A slew of Federal Reserve officials emphasized that there is no urgency to lower interest rates, pointing to still-elevated inflation and a robust labor market.

多名聯邦儲備（銀行）官員強調，沒有降息的急迫性，他們提及仍居高不下的通膨，以及穩健的勞動市場。

That included comments from both the Boston Fed’s Susan Collins as well as San Francisco’s Mary Daly. Atlanta’s Raphael Bostic repeated his view for one rate cut toward the end of the year, and Kansas City’s Jeffrey Schmid noted he prefers a “patient” approach to reductions.

做出這些評論的包括波士頓聯邦儲備銀行的科林斯，與舊金山的達利。亞特蘭大的波斯提克重申今年底降息1次的觀點，堪薩斯城的施密德則提到他偏向「耐心」的降息方式。

“There’s absolutely, in my mind, no urgency to adjust the policy rate,” Daly said at an event in San Francisco.

「在我看來，絕對沒有調整政策利率的急迫性」，達利在舊金山一場活動上說。

Schmid also said policymakers should wait for “clear and convincing” evidence that inflation is headed back toward 2% before lowering interest rates, rather than adjusting policy preemptively.

施密德也表示，決策者應等待「明確且令人信服」的證據，顯示降息之前，通膨朝著2％回落，而非搶先調整政策。
