根据近期公开表态，负责制定利率的联邦公开市场委员会成员在是否调整利率的问题上几乎势均力敌。今年拥有投票权的12位官员中，已有5位倾向于在12 月维持利率不变，而其他成员则表现出不同的倾向。例如，纽约联储主席威廉姆斯近期释放了支持降息的信号，而美联储理事沃勒、鲍曼等人则在之前的会 议中对维持利率的决定提出异议。 随着12月政策会议临近，美联储内部关于利率政策的讨论愈发激烈，官员们对未来行动的意见呈现明显分化。与此同时，主席鲍威尔保持沉默，令市场对政 策走向的判断更加扑朔迷离。 官员立场分化，政策方向难达共识 这种分歧并非偶然。自今年6月以来，美联储尚未达成过一次全员一致的投票结果。分析认为，这种局面反映了政策制定者在平衡劳动力市场支持与通胀控 制两大目标时的艰难抉择。此外，此前政府停摆导致多项关键经济数据发布延迟，也削弱了官员们依据共同信息基础达成共识的能力。 从历史角度看，美联储内部出现意见分歧并不罕见。在1980年代为遏制高通胀而大幅加息，以及1990年代对通胀持续担忧的时期，委员会内部都曾出现较多 的异议投票。一些经济学家指出，当前的分歧可能具有积极意义。前美联储经济学家克劳迪娅·萨姆认为，鲍威尔保持沉默 ...
