美國美聯儲保持穩定，消除了通貨膨脹的“進度”

隨之而來的政策聲明指出，失業率在“低水平”和通貨膨脹上穩定在“某種程度上有所提高”。

The U.S. Federal Reserve kept its benchmark fed funds range rate steady at 4.25%-4.50% on Wednesday, as expected, pausing for the first time since it began easing policy last September.

如預期的那樣，美國美聯儲將其基準美聯儲資金範圍穩定在周三的4.25％-4.50％處，自從去年9月開始放鬆政策以來，這是第一次停頓。

The accompanying policy statement noted that the unemployment rate had stabilized at a "low level" and inflation remained "somewhat elevated."

隨之而來的政策聲明指出，失業率在“低水平”和通貨膨脹上穩定在“某種程度上有所提高”。

The wording was hawkish as it removed last month's reference to "progress" on inflation moving to its 2% target.

該措辭是霍克什（Hawkish），因為它消除了上個月對通貨膨脹轉移到其2％目標的“進度”的提及。

Under pressure for most of this week, the price of bitcoin (BTC) dipped to $101,800 shortly following the news.

在本周大部分時間的壓力下，新聞後不久，比特幣（BTC）的價格下跌至101,800美元。

U.S. stocks added to the day's losses, with the Nasdaq down 1.1% and the S&P 500 lower by 0.9%. The dollar and gold were little-changed and the 10-year Treasury yield rose 5 basis points to 4.59%.

美國股票增加了當天的損失，納斯達克股票下跌1.1％，標準普爾500指數降低了0.9％。美元和黃金幾乎沒有變化，十年期財政收益率上升了5個基點，達到4.59％。

Since the Fed's first September rate cut, the fed funds rate has been slashed by 100 basis points. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, however, has gone in the opposite direction, rising to 4.6% fro 3.6% — a divergence between short-term and long-term rates that rarely has been seen.

自從美聯儲的第一個9月降低稅率以來，美聯儲資金利率已被削減100個基點。然而，美國10年的財政收益率朝著相反的方向發展，上升至3.6％，這是很少見到的短期和長期利率之間的差異。

That divergence as well as a series of stronger than expected reports on the economy and inflation has not been lost on the Fed. Following the bank's December meeting, Chair Jerome Powell made clear that any further rate cuts — at least for the moment — were on hold.

美聯儲的差異以及一系列關於經濟和通貨膨脹的預期報告還沒有損失。銀行12月的會議之後，主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾（Jerome Powell）明確表示，至少目前的任何進一步降低稅率都被擱置了。

Powell's post-meeting press conference begins shortly, at which market participants will look for further guidance about future policy.

鮑威爾的會議郵政新聞發布會很快就開始了，市場參與者將在其中尋求有關未來政策的進一步指導。
