美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔今天晚些时候的讲话可能会震动市场，因为他将面临有关央行货币政策前景的质疑

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised its benchmark fed funds rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.5%-4.75% on Wednesday, as widely expected by market participants.

正如市场参与者普遍预期的那样，周三美联储将基准联邦基金利率上调25个基点至4.5%-4.75%的目标区间。

The central bank also signaled that further rate hikes will be needed to rein in inflation, which remained stubbornly high despite recent easing.

央行还表示，需要进一步加息来抑制通胀，尽管近期采取了宽松政策，但通胀仍居高不下。

"Inflation has declined somewhat since early this year, but remains elevated," the Fed said in a statement following a two-day policy meeting. "The labor market continues to be strong, with low unemployment and solid job gains in recent months."

美联储在为期两天的政策会议后发表声明称，“自今年年初以来，通胀有所下降，但仍处于高位”。 “劳动力市场持续强劲，近几个月失业率较低，就业增长强劲。”

"The Committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate to achieve its objectives," the statement added.

声明补充说：“委员会预计目标范围的持续增加将有助于实现其目标。”

The Fed raised rates by 50 basis points in March, followed by four consecutive 75 bps hikes, before slowing down to a 50 bps increase again in December.

美联储在 3 月份加息 50 个基点，随后连续四次加息 75 个基点，然后在 12 月份再次放缓至 50 个基点。
