财政部请来前美联储提名人 Shelton 做货币政策顾问 重点盯中国
美国财政部10月9日宣布，部长贝森特（Scott Bessent）已聘请经济学家朱迪·谢尔顿（Judy Shelton）担任顾问，负责货币政策，重点评估中国的金融状况。这一职位不需要参议院确认。谢尔顿曾在特朗普第一任期被提名进入美联储理事会，但因她支持金本位等非主流立场，两党议员担忧其影响央行独立性，提名最终受阻。
财政部表示，谢尔顿将向贝森特提供货币政策建议，尤其关注中国的金融条件。她曾任欧洲复兴开发银行美国执行董事、全国民主基金会负责人，并在斯坦福胡佛研究所等地任研究员。此次任命把一位知名的美联储批评者放进行政部门经济团队，正值华盛顿重新审视对华贸易与金融关系之际，后续对人民币汇率与中美金融议题的表态值得留意。（资料来源：路透社，2026年10月9日）
Treasury Brings In Former Fed Nominee Judy Shelton as Currency Adviser Focused on China
The U.S. Treasury Department said on October 9 that Secretary Scott Bessent has hired economist Judy Shelton as an adviser on currency policy, with a particular focus on evaluating financial conditions in China. The role does not require Senate confirmation. Shelton was nominated to the Federal Reserve Board during President Trump's first term, but her nomination stalled amid bipartisan concerns — including her support for a gold standard — that she could threaten the Fed's independence.
Treasury said Shelton will advise Bessent on currency policy, drawing on a career that includes leading the U.S. delegation at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the National Endowment for Democracy, plus fellowships at Stanford's Hoover Institution. The appointment places a prominent critic of the central bank inside the administration's economic team as Washington reassesses trade and financial ties with Beijing.
