美国劳工部于当地时间5月15日公布数据显示，今年4月，美国消费者价格指数（CPI）环比上涨0.3%，同比上涨3.4%，这一数据符合市场预期。
数据显示，美国4月CPI上涨主要受到食品和能源价格的推动。其中，食品价格上涨0.9%，能源价格上涨1.0%。而剔除食品和能源的核心CPI环比上涨0.2%，同比上涨2.7%。
市场分析师指出，美国4月CPI涨幅符合预期，主要受到全球疫情反弹影响，导致供应链紧张，从而推高了商品价格。此外，美国政府的刺激政策也增加了市场的购买力，进一步推动了物价上涨。
尽管4月CPI涨幅符合市场预期，但美国通胀压力仍然存在。美联储官员近日表示，当前通胀水平尚未达到美联储的目标，但随着经济复苏和供应链问题的缓解，通胀将逐步回升至目标水平。
美联储主席鲍威尔此前也表示，美联储将继续监测通胀和就业情况，以决定何时开始调整货币政策。他重申，美联储将在实现通胀和就业目标之前，保持宽松的货币政策立场。
展望未来，分析师预计，随着疫苗接种进展和美国经济复苏，美国CPI涨幅可能进一步扩大。但美联储调整货币政策的可能性不大，直至通胀压力明显超过目标水平。
总体来说，美国4月CPI涨幅符合市场预期，通胀压力尚在可控范围内。然而，随着经济复苏和供应链问题的缓解，通胀上升趋势仍值得关注。美联储将继续监测通胀和就业情况，以决定货币政策调整时机。

**Headline:** U.S. April CPI Rises 3.4% Year-on-Year, in Line with Market Expectations
**Keywords:** U.S. CPI, Year-on-Year Increase, in Line with Expectations
**News Content:** Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on local time May 15 showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.3% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year in April, figures that matched market expectations.
The data indicated that the April CPI increase in the U.S. was mainly driven by food and energy prices, with food prices rising by 0.9% and energy prices up by 1.0%. Excluding food and energy, the core CPI rose by 0.2% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year.
Market analysts pointed out that the April U.S. CPI increase was in line with expectations, mainly affected by the rebound of the global pandemic, which led to tight supply chains and thereby elevated commodity prices. Additionally, U.S. government stimulus policies had also increased market purchasing power, further pushing up prices.
Although the April CPI increase met market expectations, inflation pressures in the U.S. remain. Recently, Federal Reserve officials said that the current inflation level has not yet reached the Fed’s target, but with economic recovery and the resolution of supply chain issues, inflation will gradually rise to the target level.
Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell also said that the Fed will continue to monitor inflation and employment to decide when to start adjusting monetary policy. He reiterated that the Fed will maintain a loose monetary policy stance until the inflation and employment targets are achieved.
Looking ahead, analysts predict that with the progress of vaccinations and the recovery of the U.S. economy, the U.S. CPI increase may further expand. However, it is unlikely that the Fed will adjust monetary policy until inflation pressures clearly exceed target levels.
Overall, the U.S. April CPI increase was in line with market expectations, and inflation pressures are still within a controllable range. Nevertheless, with economic recovery and the resolution of supply chain issues, the upward trend in inflation is still worth watching. The Federal Reserve will continue to monitor inflation and employment to determine the timing of monetary policy adjustments.
