美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰下调2026年美联储降息幅度预期，不再坚持此前两个月作出的大幅降息判断。 米兰表示，近期经济数据表现强于此前预判，就业状况好于预期，商品通胀则更为顽固。他称："劳动 力市场状况比我过去几个月的预期要好一些。有迹象显示商品通胀进一步顽固。综合这两方面因素，我 将收回去年12月作出的预判。" 去年12月美联储季度点阵图中，米兰曾预计2026年底利率降至2.25%以下；如今他回归2025年9月时的 温和立场，预计年底利率低于2.75%。以当前3.5%至3.75%的利率区间计算，这一调整对应今年降息1个 百分点。即便如此，米兰仍是美联储内部偏鸽派的官员之一，与多数官员预期年内仅降息25个基点形成 明显差异。 此次预期调整进一步拉大了他与白宫经济政策立场的分歧。 近期美联储公布的1月货币政策会议纪要显示，内部对货币政策预期存在明显分歧，部分官员倾向于维 持利率不变，另有官员提出若通胀持续高企不排除重启加息可能。 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文为AI基于第三方数据生成，仅供参考，不构成个人投资建议。 来源：市场资讯 ...
