#美联储利率不变但内部分歧加剧

This is the largest number of dissenting votes at a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting since 1992, highlighting significant divisions within the Fed on interest rate decisions. The decision aligned with market expectations but drew widespread attention.

• Presiden Federal Reserve Cleveland Bess Harker, Presiden Federal Reserve Minneapolis Neel Kashkari, dan Presiden Federal Reserve Dallas Lori Logan meskipun mendukung mempertahankan suku bunga tidak berubah, menentang mencerminkan kecenderungan pelonggaran dalam pernyataan tersebut.
