美国GDP增长超预期之后
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-12-24 15:12
受消费者和企业支出强韧等因素的推动,美国经济在第三季度创出两年来最快增速。美国经济分析局当地时间周二发布的报告显示,第三季度经通胀调整后 的国内生产总值折合年率增长4.3%。此前第二季度增长3.8%,同样受到居民支出带动。数据公布后不久,下届美联储主席热门候选人哈西特表示,美国降 息节奏仍不够快。财政部长贝森特更是称,2%通胀目标并非铁律,建议美联储引入"区间制"。 创两年来增速最快 受消费者支出、出口和政府支出共同推动,美国经济在第三季度以两年来的最快速度扩张,表现远超市场预期。 美国商务部经济分析局(BEA)周二公布的数据显示,经通胀调整后的美国第三季度实际GDP年化季率初值录得4.3%,较第二季度的3.8%进一步提升。该 报告因政府停摆而延期发布,而分析师此前预测三季度增长率为3.3%。 然而,通胀水平仍高于美联储的预期目标。美联储青睐的通胀指标——个人消费支出指数(PCE)在上季度按年率计算上涨2.8%,高于第二季度的2.1%。剔 除波动较大的食品和能源价格后,核心PCE通胀率为2.9%,高于第二季度的2.6%。 作为美国经济最大引擎、约占经济活动70%的消费者支出,在第三季度的年化增速达到3.5%, ...
美财长贝森特提议:待通胀达标后,应改革美联储2%目标制

以下文章来源于金十财经 ,作者金十小金 金十财经 . 每日8点,为您呈上金融投资行业的国际动态、财经数据和市场观察。 这位财政部长表示,"我们理解美国民众正在承受痛苦。"物价水平"已经变得非常高",他将此 归咎于拜登政府。他认为,通胀现在"开始回落",部分原因在于租金的下降——而他认为,租 金的上涨是由无证移民的激增所驱动的。 尽管一些经济学家指出,最近的CPI报告可能因联邦政府在10月和11月初停摆期间让员工休假 而存在测量问题,但贝森特表示,他认为"这是一个相当准确的数字"。他说,尽管包括能源在 内的一些分项指数出现上涨,但可观测的实时数据显示它们正在下降。 来源 | 金十财经 美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)支持这样一种观点: 一旦美国可持续地将物 价涨幅控制回2%的水平,就应重新考虑美联储的2%通胀目标。 "一旦我们回到2%——我认为这一目标已近在眼前——我们就可以展开讨论: 设定一个目标 区间是否更为明智? "贝森特在《All-In Podcast》的访谈中表示,"待我们重新'锚定'该目标 后,便可讨论是否采用区间制。" 贝森特在12月22日发布的这次访谈中建议, 相关讨论或 ...
贝森特称2%通胀目标并非铁律 建议美联储引入‘区间制’
Feng Huang Wang· 2025-12-23 22:49
上周,美国劳工部发布的数据显示,11月消费者价格指数(CPI)同比上涨2.7%,低于9月的3%,经济 学家先前预计涨幅应为3.1%。 12月24日,美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)表示,当美国通胀率能持续降至2%水平,美联 储就应该重新评估2%的通胀目标。 贝森特在接受采访时说道:"一旦我们回到2%——我认为这一点已经在视野之内——我们就可以讨论一 个问题:改为设定一个通胀区间是否更为明智?" 贝森特在采访中建议,讨论的焦点可能围绕将通胀目标调整为1.5%至2.5%的区间,或1%至3%的区间展 开,"这将是一场非常充分、非常深入的讨论。" 2012年,美联储正式地、公开地确立了2%的通胀目标,这也被全球许多中央银行所采用。 贝森特表示,追求"精确到小数点后一位的确定性本身就很荒谬"。他补充道,如果在通胀高于目标的情 况下调整目标,可能会给外界留下"只要通胀高于某个水平,政策就总能向上调整"的印象。 贝森特说道:"在达到目标并维持公信力之前,要重新锚定通胀预期是非常困难的。"他承认美国家庭正 面临可负担性方面的压力,这种不满情绪在11月举行的选举中有所体现,导致共和党失利。 "我们理解美 ...
