美东时间23日周二，在上周美联储宣布降息后的首次公开演讲中，美联储主席鲍威尔继续为进一步降息留下空间，并暗示在有挑战的风险环境下会谨慎降息。 在问答环节， 鲍威尔警告股市估值太高 ，打压了市场情绪，引发美股大盘下挫，收盘时三大指数结束三连涨势头，纳指跌近1%。 演讲稿中， 鲍威尔再次警告，联储的双重使命——充分就业和价格稳定均面临威胁，两面的风险意味着没有毫无风险的政策路径。 假如降息幅度过大或速度 过快，可能无法有限控制高通胀、让通胀持续高于美联储2%的目标，而假如货币紧缩维持太久，则可能无谓地拖累劳动力市场。 鲍威尔指出，"短期内通胀存在上行风险，就业则存在下行风险——这是一个有挑战的局面"。在"活力不足、略显疲软的劳动力市场"形势下，就业下行的风险已 增加。正是因为就业风险增加导致风险平衡变化，上周美联储才决定降息。 对于关税，鲍威尔重申，合理的预期是， 关税对通胀将有短暂影响，只会导致一次性的价格波动。 不过，"一次性"的波动并不意味着"立即发生"，可能会持续 几个季度。鲍威尔仍认为，美联储必须密切关注关税可能带来的持续性影响，称要确保关税不会演变为持续性的通胀问题。 鲍威尔本次讲话没有透露任何信息， ...
