歐洲央行降至2.75％，不會進入比特幣儲備

歐洲中央銀行在周四降低了預期的利率，並為更輕鬆開放的選擇留下了選擇。它堅持認為，儘管擔心全球貿易，但歐元區的通貨膨脹主要是受到控制的。

The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates again on Thursday, leaving the door open for further easing as it flagged concerns about global trade despite weitgehend keeping inflation in the euro zone under control.

歐洲中央銀行（ECB）在周四再次降低了利率，儘管WeitgeHend一直控制著歐元區的通貨膨脹，但它引起了人們對全球貿易的關注，這使大門開放了。

The ECB made its fifth rate cut since June, taking the deposit rate to 2.75% from 3.0%. The euro zone economy has shown some signs of recovery in recent surveys, but it remains weak and inflation is still slightly above the ECB’s 2% target.

自6月以來，歐洲央行降低了第五次降低，將存款利率從3.0％降至2.75％。歐元區經濟在最近的調查中顯示出一些恢復的跡象，但它仍然很弱，通貨膨脹率仍然略高於歐洲央行的2％目標。

The rate cut was needed to support growth and keep inflation on track, the ECB said.

歐洲央行說，需要降低利率以支持增長並保持通貨膨脹的正軌。

“The disinflation process is well under way,” the ECB noted in its statement.

歐洲央行在其聲明中指出：“解散過程正在進行中。”

ECB officials have said that inflation is still high because wages and prices are adjusting slowly after the past surge in inflation. But wage growth is now slowing down as expected and company profits are helping to reduce the impact of inflation, the ECB said.

歐洲央行官員表示，通貨膨脹率仍然很高，因為過去的通貨膨脹率激增後工資和價格正在緩慢調整。歐洲央行說，但是工資增長現在正在按預期的速度放緩，公司利潤正在幫助減少通貨膨脹的影響。

ECB policymakers were likely relieved that U.S. President Donald Trump’s new administration has not yet imposed the blanket trade tariffs that were feared.

歐洲央行決策者可能會放心，美國總統唐納德·特朗普的新政府尚未徵收所擔心的毛毯貿易關稅。

But his threats still loom over the economic outlook. Tariffs tend to weaken economic growth and if countries respond with tariffs of their own, that could drive up inflation.

但是他的威脅仍然對經濟前景存在隱約。關稅往往會削弱經濟增長，如果各國對自己的關稅做出反應，這可能會促進通貨膨脹。

That could complicate the ECB’s plans to ease interest rates.

這可能會使歐洲央行降低利率的計劃變得複雜。

In the United States, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced its first monetary policy decision of 2025, keeping interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.5% range, in line with expectations.

在美國，聯邦公開市場委員會（FOMC）宣布了其2025年的第一個貨幣政策決定，使利率穩定在4.25％-4.5％的範圍內，符合預期。
