Group 1 - The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate target range to 4.00% to 4.25%, marking the first rate cut of 2025 and following three cuts in 2024 [2] - The primary concern for the Federal Reserve is the weak employment market, with non-farm payrolls increasing by only 22,000 in August, significantly below market expectations [2][3] - The inflation rate remains above the Fed's long-term target of 2%, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 2.9% year-on-year in August, the largest increase since January [3] Group 2 - Observers note that while the rate cut aligns with expectations, it may not alleviate the Trump administration's dissatisfaction with the Fed, which has been under pressure to lower rates significantly [4] - The Fed's decision-making body indicated that future adjustments to the federal funds rate will depend on ongoing data assessments and changing economic conditions [6] - The median forecast from the Fed's dot plot suggests a cumulative rate cut of 50 basis points in the remaining two policy meetings of the year [7] Group 3 - The probability of another 25 basis point rate cut in the October meeting has risen to 87.7%, up from 74.3% the previous day [8] - Analysts believe that while rate cuts may lower borrowing costs and stimulate demand, ongoing issues such as tariffs and immigration policies could negatively impact consumer and business confidence, complicating the Fed's inflation control efforts [9] - Economists suggest that the Fed may adopt a more cautious approach, with fewer than two rate hikes anticipated in 2025 [10]

美元兑日元最近真是上演了一出精彩的"多空对决"。周三这天，汇率先是跌破了146.20这个重要支撑位，就在市场以为要继续下探时， 却突然上演绝地反击，一口气反弹150多点，重新站上147关口，让不少交易者直呼意外。 下面的支撑也很明确。146.00-146.20这个区域经过上次的假突破考验，证明还是比较可靠的。不过万一真的跌破了146，那可能就要往 下看到145.50甚至145.00了。 最近日本的经济数据不太理想，7月核心机械订单环比下降4.6%，确实让人有些失望。而美联储虽然降息，但态度还是挺鹰派的，这让 美元获得了一些支撑。不过市场更关注的可能是日本央行接下来的动作，毕竟现在日本通胀起来了，劳动力市场也很紧张，货币政策正 常化的预期一直都在。 眼下市场目光都聚焦在147.40到148.00这个关键区域。这个位置可不简单，汇聚了前期多个高点，特别是148这个整数关口，堪称多空分 水岭。要是能突破这里，往上看就是200日均线和本月高点149附近了。不过从MACD和RSI这些指标来看，现在的上涨动能还不够强 劲，需要再积蓄一些力量。 ...

该机构表示，向前看，美联储货币政策决策关注点已由通胀转为就业。进入四季度后，就业市场的下行 风险较为确定，10月大概率再降息1次；至12月，美联储或将视就业表现决定是否继续降息。 长江证券研报认为，9月美联储降息25BP并无意外，与此前市场普遍预期的一致：当前就业的走弱，以 及通胀的温和让美联储风险平衡转向就业，选择适度降息以应对就业下行风险。 该机构认为，声明公布后，由于此前市场对降息的预期较为充分，外加鲍威尔表态也偏中性，强调"本 次为风险管理式降息，未来政策路径仍取决于数据"，市场呈现"利好出尽"行情：美元指数、10年期美 债收益率短线下行后反弹回升，美股短暂上涨后震荡走弱。 北京时间9月18日凌晨，美联储宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点到4.00%至4.25%之间，符合 市场预期。这也是美联储自去年12月以来，时隔9个月再度降息。 上证报中国证券网讯（卢伊 记者 徐蔚）北京时间9月18日凌晨，美联储宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间下 调25个基点到4.00%至4.25%之间，符合市场预期。这也是美联储自去年12月以来，时隔9个月再度降 息。 ...

每经记者｜岳楚鹏 每经编辑｜程鹏 兰素英 当地时间9月17日下午，北京时间今天（9月18日）凌晨，美国联邦储备委员会货币政策会议纪要显示，美联储决定将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基 点，至4.00%-4.25%之间。这是美联储自2024年12月以来的首次降息，预计年内还将降息两次。联邦公开市场委员会以11比1的投票结果通过降息25个基点 的决定。刚刚就职的美联储理事、目前仍担任白宫经济顾问委员会主席的斯蒂芬·米兰是唯一持不同意见者，他主张降息50个基点。在今年7月货币政策会 议上不同意维持利率不变的两位理事米歇尔·鲍曼和克里斯托弗·沃勒对本次会议批准的降息幅度表示满意。 美联储主席鲍威尔当天在回答记者提问时，再次强调了美联储的独立性。美国总统特朗普自今年1月上任以来持续施压美联储降息，并提名白宫经济顾问 委员会主席斯蒂芬·米兰出任美联储理事。鲍威尔还证实，美联储正在推行10%的减员计划，涵盖理事会及所有储备银行——完成后美联储雇员规模将基 本回归十年前水平。 国金证券首席经济学家宋雪涛向《每日经济新闻》记者（以下简称"每经记者"）表示，9月的降息决策是一个政治与经济的双面镜，25个基点显得有点 少，50个基 ...

美联储主席鲍威尔在货币政策例会后的记者会上表示，当前劳动力市场活力不足且略显疲软，美联储需 要平衡"双重使命的两端"。被问及有新的理事成员加入，鲍威尔强调美联储将坚定致力于保持其独立 性。对于25个基点的降息幅度，他认为市场已经提前消化了预期，但此次降息非常重要，是对劳动力市 场的支持。 声明称，最近的指标表明美国上半年经济活动有所放缓。就业增长放缓，失业率略有上升但仍处于低 位。通胀率有所上升，仍处于略高水平。美联储寻求在较长时期内实现充分就业和2%通胀目标。经济 前景不确定性仍然较高。美联储密切关注其双重使命面临的风险，并判断就业形势的下行风险已经上 升。 声明称，为实现目标并鉴于风险平衡的变化，美联储决定将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点到4% 至4.25%的水平。在考虑进一步调整利率时，美联储将仔细评估后续数据、不断变化的前景以及风险平 衡。美联储将继续减持美国国债、机构债券和机构抵押贷款支持证券。 声明提到，美国总统特朗普提名的美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰投票反对此次利率决策，主张将联邦基金利 率目标区间下调50个基点。 当天，美联储公布的经济预测概要显示，与6月时相比，美联储将今年的GDP增速预期中值 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on September 16 is crucial as it influences not only U.S. interest rates but also global capital flows and economic policies of other countries [1][7]. Meeting Schedule - FOMC holds eight meetings annually, with four key meetings in March, June, September, and December, where economic projections and the "dot plot" are released, serving as indicators for future monetary policy [2][3]. Meeting Process - The FOMC meeting consists of several steps: economic data presentations, policy discussions, voting on the federal funds rate, and the release of a statement that is closely analyzed by the market [3][4][5][6]. Impact on Interest Rates - FOMC decisions directly affect U.S. dollar interest rates, influencing mortgage rates, corporate financing costs, and savings returns, which are critical for American households [7]. Key Focus Areas - The September meeting is particularly noteworthy due to the potential for a shift in monetary policy, with market speculation about a possible 25 basis point rate cut, which could signal a move towards easing [9][10]. Core Highlights - The meeting will focus on whether to cut rates, the release of the economic projections and dot plot, and the press conference by Chairman Powell, which will address the Fed's independence amid political pressures [10].

可以说，美联储最新利率决议的最大的意外是：只有一票反对。美联储主席鲍威尔在不利局面下，依然 成功促成了本周货币政策会议上几乎一致的共识，新任理事米兰是唯一一个投票反对降息25个基点的 人。米兰是特朗普的亲密盟友，他刚在周二宣誓就任临时美联储理事。他反对的理由是支持更大幅度的 降息——这正是特朗普几个月来一直要求的。不过，理事沃勒和鲍曼在七月份曾提出过鸽派异议，但这 次并未再如此表态。毕马威首席经济学家Diane Swonk表示："很明显，鲍威尔成功把'猫赶到了一起'(把 意见不和的人都拢到一起）。"（格隆汇） ...

特朗普发动关税战以来，美国金融市场屡受重创，象征美国经济标志的美联储正迎来一次关键性的大变革。 9月17日，美联储就要召开联邦公开市场委员会会议了，该会议也被称为FOMC会议。 FOMC隶属于联邦储备系统，主要任务是决定美国货币政策，通过货币调控，达到经济增长，及物价稳定，可以说，这种会议对美国的影响是巨大的。 会议召开前夕，一组来自劳动力市场的数据彻底改变了市场对美联储货币政策的预期调整计划。 美国劳工部于9月12日公布的非农就业年度修正数据显示，2025年3月，基期的非农就业总数被大幅下修91.1万人，是自1979年以来最大的一次年度修正。 配合此前发布的数据，这一数据直接推动市场对美联储9月降息的预期达到了板上钉钉的程度。联邦基金期货市场已定价，9月将降息25个基点，全年来看， 市场押注降息总次数达2.81次（约70.3个基点）。 更重要的是，特朗普派理事加入会议，美联储独立性受到了重创。 事情是这样的，9月10日，美国参议院银行委员会批准了特朗普提名的美联储理事人选米兰，他将于9月16日接受参议院全体投票。由于共和党控制多数席 位，其通过没有任何悬念。 这意味着，米兰或将参与9月17日的FOMC会议， ...
