深夜,美联储给世界浇了一盆凉水

昨晚美国7月PPI数据直接打掉了市场大幅降息的幻想,甚至连9月是否降息也变得不那么笃定。 7月PPI环比涨幅从0.00%飙升至0.9%——这种跳升,年化就接近11%,非常夸张——直接把市场"温和通 胀"的剧本撕了。而且上涨核心动力来自服务价格和关税传导,说明即使消费者现在还没完全感受到, 后面也可能通过商品和服务价格慢慢体现出来。数据公布后,市场完全放弃了50个基点降息的预期。 让我们感受最深的是,圣路易斯联储主席穆萨莱姆在数据发布后的讲话。 首先,他接受的是CNBC长达14分钟的电视专访,意图很明显直接面向专业投资者。这与近期美联储官 员在某个俱乐部、某个协会的低调演讲不同。 穆萨莱姆说了几句挺关键的话,但"字字插中要害": 来源:金融界 2)核心PCE通胀率在7月可能从一个月前的2.8%回升至2.9%——美联储直接发出对关键数据的预测,非 常罕见,几乎等于官方剧透。 3)企业告诉我们,成本传导大约需要三到六个月——关税的影响还没完全显现出来。 4)关税对通胀的影响很可能在未来几个月消退,但有相当大的可能会更持久——他没完全唱衰,但意 思是别太乐观,关税的通胀影响可能比想象的更顽固。 降息故事又被搅了。这是 ...

【环球时报报道 记者 何珊】多家外媒15日援引挪威媒体报道称,美国总统特朗普上月底致电北约前秘书长、挪威财政大臣斯托尔滕贝格,在探讨 贸易问题的同时,明确表达获得诺贝尔和平奖的意愿。挪威政府官员随后证实,这并非特朗普首次在与斯托尔滕贝格的通话中提及诺奖一事。 据报道,每年由挪威议会任命的五人委员会将从全球数百名候选人中遴选诺贝尔和平奖获奖者,最终名单于10月在奥斯陆公布。白宫日前发布的 一份公告称,阿塞拜疆、亚美尼亚、柬埔寨、加蓬、巴基斯坦、以色列和卢旺达政府均支持特朗普获得诺奖。特朗普本人亦多次公开表达对获得 该奖项的期望。 多家媒体提到,就在7月31日,白宫宣布对来自挪威的进口商品征收15%关税,与欧盟税率持平。斯托尔滕贝格日前表示,挪美两国关于关税的谈 判仍在持续进行中。对于媒体关于此次通话与诺奖关联性的问题,白宫与挪威诺贝尔委员会尚未回应。 特朗普曾多次流露出对未能获得诺奖的不满。今年6月,他在自创的社交平台"真实社交"上发文称:"无论我在俄乌、巴以、伊核等问题上取得什 么成果,他们都不会给我诺贝尔奖!但民众心中有数,这才是我在乎的!"今年2月会见以色列总理内塔尼亚胡时,特朗普曾抱怨:"他们从不给我 ...

芝加哥联储主席:通胀路径仍待确认 9月降息需更多数据支撑
Zhi Tong Cai Jing· 2025-08-15 15:41
他重申了本周早些时候的观点,即对于7月消费者价格指数(CPI)中显示的高企服务业通胀感到担忧,但 强调不应对单月数据反应过度,包括周五公布的进口价格上涨数据。 今年以来,美联储官员一直按兵不动,维持利率不变,以观察关税和其他政策变化对美国经济的影响。 根据利率期货市场的定价,投资者普遍押注美联储将在9月会议上重启降息。古尔斯比则强调,希望等 待更多经济数据出炉,并指出美国经济"依然有很多韧性"。 美国芝加哥联储主席古尔斯比表示,在确信持续的通胀压力未再升温之前,他希望至少再看到一份通胀 数据。 古尔斯比周五在接受采访时表示,近期的通胀数据"有些参差不齐",他认为"至少还需要再看一份数 据,才能判断我们是否依然走在'黄金路径'上。" 与此同时,美国工业产出在7月环比下降0.1%,占比四分之三的制造业产出在6月上修后保持不变,采 矿和公用事业产出双双下滑。制造业年初曾在关税出台前接到大量订单,但自此以后,受需求降温、资 本支出放缓及贸易政策不确定性影响,产量趋于疲软。生产商还面临消费者支出不均、关税推高部分原 材料价格等挑战。 在贸易政策方面,美国总统特朗普周五在飞往阿拉斯加与俄罗斯总统普京会晤途中表示,将在未来 ...
