美國勞工統計局公佈10月CPI數據,顯示通膨壓力高於市場預期。聯準會此前在10月會議上維持利率不變。
美國勞工統計局(BLS)10日公佈,10月消費者物價指數(CPI)經季節性調整月增0.4%,高於道瓊預期的0.3%增幅,顯示聯準會(Fed)抑制通膨的努力出現新警訊。聯準會理事華勒(Christopher Waller)已揚言,如果通膨數據未見改善,他考慮12月政策會議支持擴大升息幅度至0.5個百分點(兩碼)。
BLS數據顯示,排除波動較大的食品與能源價格,核心CPI月增0.3%,高於預期的0.2%增幅。該單位沒有公佈年增率,去年美國政府關門,致使未能蒐集2025年10月的足夠數據,因而無法進行年度比較。
聯邦愛馬仕(Federated Hermes)固定收益投資策略師曼納(Karen Manna)指出,「這是市場最不樂見的報告;通膨數據走高引發對聯準會是否已採取足夠措施,以抑制物價壓力的新質疑,並加劇必須維持利率更高、更久的風險」。
在該報告出爐後,對房貸、車貸與信用卡利率至關重要的美國10年期公債殖利率跳漲逾7個基點至4.938%,美股期貨走跌。芝商所FedWatch數據顯示,市場認為12月升息0.25個百分點(1碼)的機率為85.3%,升息兩碼的機率為14.7%。
聯準會理事華勒10日在倫敦舉行的一場演說中指出,如果10月通膨數據類似過去兩個月,亦即核心通膨約0.3%,或更高,「那麼更強勁的政策走向或許是必要的;在該狀況下,我認為12月會議應考慮政策利率調升50個基點」。
他補充,在該情形下,傳統升息0.25個百分點的幅度不足以贏得民眾對聯準會抑制通膨的信心,他說,「僅升息25個基點可能危及我們的威信,這樣的風險我不願承擔」。
聯準會在10月政策會議上,以10比2的票數維持基準利率3.75%至4%之間不變。
