SpaceX announced that it would spend $100bn on a new launch complex(综合体) in Louisiana, which it described as “the perfect site”. The 50,000 hectares (125,000 acres) area will host ten launchpads for the firm’s gigantic(巨大的) Starship rocket, which is vital for(对……至关重要) its plan to put thousands of data centres into space. There was little detail about how SpaceX would spend the $100bn, nor a timetable for reaching its goal of launching the first Starship from the site in 2029.(关于SpaceX将如何花费这1000亿美元,以及到2029年从该地点发射首枚星舰的目标时间表,几乎没有细节。)

The yields(收益率) on American long-dated government bonds stabilised after a choppy(动荡的) week. The yields on 30-year bonds recently reached their highest levels since 2007, before a surprise intervention(干预) from the Treasury, through which(通过它) it doubled its bond repurchases(回购). That had the immediate effect of pushing yields lower, though they climbed soon after as investors questioned the wisdom of the plan. Speculation increased that Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, would increase the size of the bond buy-backs by tapping(动用) the Treasury’s General Account, held at the Federal Reserve.
美国长期国债收益率在动荡一周后趋于稳定。30年期国债收益率近期达到2007年以来的最高水平,随后财政部出人意料地进行干预,将债券回购规模翻倍。这立即压低了收益率,但不久后收益率再次攀升,因为投资者质疑该计划的明智性。市场猜测财政部长斯科特·贝森特将通过动用存放在美联储的财政部总账户来扩大债券回购规模。
It’s all wrong but it’s all right
