Core Viewpoint - Stephen Miran has emerged as a distinctive voice in economic policy, challenging traditional economic theories and practices, particularly in monetary policy, through his roles at the Federal Reserve and the White House Council of Economic Advisers [1][3]. Group 1: Career Background - Miran's unconventional career path includes a transition from biochemistry at Boston University to deep economic thought, reflecting a unique mindset [3]. - He served as a senior advisor at the Treasury during the Trump administration, contributing to significant economic policies like the CARES Act [3]. - After leaving the corporate sector, he joined the Manhattan Institute, focusing on topics such as the return of U.S. manufacturing and global trade restructuring, becoming a key advisor in Trump's economic policy [3]. Group 2: Monetary Policy - At the September 2023 Federal Reserve meeting, Miran proposed a 50 basis point interest rate cut, contrasting with the 25 basis point cut supported by other members [4]. - He argues that the current tight monetary policy is hindering economic recovery, advocating for a federal funds rate closer to 2% instead of the current level [4]. - Miran's stance reflects a deep understanding of the U.S. economic situation, emphasizing that high interest rates are suppressing economic growth and credit market activity [4]. Group 3: Industrial Policy - Miran advocates for gradually increasing tariffs and lowering the dollar's exchange rate to promote the return of manufacturing to the U.S. and reduce trade deficits [4]. - He believes that the U.S. has a unique advantage in the global trade system, and tariff policies can effectively adjust trade structures and optimize economic layouts [4]. - Despite criticism from some economists, this approach has gained traction as a mainstream economic policy under the Trump administration [4]. Group 4: Federal Reserve Reform - Miran's proposals for reforming the Federal Reserve challenge existing governance structures, which he believes are too closed and lead to "groupthink" [4]. - Suggested reforms include allowing the President to dismiss the Fed Chair and board members at any time, shortening board terms, and increasing legislative oversight of the Fed's budget [4]. - While some scholars criticize these proposals for potentially undermining the Fed's independence, they reflect Miran's desire for a more flexible and responsive decision-making process to address complex economic challenges [4]. Group 5: Controversy and Criticism - Miran's views have not been universally accepted, facing strong opposition from economists like Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, who critiques his tariff and monetary policies [5]. - Krugman argues that Miran's policy framework is controversial and may not succeed in practice [5]. - Nonetheless, Miran's perspectives provide a new lens on U.S. economic policy, particularly regarding the balance between globalization and domestic economic interests, challenging traditional free trade notions [5].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the controversial stance of Stephen Miran, a newly appointed member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), who advocates for a significant reduction in interest rates, suggesting a drop of 50 basis points instead of the consensus 25 basis points. His views raise concerns about potential political influence on the Federal Reserve's independence due to his dual role in the White House and the Fed [2][6]. Group 1: Miran's Economic Philosophy - Miran argues that current interest rates are excessively high and proposes that the appropriate federal funds rate should be around 2%, which is nearly 2 percentage points lower than the current level [2][6]. - He promotes a new industrial policy aimed at bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. through a gradual increase in tariffs, rather than imposing large tariffs all at once [5][6]. - Miran's strategy includes using tariffs to reduce the fiscal deficit and enhance credit supply, which he claims could lower the neutral interest rate by 0.7 percentage points [6]. Group 2: Background and Career - Miran was born in 1983 in Rockland County, New York, and was influenced by his parents' public service careers, which fostered his interest in policy [2]. - He initially studied biochemistry at Boston University before shifting to economics, inspired by the skepticism of economist David Hume [3]. - After earning his PhD from Harvard, Miran worked in finance and later served as a senior advisor under Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, contributing to significant economic relief plans during the pandemic [4][5]. Group 3: Controversies and Criticism - Critics, including Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, argue that Miran's views may lend intellectual support to Trump's tariff policies, which they see as problematic [6][7]. - Some economists describe Miran's proposals as lacking practicality and being overly reliant on selective data, suggesting a disconnect from serious policy considerations [7]. - Miran's push for reform within the Federal Reserve, including changes to governance and decision-making processes, challenges the traditional consensus-driven approach of the institution [8][9].

Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints - The steel market may continue to oscillate after the holiday. If downstream demand recovers beyond expectations in October, steel prices may rise further. The content of the "15th Five - Year Plan" will also affect market fluctuations. Attention should be paid to peak - season demand, coal mine safety inspections, overseas tariffs, and domestic macro and industrial policies [4]. - The coking coal and coke market is expected to adjust and consolidate before the holiday. In the later stage, focus should be on the recovery of coal mine production and downstream steel demand [8]. - Iron ore prices may face pressure at high levels, with a weakening market sentiment. Although the domestic manufacturing steel demand is expected to gradually recover in September, the sharp decline in terminal demand in the third quarter may not be fully priced in [14]. - For ferroalloys, due to the influence of surrounding varieties, the previous short positions of silicon - iron and manganese - silicon can be reduced, and the current price is not suitable for chasing short positions [17][18]. Summary by Category Steel - **Related Information**: The Politburo will hold the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee from October 20th to 23rd.
