Federal Reserve policymakers show support for rate hikes as Warsh reins in guidance
中文摘要
一句话结论
这篇 AP 报道的核心是:美联储维持利率不变,但政策层面明显偏鹰,约一半委员认为今年晚些时候仍可能加息;同时,新任主席 Kevin Warsh 收紧了前瞻指引,淡化了对明确降息路径的暗示。
关键事实
- 美联储在周三会议后维持基准利率不变,但几乎一半政策制定者表示,自己可以支持今年晚些时候加息。
- 会议后的声明比以往更短,并删除了此前暗示“下一步更可能是降息”的措辞。
- 季度点阵图显示,18 名委员中有 9 人支持今年更高的利率,其中 6 人甚至支持两次或以上的 25 个基点加息。
- 与 3 月相比,这一立场明显转向:当时没有委员预期加息,委员会整体还曾预计 2026 年会有一次降息。
- 文章称,当前通胀已处于三年来高位,且多位官员在近期讲话中表示,如果通胀不回落,未来几个月可能需要更高利率。
- Kevin Warsh 在首次新闻发布会上强调,美联储将把通胀拉回 2% 目标,并表示此前的 forward guidance “不适合当前政策环境”。
- Warsh 还宣布设立 5 个工作组,分别研究美联储沟通方式、政策所用数据来源、以及评估通胀的框架。
- 市场反应是股价在声明和讲话后下跌、债券收益率上升;但特朗普在法国表示自己“受他想怎么做的指引”。
作者观点与证据
文章明显在强调美联储政策立场较 3 月更偏鹰派,且 Warsh 上任后正在收紧沟通与前瞻指引。证据主要来自点阵图上调、声明措辞删减、Warsh 对通胀和沟通工具的表态,以及市场对利率上行风险的即时反应。文中也引用了经济学家 Matthew Luzzetti 的判断,强化“加息风险上升”的解读;但关于未来路径,仍属于基于官员表态与市场反应的分析,不是确定结论。
与相关标的的关系
- 对美股整体偏负面,尤其是对高估值成长股和对贴现率敏感的板块更不友好,因为更高的政策利率会抬升折现率。
- 对美债偏利空,文章已经描述债券收益率上行,说明市场在重新定价更高的政策利率风险。
- 对美元与利差交易通常偏支撑,但文章没有直接给出汇率数据,因此这里只能视为潜在传导路径。
- 这篇文章没有对应具体 ticker,更像是宏观利率与资产定价背景材料。
时效性与限制
- 文章发布时间为 2026-06-17,但正文里多处时间锚点写到“Wednesday, June 17, 2025”,且叙述中还出现当前时点与历史回顾混杂的情况,时间一致性需要谨慎看待。
- 这类 Fed 会议报道适合放入当日或次日宏观背景,但不适合直接当成长期结论。
- 文中很多判断来自官员点阵图和讲话语气,属于政策预期,不是已落地的利率路径。
- 文章未提供完整会议纪要或更细分投票细节,因此对委员分布和后续路径只能做有限解读。
后续跟踪
- 后续点阵图与官员讲话是否继续强化“今年仍有加息可能”。
- 通胀数据是否继续高于 2% 目标,尤其是服务项和能源项的变化。
- 美债收益率曲线是否继续上移,以及市场对降息时点的重新定价。
- Warsh 设立的 5 个工作组是否会改变美联储沟通框架或数据使用方式。

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve kept its key rate unchanged Wednesday yet almost half the central bank’s policymakers said they could support a rate hike later this year.
The unexpectedly aggressive tilt toward higher rates would disappoint President Trump and suggests heightened concerns about persistent inflation among Fed officials.
In an unusually short statement after their two-day meeting, the officials dropped language that had suggested their next move would be to cut the key rate. The brief statement reflects the influence of new chair Kevin Warsh, who was appointed by Trump. Warsh has previously criticized the Fed for commenting too broadly on the economy.
Still, Warsh’s 18 colleagues on the Fed’s rate-setting committee sent a clear message in a set of quarterly projections released Wednesday: Nine signaled they supported higher rates this year, with six of those supporting two or more quarter-point increases.
It’s a sharp change from March, when no policymakers penciled in a hike and the committee as a whole forecast one cut in 2026. The change is an acknowledgement that inflation is at its highest level in three years and many officials have said in recent speeches that if inflation doesn’t decline, higher rates may be necessary in the coming months.

Warsh, in his first news conference as chair, also underscored the Fed’s determination to bring inflation down to the central bank’s 2% target, suggesting he will take a hawkish approach as chair. “Hawks” typically support higher rates to quell inflation, while “doves” often support lower rates to boost hiring.

“We’ve missed (on inflation) for five years and we’re going to fix that,” he said. “When we deliver on our price stability objectives, which we will, the American people will feel as though the hardships that they’ve been living through ... are in the rear view mirror.”
Warsh had supported rate cuts last year while under consideration to be Trump’s pick as Fed chair to replace Jerome Powell. Since returning to the White House last year, Trump repeatedly attacked Powell for not cutting rates more deeply.

Warsh did not hint whether he was leaning toward hiking rates, but economists saw his message at the press conference as hawkish.
“The risk that they might need to raise rates has clearly risen given what we got today,” Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said.
Financial markets agreed. Stock prices fell sharply after the Fed issued its statement and Warsh spoke. Bond yields rose.
Trump, for his part, appeared to accept the Fed’s decision.
“We have a very good guy over there now so I’m guided by what he wants to do,” Trump said in France, where he attended a meeting of leaders from the world’s seven largest economies.
All told, another eight officials signaled they would support keeping the rate unchanged, and one penciled in a cut. Warsh did not submit a forecast for how the Fed might change its key rate.
In another shift, the Fed’s post-meeting statement contained no hints about its next moves, or what economists refer to as “forward guidance.” Previous Fed chairs, starting with Ben Bernanke, saw such guidance as a benefit to the Fed, because it prodded financial markets to move rates either higher or lower, depending on what the Fed preferred.
Warsh told reporters at a press conference that guidance was not “well suited to the current policy conjuncture.” He has previously criticized forward guidance, as well as the quarterly projections, for potentially locking the Fed into a specific rate path.
Warsh also said he is forming five task forces to examine such areas as how the Fed communicates, the sources of data it uses in making policy decisions, and the frameworks it uses to evaluate inflation, all with the goal of making sure the Fed is “clear-eyed and focused on the future.”
Diane Swonk, chief economist at accounting firm KPMG, said the use of the task forces indicates Warsh is not looking to impose changes on the rest of the Fed, but instead is seeking consensus.
“He wants buy in,” she said. “He’s not trying to change it by command.”
If the Iran war is resolved, gas prices will likely continue to decline and inflation may cool in the coming months. But prices of many goods and services — such as clothes, dental care, and child care — were rising before the Iran war, and inflation has been above the Fed’s 2% target for five years, suggesting that there may still be inflationary pressures in the economy.
Warsh also faces a sharply different economic environment than when he appeared to campaign for the job of Fed chair last year. Back then, he was outspoken in favor of lower interest rates, as Trump has demanded. He pointed to the development of AI as a technology that could vastly expand the economy’s ability to produce goods and services cheaply, which would over time bring down inflation.
Even then, many economists were skeptical of his claim . At least in the short run, analysts note that soaring investment in semiconductors and computing equipment is contributing to higher inflation.
Indeed, since the Iran war began Feb. 28, inflation has accelerated to a three-year high of 4.2%, lifted mostly by costlier gas stemming from the Iran war. The Fed typically fights higher inflation by raising its key interest rate to cool spending and growth.
Trump has announced a peace agreement that could bring the three-month conflict to an end, but it’s not clear if peace will hold. And even if oil flows freely out of the Middle East again, it could take months for prices of gas, groceries, and items such as airline fares, to cool .
At the same time, hiring has picked up in recent months, removing a key rationale for cutting rates. In January, the Fed forecast that it would reduce rates twice this year, as part of its quarterly economic projections. A big reason for those potential cuts is that employers were shedding jobs and policymakers worried that the unemployment rate would rise. The central bank typically cuts its key rate to spur economic growth and hiring.
But earlier this month a government report showed that hiring jumped in May , when employers added 172,000 jobs, the third straight month of solid job gains.
