Odaily星球日报讯 美联储维持利率不变，对于在通胀仍高于目标、增长继续且失业率较低的经济体中何时会进一步降低借贷成本几乎没有见解。美联储官员表示，他们基本上认为降低通胀的进展将在今年恢复，但现在已暂停降低利率，等待数据确认。官员们表示，他们想看看未来几个月通胀是否继续下降到美联储的目标水平，然后再再次放松货币政策，同时也对特朗普的计划对价格压力、劳动力市场和经济增长的影响表示不确定。（金十）

美联储维持利率不变，在政策声明中不再提及通胀“进展”

Odaily reports that the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged, and has provided little insight into when it will further lower borrowing costs in an economy where inflation remains well above target, growth continues, and unemployment is low. Federal Reserve officials said they generally believe progress in lowering inflation will resume this year, but have now paused further interest rate cuts, waiting for data confirmation. Officials said they want to see if inflation continues to decline to the Federal Reserve's target level in the coming months, before easing monetary policy again, while also expressing uncertainty about the impact of Trump's plans on price pressures, the labor market, and economic growth.

Fed keeps rates unchanged, drops mention of inflation 'progress' in policy statement

According to the news compiled by ChainCatcher, several financial institutions have expressed their views on the upcoming FOMC meeting of the Federal Reserve:

<Standard Chartered Bank: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged this month, and a wait-and-see attitude will be taken on the issue of interest rate cuts, and Powell is unlikely to want the FOMC to take a more hawkish stance at this stage.>

<Nordea Bank: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged, and wait for more data and information on President Trump's policies, and it is expected that there will be two interest rate cuts in May and September 2025.>

<PIMCO: The Federal Reserve may "maintain interest rates unchanged in the foreseeable future", and may even raise borrowing costs, as officials are waiting for clarification on Trump's policies.>

<Goldman Sachs Group: It is expected that this meeting will not provide much new information, and it is unlikely to provide forward-looking guidance for policy action in March, and there will be two 25BP interest rate cuts in June and September this year.>

<Bank of America: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged, the economic data is tending to be stable, or the expectations for the job market will be revised upwards. Powell may retain maximum flexibility for the policy decision in March.>

<ING: It is expected that monetary policy will not change. The rapid rise in government bond yields has significantly increased the borrowing costs of consumers and businesses, and it is predicted that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates three times in 2025.>

<Rabobank: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged, and Powell is expected to be cautious about further interest rate cuts, while avoiding questions about the impact of Trump's policies on the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.>

<JPMorgan Chase: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged, and the possibility of taking action at the March meeting will not be ruled out, focusing on whether and how the Federal Reserve will incorporate Trump's policies into its policy review.>

<Natixis: It is expected that the interest rate will remain unchanged, and a hawkish surprise is unlikely, and attention needs to be paid to how the Federal Reserve views the combination of Trump's policies and their impact on inflation and economic growth.>

<Ernst & Young: The data shows that the economy is stable, and inflation is more stubborn than expected. It is expected that the interest rate cut will be suspended this week, and as many options as possible will be retained in order to further adjust the federal funds rate this year.>

Many institutions look ahead to the Fed's interest rate decision, and "no action" is almost certain

Odaily Odaily News reports that "New Bond King" Gundlach said the interest rate decision the Federal Reserve is about to make is the most predictable "no action" in recent years. However, although most people expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates stable at this week's meeting, traders have increased their bullish bets on U.S. Treasuries, as they hope Fed Chair Powell will signal a potential rate cut at the March meeting. Gundlach said the focus of Powell's press conference should be on the dual mandate of price stability and full employment, "which are currently in tension with each other, making this more prominent than ever before."

"New Bond King" Gundlach: The Fed faces the most predictable "standstill" in years

Odaily reports that as the Federal Reserve's two-day meeting begins, investors have already accepted the fact that the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates this time. But with the stock market at a vulnerable point, they are looking for any signals from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell about the direction of inflation. John Belton, a portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds, said, "Powell's tone on the inflation issue is crucial for Wall Street, as traders need to hear that price pressures are continuing to ease, as there is clearly potential for a black swan event." Swap contracts show that traders expect the Federal Reserve to pause rate cuts, but they are unsure how long the pause will last. This is why Powell's tone in the press conference after the local time Wednesday afternoon interest rate decision is worth watching. If he shows any attitude other than cautious and unwilling to commit, it will be out of character, but Wall Street professionals will listen for any indication of his thoughts in his wording or tone.
