Katie Martin: 我认为特朗普总统对美联储的公开批评实际上突显了美联储的独立性,尤其是在鲍威尔主席的领导下。尽管特朗普的言论有时显得无理,但鲍威尔一直保持冷静和客观,坚持自己的职责,这反而加强了美联储的信誉。此外,尽管面临特朗普政府的压力和不确定性,仍然有很多人对担任美联储主席感兴趣,因为这个职位具有巨大的影响力和历史意义。目前,包括克里斯托弗·沃勒和两位名叫凯文的候选人在内的几个人正在积极争取这个职位,每个人都有自己独特的观点和政策立场。 Robert Armstrong: 我认为尽管特朗普总统经常表达对低利率的偏好,但他可能不像表面上看起来那么鸽派。考虑到拜登政府因通货膨胀而面临的困境,特朗普可能不愿意重蹈覆辙。此外,我认为关税对通货膨胀的影响可能不如预期那么严重,进口商和制造商可能会承担一部分关税成本。因此,美联储在制定货币政策时,应该更加关注就业市场的状况和通货膨胀的实际走势,而不是过分担心关税的影响。至于美联储主席的人选,我认为克里斯托弗·沃勒目前是最有希望的候选人,因为他的观点与当前的市场状况和政策需求更加契合。
