Core Points - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the Fed may halt the reduction of its balance sheet in the coming months, supporting investor expectations for another rate cut this month [1][3] - Powell emphasized that the labor market outlook is deteriorating, with increasing signs of weakness [1][3] - The Fed lowered interest rates by 25 basis points last month, marking the first cut of 2025, described by Powell as a "risk management" move to support the weakening labor market [1][3] Economic Outlook - Powell stated that there has been little change in inflation and employment prospects since the last meeting in September [1][3] - He noted that existing evidence shows layoffs and hiring remain low, and perceptions of job opportunities are declining [3] - The lack of official economic statistics due to the government shutdown may lead to challenges in data monitoring [3] Market Reactions - Powell's remarks reinforced market expectations for a rate cut at the upcoming meeting [3][5] - JPMorgan's Michael Feroli stated that Powell's comments strongly confirmed market bets on a rate cut [3] - The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded, erasing a decline of about 600 points following Powell's speech [5] Future Policy Meetings - The next Federal Reserve policy meeting is scheduled for October 28-29, with the last meeting of the year in the second week of December [5]

Core Viewpoint - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the U.S. economic outlook remains largely unchanged since the September meeting, with a delicate balance between persistent inflation pressures and a weakening labor market. The market widely anticipates another rate cut at the upcoming meeting at the end of October [2][3]. Economic Outlook - Powell highlighted the current phase of "low hiring, low layoffs" in the labor market, suggesting that the decline in job vacancies may soon be reflected in rising unemployment rates. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in August, the highest in a year, and the delay in the September non-farm payroll report due to the government shutdown adds uncertainty to labor market assessments [3][6]. - Economists are increasingly concerned about the risks to employment, with expectations for a rate cut in October being nearly certain. The focus is shifting from prioritizing anti-inflation measures to balancing growth and employment [3][6]. Monetary Policy - Powell emphasized that inflation risks have not been fully resolved, with the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rising 2.9% year-over-year, still above the Fed's 2% target. He indicated that the Fed's balance sheet reduction process may be nearing its end, suggesting a potential slowdown in the pace of quantitative tightening to maintain market liquidity [5][6]. - The market expects the Fed to maintain a moderate easing stance in the coming months, with projections indicating a cumulative rate cut of about 50 basis points by the end of the year [6]. Decision-Making Challenges - The government shutdown has disrupted the release of key economic data, complicating the Fed's decision-making process. Powell acknowledged the challenges posed by the lack of data, particularly for October, and stated that the Fed would rely on available public and private sector data to inform its decisions [6][7]. - Analysts suggest that the Fed may be entering a "policy tolerance period," allowing inflation to exceed its target slightly in exchange for a more stable employment environment [7].

据公开消息，美联储在10月的会议将在28日至29日举行。目前市场投资者普遍相信美联储将再次降息25 个基点，即0.25%，以完成其促进市场就业和控制通胀率在2%的目标。 此外，鲍威尔还表示，美联储可能"在未来几个月内"停止量化紧缩操作，即允许其在应对危机的量化宽 松操作下购买的资产流失，并表示美联储"正在密切关注各种指标，以告知这一决定"。 鲍威尔还表示，即便当前美国联邦政府因停摆而无法获得劳工统计局的新数据，目前私人机构发布的就 业市场指标以及美联储内部研究也足以表明美国就业市场正在降温。鲍威尔称，"现有证据"表明"裁员 和招聘人数都保持在低位"，而"家庭对就业机会的看法和企业对招聘难度的看法继续呈下降趋势"。有 数据显示，9月份美国企业裁员数量达到了32000人。 这意味着，尽管许多经济学家担心特朗普政府的关税政策将引发美国经济新一轮通胀，但鲍威尔在"降 息"的货币政策态度上正在变得更加温和。而美联储在9月份的会议已经将利率下调至4.00%-4.25%。 据《金融时报》10月14日报道，美联储主席鲍威尔在参加美国全国商业经济协会在费城举办的一场活动 时发布警告称，美国劳动力市场的就业下行风险还在上升，而这 ...
