金十数据5月2日讯，Principal资产管理公司t首席全球策略师Seema Shah表示，我们可以将对经济衰退的 担忧再推迟一个月。就业数据仍然非常强劲，这表明在关税冲击之前，经济存在令人印象深刻的弹性。 这表明，经济疲软可能在几个月内不会真正体现在数据中，这反过来又会将美联储的下一次降息时点推 至第三季度。经济将在未来几个月疲软，但凭借现在这种潜在的势头，如果美国能够及时从关税边缘退 下来，就有可能避免经济衰退。 机构：就目前而言，美国经济衰退已经推迟了 ...

进口激增是关键因素之一，企业为了应对关税提前囤货，导致进口数据从GDP中被大量扣除。理论上， 这应该被库存增加所抵消，但奇怪的是，数据并未显示这一点。S&P Global的经济学家Ben Herzon估 计，如果没有商务部经济分析局的假设，GDP实际上可能萎缩1.5%，而非0.3%。 有分析指出 ，尽管关税问题引发了广泛讨论，但目前几乎没有关税成本真正传导到美国消费者身上。 零售商目前正努力维持价格稳定，这或许是因为他们希望特朗普会进一步做出让步。 美国第一季度GDP数据意外萎缩0.3%令人失望，然而，这一数据尚未充分反映出特朗普关税政策、联 邦政府削减开支以及移民政策的深远影响。市场正密切关注周五（今晚）公布的4月非农就业报告，这 将是自特朗普于4月2日宣布对等关税政策以来的首个关键"硬数据"，其重要性不言而喻。 华尔街分析师预计，4月非农新增就业人数为13.3万，虽比前几个月有所减少，但仍处于健康的状态， 失业率将维持在4.2%的水平。而根据ADP此前公布的数据，私营企业就业仅增长6.2万，ADP的预测通 常与实际数据相差较大。 美银分析师Michael Hartnett表示，只要就业数据保持韧性，降低关 ...
