BlockBeats 消息，7 月 31 日，美联储周三维持利率不变，决议过程出现罕见分歧，声明未明确何时可能降息。此次决议遭到两位由特朗普任命的理事——沃勒和鲍曼的反对，两人均认为当前的货币政策过于紧缩。
这是 30 多年来首次有两名理事在决议中投出反对票。FOMC 以 9 比 2 投票决定将基准隔夜利率维持在 4.25%-4.50% 区间，连续第五次会议按兵不动。
美联储在声明中表示：“失业率仍处于低位，就业市场状况依然稳健。通胀仍然略高。”声明同时指出，经济增长在上半年“有所放缓”，这可能强化了若该趋势持续，美联储在未来某次会议上降息的理由。不过声明也强调，“对经济前景的不确定性仍然较高”，并称通胀与就业目标都面临风险。这种措辞反映出美联储在通胀与就业路径尚不明朗前仍不愿贸然降息。(金十)
