川普為聯準會新主席劃紅線：經濟再好也要降息，否則免談
美國總統川普公開要求下一任聯準會（Fed）主席必須承諾降息，並與其政策保持一致。儘管美國第三季GDP成長達4.3%，白宮仍持續施壓，使央行獨立性面臨前所未有的挑戰。
誰能執掌全球最有權勢的央行？美國總統給出了唯一條件：聽我的話。美國總統唐納·川普在2025年12月24日表示，他期望接替鮑爾（Jerome Powell）的下一任聯準會（Fed）主席能夠維持低利率，並且永遠不會與他「意見相左」。此番言論引發了市場對聯準會未來獨立性的深切擔憂，這項獨立性是美國長期以來的政治慣例。
「跟我作對，就別想當主席」
川普在他創辦的社群平台「Truth Social」上發文寫道：「我希望我的新任聯準會主席能在市場表現良好時降低利率，而不是無緣無故地摧毀市場。」他更強硬地表示：「美國的成功應該得到獎勵，而不是被拖垮。任何不同意我的人，永遠別想成為聯準會主席！」自今年2月重返白宮以來，川普不斷施壓聯準會降息以刺激經濟。
經濟強勁下的降息壓力
諷刺的是，聯準會今年已三度降息，基準利率在12月中旬已降至3.5%至3.75%區間，但川普曾暗示利率應低至1%。與此同時，根據CNBC報導，美國商務部本週公布的第三季（7至9月）國內生產毛額（GDP）成長率高達4.3%，遠高於分析師預測的3.2%。在經濟數據強勁的背景下要求大幅降息，引發了外界對通膨失控的擔憂。
熱門人選浮出水面
根據CNBC報導，熱門候選人包括國家經濟委員會主任凱文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）、金融家兼前聯準會理事凱文·沃什（Kevin Warsh），以及現任聯準會理事克里斯托弗·沃勒（Christopher Waller）。波托馬克河資本投資長邁克爾·桑德爾（Michael Sandel）向半島電視台分析指出，「在決選者中，我賭哈塞特會勝出，他與川普關係最密切，最能說服總統。」
