日内的FOMC-4月政策会议以一种令人捉摸不透的形象出现在投资者眼前。政策声明、利率预期、经济展望、伯南克新闻发布会之间(甚至之内)存在太多的"冲突性"消息,一时间,金融市场左冲右突不得解。
周三(4月25日)纽约时段午盘,美元指数同其他主要货币对一样走出了冲高回落、触底反弹的诡异走势,盘中在短时间内连续触碰日内高点79.30水平及日内低点78.99水平。目前美指基本交投于79.10附近。
分析人士指出,造成美元以及其他资产"上蹿下跳"走势的主要原因为市场对美联储(FED)是否会推出第三轮量化宽松政策(QE3)的解读,然而多处冲突性讯息的存在使得这种解读过于稚嫩。
主要冲突一:美联储看好短期经济,看淡长期前景
美联储公开市场委员会(FOMC)在4月政策会议上宣布维持基准利率在0-0.25%不变,同时保留了"将近零利率政策延续至2014年末"的措辞。
FOMC在声明中对美国经济近几个月的稳步扩张步伐表示了肯定。美联储称美国劳工市场总体状况有所改善,失业率出现了明显下滑,尽管依然处于高位。近几个月来家庭支出、设备和软件的商业投资继续实现扩张。与此同时,房产市场依然疲惫不堪,但也出现了明显改善。
与之相照应的是美联储之后发布的经济展望报告。在这份报告中,美联储将美国2012年国内生产总值(GDP)预期由2.2-2.7%上调至2.4-2.9%。
然而美联储对于未来两年的GDP预期则有所下调,分别从2.8-3.2%和3.3-4.0%下调至2.7-3.1%和3.1-3.6%。详细可见【美联储上调GDP及通胀预估、下调失业率预估】
美联储主席伯南克(Ben Bernanke)也在会后的新闻发布会上指出,经济复苏依然受制,目前宣布取得胜利为时尚早。对美国经济而言,保持低利率作为支撑仍然适合。
他并指出,"欧洲需要做更多,我们依赖于欧洲信守其承诺来消除重大担忧。欧洲债务问题再次使得金融市场承压。"
主要冲突二:更多委员支持提早加息,伯老不排除QE3可能
从FOMC政策声明后美联储公布的利率预期表我们可以看到,支持美联储更早加息的委员数量有所提高。显示出更多委员倾向于尽早撤出宽松货币政策。
数据显示,有3名美联储委员支持在2012年加息,7名支持在2013年加息。1月利率预期数据为3名支持2012年加息,5名支持2013年加息。详细可见【美联储委员4月联邦基金利率预估表】
但伯南克在新闻发布会上的讲话却与之形成冲突,他表示,美联储将在必要时进一步采取资产负债表行动以确保复苏继续。该行动暗指市场热议已久的"QE3"。
该主席称,"我们目前认为货币政策适当,但这并不意味着我们不会采取进一步措施。无论如何,QE3仍然是政策选项之一。"
Tempus Consulting汇市策略师John Doyle表示,"显然,此次决定维持了政策现状,我认为不会令美元突破近期的狭窄区间。不过,有关经济逐步加速的措辞可能在2点公布的成长预期中显示些许更为利好的基调。我们可能看到美元因此小涨,因这可能降低推出第三轮量化宽松政策的可能性。"
MQS Asset Management执行长Bob Gelfond表示,政策声明没有什么新内容或意外,没有特别值得关注的。所有都是老生常谈,除非未来几季有真正强劲的经济数据,否则美联储不会采取任何行动收紧政策。
北京时间03:44,美元指数报79.08。

通货膨胀:委员会预计,尽管短期内经济复苏的步伐可能较原先预期的要慢,但在物价稳定的情况下,资源利用将逐步恢复至较高水准。目前潜在通胀趋势某种程度上略低,无法长期、最大化地促进就业和物价稳定。由于大量的资源闲置可能继续限制成本压力,且长期通胀预期稳定,委员会预计通胀将在一段时间内维持在较低的水平,此后将回升至其认为的符合目标的水准。会后声明重点(英文) Economy: Informati onreceived since the Federal Open Market Committee met in August indicate sthat the pace of recovery in output and employment has slowed in recentmonths.
