美联储上周五宣布，理事阿德里安娜·库格勒（Adriana Kugler）将于8月8日正式离任。这位2023年9月就 任、原定任期至2026年1月的理事，上周因个人原因缺席了联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC)会议。 特朗普将其称为"一个令人愉快的惊喜"。特朗普表示，将从四位候选人中挑选库格勒的继任者，或许会 利用库格勒留下的空缺来挑选未来的美联储主席。 库格勒离职之际，白宫正对美联储施加史无前例的公开压力，特朗普频繁对鲍威尔进行人身攻击。因鲍 威尔坚持反对降息，特朗普称其"太愤怒、太愚蠢、太政治化"，并要求其辞职。 新华财经北京8月6日电（马萌伟）当地时间5日，美国总统特朗普表示，可能很快宣布美联储新任主 席，美联储理事的人选决定将于本周末做出。 特朗普表示，主席候选人已缩减至国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）、美联储前理事凯 文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）以及其他两人。特朗普未透露另外两人姓名，但外界猜测其中一位是现任美联 储理事沃勒（Christopher Waller）。 目前，货币市场定价暗示美联储在9月降息的概率高达94.4%。在市场对9月降息押注迅速升温之际，特 朗普此番人 ...

美国"非农"数据暴雷令美联储降息预期飙升，但本周华尔街知名投行对降息分歧却在加大。 不过，美银全球研究部却对此持有不同看法。该团队认为，劳动力需求的下降与供给减少相匹配，失业 率保持相对稳定，且消费者支出似乎正在增强，这可能预示着美国经济走向更强劲的轨迹。 高盛8月4日发布报告表示，美国潜在的月度就业增长已从第一季度的20.6万骤降至7月的2.8万，这表明 劳动力市场正在迅速降温。基于此，高盛认为9月降息25个基点的可能性极高，若数据进一步恶化，甚 至可能激进降息50个基点。 花旗也预计美联储可能降息50个基点。该机构表示，在就业数据大幅下修后，美联储官员可能会失去观 望的"奢侈"，并预计政策利率最终将降至3%。该机构认为，潜在经济活动增长在今年上半年已放缓至 潜力以下，这为将政策利率降至中性或更低水平提供了理由。 摩根大通在最新研报中预测，9月与11月美联储可能各降息50个基点，12月再降25个基点，全年累计125 个基点;并称"存在提前至9月会议前紧急降息的强烈理由"。 高盛预计，即使美联储到2026年中期将利率降至3%-3.25%，欧洲央行仍可能维持较高存款利率，这种 政策分化将进一步削弱美元。同时，对 ...
