圣路易斯联邦储备银行行长詹姆斯布拉德预计美国央行将在 2023 年再加息两次以抑制通胀。
“I think we’re going to have to grind higher with the policy rate in order to put downward pressure on inflation,” he said at an event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Monday. “I’m thinking two more moves this year – exactly where those would be this year I don’t know – but I’ve often advocated sooner rather than later.”
Consumer inflation has slowed considerably, with prices up 4.9% annually in April versus last June’s high of 9%. But that is still well above the Fed’s 2% inflation target.
Meanwhile, the economy has remained more robust than expected, with unemployment still at the lowest levels since the 1960s, he said.
“You want to get the downward pressure while you can,” said Bullard, who is a non-voter in rate-setting meetings this year.
央行在本月早些时候的政策会议上将基准利率再上调 25 个基点至 5%-5.25% 的目标区间。自 2022 年 3 月以来，美联储已连续 10 次加息以对抗通胀。
政策制定者将于 6 月 13 日再次召开为期两天的会议，以商讨美联储的下一步行动。
布拉德还表示，尽管“经济衰退的可能性被夸大了”，但经济将“在今年余下时间和 2024 年之前增长相对缓慢”。
他补充说：“经济衰退的风险总是存在的，所以这种情况可能会发生，但我认为这种可能性不会像今天的华尔街那样高。”
