聯準會偏好的通膨指標回升,但市場對12月降息預期未變

美國經濟分析局於11月27日公布的數據顯示,聯準會高度關注的通膨指標再度回升。 美國PCE物價指數年增率為2.3%,較前一個月上升0.2個百分點;月增率為0.2%,與前一個月持平。核心PCE年增率為2.8%,較前一個月上升0.1個百分點,並創下了今年4月以來最大增幅;月增率為0.3%,同樣與前一個月一致。 從細項來看,商品價格持續回落,月減0.1%,與前一個月相同。然而,服務價格成長趨勢強勁,月增0.4%,較前一個月上升0.1個百分點,並且連續第二個月加速,成為整體通膨回落的主要阻礙。 (PCE (MoM) 熱圖,來源:BEA, TrendForce 整理) 根據聯準會在11/26公布的會議紀要顯示,多數官員對通膨回落至2%的目標仍抱有信心,但強調這一過程可能需要更長的時間。而本次數據雖印證了聯準會的預期,但仍不改變市場對於12月聯準會降息一碼的預期。 聯準會主席鮑威爾曾在11月的會後記者會中表示,通膨可能因季節性因素(2023年的低基期+Q4消費旺季)在年末有所反彈。因此,近期的通膨回升可能都在聯準會的預料之中,並沒有偏離其政策考量。 Read more at Datatrack
