　　最近的指标显示，经济活动继续以稳健的速度扩张。自年初以来，劳动市场状况总体上有所缓和，失业率有所上升，但仍保持在低位。
　　通胀在朝着委员会2%的目标取得了进展，但仍然处于相对较高的水平。委员会旨在实现长期的就业最大化和2%的通胀目标。委员会判断，实现其就业和通胀目标的风险基本平衡。经济前景仍具不确定性，委员会关注其双重任务面临的双向风险。
　　为了支持其目标，委员会决定将联邦基金利率的目标区间下调25个基点至4.25%至4.50%。在考虑联邦基金利率目标区间进一步调整的幅度和时机时，委员会将仔细评估新发布的数据、不断变化的前景以及风险平衡。委员会将继续减少国债、机构债和机构抵贷款支持证券的持有量。委员会坚定致力于支持最大就业，并将通胀率恢复至2%的目标。
　　在评估货币政策的适当立场时，委员会将继续监测未来的信息对经济前景的影响。如果出现可能妨碍实现委员会目标的风险，委员会将准备适当调整货币政策立场。委员会的评估将考虑广泛的信息，包括劳动市场状况、通胀压力和通胀预期，以及金融和国际发展情况。
　　投票赞成货币政策决议的委员包括：FOMC主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔；FOMC副主席威廉姆斯；里奇蒙德联储主席巴尔金；美联储理事巴尔；亚特兰大联储主席博斯蒂克；美联储理事鲍曼；美联储理事丽莎·库克；旧金山联储主席戴利；美联储副主席杰斐逊；美联储理事库格勒；美联储理事沃勒。
　　投票反对货币政策决议的委员包括：克利夫兰联储主席哈马克，她支持将联邦基金利率的目标区间维持在4.5%至4.5%不变。

　　Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace. Since earlier in the year, labor market conditions have generally eased, and the unemployment rate has moved up but remains low. Inflation has made progress toward the Committee''s 2 percent objective but remains somewhat elevated.
　　The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance. The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.
　　In support of its goals, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
　　In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee''s goals. The Committee''s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.
　　Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Thomas I. Barkin; Michael S. Barr; Raphael W. Bostic; Michelle W. Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Mary C. Daly; Philip N. Jefferson; Adriana D. Kugler; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against the action was Beth M. Hammack, who preferred to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 percent.
