通过前美联储副主席、现任Pimco高级顾问 Richard Clarida 的观点，文章暗示， 美联储将密切 关注劳动力市场的变化，将就业数据作为其决策的重要参考： "美联储不会因为预计经济放缓而提前降息，他们需要看到实际数据，尤其是在劳动力 市场。" 前美联储理事Lael Brainard也认为： "七年来，鲍威尔领导的美联储有一个等待非常确定的数据然后快速行动的记录。我认 为如果你看到劳动力市场明显恶化，美联储将准备行动。" Timiraos指出，美联储在设定利率时，有时会侧重于最大化最好的结果，例如在通胀下降时降 息；有时则会侧重于最小化最坏的结果，比如在2022-2023年为了抑制高通胀而激进加息，甚至 不惜牺牲经济增长。 文章强调，关税可能会迫使美联储"走上后一条道路"。 因为关税可能会在短期内推高物价，其不 确定性也会减缓经济活动，带来滞胀的苗头，这可能使美联储暂缓降息。 来源 | 华尔街见闻 在美联储本周四公布利率决议前夕，周一，有"新美联储通讯社"之称的知名财经记者Nick Timiraos发表最新报道，深度剖析了 美联储在应对特朗普政府"草率"关税政策时所面临的两难境 地，暗示美联储可能会暂 ...
