美联储政策框架调整,黄金震荡走弱
关键词:美联储政策框架调整
8月27日,现货黄金震荡走弱,在美联储主席鲍威尔讲话前,市场难以出现单边趋势,同时投资者得知美联储即将调整政策框架,以助推通胀。目前美国通胀水平迟迟无法达到美联储设定额2%目标位,而且失业率在不引发物价上涨的情况下跌到比预期更低的水平。
美国失业率维持在两位数,即使获得的援助金额有所减少,每周仍有约100万人申请失业救济。消费者信心下降,成千上万的租房客面临着被房东驱逐的危险。
自新冠开始爆发以来,美联储已将利率降至接近零的水准,并将其资产负债表扩大了约3万亿美元,远远超过了欧洲央行和日本央行。投资者押注,美联储将在下个月出台新的政策框架,以应对持续的通胀低迷,黄金可能开启新一轮涨势。
美国通胀水平迟迟无法走高至美联储2012年设定的2%目标位,利率长期低于正常水平。未来若再碰上今年这样严重的经济衰退时,就几乎没有空间通过调降利率来提振经济。
最重要的是,鲍威尔如何告诉世人,长期来看高通胀率对他们是有益的。也就是说,不再期望年通胀率达到2%,而是让较长一段时间内的平均通胀率达到该目标,明确允许或许有几年物价增长较快,以弥补有几年物价上涨较慢的情况。
美联储政策通常是把超低失业率视为一个需要化解的风险,即在出现就业过热最初迹象的时候(往往伴随着物价上涨抬头)就开始加息。但过去几年美联储还获得了一大史无前例的教训,失业率可以在不引发物价上涨的情况下跌到比预期更低的水准。
鲍威尔当前面临极其困难的任务,他须要让公众相信,在一场可以已经让美国人民对政府机构丧失信任、并导致大量人口失业的疫情之后,美联储能够也将会履行自己的使命。
但分析师开始猜测,在货币政策对经济的帮助或许已近极限的环境下,美联储的新政策框架是否真比现有的更胜一筹。此前,美国国会议员没有就扩大重要的经济支持计划达成协议,其中包括已于上月末过期的每周600美元联邦失业救济金。
美元面临下行压力,市场对美元的情绪已经进入极端的看跌区域。美联储若实施更积极的宽松政策,往往会削弱美元;反之,若鲍威尔最终流露出的鸽派态度不及市场多数预期,我们将看到美元反弹。
