美东时间周日，美联储主席鲍威尔在周日晚间发表了一段不同寻常的直接视频声明，确认美国哥伦比亚 特区联邦检察官办公室已就美联储华盛顿总部翻修相关事宜，对其启动刑事调查。 美国银行预测，美国司法部对鲍威尔的刑事调查并不能如特朗普所愿，迫使美联储降息，反而可能会令 美联储内部的鹰派人士更加坚定立场，使得美联储更难推进降息。 市场反应相对平淡 面对特朗普的刑事调查，鲍威尔强硬地回应，称这一行动"应当放在政府威胁和持续施压的更大背景下 来看"。 据美国银行的美国经济学家阿迪蒂亚·巴韦（Aditya Bhave）观察，这一消息带来的市场影响并不明 显，"市场基本上已经忽略了这一消息"——30 年期国债收益率仅上涨了约2个基点。 这种平淡的市场反应与去年夏天形成了鲜明对比——当时特朗普暗示可能撤换鲍威尔，引发了市场大幅 波动——按照美国银行所描述，当时的市场反应呈现出"截然不同的局面"。 去年夏天，当特朗普暗示可能撤换美联储主席人选后，30年期美债收益率在7月11日上涨了8个基点，7 月16日盘中又上涨了11个基点，不过随后有所回落。 美联储反而更难降息？ 美国银行认为，鲍威尔对特朗普的强硬回应"似乎增加了投资者认为他在5月 ...

美国12月核心消费者价格涨幅低于市场预期，进一步增强了市场对通胀正在降温的信心。当前，美联储正评估下一步利率政策走向。 美国劳工统计局周二公布的数据显示，美国12月未季调CPI年率录得2.7%，与11月持平，符合市场预期。 剔除食品和能源的核心CPI同比增长2.6%，低于预估的2.7%;环比增长0.2%，低于预估的0.3%。 住房成本为最大贡献单项 报告显示，住房成本作为通胀黏性的关键因素，当月上涨了0.4%，是月度涨幅的最大贡献项。该类别占CPI权重超过三分之一，同比上涨3.2%。 报告的其他部分也显示通货膨胀持续存在。 12月食品价格上涨0.7%，但鸡蛋价格暴跌8.2%，较去年同期下降近21%，此前鸡蛋价格曾大幅上涨。其他价格上涨的领域包括娱乐、机票和医疗保健。 部分对关税敏感的类别也出现上涨，其中服装价格有所上升。然而，由于前总统唐纳德·特朗普暂缓了对该领域进口商品加征关税的威胁，家居用品价格下 降了0.5%。 劳工统计局称，休闲娱乐支出增长1.2%，是该指数自1993年有记录以来的最大月度涨幅。 美联储设定的通胀年度目标为2%，因此这份报告提供了一些证据，表明物价上涨速度正朝着目标回落，但仍处于较高水 ...

智通财经APP获悉，中金公司发布研报称，美国12月CPI同比上涨2.7%，符合市场预期；核心CPI同比 2.6%，低于市场预期。从分项来看，食品价格大幅上涨，与关税相关的商品价格稳定，房租与非房租 核心通胀均明显反弹。回顾2025年，特朗普关税对通胀的传导比我们预期的更温和，主要通胀压力仍来 自于服务业。 往前看，需要关注此前选择自行消化成本、尚未提价的企业是否会补涨，以及服务业的韧性是否形成结 构性通胀压力。中金公司认为，对于美联储而言，温和的通胀数据不足以推动其1月再次降息，中金公 司维持1月按兵不动，下一次降息或在3月的判断。 中金公司主要观点如下： 美国12月CPI同比上涨2.7%，符合市场预期；核心CPI同比2.6%，低于市场预期。从分项来看，食品价 格大幅上涨，与关税相关的商品价格稳定，房租与非房租核心通胀均明显反弹。回顾2025年，特朗普关 税对通胀的传导比我们预期的更温和，主要通胀压力仍来自于服务业。往前看，需要关注此前选择自行 消化成本、尚未提价的企业是否会补涨，以及服务业的韧性是否形成结构性通胀压力。我们认为，对于 美联储而言，温和的通胀数据不足以推动其1月再次降息，我们维持1月按兵不动， ...
