【美联储下周加息几成定局 手机资费大涨或是关键推手】美国手机服务价格涨幅创纪录,推动一项关键通胀指标高于预期,可能进而锁定了美联储下周加息的决定。美国劳工统计局周五公布的数据显示,8月份剔除食品和能源后的核心消费者价格指数环比上涨0.3%,高于彭博调查预估中值0.2%。其中,无线电话服务价格单月上涨5.9%,单这一项就为核心CPI贡献了约0.1个百分点。这一分项主要反映移动运营商提供的预付费和月度套餐价格。美国银行、巴克莱和Pantheon Macroeconomics的经济学家指出,AT&T和T-Mobile US等主要运营商近期调整资费方案,可能是推高该分项的主要原因。美国劳工统计局拒绝进一步说明这些运营商的调整具体如何影响该数据。
