波士顿美联储的苏珊·柯林斯(Susan Collins)敦促保持利率稳定,等待通胀向2%目标更明确推进。 Boston Fed's Susan Collins urges holding interest rates steady, awaiting clearer inflation progress toward 2% target.

波士顿美联储总统苏珊·柯林斯(Susan Collins)说,美联储应该维持目前的利率,利率有轻微的限制性,因为没有迫切需要改变。 Boston Fed President Susan Collins said the Federal Reserve should maintain current interest rates, which are mildly restrictive, as there's no urgency for change. 她强调,等待有明确证据表明通货膨胀正在持续地向2%的目标迈进,可能要到2026年底。 She stressed waiting for clear evidence that inflation is sustainably moving toward the 2% target, likely only by late 2026. 尽管2月出现意外失业和油价上涨,但柯林斯指出,稳定增长、稳定的劳动力市场和预期的不通胀是维持稳定的理由。 Despite February's unexpected job loss and rising oil prices, Collins cited steady growth, stable labor markets, and expected disinflation as reasons to hold steady. 她在Mass. Springfield的发言与美联储更广泛的告诫是一致的,米歇尔·鲍曼总督也表示赞同,他还强调在3月18日的决定之前要有耐心,并指出,削减利率将需要更有力地确认通货膨胀方面的进展。 Her remarks, made in Springfield, Mass., align with a broader Fed caution, echoed by Governor Michelle Bowman, who also emphasized patience ahead of the March 18 decision, noting that rate cuts would require stronger confirmation of progress on inflation.
