新任美联储主席提名人选终于揭晓。 2006年2月，年仅35岁的他在时任美国总统布什提名下成为美联储理事，创下美联储史上最年轻理事纪 录。此前，他在摩根士丹利从事并购业务7年，后在白宫担任总统经济政策特别助理。 金融危机期间，沃什成为时任美联储主席伯南克与华尔街的关键联络人。然而，他的政策立场却引发争 议，在2008年金融危机期间美国劳动力市场崩溃时，他仍主张尽早结束量化宽松，优先关注通胀风险而 非刺激经济。最终，他在2011年3月辞职，比原定任期提前7年。 据新华社报道，美国总统特朗普30日提名美联储前理事凯文·沃什为下任美联储主席，这一提名还需获 得参议院批准。 消息传出后，市场震荡。1月30日美股盘前，美股股指期货集体下挫。 市场反应如此剧烈的原因在于：这位曾被认为是坚定"鹰派"的美联储前理事，如何成为呼吁大幅降息的 特朗普提名的最终人选? 鹰派还是鸽派？ 55岁的凯文·沃什并非美联储新面孔。这位华尔街出身的前美联储理事，在2008年金融危机期间展现 出"鹰派"姿态。 离开美联储后，沃什转战学界和商界，担任斯坦福大学胡佛研究所访问学者，同时出任UPS等多家公司 董事。 但近年来，沃什的立场似乎悄然转鸽，公 ...

智通财经APP获悉，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在其Truth Social平台上发文表示，他打算提名凯文·沃什担 任下一任美联储主席。 "我认识凯文很长时间了，毫无疑问他将成为最伟大的美联储主席之一，也许是最好的，"特朗普写 道，"最重要的是，他完全符合理想形象，绝不会让你失望。" 沃什曾于2006年至2011年担任美联储理事会成员，此前曾担任特朗普的经济政策顾问。他将接替杰罗姆 ·鲍威尔，后者的主席任期将于五月结束。这对55岁的沃什而言是一次回归，在2017年时，特朗普曾放 弃选择沃什，转而任命鲍威尔担任这一最高职位。 如果获得参议院确认，这位前美联储理事将在关键时刻执掌美国货币政策。当前，许多经济学家和投资 者认为，美联储传统上独立于选举官员的自主权正受到白宫的威胁。沃什在2025年公开主张降低利率， 与特朗普立场保持一致，这与其长期以来作为"通胀鹰派"的名声相悖。 在美联储任职期间，沃什始终对通胀保持警惕，并经常支持提高利率。然而去年，他附和了特朗普的观 点，认为利率可以大幅降低。降息的意愿被视为对下一任主席的试金石，这让美联储观察人士担心，这 会削弱央行的独立性。 沃什的当选并不保证美联储的政策会发生变化 ...

随着多位强硬的"鹰派"成员手握投票权，无论谁掌舵美联储，都将面对一个全新的、更具抵抗力的决策 委员会。 美国总统特朗普最早可能在本周宣布下一任美联储主席的提名人选，他已发出信号，要求获提名者必须 推动大幅降息。然而，无论特朗普选中谁，都将面对一个新的决策委员会，且这个委员会对大幅降息的 抵触情绪可能更强。 每年年初，12位地区联储主席中有四位会轮换进入具有影响力的利率决策委员会，并在接下来的八次政 策会议中拥有投票权。今年的轮换名单包括达拉斯联储主席洛根、克利夫兰联储主席哈玛克、费城联储 主席保尔森以及明尼阿波利斯联储主席卡什卡利。纽约联储主席以及包括美联储主席在内的所有七名美 联储理事会成员拥有永久投票权。 在最新的公开评论中，洛根和哈玛克都表达了担忧，指出这已经是通胀率连续第五年徘徊在美联储2% 的目标之上了。这意味着她们不太可能在短期内投票支持降息，因为降息可能会刺激支出并增加物价压 力。 美联储官员将于北京时间周四三点公布利率决议，外界普遍预计他们将维持利率不变。在去年12月，美 联储官员预测2026年仅会有一次降息。 尽管劳动力市场疲软导致美联储去年三次降息，但特朗普的关税政策以及可能征收的额外关税 ...

2025 年 12 月 9 日，美 国华盛顿哥伦比亚特区，马里纳・S・埃克尔斯联邦储备委员会大楼正在进行翻修工程。该大楼是美国 联邦储备系统理事会的主要办公场所。 每年年初，美联储 12 家地区性储备银行的行长中，会有 4 位轮流进入美联储极具影响力的利率制定委 员会，担任接下来八次政策会议的投票委员。本年度的新任投票委员为达拉斯联储行长洛里・洛根、克 利夫兰联储行长贝丝・哈马克、费城联储行长安娜・保尔森以及明尼阿波利斯联储行长尼尔・卡什卡 里。纽约联储行长，以及包括美联储主席在内的美联储理事会全部 7 名成员，则拥有永久投票权。 洛根与哈马克在近期公开表态中均坦言，通胀率已连续五年高于美联储设定的 2% 目标，这一状况令二 人深感担忧。 所谓的 "通胀鹰派" 投资者与经济学家将支持严控通胀政策的央行官员称为 "鹰派"，而那些更关注劳动力市场状况的官员 则被称作 "鸽派"。这也就意味着，相较于委员会中的鸽派成员，鹰派人士支持降息的可能性更低。 美联储肩负着国会赋予的双重使命：稳定物价与促进充分就业。然而，自特朗普政府去年推出一系列大 规模经济政策后，这两大目标同时受到威胁，美联储的政策平衡工作也随之变得错综复 ...
