SHMET 网讯：英国央行将于北京时间周四19:02公布决议，较往常推迟两分钟，以纪念欧洲胜利日80周年。该央行预计将降息25个基点，并可能暗示6 月将进一步降息。这或将使其自2009年以来首次连续降息，而美国贸易冲突正令经济增长前景蒙上阴影。 彭博调查的32位经济学家均预计，货币政策委员会将把基准利率从4.5%降至4.25%，其中20人认为至少有一位委员会支持降息50个基点。期货市场也几 乎完全定价了本次25个基点的降息，并认为下月再次降息的概率较高。 自去年8月以来，英国央行已三次降息，并于今年2月暂停行动。但由于此后美国总统特朗普宣布的高额对等关税可能拖累全球经济，交易员预计英国央 行年底前会将利率降至3.5%。 投票分歧 本次降息决议预计将获得全票通过，仅三位受访经济学家认为会有委员支持按兵不动。这显示央行内部鸽派倾向已逐渐形成，部分委员主张更激进宽松 以规避增长风险。 其中最鸽派的委员丁格拉（Swati Dhingra）和泰勒（Alan Taylor）持此立场。而曼恩（Catherine Mann）则在2月意外支持降息50个基点，3月又转向多 数派暂缓行动。 另一位关键人物是负责市场的副行长拉姆斯登 ...
