美国联邦储备局周三宣布将基准利率下调0.25个百分点，此举虽符合市场预期，但未满足特朗普总统要求更大降幅的需求。今年已是第三次降息。
美国联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）决定将基准利率调整至3.5%至3.75%的区间，此前该利率水平对利息偿还构成较高负担。美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔领导下的这一决定，旨在应对通胀前景的不确定性。
FOMC声明指出：“经济前景的不确定性仍然很高。委员会关注双重使命的两方面风险，并判断最近几个月就业下行风险上升。”这一表述反映出美联储对就业和通胀的双重关注。
特朗普总统长期批评此次降息为时过晚且幅度过小，他要求更大幅度的降息以刺激经济。美联储的独立性因此备受争议，此次决定加剧了这一辩论。
该决定可能影响全球金融市场，通过国际资本流动产生溢出效应。许多央行，包括采用美元挂钩机制的香港金融管理局，通常会跟随美联储的步伐。中国人民银行等机构也需评估其影响。
尽管降息旨在支持经济增长，但高利率水平仍将持续对借款人施压。市场预计，此举将有助于缓解部分经济压力，但全球经济不确定性依然存在。
