-- 根据美国劳工统计局周五公布的数据,经季节性调整的美国消费者价格指数(CPI)3月份上涨0.9%,与彭博社截至美国东部时间上午7:30汇总的调查结果一致,此前2月份CPI上涨0.3%。 剔除食品和能源价格的核心CPI上涨0.2%,低于市场普遍预期的0.3%,与上月持平。 由于伊朗冲突的影响,能源价格上涨成为主要因素。整体能源价格上涨10.9%,创下自2005年9月以来的最大月度涨幅,其中汽油价格更是飙升21.2%,创历史新高。剔除能源价格后,CPI连续第二个月上涨0.2%,食品价格基本持平。 业主等价租金上涨0.3%,普通租金上涨0.2%。交通运输服务价格也出现显著上涨,尤其是机票价格。 部分抵消因素是,新车价格仅上涨0.1%,二手车价格连续第二个月下跌0.4%。 剔除食品、能源和住房的消费者价格指数(CPI)上涨0.1%,此前一个月上涨0.2%。 总体CPI和核心CPI的同比涨幅分别从上月的2.4%和2.5%加速至3.3%和2.6%。 美国劳工统计局发布的月度消费者价格指数(CPI)衡量的是消费者为一篮子商品和服务(例如食品、能源、汽车、医疗保健、服装和住房)支付的价格指数水平。 由于食品和能源价格波动较大,核心CPI剔除了这两项价格,因此受到市场和美联储的密切关注,被视为潜在通胀压力的指标。 通货膨胀上升是美国消费需求强劲的标志,但股票和债券通常都会对需要提高利率的价格增长水平做出负面反应。
