Shiba Inu (SHIB), Cardano (ADA), XRP, and various other altcoins experienced a surge in value during a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, before partially retracing their gains.
柴犬 (SHIB)、卡尔达诺 (ADA)、XRP 和其他各种山寨币在美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的讲话中经历了价值飙升,然后部分回吐了涨幅。
Powell allayed market concerns about "stagflation," a scenario combining slow economic growth with high inflation, stating that he did not perceive "the stag or the flation."
鲍威尔缓解了市场对“滞胀”的担忧,“滞胀”是一种经济增长缓慢与高通胀相结合的情况,并表示他没有看到“滞胀或通货膨胀”。
Prior to the speech, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon had raised concerns about stagflation, suggesting that the US economy could be reverting to conditions similar to the 1970s.
在演讲之前,摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙 (Jamie Dimon) 曾对滞胀表示担忧,暗示美国经济可能会回到 20 世纪 70 年代的状况。
Following Powell's remarks, American businessman and investor Jeffrey Gundlach expressed his anticipation of a single rate cut in the current year, ruling out the possibility of one in June. The Fed Chair himself acknowledged the difficulty in predicting rate changes, but indicated that a rate cut was unlikely to be the next policy move.
鲍威尔发表讲话后,美国商人兼投资者杰弗里·冈拉克(Jeffrey Gundlach)表达了今年单次降息的预期,排除了6月份降息的可能性。美联储主席本人承认预测利率变化存在困难,但表示降息不太可能成为下一个政策举措。
According to Powell, rate cuts could potentially occur sooner than expected if the labor market unexpectedly weakens. However, the decision will ultimately depend on incoming inflation data. Powell emphasized that the Fed is currently content with inflation remaining at 3%. The Fed's objective is to reduce inflation to 2% before initiating rate cuts.
鲍威尔表示,如果劳动力市场意外疲软,降息可能会比预期更早发生。然而,这一决定最终将取决于即将到来的通胀数据。鲍威尔强调,美联储目前对通胀保持在3%感到满意。美联储的目标是在开始降息之前将通胀率降至2%。

加密货币市场受到美联储政策转变的不利影响,比特币录得自 2023 年 8 月以来最差月度表现。美联储此前预计今年至少实施三次降息。
