The US Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its target rate as expected by most market participants. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept its March growth projections largely unchanged, but almost half of the committee now anticipates lower policy rates later this year. During his press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank now sees additional risks to the outlook from trade policy, investment intentions, and manufacturing.

与外界普遍预期一致,美联储维持了目标利率。美国联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)维持其3月份增长预期基本不变,但近一半FOMC成员目前预计,今年晚些时候将下调政策利率。美联储主席鲍威尔在新闻发布会上表示,美联储现在认为贸易政策、投资意向和制造业对经济前景构成了额外的风险。
