The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points and forecast a slower pace of reductions next year as policymakers raised their outlook on inflation.
本 聯邦公開市場委員會 降低了目標聯邦所有基金類型利率25個點子，並預計明年降低速度會減緩，因爲決策者們提高了對通脹的預期。
The target rate was lowered to a range of 4.25%-4.5% Wednesday, the Federal Reserve said in a statement Wednesday at the end of policymakers two-day meeting. While the previous decision to lower rates was unanimous, this time around, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Beth M. Hammack voted against the move, preferring instead to hold the benchmark borrowing cost steady at 4.5% to 4.75%.
聯儲局在週三結束政策制定者爲期兩天的會議時表示，目標利率被下調至4.25%-4.5%的區間。雖然之前下調利率的決定是全體一致的，但此次克利夫蘭聯邦儲備銀行的貝絲·哈馬克投票反對此舉，而是傾向於將基準借貸成本保持在4.5%至4.75%不變。
The committee's so-called dot plot, which illustrates the forecast by members of the FOMC, showed the median fed funds rate outlook at 3.9%, implying expectations of two cuts of 25 basis points each, by the end of 2025. That compares with their previous median outlook that called for a rate of 3.4%.
委員會的所謂點陣圖，展示了成員們的預測。 聯邦公開市場委員會, 顯示的聯邦利率期貨中位數預期爲3.9%，這意味着預計到2025年底將各減少25個點子兩次。這與他們先前的中位數預期3.4%相比。
While little has changed in the tenor of the FOMC statement, officials emphasized that "the extent and timing of additional cuts" will depend on the evolving outlook, incoming data and the balance of risks.
雖然聲明的語調沒有太大變化， 聯邦公開市場委員會 官員們強調，"額外削減的幅度和時機"將取決於不斷變化的前景、傳入數據和風險平衡。
The personal consumption expenditures inflation was expected by policymakers at 2.5% in 2025, higher than the 2.1% they forecast in their meeting in September. Core PCE, the Fed's preferred gauge, was seen at 2.5%, up from the 2.2% previously. Unemployment rate was predicted to reach 4.3%, lower than the 4.4% in their previous summary of economic projections (SEP).
政策制定者預計2025年個人消費支出通脹爲2.5%，高於他們在九月會議上預期的2.1%。核心個人消費支出（Core PCE），聯儲局偏愛的指標，被預測爲2.5%，高於之前的2.2%。失業率預計將達到4.3%，低於他們之前經濟預測摘要中的4.4%。
