近期资本市场高歌猛进，迎来了重大利好。美联储主席鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔全球央行年会上发表了鸽派 讲话，明确表示9月份降息的可能性非常大。此前，鲍威尔一直谨慎，未明确暗示9月份会降息。然而， 当前美国非农就业数据下降，特别是美国劳工局大幅下调了5月和6月的就业数据，这让特朗普非常恼 火，当场解雇了美国劳工局局长。此外，特朗普近期还对另一位美联储理事发起免职威胁，试图换上支 持降息的理事，给鲍威尔施加压力。 鲍威尔看到当前美国CPI已降至2.5%，通胀压力不大，而经济数据也出现明显下降，此时不降息显得不 近人情。因此，他发表鸽派言论，让市场相信9月份美联储降息25个基点几乎板上钉钉。而且年底前还 有两次议息会议，预计每次降息25个基点，总共可能降息75个基点。目前美国联邦基准利率为 4.25%~4.5%，若降息75个基点，将降至3.5%~3.75%，进入"三字头"区间。 这对美国政府的还债压力将大大减轻，同时也会对全球央行形成示范效应。美联储被视为全球央行，其 一举一动都会影响全球央行的举措。一旦美联储开启今年的降息周期，将带动更多央行降息。中国央行 也将有更大的货币政策空间，可能会再次降息降准，以提振经济，稳住楼市 ...
