波士顿联储行长Susan Collins称需要进一步降息,但决策者应谨慎行事,避免行动太快或太慢。
Collins周三在密歇根大学福特公共政策学院的一个活动上表示,“虽然终端利率落在哪儿不确定,但我认为还需要进一步放松政策,因为当前的政策至少仍具有一定限制性”。
她同时指出,政策令联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)应对通胀和就业风险处于有利位置,重申利率并非处于预设路径。
“到目前为止所做的政策调整,使FOMC能够在今后工作中从容不迫,花时间全面评估现有数据对前景和相关风险平衡的影响,”她说。
继9月份降息50个基点后,美联储官员本月又将利率下调了25个基点。此后,几位决策者表示他们倾向于以谨慎的方式进一步调整利率,理由是不确定借贷成本最终应该下降多少。
Collins形容经济状况“整体良好”,并表示通胀处于回归美联储2%目标的轨道上,尽管前路可能不平坦。她指出,需求保持韧性可能会给价格带来上行压力。
这位美联储官员称劳动力市场健康,但提到就业增长越来越集中在少数几个行业。
“招聘出现任何进一步放缓都是不可取的,”她说。
