美联储主席鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔央行年会上发表重磅讲话，认为当前的形势意味着就业面临的下行风险 上升。这种风险平衡的转变可能意味着需要降息。 鲍威尔在演讲开头就指出，今年，美联储实现就业和通胀双重使命面临的"风险平衡似乎正在发生转 变。" 他认为，当前经济状况对货币政策的影响是： "失业率和其他劳动力市场指标的稳定使我们能谨慎考虑政策立场的调整。然而，由于政策 处于限制性区间，基准前景和不断变化的风险平衡可能需要我们调整政策立场。" 关于劳动力市场，鲍威尔表示： "总体来看，劳动力市场虽处于平衡，但这是一种因劳动力供需双双大幅放缓所致的'奇特平 衡'。这种异常形势暗示就业的下行风险正在增加。" 关于关税对通胀的影响，鲍威尔说，一种"合理的基准假设"是，关税会导致物价水平"一次性"上涨，但 这些影响需要时间才能完全体现在经济中。 综合各种影响因素来看，鲍威尔认为： "短期内，通胀风险偏向上行，就业风险偏向下行——这是一个有挑战的局面。" 对于货币政策框架调整，鲍威尔指出，新的政策框架删除了两项表述：一是美联储寻求通胀在一段时间 内达到平均2%的目标；二是以"偏离充分就业水平"作为决策依据。 货币政策与美联储框架审查 ...

Core Viewpoint - The current economic situation indicates an increase in downside risks to employment, which may necessitate interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [3][4][5]. Labor Market Analysis - The labor market is described as being in a "peculiar balance" due to significant slowdowns in both labor supply and demand, suggesting increased risks to employment [4][12]. - Recent employment growth has slowed to an average of only 35,000 jobs per month, significantly below the projected 168,000 jobs per month for 2024 [12]. - The unemployment rate has slightly increased to 4.2%, but remains historically low, indicating stability in labor market indicators [12].

王青认为，在三季度外部波动及经济增长动能变化有待进一步观察的背景下，短期内降准的概率较小， 央行更可能通过MLF和买断式逆回购等政策工具保持市场流动性充裕。他预计，接下来MLF还会加量 续作，并结合买断式逆回购操作，持续向市场注入中期流动性。(完) 中新社北京8月22日电 (记者夏宾)中国央行22日发布公告称，为保持银行体系流动性充裕，其将于8月25 日(周一)以固定数量、利率招标、多重价位中标方式开展6000亿元(人民币，下同)中期借款便利(MLF) 操作，期限为1年期。 考虑到本月有3000亿元MLF到期，这意味着8月央行MLF净投放达到3000亿元，符合市场预期，为连续 第六个月加量续作。 东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示，在5月降准释放长期流动性1万亿元之后，近三个月中期流动性持续 处于净投放状态，且8月净投放规模显著扩大。主要有三个原因。 一是现阶段处于政府债券持续发行高峰期，同时监管层也在引导金融机构加大货币信贷投放力度。 二是受"反内卷"牵动市场预期，以及股市走强等因素影响，近期中长端市场利率普遍上行，银行体系流 动性有所收紧，央行通过MLF等政策工具加大资金投放，有助于稳定市场预期，保持市场流动 ...
