Catherine Rappel: 我认为目前情况良好，但未来几个月的情况尚不清楚，尤其是在贸易谈判走向不明朗的情况下。特朗普政府宣布将对钢铁制成的电器征收 50% 的关税，这可能会反映在下个月的消费者价格中。如果美联储真的想降息，或者至少像特朗普希望的那样，这种情况对他们没有帮助，他们可能会想推迟利率变动，观望能源价格的影响。 David Gurr: 我认为情绪和调查数据反映了对未来走向的焦虑和担忧，但硬数据尚未反映这一点，因为承诺的关税尚未生效。美国不再是避风港，投资者正在将资金转移到美国境外，因为存在广泛的政策不确定性。美国债务不像过去那样可靠，将资金投入美国国债并不安全，这与贸易和美国处理赤字的方式有关。全球秩序正在逐渐瓦解，这与不确定性和对未来走向的担忧有关。 Kai Ryssdal: 我认为中东的石油价格上涨，加上关税，可能会使美国的滞胀局面更加复杂。
