美联储官员威廉姆斯表示:“过去一年,我所观察到的劳动力市场状况,可用‘温和而渐进的降温’来描述,整体仍处于稳健状态。”
尽管7月失业率仅小幅升至4.2%(6月为4.1%),但相对疲软的非农数据为鲍威尔推动降息共识提供了空间。威廉姆斯指出,5月和6月就业增长数据被大幅向下修正,才是本次报告的真正焦点。
他称:“这些信息至关重要,有助于我们理解劳动力供需走向及劳动力市场动能的降温趋势。”
对于9月是否可能降息,威廉姆斯态度谨慎,未对市场一度高达80%的降息预期予以背书。他表示:“市场参与者面临的挑战,与我们作为政策制定者所面临的相同。市场对信号的反应方向,我认为是可以理解的。”
威廉姆斯预计,今年美国经济增速将放缓至约1%,但2026年经济有望回升。
