戴利强调，仍坚信美联储能在不推升失业率的前提下将通胀率降回2%目标区间，若未能达成此目标将 构成政策失败。 美联储越来越多官员近期对进一步降息表达反对或担忧，认为通胀高企的原因包括受关税影响的商品， 以及国内服务业，担心若太快降息，而明年经济增长加快，将使美联储陷入两难。戴利则认为，美联储 不应因担忧日后可能需要逆转政策而延迟降息，而美联储官员间罕见的分歧，反映真实不确定性而非决 策失灵，若"此刻众人意见一致"，央行反而会陷入群体思维的错误，"我们的职责并非达成共识"。 智通财经APP获悉，美国旧金山联储主席戴利(Mary Daly)表示，她支持在美联储12月会议上降息，因为 就业市场突然恶化的可能性比通胀骤升更高，且更难应对。她周一接受媒体采访时指出，劳动力市场现 已非常脆弱，"存在发生非线性变化的风险"，不确定当局能否提前应对，相较之下，通胀爆发的风险较 低，因为关税驱动的成本上涨幅度低于今年较早时所预期。 有分析认为戴利言论意义重大，因其在公开场合鲜少偏离美联储主席鲍威尔的立场。戴利在2027年才在 联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)有投票权。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve is experiencing a significant divide among its officials regarding the potential for a rate cut in December, with one faction advocating for a cut to support a weakening job market, while another faction emphasizes the need to address persistent inflation above the 2% target [1][6][11]. Market Reactions - Investor sentiment is fluctuating due to the uncertainty surrounding the Fed's decision, with expectations for a December rate cut swinging dramatically based on new data and Fed comments [3][6][7]. - The probability of a rate cut dropped to 39% following comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell but later surged to over 70% after dovish remarks from New York Fed President John Williams [7][8]. Economic Indicators - The September jobs report revealed 119,000 jobs added, but the unemployment rate increased to 4.4%, the highest since October 2021, leading to differing interpretations among Fed officials [4][10]. - Fed officials are closely monitoring upcoming economic data, including a delayed retail sales report, which is expected to provide further insights into consumer spending [13].

Future Outlook - The Fed's decision in December will significantly impact borrowing costs, market sentiment, and the economic outlook for growth and inflation in 2026 [3][6]. - Analysts predict a "dovish hold" in December, meaning rates may remain unchanged but with indications of potential cuts in the future [14].

白宫内对此意见也不统一。 商务部长卢特尼克就"更倾向于解雇鲍威尔"，而财长贝森特则竭力劝阻。 这种内部分歧让局面更加复杂。 特朗普曾希望贝森特本人接任美联储主席，但贝森特因偏好现有职位而拒绝了。 这一切都围绕着同一个核心：特朗普试图通过政治力量影响货币政策，这 严重挑战了美联储的独立性传统。 央行独立性被认为是维持货币政策稳定和市场信心的基石。 更让美联储头疼的是经济数据"打架"。 刚公布的9月非农新增就业11.9万人，比市场预期的5万人高出一大截，看起来挺火热的。 同时失业率却从4.3%升到 了4.4%。 而且7月和8月的前值还被大幅下修了3.3万人。 这就像一个人一边说"我吃得特别多"，一边体重却在往下掉，让人搞不清真实状况。 雪上加霜的是数据"断粮"了。 因为之前的政府停摆，原本该公布的10月份非农数据，被推迟到12月美联储议息会议之后才能出来。 这意味着美联储下次开 会决定利率时，关键参考数据是缺失的，几乎等于"盲猜"。 克利夫兰联储主席哈玛克就直言，担心降息会偏离控制通胀的目标。 而美联储理事沃勒则持不 同看法，他更担忧就业市场持续放缓的风险，因此主张12月应继续降息。 这么一来，市场也懵了。 芝商 ...

智通财经APP获悉，周四发布的9月就业增长与失业率报告虽然揭示了就业市场的整体状况，但却依旧 未能明确美联储是否需要通过降息来支撑就业市场。 最新动态中，多位美联储官员转向鹰派，包括美联储理事迈克尔·巴尔、芝加哥联储主席奥斯坦·古尔斯 比都发出了对于通胀担忧的信号。 主要负责监管事务的巴尔很少发表关于货币政策的言论，并且对于货币政策前景的发言通常不附带任何 立场，但是他在当地时间周四表示，在考虑进一步降息时，美联储确实需要谨慎行事。古尔斯比则在印 第安纳波利斯的一次活动中表示，通胀"似乎已经停滞不前，甚至可以说有走错方向的警告信号。这让 我感到有些不安"。 国会赋予美联储的双重使命要求其同时维持低通胀与高就业。当前官员们对高通胀与大规模裁员威胁的 研判仍存在严重分歧——持续43天的政府停摆上周刚结束，导致决策所需关键数据大量延迟或缺失。 为抑制通胀，美联储今年多数时间维持基准利率不变，直至夏季就业市场突然放缓后，才在9月和10月 会议上分别降息25基点。在此数据空窗期，9月就业报告犹如微光乍现，却不足以让委员会中的"鹰 派"或"鸽派"占据绝对上风。 该报告的局限性显而易见：首先数据存在时滞——统计期后美联储已 ...
