市场分析：美联储如预期维持利率不变 鲍威尔任期内再次降息的窗口开始关闭

Core Viewpoint - Jerome Powell has two opportunities to adjust interest rates before the end of his term, but he may not need to do so as the Federal Reserve maintains a cautious optimism regarding the U.S. economic outlook and signs of stabilization in the labor market [1] Group 1 - The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged, indicating that there are no immediate signs requiring further rate cuts to support the economy [1] - Futures markets predict that interest rates will remain stable until at least June, coinciding with the end of Powell's term and the potential for a new chair to initiate another phase of rate cuts encouraged by Donald Trump [1] - Only two voting officials, Stephen Milan and Christopher Waller, advocated for further rate cuts, with Milan having previously served as a senior economic advisor to Trump and Waller being a candidate for the new chair position [1] Group 2 - Stephanie Roth, Chief Economist at Wolfe Research, stated that the window for rate cuts under Powell's leadership has effectively closed, reflecting a more optimistic view on the labor market and overall economic outlook [1]
