【非农虽为鹰派增添筹码 但美联储加息与否还得通胀报告拍板】美国上月就业人数意外大增,强化了美联储本月稍晚会议加息的理由,但加息仍非板上钉钉。8月非农就业人数增幅超过彭博调查中所有经济学家的预期,失业率维持在4.1%。不过,最新报告并未显示劳动力市场正在加剧价格压力,分析人士仍预计,美联储下一次利率决定将取决于下周公布的通胀数据。与此同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五在社交媒体发文,再度向美联储施压,要求降息。而投资者却提高了对美联储本月加息的押注。BMO Capital Markets策略师Vail Hartman在给客户的报告中写道:“今天的数据为鹰派阵营提供了支持,但还不足以为9月16日加息提供决定性理由。虽然市场隐含的本月加息概率有所上升,但就业数据的重要性仍将低于通胀数据。”根据联邦基金利率期货定价,投资者预计本月加息的概率从约50%升至略高于60%。美联储官员一方面担忧通胀持续偏高,另一方面对于货币政策短期内应如何应对仍存在分歧。新的价格压力证据可能推动联邦公开市场委员会倾向加息,而更温和的通胀数据则可能令美联储继续按兵不动。今年以来,美联储已连续五次会议维持利率不变。
