近期，美联储政策制定面临数十年未见的复杂局面。其双重目标——就业最大化与物价稳定之间出现明 显冲突，导致内部关于利率路径的分歧持续加深。有分析指出，这一状况可能延续至2026年。 德意志银行美国经济研究主管表示，尽管存在分歧，美联储今年仍完成了三次利率下调。然而，若未来 通胀持续而就业市场疲软，新任主席凝聚共识的难度将加大。虽然进一步调整利率可能是主要方向，但 也存在委员会更倾向收紧政策的风险。 随着就业数据进一步变化，美联储在秋季为利率下调做了铺垫。但由于政府数据发布一度中断，决策者 部分依赖民间数据评估，尤其在通胀测量方面面临挑战。 至今年末，政策分歧更加明显。尽管实现了第三次利率下调，但三名委员投下反对票——两人因担心通 胀而希望维持利率，另一人则支持更大幅度下调。另有六位非投票委员也倾向暂不调整。目前，对关税 引发的通胀走势判断仍不一致：有观点认为压力将在明年一季度见顶回落，也有委员担心其可能更具持 续性。 进入新一年，在已完成三次利率下调且通胀仍高于目标的情况下，政策委员会暗示将进入观察期，再考 虑后续行动。近期有通胀指标显示涨幅放缓，但因数据统计曾受中断影响，其准确性受到部分委员质 疑。目前失业率 ...

博斯蒂克还透露，在美联储12月政策会议上，他不仅倾向于维持利率不变，而且建议在整个2026年都保 持这一水平，理由是经济顺风可能继续给通胀带来上行压力。 他写到："在权衡了所有考虑因素之后，仍然认为价格稳定是更清晰、更紧迫的风险。几乎看不到任何 迹象表明物价压力会在最早2026年中后期之前消散，预计即使到2026年底，通胀仍将高于2.5%。" 今日周三(12月17日)亚盘时段，白银期货目前交投于15292一线上方，今日开盘于14690元/千克，截至发 稿，白银期货暂报15436元/千克，上涨4.54%，最高触及15477元/千克，最低下探14619元/千克，目前来 看，白银期货盘内短线偏向看涨走势。 【要闻速递】 亚特兰大联储主席博斯蒂克周三发表文章称，美联储应继续关注解决通胀问题，预计高企的物价压力将 持续到明年大部分时间。 在劳动力方面，他表示，虽然劳动力需求正在降温，但严重的劳动力市场衰退并非是最有可能出现的情 景。 【最新白银期货行情解析】 沪银行情强势上涨，布林带收口，显示上涨动能减弱，但处于上涨轨道之中，银价高位震荡。沪银溢价 维持至340元/克。高位银价将继续震荡。沪银主力合约参考运行区间142 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent market decline is attributed to a combination of external sentiment, internal structural changes, and seasonal factors, rather than signaling the end of a bull market [4] Group 1: External Market Sentiment - The first wave of decline is driven by global market sentiment, particularly a pullback in U.S. tech stocks, as investors reassess the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies [3] - High valuations and crowded trades in tech growth stocks are leading to initial sell-offs, triggering a domino effect of fear across global markets [3] Group 2: Internal Structural Changes - The second wave of decline is due to a "high-low switch" in internal funding structures, with a lack of strong policy or industry catalysts leading to profit-taking as the year ends [3] - This behavior of "locking in profits" amplifies market volatility, particularly affecting previously high-performing sectors [3] Group 3: Seasonal Factors - The third wave of decline is influenced by year-end seasonal effects, where institutional funds require position adjustments and profit-taking, leading to increased market fluctuations [3] Group 4: Investment Strategy - The current market situation is viewed as a healthy "stress test" and style rebalancing, emphasizing the importance of focusing on company fundamentals and growth certainty [4] - Investors are advised to maintain patience and concentrate on high-quality assets, rather than reacting impulsively to short-term market movements [4][5] - Long-term investment focus should remain on the competitiveness and growth potential of held companies, viewing short-term volatility as a minor obstacle [5]
