maggy hwang·16 hours ago改變升息格局的數據 — CPI消費者物價指數從去年到今年通貨膨脹、升息的議題持續圍繞著股市,但是通貨膨脹要怎麼衡量呢?今天就來講講這個對於通膨數據有著絕對影響力的CPI。 我們開始學如何投資,有多少人是被一句「我們要跑贏通膨退休生活才不會太辛苦」刺激開始的?講的通貨膨脹好像十惡不赦一樣。所以,今天來幫通膨發個聲,我們先來理清一下一個觀念,雖然通貨膨脹會讓貨幣的實際購買力降低(生活成本增加),但他某些層面也反映了這個國家的經濟狀況。如果太高,就會造成惡性通膨,太低就是通貨緊縮 (經濟可能不景氣),所以維持在一個溫和的通貨膨脹率是有必要的。 一般而言,「溫和的通膨(moderate inflation)」對經濟的運作,是有調節的作用,對經濟發展有正面意義。目前國際間可接受的溫和通膨率大約介於3%~5%左右。而美聯儲的目前的通膨目標則為「平均通膨2%」。物價若能保持長期穩定、緩和的速度上漲,就具有可預測性,對於公司經營層面而言,能夠更好的預估現金流量比率、商品訂貨量及商品訂價等等。Cpi9 min read
