这是10月29日在美国首都华盛顿拍摄的美国联邦储备委员会大楼外景。新华社记者 胡友松摄 北京时间10月30日凌晨，美联储在结束为期两天的货币政策会议后宣布，将联邦基金利率目标区间再次下调 25个基点到3.75%至4.00%之间。这是美联储继9月17日降息25个基点后再次降息，也是自2024年9月以来第五 次降息，符合市场预期。 本次议息会议另一个重要看点是美联储对缩表政策的调整。美联储决定放弃量化紧缩（QT），一个月后结束 缩减资产负债表的计划，这意味着持续三年半的缩表行动即将画上句号。回顾这一进程，美联储于2022年6月 启动缩表，去年6月开始放缓步伐，将美国国债的月度缩表规模从350亿美元降至250亿美元，今年4月进一步 降至50亿美元。美联储主席鲍威尔表示，过去3周货币市场流动性趋于紧张，继续缩表的益处有限，当前银行 储备水平仅略高于充足水平。 与此同时，来自白宫的政治压力也在持续升温。美国总统特朗普近期加大了对美联储的公开批评，不仅指责 鲍威尔行动迟缓，更暗示可能通过人事任命影响美联储决策。有分析指出，这种公开施压可能危及美联储的 独立性，迫使货币政策决策更多地受到政治考量而非经济基本面的影响。 多家 ...
