- 彭博社报道：贝森特将在特朗普与习近平会晤前会见中方对口官员
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced he will meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend, ahead of President Trump's summit with President Xi Jinping scheduled for September 24 in Washington. Bessent made the remarks during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, stating he looks forward to discussing sanctions related to the war in Iran. The war, now in its seventh month, is driving up borrowing costs and consumer prices globally, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reaching its highest level in nearly two decades. Bessent attributed the yield rise primarily to higher oil prices, which he expects to decline. During the hearing, Bessent also emphasized the importance of maintaining America's AI lead over China, echoing Trump's stance. This comes after three U.S. national security agencies accused Chinese AI companies DeepSeek and Moonshot AI of systematically extracting proprietary knowledge from American firms, allegations China rejected as baseless and threatened retaliation. Beijing also criticized U.S. AI developers Anthropic and OpenAI for calling for a slowdown in advanced AI work, accusing them of spreading panic. The meeting between Bessent and He Lifeng is intended to lay groundwork for the Trump-Xi summit. The hearing was interrupted by anti-war protesters accusing Bessent of war crimes over sanctions on Iran.

This Bloomberg article analyzes multiple factors unsettling financial markets. A key factor is a potential slowdown in the AI rally, triggered by the resignation of an Anthropic researcher who accused the company of gambling with lives by developing overly powerful AI models. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, with support from OpenAI's Sam Altman, called for industry-wide limits on AI development, leading to a 5% drop in chip stocks. Simultaneously, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield exceeded 5% for the first time since 2007, driven by rising energy prices, high government debt, and persistent inflation, which could divert investment from stocks. The article also notes a 40% year-on-year increase in online gambling participation in July, with Bloomberg Intelligence forecasting public signal volumes could reach $1 trillion by 2030. Bank of America data indicates that for every dollar transferred to online gambling platforms, consumers receive less than 75 cents back on average, highlighting negative returns.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged past the 5% threshold, reaching its highest level since 2007, a significant milestone in the bond market. Amid this development, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent faced congressional questioning, which was interrupted by sudden protests. In his testimony, Bessent downplayed the risks associated with rising interest rates, instead asserting that the United States is entering a new 'industrial supercycle.' This forecast suggests a period of sustained industrial expansion, though it remains a viewpoint from the Treasury Secretary rather than an established economic fact. The yield breach and the official's response highlight ongoing tensions in financial markets regarding inflation, monetary policy, and the economic outlook.
