从关税的实际影响来看，即便谈判取得一定进展，关税问题依旧是悬在经济头上的 "达摩克利斯之 剑"。耶鲁大学预算实验室的估计数据令人警醒，平均有效关税率将达到 17.8%，这一数字相较于特朗 普开始第二任期时的约 2.5% 大幅攀升。如此高的关税，会直接加剧通胀压力，同时对经济增长形成阻 碍。据测算，这足以使物价水平上升约 1.7%，失业率上升 0.35%，对美国经济的稳定运行造成冲击。 再者，90 天的关税暂停期非但没有消除不确定性，反而延长了这种不稳定状态。只要贸易谈判一天不 结束，企业就会因未来的不确定性而采取保守策略，推迟采购、投资和招聘决策。这种观望态度会导致 经济活动放缓，抑制经济的活力与增长动力。 对于美联储而言，其面临的抉择堪称艰难。在对抗通胀与支持经济增长之间，美联储必须小心翼翼地寻 找平衡。短期内，美联储只能保持耐心，维持利率稳定，并密切关注通胀预期。但这一策略很可能招致 总统的不满，因为稳定利率可能无法满足刺激经济增长的短期需求。而这种谨慎的态度，极有可能导致 美联储对经济疲软的反应滞后，无法及时采取有效措施应对潜在的经济下滑风险。 STARTRADER发现本周，全球投资者因贸易紧张局势缓和 ...
