联邦储备在劳动力市场疲软之际降息
摘要
联邦储备将基准利率下调了0.25个百分点，以应对劳动力市场和经济增长放缓的情况。
联邦储备将基准利率下调了0.25个百分点，这是自2024年12月以来的首次降息。此次调整使联邦基金利率区间从之前的4.25%至4.5%降至4%至4.25%。
这一决定是在就业增长显著放缓的背景下作出的，7月份新增就业岗位仅为73,000个，且对5月和6月的就业数据进行了共计25万个岗位的下调修正。失业率上升至4.2%，显示劳动力市场正在降温。
联邦储备主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔强调了对就业形势的担忧，特别是针对近期大学毕业生。他指出，尽管整体找工作率仍然较低，但裁员率也很低。然而，他警告称，如果裁员增加，再就业机会可能会变得稀缺。
联邦储备此举旨在在劳动力市场面临挑战之际刺激经济活动。官员们预计2025年将再有两次降息，2026年预计还有一次，反映出持续努力在经济增长与通胀控制之间取得平衡。
