[Table_Page] 宏观经济研究报告 2026 年 2 月 14 日 证券研究报告 [Table_Title] 广发宏观 1 月美国 CPI 数据显示，通胀整体仍具韧性+放缓。CPI 同比增 2.4% ，低于预期的 2.5%，前值+2.7%；环比 +0.2%，低于预期和前值的+0.3%。核心 CPI 同比增 2.5%，符合预期，前值 2.6%；核心 CPI 环比+0.3%，符 合预期，高于前值的 0.2%。 能源价格增速显著回落，环比-1.5%，其中，汽油（-3.2%）和燃油（-5.7%）价格回落为主要背景。 食品价格环比为+0.2%，前值为 0.7%。其中，家庭食品（food at home）和餐馆用餐价格增速均显著回落，环 比分别为+0.2%和 0.1%，前值分别为 0.6%和 0.7%。 1 月核心商品环比为 0%，持平于前值，核心服务价格有所回弹，环比从 0.3%回升至 0.4%。 [Tabl e_Author] 分析师： 郭磊 分析师： 陈嘉荔 SAC 执证号：S0260516070002 SFC CE.no: BNY419 SAC 执证号：S0260523120005 021-3800357 ...

同日公布的美国1月消费者价格指数（CPI）数据显示，当月CPI年率录得2.4%，创下2025年5月以来的新 低，且低于市场预期的2.5%；剔除食品和能源成本的核心CPI同比上涨2.5%，为2021年3月以来新低，与市 场预期持平。从数据表现来看，美国通胀呈现温和回落态势，显现出一定的积极信号，但仍高于美联储设 定的2%目标，这也是古尔斯比保持谨慎的核心原因。 在利率水平方面，古尔斯比暗示，在达到中性利率水平之前，美联储仍有进一步降息空间。中性利率是指 既不刺激也不抑制经济增长的利率水平，目前美联储官员对这一水平的判断仍存在差异。古尔斯比强调， 通胀已超过4年半高于目标水平，降息前必须看到通胀切实改善，而非单纯指望其自行回落。 古尔斯比在接受采访时表示，支持再次降息的前提，是通胀在回落至美联储2%目标的道路上取得更多实质 性进展。这一表态清晰传递出，当前经济环境下，他暂不支持启动降息操作。据悉，美联储长期将2%通胀 率作为物价稳定的核心目标，这也是全球主要经济体普遍采用的合理通胀区间标准，适度通胀通常被视为 经济健康运行的表征。 市场预期与古尔斯比的谨慎表态存在差异。在美国1月通胀数据公布后，市场交易员加大押注 ...

古尔斯比提到，通胀已连续超过4年半高于目标水平，在开启降息前必须看到通胀切实改善，而非被动 等待其自行好转。他暗示，在联邦基金利率达到中性利率水平前，美联储仍存在进一步降息空间，但当 前首要任务是推动通胀回落。 美国1月通胀数据公布后，交易员加大押注美联储2026年内降息超过两次。美联储下次货币政策会议将 于3月17日至18日召开，据CME"美联储观察"显示，当前市场认为美联储3月维持利率不变的概率为 90.2%，降息25个基点的概率为9.8%。 同日公布的美国1月消费者价格指数（CPI）年率录得2.4%，创2025年5月以来新低，低于市场预期的 2.5%；剔除食品和能源成本后的核心CPI同比上涨2.5%，创2021年3月以来新低，符合市场预期。尽管 通胀数据较预期温和，但仍未达到美联储设定的2%目标。 古尔斯比指出，受关税影响的商品价格已得到控制，但服务业通胀尚未得到遏制，且并非由关税推 动。"更令人担忧的是，我们仍看到服务业通胀居高不下，而这类通胀往往具有持续性。"他同时表示， 希望关税对通胀的影响已达峰值，且最终被证明为暂时性影响。 当地时间周五，美国芝加哥联储主席古尔斯比明确表示，暂不支持现阶段降息， ...
