聯準會褐皮書強調成本上升和中東戰爭帶來的不確定性

-- 聯準會週三發布的褐皮書指出,中東衝突加劇了美國各經濟區的不確定性,並推高了能源成本。 褐皮書稱,“中東衝突是造成不確定性的主要來源,使企業在招聘、定價和資本投資方面的決策變得複雜,許多企業採取了觀望態度。” 褐皮書也指出,各地區的能源成本飆升,推高了更廣泛的價格壓力,並推高了整個供應鏈的成本。 「受中東衝突的影響,所有地區的能源和燃料成本均大幅上漲,導致貨運和運輸成本上升,塑料、化肥和其他石油基產品的價格也上漲。除能源相關成本上漲外,其他投入成本壓力也普遍存在。” 褐皮書指出,儘管油價上漲,但由於生產商對擴大鑽探活動仍持謹慎態度,能源活動僅出現小幅成長。 “隨著油價上漲,能源活動略有增加,但由於對高油價能否持續存在不確定性,許多生產商對擴大鑽探活動仍持謹慎態度。”
