<p>越來越多的美聯儲官員表示支持下個月降息，此前特朗普總統對美聯儲最近決定維持利率不變提出了批評。美聯儲理事克里斯托弗·沃勒和副主席米歇爾·鮑曼表示，他們支持降息，以防止潛在的就業市場問題。特朗普呼籲大幅降息，而鮑威爾則捍衞謹慎的做法，以維持通脹穩定。隨着一些官員與特朗普在降低利率的必要性上達成一致，辯論仍在繼續</p>

<li>The Fed kept rates steady last week, inviting more criticism from Trump and the administration.</li>
<li>But since then, a chorus of top officials says they think rate cuts are warranted.</li>
<li>&#34;If the dirt is out of the air, then I think we should proceed,&#34; one official said this week.</li>

</div><p>&#34;We will be paying for his incompetence for many years to come,&#34; he stated, adding that he believes rates should be &#34;at least two to three points lower.&#34; Vice President JD Vance has also joined the debate, accusing the Fed of &#34;monetary malpractice&#34; by not cutting.</p>

</div><p>&#34;The FOMC's obligation is to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one-time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem. As we act to meet that obligation, we will balance our maximum-employment and price-stability mandates.&#34;</p>
