Mark Zandi: 我关注美国当前的经济政策,特别是移民政策,因为它对经济有直接影响。我们讨论了最近的经济数据,包括GDP、失业救济申请、消费支出、通胀和消费者信心等。这些数据显示出经济的脆弱性,但硬数据仍然不错。我担心政策不确定性,例如关税政策和政府支出,以及潜在的政府停摆和债务上限问题,这些都可能导致经济增长放缓甚至衰退。 Cris deRitis: 我同意Mark的观点,经济确实存在脆弱性,消费者和企业都处于紧张状态。高利率对经济,特别是低收入家庭,持续产生影响。尽管硬数据显示经济表现良好,但消费者信心等软数据显示出潜在的弱点。如果我们不谨慎,这些弱点可能会转化为硬数据,导致支出和投资下降,失业率上升。 Marisa DiNatale: 我也同意经济的脆弱性正在增加。消费支出数据显示出疲软,但收入数据仍然强劲。通胀仍然高于美联储的目标水平。住房市场表现疲软。消费者信心指数大幅下降,反映出对未来经济的担忧。 Adam Ozimek: 我认为我们看到的是利率高于中性利率的滞后效应。经济增长正在逐渐放缓,这导致了经济疲软的迹象。通胀预期上升和财政支出持续高企,导致利率需要更长时间才能将经济恢复正常。我不认为中性利率已经达到峰值,我认为它可能高于疫情前的水平,但我们尚未达到。我看到的是经济缓慢增长,而不是更高的中性利率。我不认为不确定性正在显著影响大多数企业和消费者的投资决策,但它确实使美联储的工作更加困难。
