Andrew Hollenhorst: 我认为美联储降息的时间点将推迟到九月,因为劳动力市场数据尚未给出明确的降息信号,美联储需要看到失业率上升才会采取行动。尽管硬数据尚未显示,但包括美联储褐皮书在内的迹象表明经济可能正在收缩,因此我仍然相信美联储将比市场预期更积极地降息。现在很难判断经济形势,但潜在的疲软迹象正在显现。劳动力市场仍然不舒服,持续申领失业金人数上升,表明人们重返工作岗位困难,失业率将会上升。住房市场正在萎缩,需要看到抵押贷款利率下降才能再次扩张,而这需要美联储降息。美联储需要降息,虽然他们不会直接对10年期国债收益率做出反应,但会通过数据间接反应。我认为美联储应该关注经济基本面,现在对通胀的关注是应对两三年前的问题,当时通胀被认为是暂时的。现在房价在下降,经济需求在降温,不会有太大的通胀压力,所以美联储可以忽略一次性的价格上涨。美联储对通胀的担忧,意味着他们会比通常情况等待更久,直到劳动力市场给出非常明确的信号才会降息。
