美联储自2024年以来首次削减了利率,理由是就业数据薄弱,计划进一步削减。 The Fed cut interest rates for the first time since 2024, citing weak jobs data and planning further cuts.

2025年9月17日美联储将其关键利率削减0.25个百分点至4.00%-4.25%,标志着12月以来的第一次下降,反映出对劳动力市场的日益关切,包括就业增长疲软和失业率上升。 The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to a range of 4.00%-4.25% on September 17, 2025, marking the first reduction since December and reflecting growing concerns over the labor market, including weak job growth and a rising unemployment rate. 这一决定的驱动力是从通货膨胀考虑转向劳动力市场健康,其目的是降低抵押贷款、汽车贷款和商业融资的借贷成本,以刺激增长。 The decision, driven by a shift from inflation concerns to job market health, aims to lower borrowing costs for mortgages, car loans, and business financing to stimulate growth. 美联储官员预测,2025年将再削减两次,2026年将削减一次,尽管在制定费率委员会中内部的分歧很明显。 Fed officials projected two more cuts in 2025 and one in 2026, though internal divisions were evident among the rate-setting committee. 这一举动是在关于中央银行独立性的政治压力和辩论加剧的情况下采取的。 The move comes amid heightened political pressure and debates over the central bank's independence.
