新华财经北京7月17日电 美联储威廉姆斯暗示,在本月FOMC会议召开之前不愿支持降息。他认为,关税可能进一步推高通胀。威廉姆斯说,价格数据已经显示,特朗普政府设置的新贸易壁垒正在提高一些消费品的成本。
威廉姆斯预计,未来可能还会有更多的价格上涨。“对于那些更容易受到高关税影响的商品……今年迄今为止的价格涨幅远远超出了基于过去趋势的预期。”威廉姆斯指的是家用电器、乐器和行李箱等产品。
威廉姆斯说,考虑到2025年剩余时间内通胀加速的风险,美联储目前应该会对降低基准利率持谨慎态度。威廉姆斯表示:“维持这种适度限制性的货币政策立场是完全合适的。”
他还预计,到2025年底,失业率将升至4.5%,通货膨胀率将高达3.5%,今年的经济增速将在1%左右,较去年明显放缓。
