Topics
Jerome Powell:今年提高关税可能会推高物价,并对经济活动产生不利影响。美联储正在密切关注这些因素,以制定适当的货币政策,从而实现充分就业和物价稳定。我们必须在控制通胀和避免过度紧缩之间取得平衡,这需要仔细评估经济数据和全球发展趋势。 Donald Trump:我认为美联储主席是个愚蠢的人,他工作做得不好,而且总是太迟。他的政策对美国经济造成了损害,他应该更早地采取行动。如果他能更积极地降低利率,我们的经济会更好。我一直对他的表现感到失望,他需要为自己的错误负责。 Howard Schneider:美国经济增速有所放缓,但并不明显,就业增长依然稳健。然而,零售销售和工业生产出现疲软迹象。美联储目前面临的挑战是,经济数据尚未明确显示经济放缓或通胀快速上升,因此他们难以给出明确的利率指引。当前环境充满不确定性和波动性,美联储可能会选择观望一段时间,等待更明确的信号。
