美国总统特朗普星期四再次嘲笑美联储主席鲍威尔。一天前,美联储投票决定不降息,原因是关税带来的经济不确定性。
特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中说:“‘太迟(先生)’鲍威尔是个傻瓜,他毫无头绪。除此之外,我非常喜欢他!石油和能源价格下跌,几乎所有的成本价格(食品杂货和“鸡蛋”)都下降了,几乎没有通货膨胀,关税资金涌入美国——与‘太迟先生’认为的恰恰相反!享受吧!”
周四,美联储投票决定将基准利率维持在4.25%至4.5%的区间,该央行自去年12月以来一直维持在这个区间,这让希望美联储降息以应对因其贸易政策推出而可能出现的经济放缓的特朗普感到沮丧。
美联储表示,将维持利率不变,直到经济前景变得更加明朗,“失业率上升和通胀上升的风险已经上升”。
鲍威尔在美联储决定后的新闻发布会上简短地回应了特朗普频繁的批评和降息呼吁,称这“根本”不会影响美联储的工作。
特朗普上个月扰乱了市场,因投资者担心他会在2026年5月主席任期结束前解雇鲍威尔,此举将威胁到美联储的独立性,许多人认为美联储的独立性对美国金融市场的正常运作至关重要。在特朗普实施极端关税之际,这些言论助长了市场抛售。
