正如我在此前的帖子中所讨论的,这种分裂由多重因素共同驱动,包括:
- 相互冲突的压力:美联储“双重使命”(通胀与就业)两端同时承压。
- 风险权重分歧:不同官员对这些风险的敏感度和权衡方式并不一致。
- 劳动力市场的模糊性:围绕就业数据存在复杂且棘手的分析难题。
- 愿景与领导力问题:过度依赖数据、缺乏统一的前瞻性战略,以及鲍威尔主席处于“跛脚鸭”(任期末、影响力下降)状态。

一、这不是一次普通的分歧,而是“体系级裂痕”
约三分之一的美联储官员不支持这次决定
在美联储这种高度强调“共识”的机构里,这是非常高的反对比例。这说明:
- 内部对方向本身有争议,而不是技术性分歧
- 市场看到的不是“鹰一点 / 鸽一点”,而是路线之争
➡️ 结论:未来任何一次降息,都会更难形成统一预期。
二、双重使命正在“互相打架”
美联储的核心任务只有两个:
- 控制通胀
- 维持就业
现在的问题是:
- 通胀没有被彻底压死
- 就业开始出现裂纹,但还没塌
这就造成了两派官员的根本分歧:
- 鹰派:通胀风险更致命,不能松
- 鸽派:如果等就业崩了再救,就来不及了
➡️ 关键点:这是结构性冲突,不是靠一两次数据就能解决的。
三、劳动力数据正在“误导决策”
文中说的是 Labor Market Ambiguity(就业市场的模糊性),这点非常重要。
现在的就业数据有几个问题:
- 非农、失业率、薪资、职位空缺信号互相矛盾
- 疫情后数据修订频繁,实时判断难度极高
- AI、兼职化、平台经济,让“就业质量”难以量化
➡️ 所以:
- 有人认为:劳动力还很强
- 有人认为:这是滞后数据,真实恶化已开始
➡️ 这直接放大了投票分裂。
四、真正的核心:领导力真空
最后一条最狠。
1️⃣ 过度数据依赖(Excessive data dependency)
美联储现在是:不敢讲“方向”,只敢讲“下一组数据”
这导致:
- 政策变成被动反应
- 市场无法建立长期预期
2️⃣ 缺乏统一的前瞻性愿景
以前的美联储会说:
- 我们要把经济带向哪里
- 哪些风险优先级更高
现在变成:“我们会看数据再决定”
➡️ 这不是技术问题,是战略问题。
3️⃣ 鲍威尔的“跛脚鸭”状态
“Lame duck”在美国政治里意味着:
- 任期接近尾声
- 权威下降
- 内部开始各自为战
➡️ 在这种情况下:
- 官员更敢投反对票
- 各地区联储开始为“后鲍威尔时代”站位
五、对市场的真正含义(重点)
这段话释放的最重要信号不是:“下不下次降息?”
而是:⚠️ 未来的货币政策将更不稳定、更不可预测
具体影响:
- 降息路径更碎片化
- 点阵图的参考价值下降
- 市场波动加剧
- 风险资产对“单次数据”反应会越来越剧烈

- 这段摘自《华盛顿邮报》文章《通胀与关税冲击下,企业破产数量激增》的内容,再一次体现了美国经济中日益加剧的、多维度的分化趋势:根据标普全球市场情报(S&P Global Market Intelligence) 的数据,截至 11 月,至少有 717 家公司申请破产。这一数字比 2024 年同期的前 11 个月高出约 14%,并且是 自 2010 年以来的最高水平。 This excerpt from the Washington Post article, "Bankruptcies Soar as Companies Grapple With Inflation, Tariffs," is yet another example of the intensifying multifaceted divergence in the US economy: "At least 717 companies filed for bankruptcy through November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That's roughly 14 percent more than the same 11 months of 2024, and the highest tally since 2010."Mohamed El-Erian · 2025/12/29
- 据 @FT(《金融时报》) 报道: 今年已有超过 900 万名美国学生贷款借款人至少错过了一次还款,随着这一规模达 1.7 万亿美元的市场中违约率飙升,问题正在加剧。 美国政府的金融稳定监督委员会(FSOC)本周表示,学生贷款是美国家庭所持各类贷款中“一个显著的例外”——在其他贷款违约率普遍较低的情况下,学生贷款违约率却明显偏高。 违约率上升的背景是更广泛的担忧:美国劳动力市场在过去几个季度降温,导致近期毕业生在找工作方面面临困难。 Per the @FT, "More than 9mn US student loan holders have missed at least one payment this year, as delinquencies in the $1.7tn market soar.... The government’s Financial Stability Oversight Council said this week that student loans were “a notable exception” to low default rates on other loans held by American households.... The rise in delinquencies comes amid broader concerns that recent graduates are struggling to find work in a US labour market that has cooled over recent quarters."Mohamed El-Erian · 2025/12/14
- 对 Oracle 最新财报的市场反应——盘前股价下跌约 11%——凸显了在公司进行大规模资本开支(尤其与 AI 相关)期间,投资者对收入未达预期的高度敏感。(同时,受公司层面和行业层面的消息影响,其 CDS 利差也显著走阔——见下图。) 鉴于各家科技公司的经营条件存在明显差异(详情见此前帖子),这种市场动态持续得越久,科技板块内部的表现分化就会随着时间推移越加扩大。 The current reaction to Oracle’s earnings release—with the stock down some 11% in pre-market trading—illustrates investors’ sensitivity to revenue shortfalls during periods of significant capex spending, particularly related to AI. (And this as the CDS spread has widened significantly on account of both company- and sector-wide news — chart below.) Given the differences in companies operating conditions (please see prior posts), the longer this market dynamic persists, the greater the performance divergence within the tech sector will be over time.Mohamed El-Erian · 2025/12/11
- ……关于美联储政策信号: 本次 25 个基点降息出现了来自两方的正式反对票,并且还有一些“软性反对”迹象。 未来降息将暂时进入观望暂停期,但暂停的具体时长尚不明确。 在鲍威尔明确排除短期内加息的可能性后,他多次将当前的政策立场描述为**“位置良好”(well positioned)。 资产负债表管理则比市场预期更偏鸽派。 ... and on Fed policy signals: Two-sided formal dissents on this 25 bps rate cut, with indications of a few "soft dissents." A pause for now on future rate cuts, though the extent of the pause is unclear. With Chair Powell ruling out the possibility of a rate hike anytime soon, he repeatedly characterized the Fed policy stance as “well positioned.” More dovish-than-expected balance sheet management.Mohamed El-Erian · 2025/12/10
