“Having come so far so quickly, the (Fed’s policymaking committee) is moving forward carefully, as the risks of under- and over-tightening are becoming more balanced,” Powell said in a speech at Spelman College in Atlanta.
鮑威爾在亞特蘭大斯佩爾曼學院的一次演講中說：“（美聯儲決策委員會）走得這麼快，正在謹慎地向前邁進，因爲緊縮不足和過度緊縮的風險變得更加平衡。”
He added, “It would be premature to conclude with confidence that we have achieved a sufficiently restrictive stance, or to speculate on when policy might ease. We are prepared to tighten policy further if it becomes appropriate to do so.”
他補充說：“現在就自信地得出結論，認爲我們已經採取了足夠嚴格的立場，或者猜測政策何時會放鬆還爲時過早。如果合適，我們準備進一步收緊政策。”
