Monetary Policy - Powell indicated that the Fed's dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability faces threats, suggesting that there is no risk-free policy path [2][17]. - The recent decision to lower interest rates was influenced by increased risks to employment, reflecting a shift in risk balance [2][17]. - Powell stated that the current policy stance remains "moderately restrictive," allowing for further rate cuts if labor market weaknesses outweigh inflationary pressures [5][18].

摩根士丹利美股投资组合经理Andrew Slimmon认为，尽管标普500指数估值很高，但今年剩余时间内美国股市的牛市可能只会暂停一段时间。科技、金融和工业板块这些更具周期性的股票略显“超买”，但需要“拿住”，今年仍可能继续表现良好，部分原因是美联储上周刚刚重启降息周期，且经济衰退的迹象尚未显现。现在临近第四季度，股市仓位调整并非大势所趋，因为年初至今的赢家往往会在最后3个月继续发力。“市场大幅轮动”通常不会发生在第四季度。企业2025年和2026年的盈利最终可能会强于华尔街的预测，因为迄今为止，关税尚未造成许多人担心的拖累。部分企业已经削减成本以抵消关税的影响并保持利润率，这可能是近期美国招聘放缓的原因之一，企业可能“非常谨慎”地将关税成本转嫁给消费者。Slimmon表示，自己经常接到理财顾问的电话，询问美国股市何时可能回调，因为客户手头有现金可以投资。随着美联储重启降息，将现金投入货币市场基金的吸引力似乎有所减弱，因此投资者正在寻找更好的投资对象。尽管自己认为市场已经过度波动，但美国股市的上涨可能只会经历“暂停”，而非回调，部分原因是许多人“袖手旁观”，希望回调成为投资机会。 ...

周二公布的美国9月标普全球服务业PMI初值录得53.9，低于市场预期54，前值位54.5；美国9月标普全球制造业PMI初值 录得52，符合市场预期，前值位53。 标普全球首席经济学家威廉姆森表示，9月份产出进一步强劲增长，为美国企业今年迄今表现最好的一个季度画上了圆 满的句号。PMI调查数据与美国经济第三季度2.2%的年化增长率一致。然而，月度数据显示，经济增长已从7月份的近 期峰值放缓，9月份企业也缩减了招聘，未来生产面临一些下行风险。需求疲软的情况限制了企业定价权。尽管关税再 次被认为是制造业和服务业投入成本上升的一个驱动因素，但能够提高销售价格并将这些成本转嫁给客户的公司数量有 所下降，这暗示利润率受到挤压，但对通胀放缓是个好兆头。制造业方面也有迹象表明，令人失望的销售增长已导致库 存以前所未有的速度积累，这也可能在未来几个月进一步帮助缓解通胀。尽管如此，调查数据仍表明，未来几个月消费 者通胀仍将高于央行2%的目标。 美联储主席鲍威尔表示，关税对消费者通胀的影响"并非主要因素"，我们预计关税将是一次性传导效应，到明年年底就 会结束。我们从不考虑政治因素。很多人不相信我们，很多人说我们是出于政治动机，这纯 ...
