记者丨孙长忠（清华大学全球私募股权研究院研究员） 作为美联储密切关注的更基础的通胀指标，剔除住房后的超级核心通胀2025年12月环比增长 约0.3%，较前值放缓，同比增长约2.7%，比2025年11月略有上升（1年前约为4%），均处于 疫情以来最低区域，而剔除住房后的整个核心CPI仅增长0.1%，说明通胀回归2%目标的"最后 一公里"虽然漫长，但总体趋势仍在延续。 美联储的决策依据不是CPI，而是美国商务部公布的PCE通胀数据。住房在CPI篮子中权重占 比33%，在核心CPI中占比近40%，但在PCE中仅占15%，PCE通胀数据通常低于CPI数据，预 计2025年12月仍将如此，考虑到上述住房因素，可能幅度更大。2025年和2024年年初通胀均 有所反弹和顽固，主要由于许多企业年初调整价格，再加天气因素，下一步1、2月份通胀数 据需继续关注。 美国通胀在高关税环境中相对温和再次挑战了经济学理论。经济学基本逻辑认为，提高关税 会增加进口商品价格，通常会带来一次性的通胀上行，实际却更为复杂。美国关税冲击会增 加美国经济不确定性，削弱企业投资意愿和消费者信心，造成需求下降，价格自然面临下行 如果说2025年11月因 ...
