亚特兰大联邦储备银行行长拉斐尔·博斯蒂克在一次演讲中表示，特朗普政府的新政策正在导致美国经济大幅波动，使美联储难以在春末或夏季之前清楚地评估形势以调整利率。他进一步强调了多种不确定性来源带来的挑战，包括关税、贸易政策、不可预测的通货膨胀、消费者信心下降、移民政策对劳动力的影响、能源政策、税收改革、联邦支出和地缘政治紧张局势。Bostic还指出，关税可能会导致美国家庭的价格上涨，他们已经在努力应对成本上涨。然而，他提到，这是否会导致通货膨胀加剧仍不确定。与此同时，放松管制和能源生产等其他政策正在助长商业乐观情绪。美联储的下一次政策会议定于3月18日至19日举行。

The Trump administration’s new policies are causing significant economic volatility in the U.S., making it difficult for the Fed to assess the situation clearly enough to adjust interest rates before late spring or summer, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Raphael Bostic said in a speech. He further highlighted the challenges posed by multiple sources of uncertainty, including tariffs, trade policy, unpredictable inflation, declining consumer sentiment, immigration policy’s impact on the labor force, energy policy, tax reforms, federal spending, and geopolitical tensions. Bostic also noted that tariffs are likely to result in higher prices for American households, who are already grappling with elevated costs. However, he mentioned that it remains uncertain whether this will lead to increased inflation. Meanwhile, other policies such as deregulation and energy production, are fueling business optimism. The Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting is scheduled for March 18-19.
