高盛对美国2026年经济展望的核心观点 - 高盛预测美国经济在2026年将加速增长，预计实际GDP增长率为2.6%，高于彭博共识预测的2% [3] - 增长加速主要基于三大因素：关税拖累减弱、减税政策实施以及更有利的金融条件 [6][7] - 尽管经济增长预期乐观，但劳动力市场预计不会显著改善，失业率将稳定在4.5%左右，且通胀预计将逐步下降 [8][10][12] 2025年经济表现与2026年增长驱动力 - 2025年美国经济增长受到高于预期的关税影响，实际GDP增长率预计为2.1%，比高盛此前预测低0.4个百分点 [2][3] - 2025年平均有效关税税率上升了11个百分点，远高于基线预测的4个百分点，导致2025年下半年美国GDP被削减了0.6个百分点 [3][6] - 预计2026年关税拖累将减弱，若税率维持在当前水平不变，其对GDP的负面影响将在2026年消退 [6] - 《一个美丽大法案》的减税与改革是第二大增长驱动力，预计消费者将在2026年上半年获得额外的1000亿美元退税，约占年度可支配收入的0.4% [7] - 该法案中允许厂房和设备支出全额费用化的商业税收条款，已经开始提振前瞻性资本支出指标 [7] - 第三大驱动力是更有利的金融条件，包括美联储降息、放松管制以及人工智能的发展 [7] 劳动力市场与就业展望 - 2025年劳动力市场因关税、移民政策变化和联邦政府缩编带来的不确定性而降温 [8] - 失业率从6月的4.1%上升至11月的4.6%，这一趋势在政府停摆前就已开始，并非暂时现象 [9] - 高盛预计2026年美国失业率将稳定在4.5%左右，且短期内不会出现有意义的下降 [10] - 若人工智能提升生产力的应用快于预期，或企业管理层在2026年更专注于降低劳动力成本，失业率在短期内可能进一步上升 [11] 通货膨胀趋势预测 - 2025年核心PCE通胀率保持在高位的2.8%，主要原因是关税传导效应 [12] - 若无关税影响，2025年通胀率本应降至2.3%左右 [12] - 假设关税维持在当前水平，关税对通胀的传导影响可能从目前的约0.5个百分点小幅上升至2026年中的0.8个百分点 [13] - 预计该影响将在2026年下半年减弱，从而使核心PCE通胀率在2026年底降至略高于2%的水平 [13]
