首先，美联储最近一次降息是在2025年12月，下调了25个基点。整个2025年，美联储累计降息三次，每 次均为25个基点，目前基准利率区间已降至3.5%至3.75%。 不过，此次降息与以往明显不同，存在极大分歧。在9位投票成员中，有3位投了反对票，反对比例达到 三分之一。 这种情况在过去三十多年里从未出现过，足以说明市场对美国当前经济状况及现有经济决策存在巨大争 议。 之所以会产生如此大的分歧，核心原因在于两方面考量：一是通胀，二是就业。 要知道，高利率政策有助于抑制通胀，而降息则可能导致通胀反弹。 尽管目前通胀水平已接近2%的目标，但未来仍可能出现小幅通胀走势。众多观点认为，这种通胀态势 或许会固化，进而推动整体消费指数持续上升。 再看就业情况，从近几个月的数据来看，就业市场呈现下滑趋势。 我是袁sir，我写了一本《我的EB5移民观》，还有一套《EB5专业课程视频合集》，带您深入了解 EB5。还有一个EB5交流群，免费的， 每天都会在群里分享EB5各行业的最新资讯。评论区留言，拉您 入群。 EB5移民 新鸿护航 在"保通胀"与"保就业"的两难选择中，美联储最终倾向于保障就业——通过降息激活市场活力，让民众 ...
