在特朗普近一年的持续攻击下，美联储正承受重压。这位美国总统的辱骂、解雇美联储主席鲍威尔的威胁、试图解雇美联储理事库克的持续行动，以及为减 轻政府债务成本而明确要求降息——除此之外，财政部长贝森特还指控美联储自金融危机以来越权行事。 在此背景下，彼得森国际经济研究所（Peterson Institute for International Economics）上周举办的央行独立性主题会议，时机再好不过。这场会议值得称 道：既没有过度恐慌，也没有不切实际地为美联储的所有举措辩护。 所有参会者一致认为，独立性本身不应是目标；货币政策制定免受政治干预的权利，只有靠"结果"才能证明其合理性。对央行官员而言，这已是最令人安心 的共识。 经济学家分歧加剧 美联储曾放任美国银行"大到不能倒"、涉足气候政策，还监管出10%的通胀率——正因如此，不少经济学家支持贝森特的观点：美联储过去的糟糕决策凸显 其独立性过强，应当加以约束。例如，胡佛研究所的约翰·科克伦（John Cochrane）认为，美联储若要独立于政府运作，必须承担更有限的使命，且问责机 制需大幅强化。 他的观点引发了哈佛大学教授、前财政部长拉里·萨默斯（Larry ...

Trump," which has generated significant uncertainty among legal and trade experts [2][3] - Predictions about the outcome are varied, with some experts suggesting a 50% to 65% chance that the Court will side with lower courts, ruling that the President lacks this power [2][3] - The case revolves around the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, which allows the President to declare economic emergencies but does not explicitly mention tariffs as a remedy [2][3] Industry Implications - Trump's administration has utilized the IEEPA to justify a range of tariffs on global goods, citing issues from fentanyl to trade imbalances, leading to potential financial repercussions if the ruling is unfavorable [3][6] - The uncertainty surrounding the tariffs reflects broader concerns about the Republican Party's readiness to counter Trump's tariff strategy, especially after recent Senate votes to terminate tariffs on goods from Brazil and Canada [4][5] - The stakes of the Supreme Court's decision extend beyond trade policy, potentially establishing a precedent for the use of emergency powers to bypass Congress in governance [7]
