鲍威尔在IMF最新讲话中高调宣示：美联储必须独立，绝不受政治干预。他宁愿背负"太迟先生"的骂 名，也绝不冒险出错。 这些言论以及特朗普关于解雇鲍威尔的公开言论引发了华尔街的不安，投资者担心央行的独立性可能受 到威胁。特朗普随后表示，他无意解雇美联储主席。 在FOMC决策者于5月6日至7日召开下一次会议之前，美联储于上周六开始其惯常的静默期。预计官员 们将在这次会议上连续第三次维持利率稳定。鲍威尔和其他官员表示愿意暂时按兵不动，部分原因是为 了防范特朗普的关税政策可能导致持续通胀。 鲍威尔一直强调央行独立性的重要性，并表示美联储官员在制定政策时不会考虑政治因素。鲍威尔在此 前的评论中说，他和他的同事们不会被免职，除非"有原因"。 鲍威尔4月16日在芝加哥经济俱乐部（Economic Club of Chicago）表示，美联储的独立性"在华盛顿和国 会得到了广泛的理解和支持，这一点在国会非常重要"。 他在那次活动中补充说："我们绝不会受到任何政治压力的影响。人们想说什么就说什么。这很好。这 不是问题。但我们将严格按照自己的意愿行事，不考虑政治或任何其他外在因素。" 据听取了美联储主席杰罗姆鲍威尔（Jerome ...

据德意志银行研究部称，尽管金融市场近期波动较大，但与以往衰退时期相比，当前股市及其他主要资 产的表现显示，交易员尚未充分计入衰退风险。 这是来自德意志银行策略师亨利·艾伦（Henry Allen）的好消息，但也是某种意义上的坏消息。他说 道， 至于油价，这一资产类别更为复杂，因为油价有时会因过高而成为衰退诱因。但艾伦着眼于反映经济下 行的油价走势，并指出自"解放日"以来布伦特原油价格仅下跌了10%，远低于新冠疫情和金融危机时期 三分之二的跌幅。艾伦提到： 尽管市场已对关税可能带来的经济影响作出反应，但艾伦指出，投资者仍不愿完全接受经济将陷入衰退 的前景。 "市场显然不认为衰退是不可避免的，尤其是在关税在最新的90天延期之后仍未正式实施的 情况下……毕竟，股市的跌幅比近几次衰退要浅，信用利差的扩大和油价的下跌幅度也更温 和。" 坏消息在于，这意味着一旦真正发生衰退，市场可能面临"显著的下行风险"，因为"目前主要资产类别 的走势还未显现出与过去几次衰退一致的迹象"。 "油价走势受到诸多混杂因素影响，但目前油价仅出现温和下跌，表明投资者尚未预期全球 经济将出现大幅放缓。" 在美国股市方面，标普500指数截至周三相较 ...

广发证券资深宏观分析师 陈嘉荔 gfchenjiali@gf.com.cn 摘要 广发宏观郭磊团队 第一， 在美联储2025年3月议息会议中 ，FOMC官员一致投票保持联邦基金利率目标区间在4.25-4.5%， 这是自2024年9月启动降息后第二次暂停。同时，美联储表示将进一步放缓资产负债表缩减节奏。值得注意 的是，美联储内部对利率决策意见一致，但对控通胀缺乏进展背景下放缓缩表意见并不一致，美联储理事沃勒 就对减缓QT表示反对。 第二， 整体看，3月FOMC声明较预期更加鸽派。一是声明认为政策变化导致经济前景的不确定性在增加； 二是减缓QT开始的时间较预期更早。美联储决定从4月开始，将国债月度赎回上限从250亿美元调降至50亿 美元，同时保持机构债券和机构抵押贷款支持证券每月赎回上限在350亿美元。在前期报告《新公布的1月美 联储会议纪要说了什么》中我们曾做过分析，美国政府债务上限于今年1月到期，美国财政部动用TGA （Treasury General Account, TGA）账户资金来维持日常运转。为避免未来债务上限变化可能导致银行储 备（reserves）出现大幅波动，放缓资产负债表缩减具有合理性 。 ...
