-- 聯準會主席鮑威爾週三表示,中東緊張局勢導致油價上漲,推動通膨率升至3.5%,並加劇了美國經濟前景的不確定性。 鮑威爾在新聞發布會上表示:“通膨已經上升並處於高位,部分原因是近期全球能源價格上漲。” 鮑威爾表示,地緣政治緊張局勢,包括涉及伊朗和關鍵石油運輸路線的風險,導致全球能源市場趨緊,並推高了整體價格。 鮑威爾說:「中東局勢的發展加劇了經濟前景的高度不確定性。」他補充說,聯準會將繼續密切關注通膨和成長方面的風險。 鮑威爾表示,聯邦公開市場委員會將基準利率維持在3.5%至3.75%不變,政策制定者正在評估能源成本上漲對通膨和需求的影響。 鮑威爾說:「短期內,能源價格上漲將推高整體通膨。」他補充說,隨著衝突的演變,其經濟影響的範圍和持續時間仍不明朗。 鮑威爾表示,與地緣政治風險相關的石油市場波動可能擾亂供應,包括透過霍爾木茲海峽等關鍵咽喉要道的供應,從而加劇全球油價壓力。 鮑威爾說:「我們將繼續密切關注我們雙重使命所面臨的風險。」他指出,隨著能源驅動的通膨和不確定性改變經濟前景,聯準會將做出相應調整。 鮑威爾表示,數據顯示,個人消費支出總額年增3.5%,剔除食品和能源價格的核心通膨率上漲3.2%,反映出物價壓力持續存在。 鮑威爾說:「貨幣政策並非一成不變。」他補充說,聯準會將根據最新數據以及與能源市場和地緣政治緊張局勢相關的不斷變化的風險來調整利率。
