Beth Ann Bovino: 我预计美国经济将放缓，实现软着陆。然而，新的政策措施将对增长和通货膨胀产生复杂的影响。尽管一月份的经济数据疲软，但二月份的数据显示经济依然强劲。关税的影响可能比预期更持久，因为企业不太可能降低价格，而且消费者对通货膨胀的预期已经上升。市场动荡可能会波及实体经济，企业高管的决策将是关键观察指标。高关税率，特别是对中国的关税，将对通货膨胀和企业预期产生重大负面影响。尽管存在风险，我们仍然预计经济将实现软着陆，但增长率将远低于之前的预期，通货膨胀率将显著上升。美国服务业受关税影响较小，因为美国在服务贸易方面拥有巨额顺差。我担心美国经济可能陷入滞胀，这将导致通货膨胀率大幅上升，失业率也随之提高。我认为2025年美国经济衰退的风险为40%，甚至可能更高。多种因素可能导致经济崩溃，但消费者支出是关键指标。尽管消费者信心指数低迷，但消费者支出仍然相对强劲。尽管存在衰退风险，强劲的就业市场和较高的储蓄率为经济提供了缓冲。
