美国费城联邦储备银行主席安娜·保尔森近期重申，如果通胀能够按照预期持续放缓，同时劳动力市场保持稳定，美联储可能在今年晚些时候进一步下调短 期利率。这一表态为市场理解未来货币政策路径提供了重要视角。 在通胀分析方面，保尔森指出，尽管截至去年九月的核心个人消费支出价格指数同比增幅仍处于百分之二点八，表面上去通胀化进程似乎有限，但内部结构 正在显现积极变化。她认为近期商品价格的回升主要源于关税上调的影响，这种影响更可能是一次性的价格水平调整，而非持续性的通胀压力。她预计关税 带来的价格变动将在今年上半年被市场基本消化，下半年商品通胀有望回归到与整体百分之二通胀目标相一致的水平。 SE In F t a r e t 保尔森在面向费城大商会活动准备的讲稿中阐述了她对经济前景的基准预期。她预计到今年年底，通胀率将回落至接近美联储设定的百分之二目标水平，与 此同时，就业市场趋于稳定，整体经济增速维持在百分之二左右。她形容这一展望"相当温和"。 在就业市场方面，保尔森强调劳动力市场"明显在放缓，但并未崩塌"。她指出就业领域的下行风险已经上升，这也是她支持联邦公开市场委去年采取降息行 动的重要原因。凯德北京投资基金分析师了解到 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in nickel prices is primarily driven by the tightening of nickel ore quotas in Indonesia, which has led to expectations of a global supply shortage [2][8]. Group 1: Market Analysis - On January 15, 2026, the main nickel futures contract opened at 143,000 CNY/ton and closed at 146,750 CNY/ton, reflecting a change of 4.08% from the previous trading day [2][8]. - The trading volume for the day was 1,738,133 contracts, an increase of 667,439 contracts, while the open interest decreased by 8,358 contracts to 101,617 [2][8]. - The price surge was influenced by the Indonesian Ministry of Energy's announcement of a 34% reduction in nickel ore quotas for 2026 compared to 2025, which is expected to tighten global nickel supply [2][8]. Group 2: Nickel Ore Market - The nickel ore market is currently stable, with the official benchmark price in Indonesia being raised, which supports market sentiment [3][9]. - The benchmark price for 1.6% grade nickel ore has been increased to 29.04 USD/wet ton, significantly higher than the previous half-month [9]. - The current trading atmosphere is relatively quiet, with market participants mainly executing prior orders rather than engaging in new transactions [9].
