透露暫停加息的潛在時機!美聯儲高官稱或在今年夏季踩剎車,美股多頭上攻熱情重燃
uSMART盈立智投 03-03 09:26

3月2日週四,美聯儲三位高官相繼就當前美國的經濟形勢以及對加息的態度闡述觀點。

其中,亞特蘭大聯儲主席Raphael Bostic認爲,美聯儲在2023年夏季中後期將有條件暫停加息,但如果經濟數據持續強於預期,就需要調整對未來利率走勢的預期;美聯儲理事Christopher Waller稱,如果數據顯示美國經濟依然強勁,美聯儲可能需要進一步加息;波士頓聯儲主席Susan Collins表示,政策制定者需要繼續提高利率以控制通脹,但借貸成本究竟需要提高多少將取決於即將公佈的數據。

亞特蘭大聯儲主席Raphael Bostic稱:

我本人傾向於在3月政策會議上繼續加息25個基點,但是還是觀察更新的經濟數據。 如果經濟數據強於預期,就需要調整對未來利率走勢的預期。當前離物價恢復穩定還有很長的路要走,美聯儲可能在今年夏季中後期暫停加息。

他進一步說:

我將對任何可能性持開放態度。 如果數據繼續表明經濟強於我的預期,我將調整我的政策軌跡。

Bostic表態後,美股三大指數短線走強,標普500與納斯達克指數轉漲。美股臨近尾盤擴大漲幅,道指上漲1%,標普500指數、納指漲超0.7%。

美聯儲理事Christopher Waller表示,如果經濟指標繼續比預期更熱,他將比他目前的展望更傾向於加息,並預計本輪加息的終端利率將介於5.1%至5.4%之間。

他認爲:

另一方面,如果經濟數據顯示美國經濟依然比預期更強金,那麼今年的聯邦基金利率目標區間將不得不進一步上調,以確保我們不會失去之前控制通脹的勢頭。

當前,他仍然贊成在3月份加息25個基點,但如果數據持續火熱,則願意將利率提高到高於先前預期的水平。Waller表示,就業報告以及1月份失業率下降至3.4%表明,勞動力市場仍在繼續處於緊張狀態。

同樣在週四,波士頓聯儲主席Susan Collins表示:

我確實相信我們需要增加一些額外的利率,而真正需要的正確數量取決於對我們收到的信息的全面審查。

此外我確實相信,保持高利率一段時間很重要,因爲金融條件收緊的效果需要一段時間才能在經濟中顯現。

Collins上週表示,美聯儲必須繼續加息,以使其達到足夠限制性的水平,並且可能需要將利率維持在“較長”一段時間內,以使通脹率降至美聯儲2%的目標。

對於當前的通脹,Collins稱:

我們已經看到一些早期跡象表明工資和價格壓力可能正在放緩,但我們也看到一些證據表明高通脹仍然存在,尤其是在某些服務領域。

最近公佈的數據出人意料地強勁:1月份新增就業達51.7萬人,而通脹率仍遠高於美聯儲2%的目標。

美聯儲最近一次加息將幅度進一步放緩至25個基點,但是在最近一系列的經濟數據顯示出美國經濟依然有令人意外的彈性之後,投資者正在加大對美聯儲需要將利率提高到多高才能抑制通脹的押注。市場現在預估,今年美國的聯邦基金利率將達到近5.5%的峯值。
