管理着 8.370 亿美元资产的 PGIM Fixed Income 公司联席首席投资官 Gregory Peters 的建议，也反映出 市场的谨慎态度。他明确表示，建议投资者继续保持谨慎，降低风险。在当前经济形势不明朗、市场焦 虑情绪未散的情况下，投资者采取保守的投资策略是较为明智的选择。降低风险可以帮助投资者避免因 市场波动带来的损失，保护资产安全。例如，投资者可能会减少对高风险资产的投资，增加对国债等相 对安全资产的配置;或者调整投资组合的结构，使其更加多元化，以分散风险。 分析师团队认为，美联储对通胀的预期是其决策的关键因素。目前，美联储预计通胀将保持坚挺态势。 尽管市场环境复杂多变，但通胀水平在经济运行中始终占据重要地位。过高或过低的通胀都会对经济稳 定造成不利影响，而美联储的职责之一便是维持物价稳定。当美联储判断通胀将持续处于较高水平时， 会更加谨慎地调整货币政策，避免因不当操作引发更严重的通胀问题。 此外，关税冲击带来的持续通胀效应也不容忽视。自特朗普推行一系列关税政策以来，全球贸易格局发 生巨大转变。关税的增加直接导致进口商品价格上升，企业生产成本提高。这些成本压力最终会传导至 消费者端，推动 ...
