美联储理事:下次会议可能考虑放缓加息步伐,但抗通胀不会停

美联储理事沃勒表示,通胀持续下降,美联储才会「踩下刹车」。

在本轮紧缩周期中,美联储正面临关键抉择,是该放缓加息步伐,还是继续大幅收紧?

美联储理事沃勒认为,美联储可能会在下次会议上考虑放缓加息步伐,但抗通胀不会停,还会持续一段时间。

周日,据媒体报道,任内拥有FOMC永久投票权的沃勒在瑞银举办的一次经济会议上中表示:

市场应该关注加息的“终点”,而不是每次加息的“速度”。

美联储在停止加息之前“还有很长的一段路要走”,这将取决于通胀情况。

通胀持续下降 美联储才会“踩刹车”

关于当前的处境,沃勒表示:

我们正处于一个可以开始考虑放慢速度的时刻,但我们并没有放松……

市场应该停止关注速度,开始关注终点将在哪里。

上周发布的10月美国通胀报告显示,CPI以及核心CPI均超预期放缓。沃勒认为,10月份的通胀低于预期,这是好消息,但只是一个时点数据,还需要其他类似数据才能证明通胀正在放缓。

沃勒表示,10月份7.7%的CPI同比增幅仍然很大,即使下次数据显示通胀率的增幅将从四分之三缩减至0.5%,通胀率仍在上升。

由此,沃勒表示:

我们需要看到通胀持续下降,然后我们才真正开始考虑踩下刹车。

这与其他几位美联储高官表态一致,上周四,美联储多位高官表态,支持放缓加息的步伐,同时强调他们遏制高通胀的决心,指出放慢加息步伐不代表更宽松的政策。总的来看,美联储高官们的表态整体偏鸽派。

加息的终点在哪里?

当被问及利率是否会上升到5%以上时,沃勒回答说,这将取决于通胀的表现,现在通货膨胀决定了这个数字的最终走向。

旧金山联储主席戴利也在采访中表示,利率峰值很可能至少达到5%。

9月份时,官员们的预期中位值为,今年底利率达到4.5%,明年达到本轮加息周期的利率高峰4.6%,这意味着12月将加息50个基点,明年将最后加息25个基点。下个月点阵图将更新。

此外,近期美国掀起裁员潮,分析师和经济学家警告称,货币紧缩将进一步加剧衰退风险。上个月,美国参议院金融委员会主席布朗“敦促”美联储鲍威尔在加息缩表时保持“谨慎”,否则会有数百万正遭受高通胀的美国人失业。

但沃勒认为,尽管人们正在谈论经济崩溃和金融市场崩溃,但目前并没看到这一点。
