概要
聯準會將召開會議，就川普的新關稅措施作出回應，該措施將對所有美國進口產品徵收最低
10% 的關稅。主席鮑威爾對關稅對通膨和經濟成長的影響表示擔憂，並暗示其可能產生持
續影響。
隨著川普政府的全面新關稅開始生效，聯準會理事會計劃於(IST)週一晚上 9 點 30
分召開閉門會議。
這次會議是在最近宣布徵收關稅後經濟緊張局勢加劇的背景下舉行的，會議將在華盛頓特區
西北 20 街和 C 街的委員會辦公室舉行，並將透過音訊/視訊電話會議進行。
根據董事會《關於會議公眾觀察的規則》第 261b.7 節中概述的程序，會議將不對公眾開放
，重點討論董事會官方事務。討論主題的最終公告將在會議結束後發佈在董事會網站上。
2025年4月2日，唐納德·川普總統宣布這一天為“解放日”，並簽署行政命令，對美國所有
進口商品徵收最低10%的關稅。該關稅將於2025年4月5日生效。
此外，57個國家和實體將面臨大幅提高的關稅，稅率從11%到50%不等，這些措施將於2025年
4月9日開始生效。
鮑威爾面臨壓力
同時，人們越來越擔心關稅可能加劇美國通膨、減緩經濟成長。由主席鮑威爾領導的聯準會
面臨越來越大的壓力，需要應對這些關稅帶來的經濟影響，預計這些關稅將嚴重擾亂美國經
濟。
鮑威爾在周五的聲明中表示，關稅對通膨和經濟成長的影響「遠遠超出預期」。不過，他也
警告稱，其影響可能會變得“更加持久”，這取決於全球經濟如何適應這些新的貿易壁壘。
鮑威爾發表上述言論的時機正值華爾街日益增長的擔憂，他們擔心聯準會可能在可預見的未
來維持基準利率在 4.3% 不變，而不是像投資者所希望的那樣降息。
自關稅宣布以來，市場預期發生了巨大變化，投資者目前預計今年利率將降息五次。

心得評論：
FB上有粉專說這是一次緊急會議。連鮑爾都說了關稅對通膨和經濟成長的影響「遠遠超出預
期」，且可能更加長久。
美股昨晚翻綠收漲，夜盤上漲1%是在期待聯準會降息嗎？預期降息是向上噴、非預期降息是
向下噴（經濟太差），這個理解有錯誤嗎？今晚美股如何表態？

As the Trump administration’s sweeping new tariffs begin to take effect, the Bo
ard of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is scheduled to convene a closed
meeting on Monday at 9.30 pm IST.
The meeting, which comes at a time of heightened economic tension following rece
nt tariff announcements, will take place at the Board’s offices, located at 20t
h Street and C Streets, NW, Washington, DC, and will also be conducted via audio
/video conference call.
Under the procedures outlined in Section 261b.7 of the Board's Rules Regarding P
ublic Observation of Meetings, the session will be closed to the public, focusin
g on matters of official Board business. The final announcement of the topics di
scussed will be posted on the Board's website after the meeting.
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump declared "Liberation Day," marking the
signing of an executive order that imposes a blanket tariff on all imports to th
e United States at a minimum rate of 10%. This tariff is set to take effect on A
pril 5, 2025.
Additionally, 57 nations and entities are facing significantly higher tariffs, r
anging from 11% to 50%, with these measures scheduled to commence on April 9, 20
25.
Powell under pressure
Meanwhile, concerns are mounting about the potential of the tariffs to fuel infl
ation and slow economic growth in the US. The Federal Reserve, led by Chair Jero
me Powell, is under increasing pressure to manage the economic fallout from thes
e tariffs, which are expected to significantly disrupt the US economy.
In a statement on Friday, Powell said that the impact of the tariffs on both inf
lation and economic growth is "significantly larger than expected.” However, he
also cautioned that the effects could become "more persistent" depending on how
the global economy adjusts to these new trade barriers.
The timing of Powell’s comments aligns with growing concerns on Wall Street tha
t the Fed may keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.3% for the foresee
able future, rather than enacting the rate cuts that investors had been hoping f
or.
Since the tariffs were announced, market expectations have shifted dramatically,
with investors now anticipating as many as five interest rate cuts this year.
