中美交锋仅2月，特朗普心里直打鼓？美联储一把手说出残酷现 实！ 据新华社报道，美国财政部长贝森特日前接受媒体采访时说，美国经济可能会有一些"调整"，但这是"健康的"。不过，他"无法保 证"美国经济不会在特朗普任期内出现衰退。3月以来，外界围绕美国关税政策加剧经济衰退前景的议论日甚，经济数据疲软和股 市持续下跌进一步强化"特朗普衰退"担忧。美国政府高官轮番在媒体面前为当前政策与经济形势辩解，推出一系列"新概念"，引 发议论的同时遭到媒体和专家诟病。 近日美国总统特朗普在接受福克斯新闻台采访时，对美国经济衰退威胁直接提问避而不答。他说，在他执政期间美国经济将是世 界历史上最强的。在直接被问及美国是否会在2025年出现经济衰退时，特朗普说："我们将拥有全世界、全球有史以来最强大的经 济"。特朗普补充说，现在正在为美国经济投入大量资金。早些时候，美联储主席鲍威尔在媒体负面预测的背景下不排除美国经济 衰退的可能性，同时指出，衰退的可能性一直存在的。他还承认，市场存在异常高的不确定性。 此时从国际关系的角度来看，特朗普也意识到，与中国全面对抗并不是一个明智的选择。中美两国作为全球最大的两个经济体， 其关系的好坏不仅关系到 ...

Economic Outlook - The Federal Reserve has revised its economic growth forecast for 2025 from 2.1% to 1.7%[1] - The unemployment rate for 2025 is projected to increase from 4.3% to 4.4%[1] - PCE inflation for 2025 has been adjusted upward from 2.5% to 2.7%, while core PCE inflation is raised from 2.5% to 2.8%[1] Monetary Policy Adjustments - The Fed will slow down the balance sheet reduction starting April 1, reducing the cap on Treasury securities from $25 billion to $5 billion, while maintaining the pace for agency debt and mortgage-backed securities at $35 billion[3] - The overnight reverse repurchase agreement (ONRRP) usage has significantly decreased to below $20 billion, indicating a need to slow down the balance sheet reduction[3] Market Reactions - The market responded positively to the Fed's meeting, with a significant drop in the 1-year SOFR OIS indicating a dovish expectation[8] - Powell's dismissal of recession risks and inflation concerns has boosted risk appetite across various asset classes, reminiscent of the "transitory" inflation narrative from 2021[8] Risks - Potential risks include unexpected increases in U.S. inflation, surging oil prices, and possible interventions by the Trump administration in Fed policies[9]

Core Viewpoint - The likelihood of the U.S. economy entering a recession in the foreseeable future is low, but growth is expected to slow down, with a possibility of a brief stagnation or decline, although this is considered unlikely. Current high inflation, exacerbated by rising tariffs, raises the potential for stagflation, but any occurrence would not be considered true stagflation [1][14]. Current Economic Status - The U.S. economy has shown resilience despite predictions of recession, with mixed economic indicators suggesting both recessionary signals and robust growth metrics. The Federal Reserve's recent meetings indicate a stable economic outlook, although uncertainty has increased [1][4][8]. - Various indicators point towards recession risks, including a significant drop in consumer confidence and weak retail sales data. However, the relationship between soft indicators and actual economic performance is often tenuous [5][7]. - The Atlanta Fed's prediction of a 2.8% decline in GDP for Q1 is primarily attributed to temporary factors, and economists still expect continued growth, albeit at a reduced rate [6][8]. Recession Indicators - Soft indicators, such as consumer confidence and small business optimism, have declined, but actual employment data remains strong, with job growth and low unemployment rates indicating a stable labor market [7][8]. - The mixed signals from economic data necessitate careful analysis to distinguish between temporary fluctuations and underlying trends [4][5]. Future Outlook - If current economic policies remain unchanged, the probability of recession may increase, potentially leading to a transition from soft to hard indicators of economic decline. However, historical patterns suggest that political pressures may lead to policy adjustments to mitigate economic damage [10][11]. - The impact of tariffs on inflation is projected to be temporary, with estimates suggesting an increase of 0.5-0.8 percentage points in inflation rates. The Federal Reserve is inclined to overlook these temporary effects, focusing instead on broader economic stability [14][15]. - The resilience of the U.S. economy, particularly through technological innovation and infrastructure investment, is expected to support growth while controlling inflation, although significant unforeseen challenges could still arise [15].

Core Viewpoint - The Bank of England decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 4.5%, reflecting the current economic uncertainties and the need for careful monitoring of both global and domestic economic developments [2][5]. Economic Conditions - The UK economy is facing stagnation, with January GDP unexpectedly contracting by 0.1% and manufacturing PMI dropping to a 14-month low of 46.9, indicating a continued contraction in the manufacturing sector [3][11][12]. - Inflation unexpectedly rebounded, with January CPI rising to 3%, surpassing the previous month's 2.5% and exceeding market expectations, which raises concerns about the sustainability of continuous rate cuts [6][11]. Inflation and Monetary Policy - The Bank of England's decision to hold rates steady is influenced by rising inflation concerns, particularly due to a £100 billion fiscal expansion plan and potential cost pass-through from increased minimum wages and social security contributions [6][13]. - The central bank slightly raised its inflation forecast to 3.75%, indicating persistent inflationary pressures that complicate the monetary policy landscape [6][15]. External Factors - The uncertainty stemming from Trump's tariff policies poses a significant threat to the UK economy, with potential tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other sectors that could impact a quarter of UK exports to the US [7][8][9]. - Analysts suggest that the Bank of England is waiting for more clarity on the impact of these tariffs before making further monetary policy decisions [9]. Future Outlook - The risk of stagflation is increasing, with expectations of "weak growth + high inflation" in 2025, necessitating a careful balance between curbing inflation and supporting economic growth [12][16]. - Market expectations indicate a likelihood of two additional rate cuts within the year, with a 77% probability of a cut in May and a 55.6% chance in August [15][16].

Global Macro - The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at the March FOMC meeting, aligning with market expectations, indicating a challenging environment for rate cuts amid stagflation concerns [2][3] - The economic forecast has been downgraded, with 2025 GDP growth revised from 2.1% to 1.7%, and the unemployment rate adjusted from 4.3% to 4.4%, reflecting a stagflation narrative [6][8] - The Fed's decision to slow down balance sheet reduction from $25 billion to $5 billion per month is seen as a proactive measure to mitigate risks amid economic uncertainties [17][20] Interest Rate Outlook - The median interest rate forecast suggests two rate cuts, but the number of committee members supporting this has decreased from 15 to 11, indicating a higher threshold for future cuts [6][8] - The current unemployment rate of 4.1% is expected to rise to 4.4% by the end of 2025, which historically correlates with recessionary conditions [8][10] - The Fed faces pressure from the White House regarding high interest rates, which conflict with fiscal goals such as reducing the deficit and encouraging manufacturing return [22][27] Economic Projections - The economic projections indicate a shift towards a potential shallow recession, with the likelihood of rate cuts increasing as economic conditions evolve [22][27] - The Fed's economic outlook reflects a balance of risks, with inflation expectations rising among committee members, complicating the path for rate cuts [5][6] - The report highlights the uncertainty surrounding Trump's policies, which may impact economic stability and the Fed's decision-making process [3][22]
