2025年5月，美国经济领域正上演着美联储政策转向、通胀数据波动与特朗普政府贸易政策交织的复杂博 弈。dbg markets盾博平台最新分析显示，这场经济博弈正深刻重塑全球资本配置逻辑，而美元资产定价模 式也面临历史性转折。 一、美联储政策天平摇摆：降息预期与经济数据的角力 5月7日议息会议上，美联储维持4.25%-4.5%利率区间不变，但市场已为更激进政策转向定价。联邦基金期 货显示，交易员预期年底前降息幅度达100个基点，相当于四次标准降息。这种预期差折射出深层矛盾：白 宫经济团队测算显示，维持现有关税体系将使2026年美国GDP增速下挫0.8个百分点，但美联储需要确凿证 据证明经济放缓非暂时性因素导致。 dbg markets首席分析师指出，当前美联储正面临"两难困境"：既要防范关税政策引发的输入型通胀，又要 避免过度紧缩导致经济硬着陆。这种政策矛盾在联邦基金期货市场得到充分体现——市场预计9月降息概率 飙升，但美联储官员讲话仍强调"需更多证据确认通胀回落"。 二、通胀数据迷局：PCE指标释放混合信号 5月PCE数据为美联储决策增添新变量。数据显示，美国5月PCE物价指数年率录得4.6%，略低于预期和前 ...
