美联储一如预期，全票通过维持政策利率不变。摩根资产管理亚太区首席市场策略师许长泰表示，虽然美联储主席鲍威尔认为，关税所带来的通胀影响可能属于一次性的性质，但亦不排除其持续性较高的可能性。而最近的就业数据势头稳固，令美联储得以维持现有立场。许长泰提到，在美联储下一次会议之前，预计只有一组就业数据公布，因此6月降息的可能性较低。市场对降息预期亦已调整，目前预测6月降息的机率为25%，低于会议前的31%，而7月降息25个基点的机率为80%，并预计今年余下时间将再减息3次。
对于美国国债而言，投资者可能会专注于潜在的债券收益率下降及相应的债券价格上涨。虽然美国总统特朗普的政策为市场带来挑战，但标普500指数自4月初急挫后显著反弹。美国科技股的长期机会仍获认同，考虑到美元兑亚洲货币的压力，环球分散投资仍然审慎。
