Fed聲明中主要是闡述這幾點:

1.未推行QE3

2.維持低利率至2013年中

3.承認疲弱的經濟及就業

美股四大指數於Fed聲明公佈後失望性賣壓出籠一陣急殺,殺完後急拉到今天新高,整個聲明與市場的反應來看,衰退已在預期,這段時間大跌已初步反映未來一到兩季以上的衰退,往好的地方來思考,Fed承認經濟很糟,也會關注市場情況做必要的處置,但沒推QE3也許表示還沒到非常糟糕的狀況,或是只能做不能說(跟8/9台股拉抬一樣)

 

 

(用google翻譯,看文忍耐一下)

 

以下是該聲明全文如下美聯儲的八月會議:

收到的資料,因為聯邦公開市場委員會在六月舉行的經濟增長表明,今年到目前為止已大大慢於該委員會的預期。指標顯示,整體惡化的勞工市場情況在最近幾個月,失業率上升。家庭支出已夷為平地了,非住宅投資結構仍然薄弱,住房部門仍然低迷。然而,企業設備投資和軟件的不斷擴大。臨時因素,包括阻尼效應較高的食品和能源價格對消費者的購買力和消費以及供應鏈中斷與日本的悲慘事件,似乎只佔一些近期疲軟的經濟活動。通貨膨脹率回升在今年早些時候,主要反映一些價格較高的商品和進口商品,以及供應鏈中斷。最近,隨著價格通脹放緩能源和一些商品已經下降到了先前的高峰。較長期的通脹預期保持穩定。

符合其法定職責,該委員會旨在促進充分就業和價格穩定。該委員會目前預計復甦步伐有所放緩在未來幾個季度相比,沒有在時間前面的會議,並預計,失業率將下降才逐漸走向各級委員會的法官是一致的,其雙重任務。此外,下行風險的經濟前景有所增加。該委員會還預計,通脹將解決,在未來幾個季度,在水平或以下的符合委員會的雙重任務的影響過去的能源和其他商品價格上漲進一步消散。然而,委員會將繼續密切關注通貨膨脹的演變和通脹預期。

為促進經濟持續復甦,並幫助確保通貨膨脹,隨著時間的推移,是在水平相一致,其職責,委員會今天決定保留目標範圍的聯邦基金利率在0至1 / 4%。該委員會目前預計,經濟條件,包括低稅率的資源利用率和通脹前景疲弱,中期運行可能保證超低水平的聯邦基金利率至少到2013年年中。該委員會也將維持現有政策的再投資本金從持有證券。委員會將定期檢討的規模和組成,其證券持有並準備適當調整這些持股。

委員會討論了一系列的政策工具來推動一個更強有力的經濟復甦背景下的價格穩定。它會繼續評估經濟前景的光接收信息,並準備採用這些工具,適當的。

投票支持FOMC貨幣政策行動包括:席伯南克,主席;威廉C達德利,副主席;伊麗莎白 A.公爵,查爾斯 L埃文斯;薩拉布魯姆拉斯金;丹尼爾 K. Tarullo;和珍妮特葉倫 L.。

 

投反對票的動作是:理查德W ·費舍爾,納拉亞納 Kocherlakota和查爾斯一普洛瑟,誰寧願繼續來描述經濟狀況的可能性非常低的水平,以保證為聯邦基金利率長時間。

 

The following is the full text of the statement following the Fed’s August meeting:

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June indicates that economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the Committee had expected. Indicators suggest a deterioration in overall labor market conditions in recent months, and the unemployment rate has moved up. Household spending has flattened out, investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector remains depressed. However, business investment in equipment and software continues to expand. Temporary factors, including the damping effect of higher food and energy prices on consumer purchasing power and spending as well as supply chain disruptions associated with the tragic events in Japan, appear to account for only some of the recent weakness in economic activity. Inflation picked up earlier in the year, mainly reflecting higher prices for some commodities and imported goods, as well as the supply chain disruptions. More recently, inflation has moderated as prices of energy and some commodities have declined from their earlier peaks. Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.

Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee now expects a somewhat slower pace of recovery over coming quarters than it did at the time of the previous meeting and anticipates that the unemployment rate will decline only gradually toward levels that the Committee judges to be consistent with its dual mandate. Moreover, downside risks to the economic outlook have increased. The Committee also anticipates that inflation will settle, over coming quarters, at levels at or below those consistent with the Committee’s dual mandate as the effects of past energy and other commodity price increases dissipate further. However, the Committee will continue to pay close attention to the evolution of inflation and inflation expectations.

To promote the ongoing economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with its mandate, the Committee decided today to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent. The Committee currently anticipates that economic conditions–including low rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the medium run–are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013. The Committee also will maintain its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its securities holdings. The Committee will regularly review the size and composition of its securities holdings and is prepared to adjust those holdings as appropriate.

The Committee discussed the range of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability. It will continue to assess the economic outlook in light of incoming information and is prepared to employ these tools as appropriate.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Elizabeth A. Duke; Charles L. Evans; Sarah Bloom Raskin; Daniel K. Tarullo; and Janet L. Yellen.

Voting against the action were: Richard W. Fisher, Narayana Kocherlakota, and Charles I. Plosser, who would have preferred to continue to describe economic conditions as likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate for an extended period.

美聯儲承諾首次以保持其基準利率在歷史最低水平,至少到2013年年中,企圖重振疲弱的復甦之後,全球股市潰敗。

聯邦公開市場委員會討論了一系列的政策工具,加強經濟,並說這是“準備採用這些工具,適當的,”它在一份聲明中說,今天在華盛頓聯邦公開市場委員會的三名成員表示異議,寧願維持承諾維持低利率“延長期”。

美聯儲提供了一個調光器鑑於經濟比它沒有在最後聲明在六月下旬。“經濟增長今年迄今已大大慢於該委員會的預期,”它說。美聯儲還表示,預計“有點慢復甦步伐在未來幾個季度”,並稱“下行風險的經濟前景有所增加。”

Fed to Keep Rates at Record Lows at Least Through Mid-2013

Q

The Federal Reserve pledged for the first time to keep its benchmarkinterest rate at a record low at least through mid-2013 in a bid to revive the flagging recovery after a worldwide stock rout.

The Federal Open Market Committee discussed a range of policy tools to bolster the economy and said it is “prepared to employ these tools as appropriate,” it said in a statement today in Washington. Three members of the FOMC dissented, preferring to maintain the pledge to keep rates low for an “extended period.”

The decision represents the biggest effort since November to spark the U.S. economy and revive confidence while stopping short of initiating a third round of large-scale asset purchases. Chairman Ben S. Bernankeand his colleagues acted after reports showed the economy was slowing and an unprecedented downgrade to the U.S. credit rating sent stocks tumbling from Sydney to New York.

The Fed offered a dimmer view of the economy than it did in the last statement in late June. “Economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the committee had expected,” it said. The Fed also said it expects a “somewhat slower pace of recovery over coming quarters,” adding that “downside risks to the economic outlook have increased.”

The Fed left its target for the federal funds rate in a range of zero to 0.25 percent, where it’s been since December 2008. It said it will maintain its policy of reinvesting maturing securities without saying for how long.

Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Fed, Charles Plosser of Philadelphia and Narayana Kocherlakota of the Minneapolis Fed all dissented.

Stocks Fall

The Fed’s decision came after Standard & Poor’s unprecedented downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on Aug. 5 sent share prices tumbling on concern a global economic slowdown will deepen. Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service affirmed their top grades for U.S. debt.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index tumbled 6.7 percent yesterday in New York, its biggest decline since December 2008. The drop has wiped out all the gains in stocks since Nov. 3, 2010, when the Fed announced it would buy $600 billion of government bonds, its second round of asset purchases.

Treasuries surged yesterday as investors sought the safety of government debt. Yields on 10-year notes fell 22 basis points, or 0.22 percentage point, to 2.32 percent, the least since January 2009.

Europe’s debt woes added to the market turmoil. Central bankers and finance ministers from the Group of Seven nations pledged Aug. 7 to “take all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth.”

European Debt

The next day, the European Central Bank began buying Italian and Spanish bonds in its riskiest attempt yet to battle the continent’s sovereign debt crisis.

While U.S. inflation rates have risen, they are still below the Fed’s informal target range of 1.7 to 2 percent. A measure of consumer-price gains, stripping out food and energy, stood at 1.3 percent for the 12 months ending in June. That’s up from 0.9 percent for the 12 months ending December.

Bernanke told Congress on July 13 that the Fed was prepared to buy more Treasury bonds if the economy appeared in danger of stalling or if the threat of deflation looked like it was going to re-emerge, while repeating his forecast for a pickup in growth in the second half of the year.

Recent economic data have cast doubt on his outlook.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.3 percent annual pace in the second quarter, less than forecast by economists, a July 29 government report showed. The economy almost stalled in the prior quarter, growing at a 0.4 percent pace, the weakest three-month period since the recovery began in June 2009.

Deeper Recession

The same report showed that the recession was about 25 percent deeper than previously estimated, leaving GDP short of its 2007 peak and the economy more vulnerable to another contraction.

Consumers cut spending in June for the first time in almost two years, the Commerce Department said Aug. 2.

“The consumer environment remains very tough,” Michael Polk, chief executive officer of Atlanta-based Newell Rubbermaid Inc., said on a conference call with analysts on July 29. He said a “difficult” U.S. economy was among the reasons the maker of Rubbermaid containers and Sharpie pens had cut its full-year profit and sales forecasts.

Hiring has slowed as employers lost confidence in the recovery. Average monthly payroll gains fell to 72,000 in the three months through July, from 215,000 in the prior three months. The jobless rate fell to 9.1 percent in July from 9.2 percent in June as Americans gave up looking for work.

“When we have the kind of combination of sub-par growth, stubbornly high unemployment and a big debt overhang, you need low interest rates,” Carmen Reinhart, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said on Aug. 5.

The housing market has also been a drag on growth as sliding home prices cut into consumer confidence and wealth.

Sales of existing homes, the largest portion of the housing market, totaled 4.77 million on an annualized basis in June, a 34 percent drop from their pre-recession peak in September 2005.

The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities declined 4.5 percent in May from a year earlier, the most in 18 months, and homeownership at 65.9 percent is at its lowest point since 1998, even as affordability is close to a record high.

“We’re still in a market that is clearly bouncing along the bottom on housing and new construction,” Christopher M. Connor, chief executive officer of Sherwin-Williams Co., said on a July 21 conference call. The Cleveland-based company, the largest U.S. paint maker, also cut its full-year profit forecast because of rising raw material costs.

Manufacturing, which had been one of the few bright spots in the economy, grew in July at its slowest pace in two years, the Institute for Supply Management said on Aug. 1.

The recovery is sputtering just as the existing fiscal stimulus programs expire and the federal government moves toward reducing budget deficits.

The debt deal signed by President Barack Obama on Aug. 2 would cut $2.4 trillion or more off budget deficits over 10 years.

The expiration of current fiscal stimulus programs will slice 1.5 percentage points off economic growth next year, according to economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Deutsche Bank Securities.

Not all companies are suffering. Morton’s Restaurant Group Inc., the Chicago-based operator of 83 upscale steakhouses, said July 28 that second-quarter revenue rose 11 percent, with customers spending more money as business dining and travel increased.
