摩根大通资产管理公司全球固定收益主管Bob Michele表示,美联储很有可能在今年将利率下调至多250个基点。

如果通胀率下降,而联邦基金利率保持稳定,实际利率将越来越紧缩,这意味着美联储的限制性政策将逐渐成为一种经济负担。
Michele表示:
“I tip my hat to the Fed. They have engineered a soft landing. You’re pretty much bang on the 2% inflation target. You’ve got unemployment at 4% or below for 24 consecutive months. They’ve met their dual mandate of full employment and price stability. I just think soft landings are notoriously difficult to maintain, and their best hope of ensuring that we stay in a soft landing is if they gradually start bringing down the fed funds rate; otherwise real rates will be too powerful a headwind.”
联邦基金利率自去年7月份以来一直保持在5.25%-5.5%的区间内,如果降息250个基点,这将使利率降至2.75%-3%的区间。他说,这与美联储预期的2.5%的中性利率相符,是一个适当的调整。
不过,Michele补充称,美联储仍需谨慎考虑其做法,因为过早的政策转向可能会在软着陆的情况下重新点燃通胀。
瑞银此前表示,美联储可能会将利率降至3%以下,不过它预计,随着消费者逐渐失去动力,2024年中期美国将出现温和衰退。
