美国唐纳德·特朗普总统周三要求降低利率，并在30年期抵押贷款平均利率升至近三年来最高水平后，批评了美联储。
US President Donald Trump demanded lower interest rates Wednesday, criticizing the Federal Reserve after the average rate on 30-year mortgages climbed to its highest in nearly three years.
在回应有关抵押贷款利率达到7.49%的问题时，特朗普指责美联储政策制定委员会的成员希望美国经济表现不佳。
Responding to a question about mortgage rates reaching 7.49%, Trump accused members of the Fed’s policymaking board of wanting the country to perform poorly.
特朗普称美联储主席凯文·沃什“很出色”，但补充说，在包括前总统巴拉克·奥巴马和乔·拜登任命的委员在内的多位政策制定者中，他仅有一票。
Trump called Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh “great” but added that he was only one vote among several policymakers, including appointees of former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
“在我看来，你们有一个希望看到国家表现不佳的委员会，因为我认为利率应该下降，”他在椭圆形办公室对记者说。
“You have a board that would like to see the country do badly, in my opinion, because I think interest rates should come down,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.
特朗普认为，美国经济的实力以及美国在支持其他国家方面所扮演的角色，应该能确保其借贷成本在全球最低。
Trump argued that American economic strength and the role that the US plays in supporting other countries should secure the lowest borrowing costs worldwide.
“我们的利率应该最低。我们应该比任何其他国家都支付更低的利率，”他说。
“Our interest rate should be the lowest. We should pay lower than any other country,” he said.
他特别提到了瑞士、加拿大和墨西哥，认为这些国家与美国的贸易顺差有利于其经济，而美国则面临逆差。
He singled out Switzerland, Canada and Mexico, arguing that their trade surpluses with the US benefit their economies while leaving Washington with deficits.
贝森特将更高收益率与强劲增长联系起来。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特将借贷成本上升称为“全球现象”，并表示自特朗普上任以来，美国10年期债券市场的表现最佳。
Bessent links higher yields to strong growth Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described rising borrowing costs as a “global phenomenon,” saying the US had been the best-performing 10-year bond market since Trump took office.
他认为，与其他国家不同，美国更高的收益率反映了由强劲增长推动的实际利率。
Unlike other countries, he argued, higher US yields reflected real interest rates driven by strong growth.
贝森特表示，由于能源冲击，主要通胀指标仍然较高，但核心通胀上个月已下降，并接近美联储的目标。
Bessent said headline inflation remained high because of the energy shock, while core inflation declined last month and was approaching the Fed’s target.
“一旦我们度过当前的冲突，能源市场将得到充分供应，”他说，并预测抵押贷款利率和10年期国债收益率将会下降。
“Once we get on the other side of this current conflict, the energy market is going to be well supplied,” he said, predicting that mortgage rates and 10-year Treasury yields would decline.
特朗普预测油价将大幅下跌。特朗普还表示，一旦与伊朗的战争结束，油价将“像石头一样暴跌”。
Trump predicts sharp oil price decline Trump also said oil prices would “drop like a rock” once the war with Iran ended.
“无论如何，这种情况很快就会发生，”他说，暗示房价可能会跌破战前水平。
“It’s got to be very soon, one way or the other,” he said, suggesting prices could fall below prewar levels.
美国抵押贷款银行家协会周三报告称，截至10月2日当周，30年期抵押贷款的平均利率从7.30%升至7.49%，而抵押贷款申请量则下降了4.2%。该协会将利率上升归因于国债收益率上涨、利率波动加剧以及抵押贷款利差扩大。
The Mortgage Bankers Association reported Wednesday that average 30-year mortgage rates rose to 7.49% from 7.30% in the week ending Oct. 2, while applications fell 4.2%. It attributed the higher rates to rising Treasury yields and widening mortgage spreads amid increased rate volatility.
