美國日前公布的最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示,,4月份政府收入實現(xiàn)增長,,但預(yù)算赤字繼續(xù)擴大;3月份美國貿(mào)易逆差增長了28億美元,。貿(mào)易逆差和財政赤字的雙高給美國經(jīng)濟前景添堵,。

盡管4月份美國政府收入實現(xiàn)增長,,但預(yù)算赤字繼續(xù)擴大,。

The US trade deficit rose by $2.8bn to $48.2 bn in
March,,in an indication of how surging oilprices are holding back the
economy.
3月份,美國貿(mào)易逆差增長了28億美元,,至482億美元,,表明油價飆升正在拖累美國經(jīng)濟增長。(《金融時報》)
石油進口上升,,加之油價每桶上漲了6美元,使得美國的逆差增加了58億美元,。出口額雖然也強勁增長4.6%,,且終于恢復到危機前的水平,但與進口規(guī)模相比就小了很多,。
“The deficit was wider not because export growth slowed but
because import growth accelerated.This implies that more of the stim-ulus that
has been applied to the economy has leaked overseas,,”Ricchiuto said,chief
economist at Mizuho Securities in New
York.
“貿(mào)易逆差擴大,,不是因為出口增長放緩,,而是因為進口增長提速。這意味著經(jīng)濟刺激措施的效應(yīng)大多溢出到海外去了,”瑞穗證券首席經(jīng)濟學家斯蒂芬?里基烏托說,。(《金融時報》)
刺激效應(yīng)外溢不僅反映在貿(mào)易層面,,目前全球流動性泛濫造成的大宗商品價格巨幅震蕩也與此外溢效應(yīng)有關(guān)。

of the Federal Reserve board that want to tighten monetary policy to curb the

備受關(guān)注的美國對華貿(mào)易逆差3月略收窄至181億美元,。分析師稱,3月貿(mào)易逆差大于預(yù)期,,不太可能明顯改變美國疲弱的第一季經(jīng)濟增長數(shù)據(jù),。
