特朗普财政部选择市场上涨，比特币涨势失去动力

香港（法新社）——由于交易员欢迎唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)提名的财政部长，华尔街大部分市场昨天收盘上涨，创历史新高

Most markets rose yesterday with a record close on Wall Street as traders welcomed Donald Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary, while bitcoin’s push to USD100,000 ran out of steam after coming within a whisker of the mark at the end of last week.

昨天大多数市场上涨，华尔街收盘价创历史新高，交易员对唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)当选财政部长表示欢迎，而比特币在上周末逼近10万美元后就失去了动力。

The gains came ahead of the release of key United States (US) data that could provide a fresh idea about the Federal Reserve’s plans for interest rates amid expectations the next president’s tax and tariffs plans will reignite inflation, tempering rate cut bets.

这些涨幅是在美国关键数据公布之前出现的，这些数据可能为美联储的利率计划提供新的思路，因为人们预计下一任总统的税收和关税计划将重新引发通胀，从而缓和降息预期。

Investors gave the thumbs-up to news that US president-elect Trump had chosen billionaire investor Scott Bessent to lead the Treasury, with optimism he will take a considered approach to the economy.

投资者对美国当选总统特朗普选择亿万富翁投资者斯科特·贝森特领导财政部的消息点赞，乐观地认为他将采取深思熟虑的经济政策。

Bessent, CEO of hedge fund manager Key Square Group, has called for an extension of tax cuts from Trump’s first term. He also wants to reassert American energy dominance and believes it is necessary to deal with the budget deficit.

对冲基金管理公司 Key Square Group 首席执行官贝森特呼吁延长特朗普第一任期的减税政策。他还希望重申美国的能源主导地位，并认为有必要解决预算赤字问题。

Recently, he has called for tax reform and deregulation to spur growth and wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that this would be key to “restarting the American growth engine” and keeping prices in check.

最近，他呼吁进行税收改革和放松管制以刺激增长，并在《华尔街日报》的一篇评论文章中写道，这将是“重启美国增长引擎”和控制物价的关键。

This month, he called tariffs “a negotiating tool with our trading partners” in an opinion piece for Fox News, adding it was “a means to finally stand up for Americans”.

本月，他在福克斯新闻的一篇评论文章中称关税是“与我们的贸易伙伴进行谈判的工具”，并补充说这是“最终支持美国人的一种手段”。

While his views are seen as hawkish, markets started on a bright note.

尽管他的观点被认为是强硬的，但市场开局却一片光明。

“(Bessent) brings this sense of almost gradualism to the administration as opposed to taking a big bang approach to making big policy changes,” chief economist Brian Jacobsen at Annex Wealth Management, told Bloomberg TV.

“（贝森特）给政府带来了这种近乎渐进主义的感觉，而不是采取大刀阔斧的方法来做出重大政策改变，”附件财富管理公司的首席经济学家布莱恩·雅各布森告诉彭博电视台。

Markets may be relieved that the pick signals “an ‘America First’ kind of administration but not an ‘America Exclusively’ kind of administration”, he added.

他补充说，市场可能会松一口气，因为这次选择标志着“一种‘美国优先’类型的政府，而不是一种‘美国专属’类型的政府”。

After a strong finish on Friday on Wall Street – where the Dow ended on a record – Asian markets were broadly stronger.

周五华尔街股市强劲收盘（道指收盘创历史新高）后，亚洲市场普遍走强。

Tokyo advanced more than one per cent, even as the yen pushed up against the dollar, while Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei, Mumbai, Bangkok, Wellington, Manila and Jakarta also sat in positive territory. However, after a healthy start, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Bangkok turned negative. London, Paris and Frankfurt rose at the open.

尽管日元兑美元汇率上涨，但东京股市上涨超过百分之一，而悉尼、首尔、新加坡、台北、孟买、曼谷、惠灵顿、马尼拉和雅加达也出现上涨。然而，香港、上海和曼谷在健康开局后转为负面。伦敦、巴黎和法兰克福开盘上涨。

Bitcoin sat around USD99,728.34 on Friday, with traders awaiting the next catalyst to push it past the USD100,000 mark.

周五，比特币价格约为 99,728.34 美元，交易员正在等待下一个催化剂将其推高至 100,000 美元大关。
