Federal Reserve officials set plans into motion at their most recent meeting
to begin raising interest rates and shed the trillions of dollars in bonds on
the central bank balance sheet, according to minutes released Wednesday.

根據週三公佈的會議記錄，美聯儲(Federal Reserve)官員在最近的一次會議上啟動了提
高利率的計畫，並剝離了央行資產負債表上的數萬億美元債券。

Officials at the meeting expressed concerns over financial stability, saying
that loose monetary policy could be posing a substantial risk.

與會官員對金融穩定表示擔憂，稱寬鬆的貨幣政策可能構成重大風險。

The policymaking Federal Open Market Committee decided after the two-day
session that it would not raise interest rates yet but strongly indicated a
hike is on the way as soon as March.

fomc在為期兩天的會議後決定暫不加息，但強烈暗示最早在3月份就會加息。

In addition, the committee set out procedures for how it will start unwinding
its nearly $9 trillion balance sheet, which consists largely of bonds it has
purchased in an effort to drive down rates and stimulate growth.

此外，該委員會還制定了如何開始縮減近9萬億美元資產負債表的計畫，這些資產主要
是為了壓低利率和刺激經濟增長而購買的債券。

Since the meeting, fresh inflation readings have shown prices rising at the
fastest pace in 40 years. The Fed targets inflation to average around 2%, and
officials have conceded that policy needs to get tighter to bring prices down.

自會議以來，新的通脹資料顯示，物價以40年來最快的速度上漲。美聯儲的目標通貨膨脹
率平均在2% 左右，官員們已經承認政策需要更加緊縮以降低物價。






意外也不意外,
不意外的是採取溫和手段,意外的是沒想到居然是無碼.
越晚決定越讓升息壓力提高,只怕第一次升息會是嚇人的數字
