(一)虽然近期银行业危机没有改变美联储的态度,但鲍威尔也指出近期银行业危机的影响还有待进一步观察,才能决定是否需要通过货币政策的调整为应对(It is too soon to determine the extent of these effects and therefore too soon to tell how monetary policy should respond)。也即欧美银行业危机对美联储货币政策的影响无法立即体现,只有欧美银行业危机持续且产生深远的影响才有可能对美联储货币政策构成约束,改变美联储的态度。
(三)不过本次议息会议继续维持了之前一个很容易被忽略的表述“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”,即让市场纠结的风险因素如果超出预期,则美联储的姿态可能会重新发生变化。
