摘要:

1.Federal Reserve policy makers raised the benchmark U.S. interest rate a 12th straight time to head off faster inflation and signaled they aren't finished yet.

FED政策執行者第十二次調高美國指標利率以抑制快速的通貨膨脹且暗示此項動作尚未結束

 

2.The Fed reinforced that idea by keeping language in its statement that says rates may rise a ``measured'' pace, which investors have come to interpret as quarter-point increases

FED在聲明中增強了升息的"可衡量的"步驟,投資人解讀為升息0.25%

 

3.``Core inflation has been relatively low in recent months and longer term inflation expectations remain contained,'' today's FOMC statement said.

聯邦準備理事會聲明稿說:核心通膨在近幾個月相當低,而且長期通膨的預期依然維持從容的局勢

 

4.The statement shows the Fed has no intention of stopping its rate increases soon, said Peter Kretzmer, senior economist at Banc of America Securities in New York. ``As long as any weaknesses appear to be temporary, they don't appear to be overly fazed by it,'' Kretzmer said

Banc of America Securities 高階經濟學者 Peter Kretzmer表示聲明中顯示FED沒有任何意圖快速停止升息;像任何顯示暫時性的衰退時間長度,他們不會表現出過於擔憂的現象

 

5.``The Fed does not want to let inflation expectations build up in the economy, so it needs to err on the side of tightening,'' W. Lee Hoskins, former president of the Fed Bank of Cleveland, said in an interview from Reno, Nevada.

前任FED Cleveland銀行總裁W. Lee Hoskins在Reno, Nevada 接受專訪表示, FED不想讓通膨預期建立於經濟活動之中,所以它需要解除緊張的一端

 

6.The Fed's preferred inflation measure, the Commerce Department's personal consumption expenditures index excluding food and energy, rose at a 1.3 percent annual rate in the third quarter from the prior period. That's the slowest since a 1 percent pace in the second quarter of 2003. Prices rose 1.9 percent on a year-over-year basis, the department said Oct. 28

FED偏好的通膨衡量標準,商業部的個人消費支出指數(去除食物與能源),在第三季比去年同期上升1.3%,此為2003年第二季1%以來最低,以10/28日商務部公佈的年增率(今年至10/28日)基礎為上升1.9%

 

7.``My greatest worry is not that U.S consumption will slow; it has to, because it is being fueled by unsustainable forces,'' said Raghuram Rajan, director of the International Monetary Fund's research department, on Oct. 25. ``My worry is that it will slow abruptly, taking away a major support from world growth before other supports are in place.''

國際貨幣基金會研究部門Raghuram Rajan在10/25日提到他最擔心的不是美國消費趨緩,因為它是被無法維持的力量所供應;他擔心在其他支撐力量出現之前意外的下滑帶走支持國際成長的主力

 

8.With today's action, the U.S. policy rate is 2 percentage points above the European Central Bank's refinancing rate, 1 percentage point higher than the Bank of Canada's overnight rate, and a half point below the Bank of England's base lending rate.

今日FED升息後,美國利率高於歐洲央行2%,比加拿大高1 %,比英格蘭銀行低0.5%

 

9.Fed officials are still trying to determine what represents a neutral policy rate

FED官員依然嘗試決定中性貨幣政策
