聯邦公開市場委員會維持利率不變;三名官員反對寬鬆傾向,米蘭再次尋求降息

By

-- 如預期,聯邦公開市場委員會維持聯邦基金利率目標介於3.50%至3.75%之間,但有四位官員持反對意見。週三下午的聲明顯示,聯準會理事史蒂芬米蘭再次尋求升息25個基點。聲明稱,克利夫蘭聯邦儲備銀行主席貝絲·哈馬克、明尼阿波利斯聯邦儲備銀行主席尼爾·卡什卡利和達拉斯聯邦儲備銀行主席洛里·洛根支持維持利率不變,但「目前不支持在聲明中加入寬鬆傾向」。 與上次會議的聲明相比,此次聲明變化不大,重點仍放在委員會反覆承諾的「如果出現風險,將調整政策」。 聯準會官員近期的言論凸顯了他們對下一步政策走向的分歧,有些人甚至暗示可能需要升息。這些分歧導致了在可能是聯準會主席鮑威爾任期內最後一次會議上出現反對意見,之後凱文沃什將被確認接任。分析人士預計,沃什比鮑威爾更傾向於降息。 鮑威爾的新聞發布會將於美國東部時間下午 2:30 開始。
