Charlotte Gartenberg: 今天美国股市收盘情况复杂。道琼斯工业平均指数小幅下跌,而纳斯达克指数则有所上涨。市场受到多重因素的影响,包括美联储维持利率不变的决策,以及中东地区紧张局势加剧,引发了对全球石油运输可能中断的担忧。此外,特朗普总统再次批评了美联储主席鲍威尔,并呼吁降低利率,这也给市场带来了一定的压力。整体来看,市场情绪较为谨慎,投资者在权衡各种不确定性因素。 Donald Trump: (通过Charlotte Gartenberg转述)我对美联储的利率政策非常不满,我认为现在的利率水平过高,这会阻碍经济增长。我再次呼吁美联储降低利率,以刺激经济发展,创造更多的就业机会。鲍威尔主席需要更加关注经济数据,并采取更加积极的货币政策。 Jerome Powell: (通过Charlotte Gartenberg转述)美联储目前认为劳动力市场处于平衡状态,并没有产生过度的通胀压力。我们有能力根据经济形势的变化,灵活调整利率政策。根据我们的预测,预计在2025年可能会有两次降息。同时,我们也关注到通货膨胀可能会在未来一年内超过3%,我们会密切关注通胀数据,并采取适当的措施来维持物价稳定。
