（原标题：英国央行宣布降息25个基点！多位经济学家预计：明年仍有降息空间） 12月18日，英国央行宣布下调基准利率（"银行利率"）25个基点。 这是英国央行年内第四次降息，也是自2024年8月降息周期开启以来第六次降息。基准利率从去年最高 5.25%降至当前的3.75%。对于明年，多位经济学家预测，英国央行仍有较大降息空间。 英国央行基准利率走势（2003年至今） 为什么降息？ 根据英国央行发布的声明，该国通胀指标——消费物价指数（CPI）自上次会议以来已下降至3.2%。尽 管高于2%目标水平，但预计短期内将更快回落。通胀放缓反映出此前限制性货币政策已经产生效果， 并且与经济增长放缓和劳动力市场空间增加的证据相符。此外，工资增长和服务价格通胀持续放缓。 英国央行认为，与上次会议相比，通胀持续的风险有所减弱，而需求疲软带来的中期风险依然存在。货 币政策旨在确保中期CPI通胀在2%内可持续稳定，因此需要在实现通胀目标时平衡风险。 对于未来，货币政策进一步宽松的程度将取决于通胀前景的演变。自2024年8月以来，银行利率下调了 150个基点，政策的限制性有所下降。根据现有证据，银行利率很可能继续以渐进的下降轨迹走下去 ...

智通财经APP获悉，芝加哥联储主席古尔斯比对11月通胀报告予以肯定，称这份报告显示物价压力正逐 步缓解，其中包含"诸多积极信号"。 美国劳工统计局周四早些时候发布的数据显示，美国核心通胀同比增速回落至2021年初以来的最低水 平。截至11月，美国整体消费者物价指数(CPI)同比上涨2.7%，较截至9月的3%涨幅有所收窄。不过经 济学家提醒，政府停摆事件导致这些数据的准确性受到干扰。 古尔斯比指出，若未来就业市场保持稳定，且通胀走势持续向美联储目标靠拢，他将对"适度"降息持开 放态度。 "虽然这仅是单月数据，我们不应过度解读单月波动，但11月的数据确实可圈可点，"古尔斯比周四在接 受采访时如此表示。 在美联储11月议息会议上，多数委员投票支持降息，古尔斯比则持反对意见。他当时更倾向于维持利率 不变，核心顾虑在于通胀水平仍高于美联储设定的2%目标。此后古尔斯比进一步表态称，要确认通胀 已实质性回落至符合降息条件的水平，还需等待更多经济数据佐证。 ...
