早上好！先来看看美联储最新消息。 明尼阿波利斯联储主席尼尔.卡什卡利最新表示，美国经济增速正在放缓，可能使得短期内降息成为合适的政策选择。 当地时间周三(8月6日)，卡什卡利接受采访时说道："经济增速正在放缓。短期内，开始调整联邦基金利率可能是合适的。" 他补充道，关税仍是一个重大的不确定性，目前尚不清楚它们将对通胀产生何种影响，"我们还能等多久才能看清关税的效应？这正是我现在所忧 虑的"。 卡什卡利称，短期内，降息这一选项可能比干等关税明朗化要更好，即使之后可能要"朝反方向调整"，即加息。 他表示自己仍预计年底前将降息两次，但补充说，如果有迹象表明关税引发的通胀效应可能更持久，那么决策者可能会减少降息次数。 当天，旧金山联储主席戴利表示，考虑到劳动力市场放缓以及她评估认为关税对通胀仅构成短期威胁，她认为美联储将很快需要降息。"在没有关 税的情况下，通胀一直在逐步下降，随着经济增速放缓以及货币政策仍然具有抑制性，通胀应会继续下降。"她补充说，尽管关税将在短期内推高 通胀，但不太可能持续产生影响。与此同时，劳动力市场已经疲软。"我认为进一步的放缓将是令人担忧的，一旦劳动力市场出现动摇，它往往会 迅速而严重地下滑 ...
