員會基準利率的「藉口」。鮑威爾去年底主持了三次降息，將利率下調至約3.6%，但特朗普認為利率應低至1%，這一立場很少有經濟學家支持。 特朗普政府指控庫克涉及抵押貸款欺詐，庫克否認了這一指控。目前尚未對庫克提出任何指控。她起訴以保住自己的職位，最高法院於10月1日，允許她在法院審理其案件期間繼續留任理事會。 如果特朗普成功撤換庫克，他可以任命另一人填補她的空缺，這將使他任命的人員，並對央行在利率和銀行監管方面的決策擁有更大影響力。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Khosla 支持的 Formulary 為其 AI 驅動的私募基金管理軟體，完成超額認購的 460 萬美元種子輪融資

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   Alfia Ilicheva 來自公開市場領域，曾在全球最大的對沖基金之一 Bridgewater 工作四年。但當她轉向私募領域，包括擔任 Apollo 支持的投資平台執行長時，她意識到了私募股權和風險投資等業務在基金行政管理方面的困難。與在 Bridgewater 可以依賴公開資訊、獲取即時準確數據不同，這個新世界充滿了手動編制、零散且容易出現人為錯誤和指標不一致的數據。她回憶當時的想法：「對沖基金如此先進，而私募資本市場卻如此落後，這怎麼可能？」 隨著私募市場爆炸性成長以及人工智慧讓自動化越來越可行，Ilicheva 看到了一個機會，為從風險投資機構到 Apollo 這樣的私募股權巨頭等所有人，打造下一代基金行政管理軟體。在最初計劃自籌資金啟動這個她命名為 Formulary 的項目後，Ilicheva 被引薦給 Khosla Ventures 的合夥人 Hari Arul，後者立即看到了這個想法的吸引力。Khosla 正在領投 Formulary 460 萬美元的種子輪融資，Ilicheva 表示此輪融資超額認購達三倍，參與者包括 Human Ventures、Serena Williams 的風險投資公司以及其他投資者。 在由 和 OpenAI 等估值巨額的公司崛起所推動的、炙手可熱的私募投資領域，基金行政管理可能不是最具吸引力的創新領域。但追蹤投資、回報和績效——並準確地將這些資訊傳達給投資者或有限合夥人——是必要的基礎。 現有的選擇分為兩類：服務方，即高接觸度的會計公司，如 SS&C 和 Citco；或軟體方，如 Carta。在 Ilicheva 進行用戶研究、訪談普通合夥人和前客戶時，她意識到幾乎所有人都對現有選項感到不滿，以至於大多數人轉向了影子基金行政管理，即他們會聘請外部公司，但同時自己保留帳簿。「當你籌集一支基金時，你的夢想是通過投資資本來創造超額回報，而不是重做別人的工作，」Ilicheva 說。 Ilicheva 計劃通過利用人工智慧來大規模擴展服務模式，在這兩種模式之間找到一個折衷方案，為其內部會計師創建軟體，她戲稱這些會計師為仿生會計師。「他們真正專注於掌握數字和提供服務，但他們不再手動將資料輸入 Excel 試算表，這在過去幾十年一直是這個行業的負擔，」她說。 當然，創建一家技術驅動的服務公司的挑戰在於規模擴張，純軟體即服務（SaaS）模式能夠以更快的速度成長。當我問及 Khosla 的 Arul 如何看待這種方法時，他表示關鍵在於透過技術交付絕大部分產品：「對於任何企業家或投資者來說，看待一項人工智慧驅動的服務業務時，重要的是要說，這項業務的營運利潤率看起來更像一家科技公司，而不是一家服務公司。」 Arul 表示，雖然 Khosla 尚未使用剛剛結束隱匿模式、正式亮相的 Formulary，但他對未來感到樂觀，屆時像確保提供給有限合夥人的數據準確性這類繁瑣流程，可以完全、可靠地自動化。Ilicheva 提到 Formulary 一個可能的未來應用場景是起草有限合夥人信件，Arul 對此表示全力支持，此外還包括一個投資者可以直接與系統溝通以了解持倉價值、資金部署和未來增資要求的入口網站。「相對於今天的現實，這聽起來有點像空中樓閣，」Arul 說，「但感覺並非遙不可及。」 Leo SchwartzX: Email: 提交交易資訊給 Term Sheet 通訊 。 Joey Abrams 策劃了今日通訊的交易部分。 。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

The project utilizes the latest 3D scanning technology “SCAI” to digitally archive humanity’s cultural heritage, providing training data for AI and building a new token economy based on RWA (Real World Assets). Background and Project Evolution Previously, “LEGENDARY HUMANITY” aimed to digitize humanity’s greatest masterpieces using cutting-edge technology, teaching AI about “humanity’s magnificence” to preserve its value for future generations. With this update, the project is renamed “VIVI PROJECT.” Moving beyond mere archiving, it will challenge the creation of new value in the Web3 era as an “RWA token project” building a unique economic ecosystem backed by real-world assets (RWA).

Future Outlook: Global Collection Partnerships The VIVI PROJECT is advancing the networking of collections held by global asset owners. As a first step, we have initiated the following partnerships and negotiations: LA MUSEUM: Holds one of the world’s largest legendary fashion collections, including Yves Saint Laurent, Comme des Garçons, Worlds End, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Madison Martin Margiela. Major Trading Card Company: Negotiations have commenced with the world’s largest trading asset company. This will integrate Real-World Assets (RWAs) from diverse genres like fashion, art, and hobbies into the project, rapidly expanding the ecosystem.

Overview of Speeches Delivered at Launch Event for New Partnership between Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One(R) Team for 2026 Season

jcn

TOKYO, Japan, Jan 20, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today held an event in Tokyo, Japan to mark the official launch of the partnership between Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. Honda will participate in the FIA*1 Formula One World Championship (F1) from the 2026 season as a power unit (PU) supplier under a works partnership with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.Following is an overview of the speeches delivered at the event by the following three executives:-Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of Honda-Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1-Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team*1 Fédération Internationale de lʼAutomobileSpeech by Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of HondaSignificance and starting point of Honda F1 participationIn 1964, when Honda had only just begun selling automobiles, the company took on the challenge of participating in F1 — the world’s most prestigious automobile race series. By overcoming numerous difficulties, Honda claimed its first-ever F1 victory in the second year, at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. Since then, from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, Honda flourished in a golden era, together with Williams and McLaren. More recently, Honda has produced a number of dramatic moments, including winning the Drivers’ Championship title, together with Red Bull Racing.Honda participation in F1, the pinnacle of automobile racing, has been the embodiment of the spirit of the company founder, Soichiro Honda, who inspired Honda engineers to “commit to becoming No.1 in the world,” and to “take on the most difficult challenges.” It is also the starting point of the long-cherished approach at Honda to embrace difficult challenges. Honda engineers called up for the development team preparing for the first-ever F1 participation in 1964Mr. Soichiro Honda at the site of F1 development    (photo taken in 1966) Honda commitment to take on new challenges in the new era for F1In 2026, F1 will undergo a major change in regulations for both the chassis and PU. For the PU, the electrical power output produced by the motor and battery will be increased to roughly three times its current output, and the use of advanced sustainable fuel will be required for the engine. In other words, F1 is evolving into a next-generation motorsport that takes on the challenges of both electrification and decarbonization. Moreover, the F1 cost cap system*2 requires each PU manufacturer to pursue development efficiency to achieve the maximum results within limited development resources.In this new era of F1, Honda is positioning F1 as a symbol of challenge and innovation, and Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), the global racing arm of Honda, developed RA626H, the new PU for the 2026 season. Striving to become No.1 in the world, Honda will continue to take on challenges together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.RA626H, new Honda F1 PU*2 A cost cap set by FIA on annual spending associated with the PU supply. A similar system exists to set a cap for annual spending by each team. Adopting new H mark and leveraging expertise of HRCMachines powered by the RA626H will bear a new H mark with a refreshed design, Honda adopted as the new symbol representing its automobile business. This new H mark symbolizes the transformation of Honda automobile business and will be used for F1 machines as well as Honda machines in various other motorsports (Honda intends to include IndyCar, Super GT, Super Formula Championship and Super Taikyu Series.)Furthermore, Honda will leverage the technologies and expertise that HRC amasses through F1 and other motorsports activities and introduce HRC-spec production models that offer further refined driving performance. This will enable Honda motorsports activities to contribute even more to the enhancement of Honda automobile business. By introducing HRC-spec models to the market, including a production model based on the Civic Type R HRC Concept, Honda will offer a broader range of customers with opportunities to feel the “joy of driving” and Honda passion and commitment to take on challenges. Honda views F1 not only as the pinnacle of automotive technology but as a place to develop its human resources. Honda engineers rigorously trained in world-class competition will return to the development of production models and create products that offer even greater joy and inspiration to its customers. 2026 season F1 car that bears new H mark2026 season F1 car that bears new H mark Applications and contributions of F1 technologies to the future of mobilityThe technologies refined in F1, such as technologies for high-efficiency combustion and thermal management; technologies in the area of high rotational speed, including high-output motors and large-sized turbochargers; as well as sustainable fuel technologies, are being applied not only to next-generation HEV and EV models but also to Honda products that enhances mobility in the skies, such as eVTOL and aircraft engines. To be more specific, expertise on sustainable fuels has already been applied to sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), as well as fuels to power eVTOLs, which are currently under study. Moreover, technologies for high-speed rotating components, such as turbos and motors, have been leveraged reciprocally for aircraft engines and F1 PUs and are being further advanced through real-world applications. This circular synergy is ongoing within Honda.Honda will leverage F1 technologies as a starting point to further facilitate technological innovation for a wide range of mobility for land, sea, skies and outer space and contribute to the advancement of mobility products and services and realization of a sustainable society.Growing popularity of F1 and determination of HondaIn recent years, thanks to broadcast partners, social media content, global streaming services and movies, the fan base for F1 racing is growing rapidly around the world with 827m global fan in 2025. Last year’s Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit saw an all-time high in the number of spectators since the circuit’s major renovation in 2009, indicating an unprecedented surge of excitement and popularity. Honda wants to share the joy of winning with the fans who have supported Honda over the years, as well as new generations of F1 and Honda fans.Starting with the 2026 season, Honda will conduct its F1 activities under a new logo representing the partnership between Honda and F1. Together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, Honda will compete to convey the true excitement and value of taking on challenges to reach the pinnacle of the world, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support.Speech by Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1This is an exciting moment for the sport of F1, as Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team join together to fight for the biggest prize of F1.Formula 1 began racing in Japan in 1976 before moving to Suzuka in 1987, so there is a deep loyalty and connection to the country where a record 13 World Drivers’ Championships have been decided over the years. The sport is growing in Japan where there are now nearly 17 million passionate and incredible F1 fans. The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka last year welcomed 266,000 weekend attendees, and saw a +26% year-over-year increase in TV viewership in Japan. The return of Honda to F1 this year will further boost the potential for the sport here in the Japanese market.Globally the sport is growing with 827 million fans worldwide. The strategy of F1 is to engage with fans in spaces where people may not expect to find it, such as culture, entertainment, music, TV and film. A healthy sport is good for everyone involved.

From Computing Chips to Physical AI: Nobel Laureate Hassabis’ Trillion-Dollar Paradigm Forecast and 51WORLD’s (6651.HK) Industry Breakthrough

acn

HONG KONG, January 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In 2026, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry reached another critical turning point. Demis Hassabis, Nobel Prize winner and CEO of Google DeepMind, made a pivotal assertion: the true trillion-dollar opportunity in AI lies not in computing chips, but in “Physical AI”—systems capable of perceiving, understanding, and transforming the real world. Having earned a Nobel Prize for his breakthrough work on AlphaFold, which validated AI’s scientific value, Hassabis’ latest outlook has attracted widespread attention in capital markets. It has also brought 51WORLD (6651.HK), a Hong Kong-listed company focused on Physical AI, into the spotlight.Hassabis pointed out that current AI faces a bottleneck of "intelligence fragmentation": while excelling at digital tasks such as text generation, it struggles to grasp basic physical laws like gravity and spatial continuity. The missing "world model" stands as the final barrier to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). More critically, the poor adaptability of existing data formats leads to computing power waste and low energy efficiency, making energy supply a potential core variable in future AI competition. Physical AI, by constructing a digital environment that closely mirrors reality, holds the key to resolving this series of challenges.As China's first listed company specializing in Physical AI, 51WORLD's strategic layout aligns perfectly with this trend. Deeply rooted in the fields of digital twin and simulation, the company has independently developed the AES Digital Twin Base and 51Sim Simulation Platform, establishing the core infrastructure for Physical AI. The implementation of Physical AI requires breaking through three key elements: synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms. Leveraging its massive 3D asset library and 3DGS/4DGS reconstruction technology, 51WORLD has achieved 90% authenticity and 100% scene controllability for synthetic data, providing AI with data support that adheres to physical laws.Its AES Base enables full-scale replication—from micro-components to macro-cities—endowing AI with "physical intuition." Combined with the Clonova Interaction Platform and Aperdata Implementation Platform, it has created a closed loop from digital cognition to physical execution. In embodied intelligence, the ultimate application of Physical AI, 51WORLD has delivered tangible results: it empowers over 100 global intelligent driving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, testing institutions, universities, and research institutes with closed-loop simulation training solutions, helping clients build safe, efficient, and mass-producible verification systems for intelligent driving systems.51WORLD's resilience stems from its commitment to underlying technologies. During the previous R&D cycle, the company established a leading position in China's Physical AI market. With a new round of large-scale R&D investment in synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms, it has solved the cross-scenario generalization challenge of Physical AI—aligning seamlessly with Hassabis' vision of a universal world model. Financial data shows sustained strong revenue growth for the company, and the explosive demand for the 51Sim Platform underscores the industry's urgent need for high-reliability Physical AI simulation technology.Hassabis predicts that over the next five years, AI will enter the era of automated experimentation, requiring digital environments that accurately simulate physical parameters. This aligns closely with 51WORLD's direction of evolving toward a "universal world model" and integrating generative AI. Amid the wave of AI transitioning from the digital world to the physical world, 51WORLD—equipped with technical accumulation and scenario implementation capabilities—is emerging as a core participant and leader in this trillion-dollar track.

北約對「墨西哥捲餅」式貿易：特朗普最新加徵關稅令道瓊期貨狂瀉400點，華爾街寄望達沃斯峰會能降級

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   週一晚間，在全球股市遭到拋售後，美國股市期貨下跌，原因是總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）出於對格陵蘭的野心，對北約盟友發起了一場貿易戰。 道瓊斯工業平均指數期貨下跌401點，跌幅0.81%。標普500指數期貨下跌0.91%，納斯達克期貨下跌1.13%。 美國股市因紀念馬丁·路德·金恩博士日假期而休市。早些時候，由於美國資產的避險地位受到質疑，歐洲和亞洲的股市也受到影響。 週六，特朗普表示，從2月1日起，丹麥、挪威、瑞典、法國、德國、英國、荷蘭和芬蘭將被徵收10%的關稅，6月1日起將升至25%，直到達成「完全購買格陵蘭」的協議。 這一宣布是在這些國家上周應丹麥要求派遣軍隊前往格陵蘭，表面上是為了訓練目的之後做出的。但週日晚些時候，特朗普向歐洲官員發出的一條信息顯示，他堅持接管格陵蘭與他未能獲得諾貝爾和平獎有關。 特朗普對歐洲徵收新關稅的地緣政治影響可能危及跨大西洋同盟，並威脅烏克蘭對俄羅斯的防禦。 但華爾街分析人士對金融市場的近期風險更為樂觀，認為特朗普的舉動是一種旨在獲取讓步的談判策略。 激石集團（Pepperstone）高級研究策略師米歇爾·布朗（Michael Brown）將這一策略描述為「以進為退」，並指出他在本周達沃斯世界經濟論壇露面之前宣布徵收關稅的時間安排可能並非巧合。 他在週一的一份報告中表示：「我將讓其他人去質疑這種做法的優點，以及它可能帶來的長期地緣政治影響，但對市場而言，這種情況可能意味著近期會有一些波動，因為頭條新聞的噪音會震耳欲聾，直到另一個「TACO」時刻到來，市場才會出現一波解困反彈。」他指的是「特朗普總是膽怯」的交易。 同樣，凱投宏觀（Capital Economics）副首席市場經濟學家約拿斯·戈特爾曼（Jonas Goltermann）也表示，「冷靜的頭腦將佔上風」，並淡化了市場將重蹈去年關稅混亂覆轍的可能性。 他在週一的一份報告中表示，投資者已經學會對特朗普的所有威脅持懷疑態度，並補充說美國經濟仍然健康，市場仍保留著關鍵的風險緩衝。 戈特爾曼補充說：「鑒於美歐之間深厚的經濟和金融聯繫，雙方都有能力給對方帶來重大痛苦，但這也會給自身帶來巨大代價。因此，在我們看來，更有可能的結果是，雙方都意識到重大升級將是雙輸的局面，最終將達成妥協。這將符合以往大多數由特朗普主導的外交戲劇的模式。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

美國最高法院最快週二可能阻撓川普取得格陵蘭的計畫

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   美國最高法院可能裁定唐納德·特朗普總統的貿易關稅為非法——這將為他收購格陵蘭的計劃設置重大障礙。特朗普總統昨晚深夜發布了他接管格陵蘭的最新威脅：「現在是時候了，這事一定會成！！！」此前，在週六，他威脅要對丹麥、挪威、瑞典、法國、德國、英國、荷蘭和芬蘭徵收10%的關稅，並將在6月1日上調至25%，「。」 但分析師今早指出，法院預計將於本週二和週三發布裁決。華爾街的預期是，法院將裁定總統無權根據《國際緊急經濟權力法》（IEEPA）對常規國際貿易徵收關稅。如果發生這種情況，特朗普的威脅至少在短期內可能變得毫無意義。 「美國威脅徵收的關稅……可能會被美國最高法院推翻，」UBS在今早的一份報告中向客戶建議。 在ING，Carsten Brzeski和Bert Colijn表示：「如果最高法院裁定所有早先根據IEEPA徵收的關稅無效，那麼特朗普（關於格陵蘭的）最新聲明將失效，他將不得不尋找其他關稅手段。這將需要更多時間。」 該裁決原本預計在本月早些時候出爐。延遲導致一些人猜測，法院在口頭辯論中似乎對白宮的論點持懷疑態度。該法院有推遲發布其重大且出人意料的裁決的歷史。 「雖然法院預計將在本週發布更多意見——庭審安排在週二和週三——但我們的經濟學家預期，該裁決可能要到今年晚些時候才會出爐，甚至可能遲至六月，」Jim Reid及其在的同事在他們的晨報中表示。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   經濟學家警告，在橢圓形辦公室威脅若歐盟國家不支持美國購買格陵蘭領土的要求，將對其徵收新關稅後，川普總統可能在格陵蘭的談判中過度冒險。上週末，川普總統在他擁有的一個網站上發文稱，「從2026年2月1日開始，……丹麥、挪威、瑞典、法國、德國、英國、荷蘭和芬蘭，所有運往美利堅合眾國的貨物都將被徵收10%的關稅。「2026年6月1日，關稅將提高至25%。此項關稅將持續徵收，直至達成完全收購格陵蘭的交易為止。」 川普總統認為，出於國家安全原因，美國需要購買這塊（並不出售的）領土，聲稱中國和俄羅斯也想要控制該地區。他辯稱，格陵蘭是丹麥王國內一個自治的部分，但丹麥沒有能力保衛這片土地。 川普購買他國管轄下土地的請求，被廣泛視為一種挑釁。儘管美國可能是地球上最大的經濟體，但在經歷了一年關於關稅和軍費開支的尖銳爭執後，其盟友的耐心正逐漸消磨殆盡。 經濟學家現在警告，本週末的武力展示可能太過火了，而川普的弱點可能正是美國貪婪的支出習慣。 Deutsche Bank的Jim Reid指出，四月的解放日關稅在一週後就被撤回，當時美國國債收益率經歷了一個「可怕」的交易日，因投資者避險撤離，凸顯了市場對財政狀況的敏感性。 「金融市場可能在這種局勢如何自行解決方面扮演重要角色，」Reid今早在一份給客戶的報告中寫道。「美國的主要『阿基里斯腱』是龐大的雙赤字。因此，儘管在很多方面感覺美國握有經濟牌，但在一個將被週末事件嚴重擾亂的世界裡，它並未掌握所有的資金牌。」 投資者、分析師和世界領導人長期以來一直在想，何時——或者是否——會在某個背負巨額赤字的國家發生債務危機。雖然日本、英國和法國等國也絕非收支平衡，但美國38兆美元的赤字使其相形見絀。儘管這筆債務有很大一部分由公眾持有（包括聯準會，川普總統在此也陷入困境），但外國政府和海外投資者也持有巨額債務。 這項高達8兆美元的風險敞口，可能是歐洲領導人決定提醒白宮注意的事情。歐洲作為美國最大的債權人，「說明了美國與歐洲之間深刻的相互依存關係，但也表明，至少在理論上，歐洲對美國也有影響力，」全球宏觀主管Carsten Brzeski和荷蘭首席經濟學家Bert Colijn寫道。兩人補充道：「但在實踐中，歐洲是否真的會開啟一場『拋售美國公司』的季節，則是完全不同的問題。歐盟幾乎無法強迫歐洲私營部門投資者出售美元資產；它只能嘗試激勵對歐元資產的投資。」 替代措施：反脅迫工具 歐盟還有一個尚未動用的工具。法國總統馬克宏建議，現在是時候使用歐盟的「反脅迫工具」了。該工具是一套針對任何外國勢力不當干預歐盟或其成員國政策選擇的反制措施，手段包括制裁個人、禁止其競標政府工作、限制貿易以及削減外國投資。 歐盟還可以對來自美國的約3000億美元商品徵收新關稅。 Goldman Sachs認為，這很可能是歐洲領導人目前正在權衡的反應之一。分析師Sven Jari Stehn和Giovanni Pierdomenico上週末寫道，這項立法正是為此類情況設計的——儘管當初可能沒有考慮到像美國這樣的強大盟友。 兩人寫道：「啟動（程序）並不意味著實施（這需要幾個步驟），而是發出潛在歐盟行動的信號，並為談判爭取時間。ACI可能涉及比關稅更廣泛的一系列政策工具，例如投資限制、對美國資產和服務徵稅。」在服務業方面，歐盟恰好對美國擁有順差，這意味著與大西洋彼岸的類似行動相比，歐盟在這個特定行業將造成更大的損害。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普對格陵蘭的威脅勢將主導達沃斯高風險世界經濟論壇

hk_news

今日CEO Daily：Diane Brady預覽在達沃斯舉行的高風險世界經濟論壇。 重大新聞：格陵蘭的商業論點薄弱。 市場動態：全球表現參差不齊，美國市場因馬丁·路德·金紀念日休市。 此外：來自的所有新聞和辦公室閒聊。 (SeaPRwire) -   早安來自瑞士達沃斯，世界經濟論壇第56屆年會現已展開。主辦方稱這是WEF歷史上層級最高的聚會之一，匯集了近3,000位全球領袖、約850位頂尖CEO與主席，以及創紀錄的400位頂級政治領袖，其中包括64位國家元首。所有人的目光都將聚焦於唐納·川普總統，他將帶領五位內閣部長和一大群高級官員代表團前來。今年的主題是「對話精神」，這是Klaus Schwab首次掌舵WEF。 有些人可能會覺得這種想法頗具諷刺意味，因為本週川普對反對他購買格陵蘭計畫的歐洲國家，以及。難怪發現世界正退回到孤立主義。在全球領袖們感到風險如此之高之際，這更凸顯了他們齊聚一堂的必要性。 昨晚我路過時，看到一名男子躺在結冰的地面上，身旁圍著急救人員，試圖判斷他是否能自行起身。這感覺恰好象徵了我至今在這裡遇到的多位非美國商業領袖所抱持的心態：震驚、突如其來的不適感，以及盡可能緊靠美國的渴望。正如總部位於華盛頓的PwC全球主席Mohamed Kande昨晚向我解釋的：「美國仍然是投資的首選目的地；人們尊重經濟的基本面以及公司的基本面。」 雖然地緣政治可能主導新聞議程，但AI將主導達沃斯大道沿線酒店和贊助商場地中的許多討論，大量非官方與會者大部分時間都在這些地方度過。那些備受追捧的派對、招待會、節目和晚宴都在那裡舉行。 就是其中之一，正在舉辦一系列聚會，從C-suite午餐和最具影響力女性招待會，到我們的年度全球領袖晚宴，以及本週三在USA House的特別節目區塊。您可以查看我們的完整行程。 我將在現場與我的同事Alyson Shontell、Kamal Ahmed和Jeremy Kahn會合，他們將在整週提交報導、錄製視訊播客並主持對話。（Kamal的。） 我在達沃斯最喜歡體驗真正對話精神的場所之一是Barry's Piano Bar，自從CEO Matthew Prince資深WEF鋼琴家Barry Colson在Coulson長期駐點的達沃斯街頭演出機會枯竭後，這裡也被稱為。如果本週齊聚鎮上的G7六國成員能圍坐在那架鋼琴旁，放聲高歌幾曲，或許能為和平帶來一線希望。請透過Diane Brady聯繫CEO Daily，信箱為本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

我參加達沃斯論壇16年，從未見過美歐關係陷入如此危機

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   每年，來自世界各地的商界領袖、政治人物和倡導團體都會穿上雪靴和價值1000美元的Arc’teryx Macai外套，前往瑞士滑雪勝地達沃斯。就像新年緊接聖誕節之後一樣，一月來臨，正是世界經濟論壇年會舉行之時。 WEF 不乏批評者——一個為富人和權勢者提供的空談遊樂場，與平民百姓的生活現實脫節，沉迷於「全球對話」和「基於規則的秩序」。批評者的指控清單聽來耳熟能詳。 但是，當那個基於規則的秩序本身受到威脅，危機氛圍瀰漫時，這場山中的會議突然間就顯得有意義了。 在2008年金融危機之後，西方資本主義瀕臨崩潰，會議氣氛熱烈，銀行業領袖，包括 JPMorgan 執行長傑米·戴蒙和巴克萊執行長鮑勃·戴蒙德，與各國總統和總理發生衝突。2011年，我在主會議場親眼目睹戴蒙堅持認為政府的監管反應已經過頭（他說「太多就是太多」），結果卻被當時的法國總統尼古拉·薩科齊直接在公開舞台上駁斥。那是一場堪稱經典的爭執。 我參加達沃斯論壇已有16年，而今年最讓人想起信貸緊縮後的那些激烈爭論，當時資本主義的基本原則正受到質疑。這一次，問題出在國際秩序，以及西方在面對一系列密集風險時，對於截然不同的應對方式能否保持團結的能力。 唐納德·川普總統自2020年以來首次與會，將成為主導人物。在加薩、委內瑞拉、烏克蘭，以及最讓歐洲震驚的格陵蘭問題上，這位總統已經在原本就鯊魚環伺、波濤洶湧的外交海洋中投下了多塊巨石。 上週末，他威脅要對那些阻礙美國吞併格陵蘭（一個自治島嶼，屬於丹麥一部分）的國家提高關稅——目前為10%，六月將升至25%。一直持批評態度的法國、德國、英國、荷蘭、丹麥、挪威、瑞典和芬蘭都是他的目標。 「我參加達沃斯論壇已有16年，而今年最讓人想起信貸緊縮後的那些激烈爭論，當時資本主義的基本原則正受到質疑…」 歐盟已經做出回應，預示著世界上兩個最強大經濟體之間可能爆發新的貿易戰。法國總統埃馬紐埃爾·馬克宏已要求歐盟首次動用其「反脅迫工具」，這是一種在2023年引入的貿易武器，旨在保護歐盟成員國免受中國關稅影響。在布魯塞爾，人們談論的是對在歐盟交易的美國公司徵收930億歐元（1080億美元）的新稅和限制。歐洲股市指數正在下滑。作為對沖市場風險的黃金價格已升至新高。 歐盟委員會主席烏爾蘇拉·馮德萊恩將於明天發言，而川普預計在週三登場，他率領著美國有史以來訪問世界經濟論壇的最大代表團——包括五位內閣部長和數百名官員。旨在為日益緊張的口水戰找到解決方案的多場雙邊會議正在匆忙安排中。 「領土完整和主權是國際法的基本原則，」馮德萊恩在上週末表示。「它們對歐洲乃至整個國際社會都至關重要。關稅將損害跨大西洋關係，並可能引發危險的惡性螺旋式下降。」 2017年習近平在達沃斯談論自由貿易價值時，我在現場。2018年，川普向聽眾保證「美國優先」並不意味著「美國獨行」時，我也在。2026年，川普將再次主導論壇，這位急於重塑全球秩序的總統。歐洲現在如何行動，將為他剩餘的總統任期定下基調。能否達成一份關於格陵蘭的防務協議，以滿足川普對加強安全的要求？他會真的實施新關稅嗎？歐盟會加速報復嗎？ 對本週參加世界經濟論壇的許多人來說，寫下這樣的句子幾乎是荒謬的。我們正處於未知的領域。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
