"9月核心CPI低于预期，这应会让美联储对其下周降息的计划感到更为安心。"布朗说，下周联邦公开市场委员会 （FOMC）中支持降息的力量可能进一步壮大。 他指出，9月通胀低于预期主要是因为租金价格涨幅较弱，其中，占CPI篮子权重高达26%的业主等价租金（OER）环比 仅上涨0.1%，主要居所租金微涨0.2%，均不及预期。另外，到目前为止，关税对通胀的传导效应整体仍不明显，但9月 再次出现多种潜在关税影响商品价格上涨的迹象。比如，服装价格环比上涨0.7%，新车价格上涨0.2%。不过，这些上 涨部分被二手车价格和医疗护理商品价格下跌所抵消。 惠誉评级美国经济研究主管奥卢·索诺拉也对智通财经表示，9月CPI数据让美联储松了一口气，不会影响其10月可能连 续第二次降息的计划。 智通财经记者 | 刘婷 美国9月通胀全线低于预期，这意味着下周美联储大概率将实施今年第二次降息。 劳工统计局周五晚发布的数据显示，9月，消费者价格指数（CPI）同比上涨3%，涨幅虽然为今年2月来最高，但不及预 期的3.1%；环比上涨0.3%，不及预期的0.4%，涨幅比上月收窄0.1个百分点。剔除能源和食品价格的核心CPI同比上涨 3%，环比上涨0 ...

Core Insights - The report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the price increase for various goods and services in September was lower than expected, with the overall CPI rising by 0.3% month-over-month and 3.0% year-over-year, both below market expectations of 0.4% and 3.1% respectively [1] - The core CPI, excluding food and energy, also showed a month-over-month increase of 0.2% and a year-over-year increase of 3.0%, again falling short of the anticipated 0.3% and 3.1% [1] - The report serves as a critical observation point for the U.S. economy during the government shutdown, although the future policy direction remains uncertain [1] Economic Concerns - There are ongoing concerns regarding Trump's tariff policies potentially leading to a new wave of severe inflation, while Federal Reserve officials are wary that the current weak hiring trends may spread, despite low layoff rates [1] - Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and his colleagues are cautious about the pace of interest rate cuts as they weigh inflation threats against a soft labor market [1] - Trump insists that inflation is no longer an issue and calls for aggressive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve [1]

分析数据时需要注意到两个特殊背景：联邦政府雇员的失业救济申请出现异常波动，这与9月底超过15万员工接受买断方案直接相关；被迫休假的政府人员 可以申领失业金，但在获得补发工资后需按规定退还，这部分数据属于独立统计范畴。 续请失业金人数同样传递出市场信号。截至10月11日，该数据从192.8万人微升至194.2万人，这个逆向指标持续走高反映出失业人员再就业面临阻力。花旗 经济学家杨格观察到，往年此时因假日季带来的招聘热潮今年尚未显现，这可能预示着第四季度就业市场动能减弱。 面对这些现象，市场对美联储政策的预期正在加强。多数分析认为，为防范劳动力市场进一步放缓，美联储可能采取相应措施。当前数据波动尚在正常范围 内，企业并未出现大规模裁员迹象，这与8月失业率升至4.3%的表现相互印证。 在政府停摆的特殊时期，这些由金融机构自主测算的数据为观察劳动力市场提供了重要窗口。虽然部分统计工作受到影响，经济学家通过应用季节性调整参 数，仍然构建出评估市场状况的有效参照系。延迟上报或许能提高调查问卷的回收率，这正是以往就业数据需要大幅修正的关键因素。 近期美国劳动力市场数据引发关注。在政府停摆导致部分经济统计缺失的背景下，多家金 ...
