耶伦讲话给出猛料,奈何和市场期望有所差距
7月11日,现货黄金市场步入观望等待模式,空头希望美联储主席耶伦即将于7月12日在国会发表证词时,能够就货币政策从紧给出新的猛料。但美联储政策前景的评估和市场期望有差距,空头能否如愿存在大问号。
其实除了耶伦,本周还有多名美联储官员陆续发表讲话。打头阵的是旧金山联储主席威廉姆斯(John Williams),他在周二举行的澳洲商业经济学家活动上发表演说称,如果美国通胀没有上涨,将会讨论减缓紧缩政策。
但威廉姆斯仍旧预期,美国通胀水平将会在明年加速达到2%,因最新的美国就业报告显示经济强劲,今年还有一次加息是合理的。他还补充道:“我个人认为,美联储将在未来几个月内开始调整资产负债表。”
分析师在研报中写道:“由于缺乏新的劲爆咨询,市场目前处于观望等待模式,交易商不敢轻举妄动。耶伦去年年末以来的鹰派色彩能否在本周锦上添花,黄金空头肯定报以了重大期待。”
“美国经济在持续逾1年接近或处于充分就业状态的同时,薪资水平却至今依然是一个扶不正的贫血症患儿。对于美联储还能否按照既定规划提升利率水平,要让广大投资者继续胸有成竹恐怕确实难为他们了。”
自从明确2%官方通胀目标位以来,美联储在提升通胀水平方面确实乏善可陈,2012年4月至今,美国个人消费支出同比增速达到或超过2%的仅有1个月份。
对于每一次美联储议息会议之后公布的政策声明和会议纪要,任何读者都要仔细揣摩其中的措辞,以便得出通胀长期无法达标的真切缘由。官方此前一直声称,油价大幅下滑对通胀形成的打压只是短期效应,结果所谓的“短期”持续了数年时间。从最近的行业表现看,压制美国通胀水平上升的主要原因是移动电话服务和处方药价格下滑,美联储给这一现象贴上了所谓“特质”的标签。
很显然,美联储决策者无论如何寻找托词,只要通胀数字继续趴窝,他们总有理屈词穷的那一天,因为他们在制定目标的时候就压根没有考虑实现这一目标的策略。
倘若通胀仅仅是货币现象,美联储又希望提升通胀水平,那么选择更具扩张性的货币政策应该成为美联储的良策。但现实情况却是,美联储货币政策处于缓慢收紧之中。现在看来,通胀可能更像是货币政策的应变量。换言之,设定目标通胀率常量本来就是可笑的做法。
