邁克爾·S·德爾比報道
New York, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams Said on Monday the U.S. Central Bank Is Likely to Lower Its Interest Rate Target Further Over Time as Inflation Pressures Continue to Cool.
紐約，12月2日（路透社）- 美國紐約聯邦儲備銀行行長約翰·威廉姆斯週一表示，隨着通脹壓力持續減弱，美國央行可能會在未來進一步降低其利率目標。
“Monetary Policy Remains in Restrictive Territory to Support the Sustainable Return of Inflation to Our 2 Percent Goal,” Williams Said in the Text of a Speech to Be Delivered Before a Gathering of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, Held in New York.
「貨幣政策仍處於限制性領域，以支持通貨膨脹可持續回歸我們的2%目標，」 威廉姆斯在紐約舉行的皇后商會聚會上將發表演講時說。
Looking Ahead, “I Expect It Will Be Appropriate to Continue to Move to a More Neutral Policy Setting Over Time,” Williams Said, Adding “the Path for Policy Will Depend on the Data. if We’ve Learned Anything Over the Past Five Years, It’s That the Outlook Remains Highly Uncertain.”
展望未來，「我認爲繼續逐步轉向更加中立的政策設置是適當的，」 威廉姆斯表示，並補充說，「政策路徑將取決於數據。如果我們在過去五年中學到了任何東西，那就是展望仍然高度不確定。」
Williams Offered No Firm Guidance About the Timing of Rate Cuts and Whether He Believes the Fed Will Lower Its Interest Rate Target, Now Set at Between 4.5% and 4.75%, at the Federal Open Market Committee Meeting This Month.
威廉姆斯對減息的時機以及是否認爲聯儲局將在本月的聯邦公開市場委員會會議上降低其利率目標（目前設定在4.5%至4.75%之間）沒有給出明確指導。
Markets Have Braced for More Rate Cuts Amid Guidance of Easier Policy From Central Bank Officials, but New Uncertainties Over President-Elect Donald Trump's Policies Have Clouded That Outlook. in a Speech Monday, Fed Governor Christopher Waller Said “at Present I Lean Toward Supporting a Cut to the Policy Rate at Our December Meeting” Depending on How the Data Come in.
市場已做好了迎接更多減息的準備，因爲中央銀行官員表示政策將更加寬鬆，但候任總統特朗普的政策的新不確定性使前景蒙上陰影。在週一的演講中，聯儲局理事克里斯托弗·沃勒表示：「目前，我傾向於支持在我們12月的會議上減息的政策」 視數據如何而定。
In His Remarks, Williams Said the Economy Is in a “Good Place” and the Labor Market Is “Strong.” He Sees Inflation Continuing to Ebb to the 2% Target Over Time but Warned the Process Could Be Uneven.
在他的講話中，威廉姆斯表示經濟處於「良好狀態」，勞動力市場「強勁」。他認爲通脹將繼續逐步回落至2%的目標，但警告稱這個過程可能是不均勻的。
The Official Said the Economy Should Grow by 2.5% This Year or Maybe More, With the Unemployment Rate Between 4% and 4.25% “Over Coming Months.” Williams Said Inflation Should Be 2.25% for the Year and Said the Job Market Was Unlikely to Be a Source of Upward Price Pressures.
官員表示，今年經濟增長應該爲2.5%，甚至可能更高，失業率在4%和4.25%之間，在未來幾個月會上升。威廉姆斯表示，通貨膨脹率應該爲今年的2.25%，並稱就業市場不太可能成爲價格上漲的壓力來源。
