Group 1: Economic Conditions - The U.S. economy is facing a dual challenge of "low employment and high inflation," with a contradiction between weak hiring intentions and strong consumer spending [1] - Current inflation pressures are partly attributed to tariff policies leading to increased goods prices, rather than widespread economic overheating [1] - The labor market shows signs of concern, with reduced hiring potentially leading to higher unemployment rates, indicating a risk of economic downturn [4] Group 2: Monetary Policy and Quantitative Tightening - The Federal Reserve is nearing the end of its quantitative tightening (QT) policy, with ongoing monitoring of financial system liquidity, including repo rate fluctuations [3] - Historical experiences, such as the liquidity shortage during QT in September 2019, have prompted the Fed to introduce permanent repo tools to mitigate potential pressures [3] - The Fed's decision-making will remain data-dependent, with a gradual approach to interest rate cuts being favored by officials [5] Group 3: Internal Policy Debates - There is a notable divergence in risk assessments within the Federal Reserve, with some officials concerned about persistent inflation while others focus on labor market deterioration risks [1][5] - The internal policy debates are seen as beneficial, allowing officials to avoid the illusion of a "no-risk policy path" and to treat quarterly policy forecasts as dynamic probability distributions [4] Group 4: Global Implications - The current policy transition period is expected to test the resilience of the U.S. economy and will have implications for the global financial landscape through interest rate transmission mechanisms [7] - Investors anticipate a potential interest rate cut of 25 basis points at the end of October, but the long-term path will depend on evolving data and external uncertainties [7]

格隆汇9月19日｜丹斯克银行分析师Mohamad Al-Saraf在报告中表示，由于美联储不太可能像市场预期 的那样激进降息，美元存在短期反弹空间。他指出："尽管市场当前预期美联储将在10月和12月连续降 息，但我们认为，经济数据更支持'渐进式降息'策略，预计美联储会在12月再次降息。"不过，Al-Saraf 补充道，从长期来看，美元仍将走向疲软。丹斯克银行预计，未来12个月欧元对美元汇率将升至1.23， 这一判断的支撑因素包括：欧元区与美国的利差优势、欧洲市场逐步复苏、投资者为对冲美元贬值风险 而调整持仓，以及市场对美国机构的信心下降。 来源：格隆汇APP ...

白宫国家经济委员会主任哈塞特对美联储周四降息25个基点的决定表示了认可，尽管此前美国总统特朗 普及其盟友一直施压要求采取更大幅度的行动。 过去，特朗普曾对美联储发起猛烈抨击，给主席鲍威尔起了个"太迟先生"的绰号，并呼吁进行迅速而激 进的降息。特朗普曾暗示，基准的联邦基金利率应降低3个百分点，这一立场并未在最新发布的FOMC 对未来政策路径的更新预测中得到体现。 哈塞特指出，美国第三季度经济增长强劲，趋势超过3%，这种情况通常不支持降低利率，尤其是在通 胀率仍高于美联储2%目标的情况下。 然而，特朗普曾表示，需要降息来支持陷入困境的美国房地产市场，并帮助管理国家37万亿美元债务的 融资成本。 哈塞特说，评估当前各种经济变量并决定进行渐进式降息，是一个恰当的举动。他的名字也曾出现在特 朗普挑选明年接替鲍威尔担任美联储主席的候选人短名单上。哈塞特说： "我认为，对美联储来说，审视所有模型，听取各种不同意见，然后决定'在一个通胀正在减 速但仍高于目标的经济体中，我们究竟该怎么做？'是更为审慎的做法，他们在这个决定中 做出了折中选择，我认为那可能是一个相当审慎的决定。" 在周四接受采访时，哈塞特指出，本届政府以及新任美 ...

Core Viewpoint - The offshore RMB to USD exchange rate surged significantly, reaching a high of 7.1182, marking the first time since November 6, 2024, that it has surpassed 7.12, driven by a combination of stable exchange rate policies, strong domestic equity market performance attracting foreign investment, and rising expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [1][1][1] Group 1 - The offshore RMB appreciated over 340 points in a single day, indicating strong market momentum [1] - Analysts attribute the RMB's performance to a balanced approach in exchange rate policy and favorable conditions in the domestic equity market [1][1] - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals have heightened expectations for interest rate cuts, with officials indicating a potential 25 basis point cut in September [1][1][1] Group 2 - Market attention is focused on two key upcoming data releases: the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index and the non-farm payroll report [1][1] - Deutsche Bank's chief economist suggests that the Fed is likely to adopt a gradual approach to rate cuts, depending on economic data performance [1][1][1]
