基本内容 鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔会议中转鸽来的毫无预兆，且一些言论与 7 月 FOMC 记者发布会的表态背道而驰。在对经济的回 顾与展望中，鲍威尔对于劳动力市场的观点产生了 180 度转变，开始极度担忧就业下行风险。 这种参考系的转变与 7 月不降息十分类似，很难用单纯的经济数据变化来解释，或许证明了特朗普对联储的政治高压 终于取得回报。 尽管联储对于 2025 年的降息预期一直保持在2 次（50bp），但这次如此清晰的鸽派信号，加强的不仅仅是9 月降息 25bp， 更是年内连续降息的可能。 我们想提醒的是，偏宽松的货币政策环境和偏鸽派的政策框架的副作用是不容忽视的；美国未来更难控制的通胀动态。 大幅降息后，一个再加速的美国经济必然面临着更高的通胀中枢；今年更"滞"，明年更"胀"。这也意味着美国对于 AI 科技大幅提升生产效率的的押注必须延续，某种程度上这是美国的国家意志。 风险提示 1）特朗普的政策不确定性加大，带来金融市场更明显的动荡和海外资金更快逃离美元。2）全球经济在关税越发明确 的情况下受到更大影响，下半年全球同步宽松幅度超预期，甚至带来全球共振扩表，明显缓解长端利率压力。3）技 术突破带来制造业回流加 ...

美联储主席鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔央行年会上发表重磅讲话，认为当前的形势意味着就业面临的下行风险 上升。这种风险平衡的转变可能意味着需要降息。 鲍威尔在演讲开头就指出，今年，美联储实现就业和通胀双重使命面临的"风险平衡似乎正在发生转 变。" 他认为，当前经济状况对货币政策的影响是： "失业率和其他劳动力市场指标的稳定使我们能谨慎考虑政策立场的调整。然而，由于政策 处于限制性区间，基准前景和不断变化的风险平衡可能需要我们调整政策立场。" 关于劳动力市场，鲍威尔表示： "总体来看，劳动力市场虽处于平衡，但这是一种因劳动力供需双双大幅放缓所致的'奇特平 衡'。这种异常形势暗示就业的下行风险正在增加。" 关于关税对通胀的影响，鲍威尔说，一种"合理的基准假设"是，关税会导致物价水平"一次性"上涨，但 这些影响需要时间才能完全体现在经济中。 综合各种影响因素来看，鲍威尔认为： "短期内，通胀风险偏向上行，就业风险偏向下行——这是一个有挑战的局面。" 对于货币政策框架调整，鲍威尔指出，新的政策框架删除了两项表述：一是美联储寻求通胀在一段时间 内达到平均2%的目标；二是以"偏离充分就业水平"作为决策依据。 货币政策与美联储框架审查 ...
