特约评论员 黄亚南 在美联储降息后，日本央行也公布了9月利率决议的声明。据央视新闻报道，日本央行在9月19日召开的 货币政策会议上决定，维持当前0.5%左右的政策利率不变。在美联储重启降息周期的背景下，美日货 币政策方向差异再度显现。 美联储在9月的货币政策委员会FOMC会后公布降息0.25%。这是美联储今年来首次决定降息，但正如美 联储主席鲍威尔所强调的那样这次降息决定是一次艰难的决定。从今年以来，美联储一直面临着核心通 胀持续，劳动力市场走弱以及美国政府要求降息压力强化的三座大山，想要面面俱到地处理好绝非易 事。 一般来说，如果经济增长放缓，就业形势就会减弱，通胀率可能会下降。在这种情况下，为了稳定物价 和就业最大化，美联储通常会通过降息来应对。然而，美国经济现状却出现了异常情况。在长期通胀预 期像磐石一样稳固的状态下，美国关税政策也给美国物价带来了压力。美国8月的个人消费支出指数 （PCE）同比上升2.7%，预计核心PCE同比上升2.9%。FOMC与会者还预计，今年第四季度美国PCE将 同比上升3.0%，这些都明显高于2%的目标。而且，鲍威尔表示，美国企业将关税成本转嫁到大宗商品 价格的举动将从今年下半 ...

虽然日本央行一直在寻找加息的时机，只要经济和物价形势有所改善就加息，但已经连续四次会议维持 现有政策，这主要是因为美国的关税政策给日本经济和物价带来极大的不确定性。虽然8月份的日本消 费者物价指数上升2.7%，时隔9个月跌到3%以下，但日本央行内部有很多意见认为，需要在分析下个月 的企业短期经济观察调查和分行行长会议的报告后才能确认经济的走势。 尽管如此，市场还是认为日本央行会在今年10月或者12月，最迟到明年1月决定加息。虽然到10月初自 民党将选出怎样的新总裁还是一个不确定因素，但美国关税对日本经济带来的影响已经开始显现，比如 今年8月日本对美汽车出口额同比下降了28%，日本对美出口整体下降了13.8%。市场预测日本企业的业 绩将会进一步下滑，而企业员工的薪资增长势头能不能继续保持也会出现问题。所以，日本证券市场很 可能因为政治和经济因素而在10月份出现调整局面，美联储这次降息决定给日本市场带来的短期拉动效 应也可能迅速消失，留下的是美日货币政策方向差异再度显现。 美联储的降息实际上也制约了日本央行加息的可能性，因为日本不希望看到日元汇率的巨幅震荡。但如 果日本央行维持现有政策的话，日元可能继续贬值。如果 ...
