Katie Kramer: 尽管近期消费者信心调查显示悲观情绪上升,但实际的日常消费支出却持续增长,这表明美国经济的韧性可能比人们预期的要强。 Brian Moynihan: 美国银行的数据显示,截至目前,消费者的支出比去年同期增长了6%,这与其他一些零售商和航空公司观察到的消费者支出疲软形成对比。这种增长延续了去年第四季度的趋势,表明经济依然强劲。消费支出主要流向服务业和娱乐业,而对某些商品(如机票)的需求有所下降。尽管消费者信心调查显示悲观情绪,但实际消费支出持续增长,这表明经济韧性强于预期。美联储可能会维持利率不变,因为通货膨胀依然存在,并且关税对GDP增长的负面影响在未来几个月可能会更加明显。 Brian Moynihan: 消费者信心受多种因素影响,包括新的政府政策、利率上升以及对未来经济的不确定性。然而,消费者拥有大量的住房财富,并且股市已经调整,这些因素在一定程度上抵消了负面影响。 Brian Moynihan: 美联储将根据经济数据来决定货币政策。预计美国经济增长率将在今年放缓,关税对经济增长的负面影响可能高达40个基点。通货膨胀具有粘性,部分原因是关税导致物价上涨。美联储可能会在今年及明年维持利率不变。 Brian Moynihan: 银行面临着来自监管机构的压力,这些压力源于对声誉风险的担忧,以及对违规行为的零容忍政策。这导致银行需要投入大量资源来遵守规定,并面临着高额罚款的风险。 Brian Moynihan: 美国银行为7000万客户提供服务,涵盖各行各业,驳斥了该银行排斥保守派的说法。 Brian Moynihan: 商业界对放松管制持乐观态度,但对关税对全球贸易和制造业的影响存在担忧。中小企业对信贷额度的使用表明他们仍在积极投资,只是在等待更大的确定性。 Brian Moynihan: 美国银行将适应新的政策环境,并继续运营。银行资本金要求过高,限制了贷款能力,需要进行调整。 Brian Moynihan: 通货膨胀在关税实施之前就已经存在,关税只是加剧了通货膨胀。美联储需要谨慎地控制通货膨胀,避免经济增长过快或过慢。 Brian Moynihan: 美国银行与历届政府都有合作,并致力于促进美国经济增长。
