FOMC將基準聯邦資金利率保持在當前範圍為4.25％至4.50％。

儘管淨出口的波動影響了數據，但最近的指標表明，經濟活動持續不斷擴大。

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members voted to keep the benchmark federal funds rate at the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced Wednesday.

美國美聯儲周三宣布，聯邦公開市場委員會（FOMC）成員投票決定將基準的聯邦資金利率保持在4.25％至4.50％的範圍內。

The committee also said it will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities.

該委員會還表示，它將繼續減少其國庫券，代理商債務和代理抵押支持證券的持股。

At its last meeting in March, the FOMC said it would slow the pace of the decline of its securities holdings by reducing the monthly redemption cap on Treasury securities from $25 billion to $5 billion and maintaining the monthly redemption cap on agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities at $35 billion.

FOMC在3月的最後一次會議上表示，它將通過將國庫券的每月贖回上限從250億美元降低到50億美元，並將機構債務抵押貸款抵押證券的每月贖回上限降低到350億美元。

“It’s a positioning regime defined more by caution than conviction, with the derivatives market reflecting structural trades rather than directional aggression,” Dr. Kirill Kretov, senior automation expert at CoinPanel, told The Block earlier Wednesday. “There’s little sign of hedging downside, nor are traders leaning too far into bullish risk-repricing.”

Coinpanel高級自動化專家Kirill Kretov博士在周三早些時候對街區說：“這是一個定義的定位，而不是定罪，而衍生品市場反映了結構性交易而不是定向侵略。” “沒有什麼跡象表明對沖偏低，交易者也不會偏向看漲的代價。”
