经济增速放缓进一步削弱通胀持续性基础。高盛预测美国2024年GDP增速将放缓至1%，显著低于2.1%的潜在 增长率，失业率预计小幅攀升至4.5%。这种温和衰退压力已在实体经济显现：5月制造业PMI新订单指数连续 第三个月处于收缩区间，服务业PMI就业分项指数跌至2020年6月以来最低水平。 研报特别强调，关税冲击的通胀效应将集中体现在5-8月的物价报告中，此后同比基数效应将逐步消退。高盛 构建的通胀脉冲模型显示，关税对CPI的拉动效应将在2025年二季度转负，为美联储政策转向创造条件。但报 告警示，若贸易摩擦升级导致供应链持续紊乱，或引发"二次通胀"风险，这种情况将迫使央行重新评估降息路 径。 消费端动能减弱构成第二道通缩屏障。疫情期间累积的超额储蓄现已耗尽，美国家庭可支配收入中用于消费的 比例较峰值下降3.2个百分点。高盛消费者支出追踪指标显示，当前家庭消费能力较2021年下降17%，企业定价 权因需求疲软受到显著制约。这种转变与2022年形成鲜明对比，当时企业曾普遍观察到"消费者对提价容忍度 异常偏高"的现象。 高盛最新研报指出，尽管特朗普政府关税政策可能推高美国核心PCE通胀率至3.6%，但当前通胀上行 ...
