BlockBeats 消息，12 月 18 日，北京时间周四凌晨 3 时，美联储将公布年内最后一次利率决议。根据期货合约，市场普遍预计美联储本周将把基准利率再次下调 25 个基点。此举将使联邦基金利率达到 4.25% 至 4.5% 的目标区间，比 9 月份开始降息时低了整整一个百分点。
纽约梅隆银行（BNY Mellon）首席经济学家、美联储货币事务部前主任文森特·莱因哈特（Vincent Reinhart）认为，“显然美联储陷入了困境。对于官员们来说，除非他们非常确定政治经济会发生哪些变化，否则他们无法真正改变自己的预测，以应对他们这些变化。在新闻发布会上，人们最关心的是跳过降息的想法。所以我认为，在这方面，这将是一次鹰派降息。（只有）随着（特朗普的）政策实际到位，美联储可能会进一步更新预测。”（金十）
