Topics
Jerome Powell: 我认为,由于政府实施的重大政策变化,特别是贸易政策,美国经济将偏离充分就业和物价稳定的目标。关税可能会导致失业率上升和通货膨胀上升。我希望我们能够克服这些挑战,最终回到我们的目标。 Donald Trump: 鲍威尔对关税的反应过于迟缓和错误。他应该立即大幅度降低利率。鲍威尔的任期应该尽快结束。 Paul Gigot: 鲍威尔关于关税对通货膨胀和失业率影响的观点是正确的。关税如同税收,会阻碍经济增长。鲍威尔面临着两难选择:是支持经济增长还是控制通货膨胀?特朗普试图解雇鲍威尔,这将对美元的信誉和经济稳定造成严重损害。 Joe Sternberg: 关税造成的经济冲击将长期存在,这给美联储带来了巨大的挑战。美联储需要判断通货膨胀是暂时性还是永久性。特朗普的行为使得美联储成为了政治斗争的牺牲品。美国选民对通货膨胀的容忍度很低。 Mary Anastasia O'Grady: 只要央行不增加货币供应,关税不一定会导致通货膨胀。但关税会给物价上涨带来压力,如果消费者预期通胀上升,就会导致实际通胀。鲍威尔可以用关税来解释通货膨胀,而特朗普则会责怪美联储的宽松政策不足。特朗普试图解雇鲍威尔,这将引发法律诉讼,并增加市场不确定性,损害美元的信誉。美国经济需要的是税收改革、放松管制,而不是关税战。政府的财政赤字和债务也给美国经济带来了通货膨胀压力。如果解雇鲍威尔,特朗普任命的继任者会被市场视为缺乏独立性。货币政策无法弥补其他经济政策的错误。
