杰富瑞分析师托马斯·西蒙斯（Thomas Simons）与迈克尔·巴科拉斯（Michael Bacolas）将重点关注鲍威尔是否会说出一个关键短语："处于良好状态（In a good place）"。若他提及该表述，可能意味着其不倾向于明年1月进一步降息；若未使用，则可能为本月后更多降息留有空间。 相反，他们将密切关注美联储在为期两天的会议结束后的官方声明，以及美联储主席鲍威尔在新闻发布会答问时的措辞与语气变化。 "美联储本周沟通的核心，在于鲍威尔会将政策描述为'处于良好状态'（正如2025年初美联储按兵不动时那样），还是重复'适度限制性'或'略高于中性水 平'的表述。若为后者，2026年初进一步降息的大门将持续敞开，"他们在《财富》杂志看到的一份客户报告中表示，"我们预计他不会称政策利率'处于良好 状态'，但这仍是需重点关注的短语。" 根据芝商所美联储观察工具（CME FedWatch Tool）的数据，30天联邦基金利率期货显示，美联储本周再次降息的概率达90%。但华尔街早已消化这一预期 ——标普500指数接近历史高点。事实上，交易员已不再关注降息决策本身（他们视其为既定事实），尽管联邦公开市场委员会（F ...

Core Viewpoint - Morgan Stanley reaffirms that AI-driven investment demand will continue to grow, leading to an expansion in the credit market, with total investment-grade bond issuance expected to surge to $2.25 trillion, while credit spreads will only widen modestly [1][3]. Group 1: AI Investment and Credit Market Outlook - Morgan Stanley predicts that U.S. investment-grade bond issuance will reach $2.25 trillion in 2026, a 25% year-over-year increase, with net issuance expected to hit $1 trillion, reflecting a 60% year-over-year growth [7]. - The firm believes that credit markets will be the primary funding channel for the next wave of AI investments, which are expected to be relatively insensitive to macroeconomic conditions such as interest rates and economic growth [4]. - There is a divergence in client feedback regarding the growth expectations from AI capital expenditures, with some questioning why higher growth is not anticipated [5].
