美联储主席杰伊·鲍威尔
Topics
美联储主席杰伊·鲍威尔:当前经济形势复杂,美联储可能面临两难境地,既要应对上升的失业率,又要应对上升的物价。此外,美国缺乏应对大规模关税的现代经验。 Jonathan Secreta:三月份工业生产下降主要受天气影响,制造业本身表现良好,但这是由于企业为避免关税上涨而提前采购造成的。如果欧亚国家升级报复性关税或停止购买美国商品,重型机械和航空部件的生产可能会放缓。 Mitchell Hartman:制造业数据向好,主要是因为企业为避免关税上涨而提前采购。 Richard Abulafia:航空航天制造业增长,但关税的不确定性导致了需求回落。 Oren Klatchken:上个月的制造业数据良好,但这只是暂时的,未来工业活动环境并不乐观。 Savannah Peters:关税正在改变消费者的消费行为,人们为了避免价格上涨而抢购商品,包括必需品和非必需品。消费者在经济不确定性面前会通过消费来获得掌控感,但区分必要的消费和恐慌性购物很重要。 Aaron Weber:我花了大约16万美元囤积进口香料,以应对关税上涨带来的价格上涨。 Christine Whelan:消费者在经济不确定性面前会通过消费来获得掌控感,但区分必要的消费和恐慌性购物很重要。 Raymond Olgado:我提前购买了一辆高端自行车,以应对关税上涨带来的价格上涨。 Regina Krause:我大量购买了韩国和日本的护肤品,以应对关税上涨带来的价格上涨,但这让我感到焦虑。

The Federal Reserve faces a difficult dilemma: rising unemployment calls for lower interest rates, while rising prices necessitate higher rates. This is further complicated by the lack of modern experience with large-scale tariffs, creating uncertainty in economic policy. The March industrial production report shows mixed signals, with manufacturing showing positive growth but concerns raised about the future.
  • Fed Chair Jay Powell expresses concern about the conflicting policy prescriptions for rising unemployment and inflation.
  • Industrial sector slowing, but manufacturing shows positive growth driven by tariff-led pre-buying.
  • Economists warn that the positive manufacturing data may be temporary and that the trade war poses a significant risk to U.S. exporters.
