国泰海通:通胀温和,等待降息
Ge Long Hui· 2025-09-12 09:11
Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that the CPI growth in August has rebounded due to food and energy, but the slow transmission of tariffs and stable service inflation suggest that inflation will not hinder the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in the short term [1][2] - The August CPI in the U.S. showed a year-on-year increase of 2.9% (previous value 2.7%, expected 2.9%) and a month-on-month increase of 0.4% (previous value 0.2%, expected 0.3%) [1] - Core CPI remained stable with a year-on-year increase of 3.1% and a month-on-month increase of 0.3%, aligning with market expectations [1] Group 2 - Core goods saw a month-on-month increase from 0.2% to 0.3%, primarily driven by a rebound in used car prices (from 0.5% to 1.0%) [1] - The transmission of tariffs remains slow, with core goods excluding used cars maintaining a month-on-month growth rate of 0.17%, unchanged from July [1][2] - Service inflation remained stable, with rental inflation being the main contributor, although its sustainability is questionable [2] Group 3 - Short-term focus is expected to remain on employment risks rather than inflation, as the slow transmission of tariffs and stable service inflation indicate that inflation will not be a constraint for the Federal Reserve's rate cuts [2] - The labor market's ongoing weakness has not disrupted the consensus on a soft landing, with the market currently favoring rate cut trades rather than recession trades [2] - Concerns about the U.S. inflation pressure persisting after rate cuts need to be monitored, despite the current demand-side weakness slowing tariff transmission [2]

国泰海通|宏观:加关税:影响了多少美国通胀
Core Viewpoint - The actual tariff implementation in the US during the first half of the year was less than expected, leading to a moderate rise in inflation. The average import tariff rate is expected to increase in the second half, potentially accelerating price increases by companies, which may result in a "slow heating" inflation scenario in the US [1][3]. Tariff Policy - As of June, the actual average import tariff rate in the US increased by only 6.6 percentage points compared to the end of 2024, which is significantly below market expectations. The low tariff collection is attributed to changes in import structure and a low proportion of taxable goods. The average import tariff rate is expected to rise further in the second half of the year due to the implementation of new tariff rates and gradual enforcement of industry tariffs [1][2]. Overseas Exporters - The US import price index, which reflects the dollar prices paid by importers excluding tariffs, shows no significant decline in import prices for most goods since the implementation of reciprocal tariffs in April. Although overseas exporters may lower prices due to a weaker dollar since 2025, the extent of this price reduction may be offset by the dollar's depreciation. Overall, US import costs have not shown a significant decline, and the burden of tariff costs primarily falls on US companies and consumers [2]. US Companies - As of June, US companies bore approximately 63% of the tariff costs, while consumers accounted for less than 40%. As inventory is gradually consumed and trade policy uncertainty decreases, companies are expected to continue raising prices. However, given the current sensitivity of consumers to prices, companies may still need to absorb a significant portion of the tariff costs [2]. Consumer Inflation - Certain goods, such as auto parts, new cars, clothing, and furniture, have a high dependency on imports. However, the transmission of tariffs to prices for new cars, clothing, personal care items, and other durable goods remains limited. If the average import tariff rate in the US rises by 10% within the year, and demand remains stable, tariffs could push the PCE year-on-year growth rate to 3.1% and the core PCE growth rate to 3.4%. Conversely, a significant drop in demand could alleviate inflationary pressures in the US [3].

Group 1 - The core CPI in the US for July 2025 ended a five-month streak of underperformance, with a month-on-month increase of 0.2%, aligning with expectations, while core CPI rose by 0.32% [1] - The US economy is facing uncertainties, with signs of weakening consumer market momentum and cautious corporate investment, leading to speculation that the Federal Reserve may consider interest rate cuts despite current inflation data [1] - Market expectations have shifted towards a "rate cut anticipation leading to a reinforced soft landing expectation," resulting in declines in the 2-year Treasury yield and the dollar index, while 10-year TIPS, 10-year Treasury yields, and US stocks have risen [1] Group 2 - The July PPI data indicates that tariff pressures may have been transmitted to US wholesalers, with a month-on-month increase of 0.95%, significantly exceeding the expected 0.2%, and core PPI rising by 0.92%, the highest since 2022 [2] - The impact of tariffs on wholesale, retail, and end-consumer prices remains uncertain, and the market's expectation for a September rate cut is not guaranteed due to the variability in data quality [2] - In optimistic scenarios, the Federal Reserve may cut rates twice this year, while in pessimistic scenarios, only once in October; looking ahead to mid-2026, a new Fed chair may lead to a more accommodative monetary policy with potential rate cuts ranging from 4 to 6 times next year [2] Group 3 - Prior to the September FOMC meeting, the dollar index and 2-year Treasury yield are expected to rise, reflecting a correction of overly optimistic rate cut expectations [3] - Following the September FOMC, market bets on rate cuts in 2026 are anticipated to increase, with concerns about the Fed's independence and debt sustainability likely to widen the yield spread between 2-year and 10-year Treasuries [3] - Recent discussions between Trump and Putin regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict may enhance short-term market risk appetite, potentially leading to downward pressure on gold prices as safe-haven sentiment diminishes [3]
