A slew of Federal Reserve officials emphasized that there is no urgency to lower interest rates, pointing to still-elevated inflation and a robust labor market.
多名联邦储备（银行）官员强调，没有降息的急迫性，他们提及仍居高不下的通膨，以及稳健的劳动市场。
That included comments from both the Boston Fed’s Susan Collins as well as San Francisco’s Mary Daly. Atlanta’s Raphael Bostic repeated his view for one rate cut toward the end of the year, and Kansas City’s Jeffrey Schmid noted he prefers a “patient” approach to reductions.
做出这些评论的包括波士顿联邦储备银行的科林斯，与旧金山的达利。亚特兰大的波斯提克重申今年底降息1次的观点，堪萨斯城的施密德则提到他偏向「耐心」的降息方式。
“There’s absolutely, in my mind, no urgency to adjust the policy rate,” Daly said at an event in San Francisco.
「在我看来，绝对没有调整政策利率的急迫性」，达利在旧金山一场活动上说。
Schmid also said policymakers should wait for “clear and convincing” evidence that inflation is headed back toward 2% before lowering interest rates, rather than adjusting policy preemptively.
施密德也表示，决策者应等待「明确且令人信服」的证据，显示降息之前，通膨朝着2％回落，而非抢先调整政策。
