美联储洛克哈特点评主席耶伦证词：3月有可能加息
美国亚特兰大联储主席洛克哈特周四(2月16日)表示，他对近期通胀的上行动向感到满意，并认为本周美联储(FED)主席耶伦(Jannet Yellen)在国会所作的一番证词暗示3月有加息的可能。
洛克哈特当天在接受采访时称，“主席耶伦本周在听证会上表示，保留所有政策选项的可能性，包括在经济允许情况下3月份加息的可能。”
值得注意的是，洛克哈特本周二曾表示，在美联储评估特朗普政府政策对经济影响程度之际，没有必要急于在3月就升息。如今他的态度似乎已经有所转变。
耶伦周二(2月14日)表示，3月会议升息的可能性“仍然存在”，随着经济增长与通胀增强，美联储不希望升息步伐滞后。同时她暗示，特朗普政府的经济政策存在相当大的不确定性。
这也是耶伦在特朗普就任美国总统后首次发布半年度货币政策报告。新总统决心提高美国经济增速，若相关举措导致通胀升温，联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)可能会被迫加快升息步伐。
联邦基金期货走势显示，3月加息概率攀升至36%，5月加息概率自48%上升至54%，6月加息概率自71%攀升至74%。
洛克哈特称，他之前预计2017年加息两次，但是在近期的经济数据公布后，他可能倾向于加息两次或三次。
周三公布的数据显示，美国1月消费者物价指数(CPI)涨幅创下2013年以来最高，且美国1月零售销售数据增长0.8%，超出预估增长的0.4%，显示经济增长可能强劲。
他补充道，“美国接近充分就业，薪资增长对劳动力市场是有利迹象。美联储也可以在没有记者会安排的FOMC会上加息。”
