原文网址:http://goo.gl/tF86tr
Federal Reserve officials will look past low inflation and stay focused on
raising interest rates around mid-year as they meet this week, according to a
narrow majority of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
根据彭博社向少数的经济学家的调查结果,预测美联准可能会在2015年中升息。
Some 45 percent of 53 economists in the survey said the central bank will raise
the benchmark lending rate in June. Six percent said July, while 30 percent
said the Fed will wait until September for the first increase since 2006. Fed
officials last month said they expect to raise the rate this year.
总受访的53人中有45%预测6月升息,6%预测7月,有30%的人则是预测9月才会升息。美联准
于上月表示预计今年升息。
“The economy is increasingly showing signs that it is no longer in crisis mode
,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York, who is
forecasting a June increase. “Low inflation is mainly an oil-price story”
and that “will be good for the U.S. economy.”
RDQ Economics的首席经济学家表示美国已慢慢地脱离经济萧条,目前大家所看到的低通
膨率不过是受油价暴跌的暂时影响罢了,低油价对美国的经济有助益,预测美联准将于6月
升息。
