Group 1: Federal Reserve's Current Situation - The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the interest rate target range at 4.25% to 4.5% for the fifth consecutive time, with a 97.4% probability of no rate cut in July [1][3]. - The FOMC is reportedly divided into three factions: one advocating for immediate rate cuts, a middle group seeking more data, and a cautious faction waiting for clear signs of economic weakness [4][6]. Group 2: Key Players and Their Positions - The aggressive faction, represented by Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, is pushing for an immediate rate cut, citing concerns over a weakening labor market [5][6]. - Waller has publicly stated that a 25 basis point cut is reasonable, emphasizing the urgency of addressing labor market issues before they worsen [5][11]. - The middle faction, led by Mary Daly, is inclined to wait for more data before making any decisions on rate cuts, while the cautious faction, represented by Raphael Bostic, is wary of inflation and prefers to see clear economic signs before acting [6][8]. Group 3: Political Influences and Implications - The independence of the Federal Reserve is under significant political pressure, particularly from former President Trump, who has been perceived as attempting to influence Fed policies [8][9]. - Market observers are closely watching the July meeting for indications of the Fed's stance on independence and potential political influences, with September being viewed as a critical juncture for the institution [8][10]. - Waller's actions may also be seen as positioning himself for a potential future leadership role within the Fed, further complicating the political landscape [11][12].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the current economic conditions in the U.S. and the implications for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, particularly regarding interest rate decisions in light of inflation, employment, and trade agreements [2][3][10]. Group 1: Monetary Policy and Interest Rates - The probability of a rate cut in the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting is close to 0%, with a less than 60% chance for September, primarily due to stable employment and economic growth [2]. - Recent comments from Federal Reserve officials indicate a cautious approach to potential rate cuts, emphasizing the need for clearer economic signals before making decisions [3][10]. - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs has significantly decreased, which may influence the Fed's decision-making process regarding interest rates [5]. Group 2: Trade Agreements and Tariffs - The U.S. has reached trade agreements with key partners, including Japan and the EU, which has reduced uncertainty regarding tariffs [5]. - Current tariff levels are higher than before Trump's second term, but U.S. companies are absorbing some of these costs to maintain market share, indicating a potential impact on inflation [5]. - The article suggests that once tariffs are established, their inflation effects will be largely one-time and manageable, reducing the uncertainty that could hinder rate cuts [5][6]. Group 3: Inflation Trends - Current inflation levels have not shown significant increases, with the June CPI data indicating a year-over-year increase of 2.5% and core PCE inflation at 2.7% [7]. - Research indicates that inflation, excluding tariff impacts, is nearing the Fed's 2% target, suggesting that inflation concerns may not be a barrier to rate cuts [7][8]. Group 4: Employment and Economic Growth - Employment data shows signs of weakness, with only 147,000 new jobs added in June, primarily from government sectors, while private sector job growth appears stagnant [9]. - The article highlights concerns about the high unemployment rate among recent graduates and the potential for increased layoffs if labor demand continues to decline [9]. - Despite stable consumer spending and growth in the service sector, sectors sensitive to interest rates, such as manufacturing and real estate, are experiencing contraction, indicating a need for potential rate cuts to stimulate growth [9].

如果你以为美国总统和央行行长的关系总是客气礼貌、理性克制，至少表面上和气，那么特朗普的行为 总是能翻新你的认知。 尤其是"大而美法案"提出之后，特朗普的施压节奏明显加快。这个法案规模庞大，涉及减税、加关税、 扩投资，财政赤字直接冲破天花板。特朗普需要低利率来配合他的"大计划"：降低政府债务利息从而减 少支出，而且还需要刺激经济表面红火让人民感觉不到福利的削减，顺便为股市再推一把。 但鲍威尔不吃这套。他既不被装修预算吓住，也不被选举节奏绑架。他担心的不是总统的连任难题，而 是1970年代的"历史噩梦"。 7月24日，特朗普罕见现身联邦储备大楼，原本说是视察，结果更像是找茬。他直接呛鲍威尔，指着一 栋楼说翻新要花31亿美元，太离谱了！鲍威尔也不给面子，当场反驳说总统先生你数字错了，是25亿。 两人你一句我一句，仿佛下一秒就要掏出装修发票对账。 华尔街也很紧张，投行都纷纷警告说，一旦美联储被政治干预失去独立性，美元可能贬值、债市会动 荡、投资者信心将严重受损。摩根大通的分析师甚至预测，如果鲍威尔真的被炒掉，10年期美债收益率 可能直接上跳20个基点。 但这场冲突的真正焦点，根本不是大楼预算，而是——利率。 而特朗普 ...

资深市场专栏作家指出，特朗普公开施压，反而难达成降息目标。且白宫想以翻修预算超支为由罢免鲍 威尔，在法律和现实操作上障碍诸多，美联储历史上无主席任期内被强行解职先例。 7月24日，美国总统特朗普亲赴美联储总部，就高达25亿美元的"装修门"事件与鲍威尔交锋。国际关系 学院专家孙冰岩称，特朗普此举是"敲打"美联储，给鲍威尔施压。特朗普重申希望降息，估算降三个百 分点能省万亿美元。 来源:金融界 专家表示，特朗普此举是为经济"甩锅"、为未来布局，想让鲍威尔背经济放缓的锅，还想任命符合自己 意愿的新主席。这对美联储独立性造成冲击，若失去独立，美元和美国金融市场中立性将受影响。 ...

海外政策专题报告 特朗普能撼动美联储的独立性吗？ 证券研究报告 2025 年 07 月 29 日 核心结论 为何当前特朗普不满美联储？当前高利率环境使得特朗普政府需要负担更 高的利息支出。在联邦政府财政压力加剧的背景下，高利率环境导致利息支 出激增，进一步加剧了美国财政困境。随着美国联邦债务限额再度提升 5 万 亿至 41 万亿美元，根据粗略估算美联储每降息 25bp 可以使得美国年利息支 出降低超 1000 亿美元。这一成本敏感性，正是当前特朗普政府积极推动美 联储降息的关键动因之一。 以史为鉴，美联储的独立性被动摇过吗？从历史演进看，美联储的制度独立 性呈现渐进式强化特征。其货币政策始终将独立性置于政府财政压力之上， 并未因联邦债务危机改变政策框架。美联储主席更迭通常会显著影响货币政 策的具体实施路径、工具选择及沟通风格，但对政策框架的连续性影响有限。 如何判断后续美联储货币政策演变。关税政策对通胀的影响或到 7 月才逐步 显现。美国就业数据仍然强劲，但背后也有风险。市场预期最早今年 9 月开 始降息，年内降息概率最大为两次。最早的理事变动将在明年 1 月末，而鲍 威尔主席任期将于明年 5 月到期。若特朗 ...

作者丨孙长忠（清华大学全球私募股权研究院研究员） 编辑丨陆跃玲 美联储将于7月29日至30日召开货币政策例会。目前市场认为这次会议降息概率接近于0，9月 降息概率也不到60%，主要原因是美国6月CPI数据表明，美国关税的通胀效应有所显现，美 联储仍需观察后续影响，且目前美国就业和经济增长情况总体良好，不必急于降息。然而最 近一系列相关进展表明，美国经济金融状况和内外环境正在发生新的变化，美联储决策的重 点和平衡点也将相应发生变化，本月会议可能未必按市场预期行事。 美联储两位理事沃勒和鲍曼6月表示支持7月降息，主席鲍威尔随后在国会听证会上也没有排 除这一可能性，表示对关税向零售价格的传导小于预期持"完全开放"的态度并将影响美联储 的政策，同时也强调预计美国关税将在6到8月间对价格产生显著影响，表示要等待形势更加 清晰明朗再作决定。也有FOMC其他委员表示关税将会使美国通胀上升，应继续维持现行利率 不变，但最新的形势变化也可能使美联储官员调整想法。 美国关税政策不确定性或将减弱。从美国最近与日本和欧盟达成的协议来看，15%关税具有标 志性意义，因为日本和欧盟对美贸易分量更大（欧盟最大），可视为美国的关税要求底线。 ...

Group 1: Federal Reserve Policy Outlook - The Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting on July 29-30 is expected to maintain current interest rates, with a near-zero probability of a rate cut in July and less than 60% for September, primarily due to the recent CPI data indicating the inflation effects of tariffs [1] - Recent comments from Fed officials suggest a potential shift in policy considerations, with some members supporting a rate cut while others advocate for maintaining current rates due to rising inflation concerns from tariffs [1][2] - The uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies is diminishing, as recent agreements with Japan and the EU suggest a potential stabilization of tariff levels, which could reduce the Fed's concerns regarding inflation and influence their decision-making [2] Group 2: Inflation Trends - Current inflation levels in the U.S. are not showing significant increases, with the June CPI data indicating a projected PCE inflation growth of 2.5% year-on-year, and core PCE at 2.7% [3] - Research indicates that excluding tariff impacts, U.S. inflation has been close to the Fed's 2% target, suggesting that the inflationary pressure from tariffs may not be as significant as previously thought [3] - If consumers absorb one-third of the new tariffs, a permanent 10% increase in tariffs could raise PCE inflation by 0.3 percentage points this year, but this effect is expected to dissipate by next year [3] Group 3: Employment and Economic Growth - Recent employment data shows signs of weakness, with only 147,000 new jobs added in June, primarily from government sectors, while private sector job growth appears stagnant [4] - The private sector's employment situation is critical for understanding economic momentum, and recent adjustments suggest that previous job growth figures may have been overestimated [4] - Economic indicators such as retail sales and PMI show stability, but sectors sensitive to interest rates, like manufacturing and real estate, are experiencing contraction, indicating a need for potential rate cuts to stimulate consumer spending [4] Group 4: Market Sentiment and Fed Independence - There is growing concern regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve, especially with external pressures from the Trump administration advocating for rate cuts [5] - A rate cut in July could be perceived as yielding to political pressure, while a refusal to cut rates when appropriate could undermine the Fed's independence [5] - The possibility of postponing a rate cut until September is being considered by some FOMC members, reflecting a cautious approach to monetary policy [5]
