Bond ETFs Unfazed By Fed Decision To Keep Rates Steady
The bond market remained stable on Thursday morning after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, as bond exchange-traded funds stayed flat in early-morning trading.
在联邦储备委员会周三未调整利率的情况下，债券市场在周四早晨保持稳定，早盘交易中，债券交易所交易基金保持平稳。
The Fed kept rates at a 23-year high of between 5.25% and 5.5% on Wednesday as it strives to lower the 3.3% inflation rate to 2%.
美联储周三将利率维持在5.25％至5.5％的23年高水平，旨在将3.3％的通货膨胀率降至2％。
"The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent," the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.
该机构周三在一份声明中表示：“委员会预计，直到取得更大的信心，认为通胀持续向2％的目标前进，降低目标区间是不适宜的。”
But policymakers have said they will start lowering rates once they are assured that inflation is heading toward the 2% target. They also scaled back its forecast from three rate cuts to just one this year after an inflation rose in early 2024.
但政策制定者表示，一旦确信通胀正在朝向2％的目标前进，他们将开始降息。在通胀在2024年初上升后，他们还将将其预测从三次降息削减为一次。
"The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks," the Fed said.
美联储表示：“经济前景不确定，委员会仍高度关注通胀风险。”

美联储表示：“如果出现可能妨碍委员会实现目标的风险，委员会将准备适当调整货币政策的立场。”
