美联储利率

We said borrowing rates weren´t likely to go up all that much. The spread between credit card rates and the Fed´s interest rate was already quite large.

我们曾说，借款利率不会上涨太多，因为信用卡利息与美联储利率之间的利差已经很大了。

Frederic Mishkin, a member of the Fed´s rate-setting committee, argued this week that fighting recession and curbing inflation are not conflicting objectives.

美联储利率制定委员会的成员费德雷克。米什金这周提出主张，对抗衰退和遏制通胀是两个不冲突的目标。

With consumer prices up 3.8 percent in the 12 months through August, you might think the Federal Reserve´s rate-setting committee would be taking stern action to lower inflation.

当消费者价格指数8月份增长3。8%的时候，你或许会觉得美联储利率制定委员会会采取严厉的措施来降低通胀。

Enough inflation apparently lurks in the American economy for traders to expect another quarter-point rise when the Fed´s rate-setters meet on August 8th.

对于交易者们来说足够多的通胀因素潜藏在美国经济中，使得他们期待8月8日美联储利率制定会议后又一个25个基点的升息。

This is thanks in part to Jeffrey Lacker, the President of the Richmond Federal Reserve, who will be a voting member of the Fed´s rate-setting body next year.

这都多亏了美国里奇蒙联储总裁拉克尔（Jeffrey Lacker）。拉克尔是美国里奇蒙联储总裁，明年他将成为美联储利率设定机构的成员。
