德银：拿到美联储理事会“多数席位”，特朗普可以做什么？

Core Viewpoint - Deutsche Bank suggests that if Trump successfully gains control of the Federal Reserve Board with four dovish votes, it could lead to aggressive monetary easing policies and allow for unilateral actions to lower the Interest Rate on Reserve Balances (IORB), bypassing the FOMC's decisions [1][3][12] Group 1: Control of the Federal Reserve Board - Trump's administration is seeking to gain control of the Federal Reserve Board by dismissing Governor Cook, which would enable the implementation of aggressive monetary policies [3][6] - Following the resignation of Governor Kuger, Trump has garnered increasing support for dovish monetary policies within the committee [4] - If Trump appoints a candidate favoring significant rate cuts to replace Cook, the power dynamics within the Board will change dramatically, potentially leading to a majority of dovish votes [6][7] Group 2: Impact on Monetary Policy - The emergence of four stable dovish votes within the Board would significantly increase internal pressure for faster and larger rate cuts, even amidst high inflation data [7][12] - The Board's majority could utilize its power to unilaterally lower the IORB, which has historically been aligned with FOMC targets, thus challenging the traditional decision-making framework [9][10] - This unilateral action could lead to unprecedented dynamics in the money market, creating potential chaos and directly impacting the FOMC's traditional decision-making process [11] Group 3: Restructuring the FOMC - The majority within the Federal Reserve Board also holds the long-term power to reshape the composition of the FOMC voting members, as all 12 regional Federal Reserve Presidents require Board approval for reappointment every five years [12][13] - A Board majority seeking aggressive easing could veto the reappointment of hawkish regional Fed Presidents, gradually eliminating opposing voices and paving the way for long-term easing policies [13]
