美东时间6月18日，美联储最新的联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）货币政策会议纪要显示，美联储决定 将联邦基金利率目标区间维持在4.25%至4.5%之间不变。这是美联储货币政策会议连续第四次决定维持 利率不变。美联储的声明称，尽管净出口波动影响了数据，但是最近的指标表明美国经济活动继续稳步 扩张。失业率稳定在低位，劳动力市场状况保持稳健，通胀率仍然略高。美联储寻求在较长时期内实现 充分就业和2%通胀目标。经济前景不确定性有所减弱，但仍然较高。美联储密切关注其双重使命面临 的风险。 本次声明重申，美联储将继续减少其持有的美国国债、机构债和机构抵押贷款支持证券（MBS）。美 联储政策制定者预计，随着特朗普关税影响到美国消费者，商品价格的通胀将在夏季上升。美联储主席 鲍威尔表示，美联储将继续根据最新数据、经济前景变化和风险平衡来决定货币政策的适当立场。鲍威 尔认为，贸易、移民、财政和监管政策仍在不断变化，这些政策对经济的影响仍不确定。"目前，我们 处于有利地位，可以先了解经济可能的走向，然后再考虑调整政策。"鲍威尔表示，现在还有时间等待 更多明朗的消息。 观察人士认为，美联储今年年初选择观望是出于对美国新一届政府关税政 ...

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target rate in the range of 4.25%-4.5%, aligning with market expectations, marking the fourth consecutive meeting without a rate cut since December last year [7][8]. - The economic outlook has shifted towards a "stagflation" scenario, with GDP growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026 being downgraded by 0.3 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points respectively, while unemployment rate forecasts for the same years have been raised by 0.1 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points [7][9]. - The dot plot indicates a more hawkish stance compared to March, with three additional members expecting no rate cuts this year and a reduction in the expected rate cut for 2026 from 50 basis points to 25 basis points [8][9]. Group 2 - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell expressed a hawkish tone, indicating that while job growth has slowed, the unemployment rate remains low, and both labor supply and demand are decreasing simultaneously [2][13]. - The market reacted to the FOMC decision with rising U.S. Treasury yields and a decline in U.S. stocks, with expectations for a potential rate cut in September and another in December remaining consistent with pre-FOMC predictions [2][13]. - The next rate cut is deemed challenging, as inflation risks remain high and the unemployment rate is expected to rise slowly, suggesting the Fed may prefer to wait for clearer signals rather than act prematurely [3][22]. Group 3 - Inflation is anticipated to face upward pressure during the summer, influenced by tariffs and the delayed transmission of costs to consumers, with the average effective tariff rate expected to rise by 14 percentage points due to ongoing trade conflicts [3][16]. - The unemployment rate is projected to rise slowly, with initial jobless claims in June showing an upward trend, potentially due to seasonal factors related to the academic calendar [4][21]. - Overall, the conditions for a rate cut in September require either a continued decline in inflation or a rapid increase in unemployment, both of which currently appear difficult to achieve [4][22].

美联储主席鲍威尔顶住特朗普施压，维持基准利率在4.25%-4.50%不变。之后鲍威尔发言让人浮想联 翩，热议今年降息的可能性。 6月议息会议后维持利率不变——这已是其自去年12月以来连续第四次按兵不动，具体如下表所示。 联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）在声明中指出：尽管净出口的波动对数据产生了影响，但近期指标显 示，经济活动继续以稳健的步伐扩张，失业率维持在较低水平，劳动力市场状况依然稳固，通胀仍处于 略高水平。 值得留意的是，这次的声明措辞上有所改变：5月时的版本指经济前景的不确定性"进一步增加"，但6月 声明的措辞已变更为"对经济前景的不确定性已有所减弱，但仍处于较高水平"。 为实现其最大就业和将核心通胀控制在2%的目标，委员会决定将联邦基金利率的目标区间维持在4.25% 至4.50%水平。在考虑对联邦基金利率目标区间进行额外调整的幅度和时机时，其将仔细评估新发布的 数据、不断演变的前景以及风险平衡，并会继续减持美国国债、机构债券和机构抵押贷款支持证券。 在评估货币政策的适当立场时，FOMC将继续监测新信息对经济前景的影响。若出现可能阻碍其实现目 标的风险，美联储将准备酌情调整货币政策立场。FOMC的评估将 ...

不过美联储仍然认为未来美国经济仍面临较高的不确定性，关税增加可能会对经济活动产生压力，未来 几个月通胀将显著上升。美联储下调了未来对美国经济增长的预期，上调了未来通胀、失业率的预期。 本次会议声明中，在对劳动力市场的判断上，委员会维持了稳定的判断，但删除了"失业率稳定在低水 平"的措辞，在对通胀的判断上，维持了"仍然偏高"的表述。在经济指标预测中，美联储将2025年的失 业率预期上调至4.5%，将核心PCE物价指数的通胀预期上调至3%。在经济指标预测中，对2025年美国 实际GDP增速的预期中值从1.7%再下调至1.4%，并同步将2026年下调至1.6%。 美联储主席鲍威尔在新闻发布会中表示，关税政策的影响传导至终端消费需要时间，企业调查显示多数 公司计划将关税成本部分或全部转嫁消费者。关税影响的规模、持续时间高度不确定，因此维持现有的 政策立场是合适的，以便根据后续数据灵活调整。 当地时间6月18日，美国联邦储备委员会宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间维持在4.25%至4.50%之间，这是 美联储货币政策会议连续第四次决定维持利率不变。 本次美联储公布的点阵图显示，2025年降息次数仍为两次，但从分布上看，内部仍有 ...

智通财经APP获悉，美联储鲍威尔在最新新闻发布会上重申，美联储目前最关心的依旧是"让经济稳健 运行并保持物价稳定"。面对记者转述总统特朗普长期对"利率迟迟不降"的批评，鲍威尔拒绝正面回 应，只表示："这对我们而言并不复杂，联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)的所有成员都希望看到一个稳固的 经济和稳定的物价，这就是全部重点。" 与此同时，FOMC将今明两年失业率预测小幅上调，并首次在公开场合提及"挑战性场景"，当通胀回落 速度慢于就业市场降温时，联储或陷入目标冲突。"若出现这种情况，我们会考虑离双重目标各有多 远，以及各自回归正常的时间维度。" 随着通胀、失业率双升的可能性增加，市场对滞涨担忧升温。JanusHenderson投资组合经理DanSiluk指 出，通胀预测上修意味着激进降息空间受限，而若就业继续走软，美联储或被迫在两难中权衡。 鲍威尔则给出了"静观其变"的基调："在进一步了解经济路径之前，我们拥有充足的耐心。"FOMC维持 联邦基金利率在4.25%–4.5%区间不变，并保留"年内两次降息"的前瞻指引，但鲍威尔明言时点尚无定 论。 鲍威尔警告，4月初宣布的大规模关税仍在链式传导："关税渗透到消费者端需要时 ...
