-- 正如预期，联邦公开市场委员会维持联邦基金利率目标在3.50%至3.75%之间，但四位官员持反对意见。周三下午的声明显示，美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰再次寻求加息25个基点。声明称，克利夫兰联储主席贝丝·哈马克、明尼阿波利斯联储主席尼尔·卡什卡利和达拉斯联储主席洛里·洛根支持维持利率不变，但“目前不支持在声明中加入宽松倾向”。 与上次会议的声明相比，此次声明变化不大，重点仍然放在委员会反复承诺的“如果出现风险，将调整政策”上。 美联储官员近期的言论凸显了他们对下一步政策走向的分歧，一些人甚至暗示可能需要加息。这些分歧导致了在可能是美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔任期内最后一次会议上出现反对意见，之后凯文·沃什将被确认接任。分析人士预计，沃什比鲍威尔更倾向于降息。 鲍威尔的新闻发布会将于美国东部时间下午 2:30 开始。
