北京时间10月30日凌晨2点，美联储公布利率决议。 对于政府停摆的影响，鲍威尔认为，其对经济活动的抑制作用将持续存在，但这些影响应会在停摆结束 后逐步消退。美国国会预算办公室（CBO）周三预测，截至本月底，这场持续一个月的政府停摆已导 致美国国内生产总值（GDP）至少减少70亿美元。国会预算办公室主任斯瓦格尔（Phillip Swagel）表 示，若停摆持续，这一经济损失规模还将进一步扩大。 针对就业市场，鲍威尔表示，现有信息均指向劳动力市场正趋于疲软。"尽管9月官方就业数据已延迟发 布，但现有证据表明，当前裁员与招聘活动仍维持在较低水平；同时，在这个活力有所下降、整体略显 疲软的劳动力市场中，家庭对就业机会的感知以及企业对招聘难度的感受均在持续下滑。近几个月来， 就业市场面临的下行风险似乎已有所上升。美联储正密切关注裁员公告。许多公司正在谈论经济分化态 势。低收入消费者正在挣扎，在经济呈现K型复苏这一点上，确实存在某种可能性。" 值得注意的是，本周早些时候，亚马逊宣布将在全公司范围内裁员1.4万人；周三，媒体巨头派拉蒙 （Paramount）也表示将在包括哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部（CBS News）在内的多个 ...

在新闻发布会伊始，美联储主席鲍威尔表示，政府停摆前获取的数据显示，经济活动增长轨迹可能略强 于此前预期，这主要得益于消费支出的强劲表现。 对于政府停摆的影响，鲍威尔认为，其对经济活动的抑制作用将持续存在，但这些影响应会在停摆结束 后逐步消退。美国国会预算办公室（CBO）周三预测，截至本月底，这场持续一个月的政府停摆已导 致美国国内生产总值（GDP）至少减少70亿美元。国会预算办公室主任斯瓦格尔（Phillip Swagel）表 示，若停摆持续，这一经济损失规模还将进一步扩大。 针对就业市场，鲍威尔表示，现有信息均指向劳动力市场正趋于疲软。"尽管9月官方就业数据已延迟发 布，但现有证据表明，当前裁员与招聘活动仍维持在较低水平；同时，在这个活力有所下降、整体略显 疲软的劳动力市场中，家庭对就业机会的感知以及企业对招聘难度的感受均在持续下滑。近几个月来， 就业市场面临的下行风险似乎已有所上升。美联储正密切关注裁员公告。许多公司正在谈论经济分化态 势。低收入消费者正在挣扎，在经济呈现K型复苏这一点上，确实存在某种可能性。" 值得注意的是，本周早些时候，亚马逊宣布将在全公司范围内裁员1.4万人；周三，媒体巨头派拉蒙 （ ...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate target range to 3.75% to 4.00%, marking the fifth rate cut since September 2024 and a cumulative reduction of 150 basis points in this cycle [1][3]. Market Impact - U.S. stock markets are expected to continue rising, with potential volatility before the end of the year; foreign investors anticipate strong structural opportunities in the A-share market, particularly favoring the technology growth sector [6]. - The expectation of rate cuts supports gold prices, although excessive speculation has been noted, suggesting investors should be cautious of potential pullbacks [7]. - The status of U.S. Treasuries as a "risk-free asset" is under scrutiny, with bond yields likely to be suppressed [7]. - The U.S. dollar index faces risks from uncertainties regarding tariffs, government shutdowns, and credit pressures, likely leading to a continued weak trend [7]. Federal Reserve Outlook - Fed Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the December rate decision is uncertain, with a 65% probability of a rate cut, down from 90% prior to the meeting [9]. - Powell noted that the government shutdown could impact economic activity and the upcoming rate decision, emphasizing the need for caution in the absence of data [9]. Stock Market Performance - Major tech stocks showed strong performance, with NVIDIA rising approximately 3% and surpassing a market cap of $5 trillion; Apple also closed above $4 trillion for the first time [12]. - Meta Platforms saw a significant drop of over 8% in after-hours trading due to disappointing earnings [12]. Bond and Currency Movements - The two-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 3.59%, while the dollar index rose briefly, and the onshore RMB depreciated against the dollar [13]. - Spot gold prices fell below $1,930 per ounce [13]. Emerging Markets - The current rate cut is viewed as a preventive measure, with expectations for a dual bull market in stocks and bonds if economic data supports a soft landing; however, persistent inflation or a sharp decline in the job market could increase asset volatility [17]. - The decline in U.S. Treasury yields is expected to improve global financial market conditions, driving down global financing costs and enhancing the attractiveness of emerging market assets [18].

值得一提的是，本次降息决策并未得到全体联邦市场公开委员会（FOMC）投票委员支持。决议声明显示，有2人投票反对降息25个基点，其中包括美联 储新任理事斯蒂芬·米兰，他倾向于在本次会议上降息50个基点。 美联储再次动手！ 北京时间10月30日凌晨2点，美联储宣布，降息25个基点，将联邦基金利率从4.00%～4.25%降至3.75%～4.00%，符合市场预期。同时，美联储决定从12月 1日起结束缩减资产负债表（缩表）的计划。 美联储主席鲍威尔在随后召开的新闻发布会上表示，在本次会议讨论中，对于12月应如何行动，官员们存在明显分歧。12月议息会议再次降息并非板上钉 钉。政府停摆可能会影响12月的议息会议，在缺乏数据的情况下，可能有必要更加谨慎，经济数据缺失可能构成暂停利率调整的理由。 受此影响，交易员下调了对美联储12月降息的押注，美股三大指数全线跳水，盘中一度集体翻绿，随后纳指迅速翻红，道指、标普500指数尾盘跌幅有所 收窄，美元指数则直线拉升。有分析指出，鲍威尔的表态给美联储后续的政策前景增添了巨大的不确定性。 美联储宣布：降息 北京时间10月30日凌晨2点，美联储宣布，将联邦基金利率从4.00%～4.25%降 ...

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve has decided to halt its bond-selling program and has cut its Federal Funds Rate from 4.25% to 4% due to concerns over the weakening jobs market in the US [1][2] - The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced it would stop its balance sheet run-off, indicating elevated uncertainty about the economic outlook and increased downside risks to employment [2] - The Bank of England is under pressure to follow the Fed's lead in halting its active selling of UK bonds, which has been criticized for increasing government borrowing costs [3][6] Group 2 - During the pandemic, central banks engaged in quantitative easing by purchasing large amounts of bonds to support financial markets, which has now shifted to quantitative tightening [4] - The Fed's balance sheet has decreased from nearly $9 trillion in 2022 to approximately $6.6 trillion today as it allows bond purchases to run off [5] - The Bank of England's roadmap for slowing its bond sales program may be influenced by the Fed's recent decision, potentially leading to a halt in its bond sales by 2026 [6][7]

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, indicates that the U.S. economy is experiencing moderate expansion, but the government shutdown may temporarily hinder economic activity. The labor market is gradually cooling, with rising downside risks to employment, yet initial jobless claims remain low, suggesting a slow decline rather than a rapid downturn [1][2]. Economic Outlook - Powell expects the economic growth rate for the year to be around 1.6%, lower than the previous year. He emphasizes that there has been no significant deterioration across various economic sectors [2]. - The Fed's monetary policy remains moderately restrictive, with inflation slightly above target levels. The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) is projected to be around 2.3% to 2.4%, while inflation excluding tariffs is only 0.5% to 0.6% above the 2% target [1][3]. Monetary Policy Adjustments - The Fed plans to end its balance sheet reduction on December 1, citing recent pressures in the money market that necessitate immediate adjustments. Powell notes that the benefits of continuing quantitative tightening (QT) are diminishing, and the Fed will maintain stability in the short term [3]. - Powell acknowledges that there is no zero-risk policy path, and the balance of risks has shifted. The recent rate cuts are steps toward a more neutral policy stance, but the decision for further rate adjustments in December remains uncertain due to data shortages caused by the government shutdown [2][4]. Market Reactions - Following Powell's statements, the dollar index rose by 0.60%, while the two-year Treasury yield surged to 3.59%. The stock market experienced a downturn as traders adjusted their expectations for a December rate cut, now estimated at 65%, down from 90% prior to the meeting [4][5]. - Analysts suggest that Powell's comments reflect internal tensions within the Fed regarding further rate cuts, especially with inflation remaining high. This has led to a temporary market reaction, as investors had anticipated more aggressive rate cuts to stimulate the economy [5][6].
