<p>11 月 2 日（路透社）——美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周日表示，由于高利率，美国经济的部分领域，特别是住房，可能已经陷入衰退，并重申了他对美联储加快降息的呼吁。“我认为我们状况良好，但我认为经济的某些领域正在衰退，” 贝森特在 CNN 的《国情咨文》节目中表示。“美联储的政策造成了许多分配性问题。” 贝森特表示，尽管美国整体经济依然稳健，但高抵押贷款利率仍然阻碍房地产市场。他表示，住房实际上处于一种衰退状态，低端消费者受到的影响最大，因为他们有债务而不是资产。根据全国房地产经纪人协会的数据，美国 9 月份的待售房屋销售持平。</p>

</div><p>Nov 2 (Reuters) - Parts of the U.S. economy, particularly housing, may already be in recession because of high interest rates, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday, repeating his call for the Federal Reserve to accelerate rate cuts. “I think that we are in good shape, but I think that there are sectors of the economy that are in recession,” Bessent said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “And the Fed has caused a lot of distributional problems with their policies.” Bessent said that, although the overall U.S. economy remains solid, high mortgage rates still hinder the real estate market. Housing, he said, is effectively in a recession that is hitting low-end consumers the hardest because they have debts, not assets. Pending home sales in the United States were flat in September, according to the National Association of Realtors.</p>

</div><p>Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran, who is on leave from his post as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in an interview with the New York Times published on Saturday that the Fed risked inducing a recession if it did not swiftly lower interest rates. Miran, who is due to return to his White House job in January, was one of two central bank governors who dissented from last week’s Fed decision to lower interest rates by 25 basis points, arguing instead for a cut of 50 basis points, or 0.5 percentage point.</p>

</div><p>“If you keep policy this tight for a long period of time, then you run the risk that monetary policy itself is inducing a recession,” Miran said in the New York Times interview, which was conducted on Friday. “I don’t see a reason to run that risk if I’m not concerned about inflation on the upside.” Bessent echoed that view, saying that the Trump administration’s cuts in government spending had helped to lower the deficit-to-gross-domestic-product ratio to 5.9% from 6.4%, which in turn should help lower inflation. The Fed can also help by continuing to bring down interest rates, he said.</p>
