When asked whether raising interest rates too much and too fast could tip the economy into a recession on Wednesday, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said it's a possibility. "It's not our intended outcome at all, but it's certainly a possibility."
6月22日，当被议员问及加息过多、过快是否可能导致经济衰退时，鲍威尔表示，“这不是美联储想要的结果，但确实有这种可能性”。
With inflation well above the Fed's longer-term goal of 2 percent and an extremely tight labor market, the Fed raised the target range for the federal funds rate at each of the past three meetings.
由于通胀率远高于2%的长期目标，且劳动力市场严重供不应求，美联储在过去三次货币政策例会上都进行了加息。
Last week, the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points, marking the sharpest rate hike since 1994.
上周美联储宣布加息75个基点，为1994年以来单次最大幅度的加息。
