#美联储FOMC会议 The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting maintains the benchmark interest rate unchanged in the range of 5.25%-5.50%, in line with market expectations. The statement reaffirms that inflation remains high and restrictive policies must be maintained; it acknowledges stable employment and moderate economic expansion. Powell stated that future decisions will depend on data and does not rule out the possibility of further interest rate hikes. Market expectations for rate cuts this year have cooled, U.S. Treasury yields have risen, and the dollar index has strengthened. This decision highlights the determination to control inflation, with policy flexibility becoming a focal point.
