美國國債孳息率曲線倒掛,兩年期國債孳息率一度高於十年期,是2007年以來首次。市場擔心是經濟出現衰退的訊號,導致美股急挫,道瓊斯指數周三以接近全日低位收市,報25479點,跌800點。
美國總統特朗普再次於社交網站,炮轟聯儲局主席鮑威爾,指他太遲減息。特朗普批評鮑威爾無知,最少犯下兩個錯誤,包括認為減息只是周期中間的調整,以及沒有根據經濟數據決策,最終導致加息時太快太多,減息就太慢。
特朗普形容聯儲局才是美國面對最大的問題,甚至較起中國更嚴重。

The Great Charles Payne @cvpayne correctly stated that Fed Chair Jay Powell made TWO enormous mistakes. 1. When he said “mid cycle adjustment.” 2. We’re data dependent. “He did not do the right thing.” I agree (to put it mildly!). @Varneyco

..Spread is way too much as other countries say THANK YOU to clueless Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve. Germany, and many others, are playing the game! CRAZY INVERTED YIELD CURVE! We should easily be reaping big Rewards & Gains, but the Fed is holding us back. We will Win!
