（原标题：纽约联储前官员：关税或许只是"一次性影响"｜全球财经连线） 南方财经记者 施诗、杨雨莱 纽约联储前信贷风险主管理查德·罗伯茨(Richard Roberts)接受南方财经记者采访时表示，从数据来看， 关税已对美国通胀形成推升效应，并呈现出典型的"滞胀"特征：通胀走高而经济放缓。 不过，他也指出，关税上调所带来的冲击大概率仅是一次性的价格跳升，并不会演变为持续性的通胀螺 旋。 关税的影响仍未定论。罗伯茨补充说，判断关税是否会进一步推高通胀，可以观察市场参与者的通胀预 期。目前长期通胀预期依然偏高且小幅上行，因此关税对通胀的影响仍需密切关注。 据新华社报道，美国联邦储备委员会17日结束为期两天的货币政策会议，宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间 下调25个基点到4.00%至4.25%之间。这是美联储2025年第一次降息，也是继2024年三次降息后再次降 息。 市场普遍担忧，美国的关税政策可能推高通胀，这也成为影响美联储未来是否进一步降息的关键变量之 一。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve has initiated its first interest rate cut of 2025, lowering the benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.00%-4.25%, driven by economic slowdown and a weakening labor market, despite inflation not yet reaching the 2% target [1][2][3] Monetary Policy Outlook - The focus of the Federal Reserve's policy may shift further towards the labor market in Q4 2025, with a potential acceleration in the pace of rate cuts due to expanding fiscal deficits and increased political intervention [2][6] - A total of 75 basis points in rate cuts is anticipated throughout 2025, with the Fed maintaining a gradual and cautious approach to avoid overly aggressive easing that could destabilize inflation expectations [2][6] Labor Market Analysis - The labor market shows signs of significant weakness, with a downward revision of 911,000 jobs added over the past year, resulting in an average monthly addition of only 70,000 jobs, far below the previously estimated 147,000 [3] - The unemployment rate has risen to 4.3%, the highest level since 2021, indicating reduced hiring intentions and insufficient job growth momentum [3] Taylor Rule and Monetary Policy - The Taylor Rule, historically a key guideline for monetary policy, has become less effective, as evidenced by the Fed's deviation from its recommendations during economic crises [4][5] - In the current context, a weaker response to inflation may be more appropriate, as strict adherence to the Taylor Rule could exacerbate economic downturn risks [4][5] Central Bank Credibility - The credibility of the central bank is crucial for its ability to deviate from the Taylor Rule, as a central bank with strong credibility can better manage supply shocks and achieve a balance between price stability and growth [5][6] - The Fed's long-standing credibility allows for potential rate cuts even when inflation remains elevated, as maintaining high rates could lead to increased economic downturn risks [5][6] Global Asset Repricing - The continuation of rate cuts by the Fed is expected to accelerate the global asset repricing process, benefiting physical assets and precious metals such as energy, metals, real estate, and gold [6] - A weaker dollar may lead to accelerated capital flows, providing relative advantages to emerging markets benefiting from manufacturing shifts and resource exports [6]

Core Viewpoint - The European Central Bank (ECB) decided to maintain the eurozone interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive month amid trade slowdown and political instability in France, with the key deposit rate held at 2% as expected by the market [1] Economic Outlook - The ECB raised its inflation forecasts for this year and next by 0.1 percentage points, predicting a 2.1% increase in overall prices for the eurozone in 2025 and a 1.7% increase in 2026 [1] - The eurozone's economic growth forecast for this year was upgraded from 0.9% to 1.2%, primarily due to strong export growth to the US in the first half of the year [1] - However, the economic growth forecast for next year was downgraded from 1.1% to 1% due to increased trade protectionism leading to a decline in global demand [1] Interest Rate Policy - ECB President Christine Lagarde emphasized that the central bank will not commit to a specific interest rate path, with decisions depending on data performance [1] - Market expectations suggest at least one more rate cut in the current cycle, although the new inflation forecasts and Lagarde's statements have reduced the likelihood of further cuts [1] Challenges Facing the Eurozone - The eurozone is currently facing multiple challenges, including a political deadlock in France that threatens investment and a deteriorating export outlook for Germany amid rising trade protectionism [1]

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points aligns with market expectations, but there are differing opinions within the committee regarding the extent of the cut [1]. Group 1: Federal Reserve Decision - The Federal Reserve has lowered the federal funds rate target range to 4.00%-4.25%, which was anticipated by the market [1]. - New board member Miran expressed a preference for a 50 basis point cut, indicating a divergence in opinions within the Fed [1]. - The immediate market reaction included a drop in the 10-year Treasury yield and fluctuations in gold prices, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average rising [1].

Group 3: Powell's Statements and Market Sentiment - Powell's emphasis on evaluating conditions "meeting by meeting" suggests a reluctance to signal a continuous rate-cutting cycle, which may lead to uncertainty in market expectations [4]. - The focus on employment risks in Powell's remarks indicates a shift towards prioritizing job market stability over inflation concerns [4]. - The market's reaction to Powell's statements included a rebound in two-year Treasury yields and a recovery in the 10-year yield, underscoring the importance of long-term rates in influencing the economy [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The Fed cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points this morning, officially restarting the rate - cut cycle, with the weakening employment market as the main basis. The overall interest - rate decision and tone were in line with expectations. The median forecast of the interest rate at the end of 2025 dropped to 3.625%, implying two more rate cuts in October and December this year. The median forecast for 2026 is 3.38%, suggesting one rate cut next year but with a small margin. The median expected interest rates for 2027 and 2028 are both 3.13%. The Fed maintained its balance - sheet reduction, and the market expects QT to pause at the end of the year [8]. - Powell is inclined to emphasize employment risks but is not completely relaxed about inflation. The market's expectation of rate cuts within this year is basically fixed after this FOMC meeting, and attention should be paid to long - term expectations, which are affected by fundamentals, Fed leadership changes, and the Fed's independence [9][10]. - For gold, although the current meeting is in line with expectations, the upside space may be limited after this year's rate cuts. For copper, the price adjustment space is small, and it will maintain a volatile trend. For生猪, after the policy expectations are fulfilled, the weakness of the spot market is difficult to change [12][14][22]. Summaries by Directory Fed Rate - Cut Analysis - **Rate - Cut Decision**: The Fed cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, restarting the rate - cut cycle. The median interest - rate forecast at the end of 2025 is 3.625%, and there are expected to be two more rate cuts in October and December. The median forecast for 2026 is 3.38%, with one rate cut expected [8]. - **Economic Forecasts**: The expected real GDP year - on - year growth rates for 2025 - 2027 are 1.6%, 1.8%, and 1.9% respectively, up from the previous period. The core PCE year - on - year expectations are 3.1%, 2.6%, and 2.1% respectively, also up but with a relatively mild long - term outlook. The unemployment rate expectations are 4.5%, 4.4%, and 4.3% respectively, showing a cautious view on employment this year [8]. - **Powell's Speech**: Powell is concerned about employment risks, as the unemployment rate has slightly increased, new job creation has decreased, and both supply and demand in the labor market are weak. Regarding inflation, the impact of US government policy changes on the economy and inflation remains to be seen [9]. Sector Analysis Gold - **Market Reaction**: After the FOMC meeting, the initial market reaction was positive, with gold rising and the dollar and interest rates falling. However, after Powell's press conference, the trend reversed. The price of gold reaching 3700 was already pricing in three rate cuts this year, and the dot - plot further confirmed this. The long - term rate - cut path for 2026 and 2027 did not change significantly, and there may be a significant rebound in long - term interest rates after this year's rate cuts. The upside space for gold is limited [12]. Copper - **Macro and Fundamental Factors**: The Fed's 25 - basis - point rate cut sent a mixed signal. High copper prices have suppressed downstream demand and terminal consumption, but price drops may promote restocking. The supply of copper concentrates is tight, and the spot TC remains weak, leading to an expansion of smelting losses. The copper output in September is expected to decline. Overall, the macro and micro factors cannot form a resonance, and the copper price will maintain a volatile trend with limited downward adjustment space [14][30]. Zinc - **Market Conditions**: The zinc market is in a state of consolidation. The closing prices of the Shanghai zinc main contract and the LME zinc 3M electronic disk showed small changes. The inventory and other indicators also had minor fluctuations. The trend intensity is neutral [33]. Lead - **Price Support**: The reduction in lead inventory supports the price to fluctuate. The closing prices of the Shanghai lead main contract and the LME lead 3M electronic disk increased slightly. The inventory of lead decreased, which is conducive to price stability [36]. Aluminum, Alumina, and Cast Aluminum Alloy - **Trends**: Aluminum is expected to trade in a range, alumina is expected to rebound from the bottom, and cast aluminum alloy will follow the trend of electrolytic aluminum. The relevant indicators such as prices, trading volumes, and inventories of these products have shown different degrees of change. The trend intensity of all three is neutral [44][45]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - **Nickel**: The contradictions in the nickel smelting end are not prominent, and attention should be paid to the news - related risks in the ore end. The prices and relevant indicators of nickel and related products in the industrial chain have changed slightly. The trend intensity is neutral [46]. - **Stainless Steel**: There is a game between short - term and long - term logics, and the steel price may fluctuate. The prices and trading volumes of stainless - steel futures have changed, and the trend intensity is neutral [46]. Carbonate Lithium - **Market Situation**: Driven by strong energy - storage demand, the carbonate - lithium market will operate in a volatile manner. The prices and trading volumes of carbonate - lithium futures contracts have changed, and the spot price has increased. The trend intensity is neutral [53][54]. Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon - **Industrial Silicon**: Attention should be paid to market - sentiment changes. The price of industrial - silicon futures has increased slightly, and the inventory has changed. The trend intensity is neutral [56][57]. - **Polysilicon**: The spot price has increased slightly. The prices and relevant indicators of polysilicon futures and related products in the industrial chain have changed. The trend intensity of polysilicon is 1 (slightly bullish) [57][59]. Iron Ore - **Market Volatility**: The iron - ore market has repeated expectations and wide - range fluctuations. The futures price increased slightly, and the spot prices of different types of iron ore remained relatively stable. The trend intensity is neutral [60]. Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - **Rebar**: It will trade in a wide range. The futures price increased slightly, and the spot prices in different regions decreased slightly. The basis and spread indicators have changed. The trend intensity is neutral [62][63]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: It will also trade in a wide range. The futures price decreased slightly, and the spot prices in different regions decreased. The basis and spread indicators have changed. The trend intensity is neutral [63]. Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese - **Market Trends**: Boosted by macro sentiment, both ferrosilicon and silicomanganese will show a relatively strong and volatile trend. The futures prices of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese increased, and the spot prices changed. The trend intensity of both is 1 (slightly bullish) [67][69]. Coke and Coking Coal - **Market Fluctuations**: Both the coke and coking - coal markets have repeated expectations and wide - range fluctuations. The futures prices of coke and coking coal decreased slightly, and the spot prices of coking coal increased while the coke price decreased. The basis and spread indicators have changed. The trend intensity of both is neutral [70][71][72]. Logs - **Market Performance**: The log market will fluctuate repeatedly, but no detailed data or analysis is provided in the report [73].
