⭐️ 聯準會緊急降息趨近 0 並將重啟購債計劃 ⭐️
Fed Cuts Rates to Near Zero and Will Relaunch Bond-Buying Program
The Federal Reserve（聯準會）slashed（砍）its benchmark interest rate（基準利率）to near zero Sunday and said it would buy $700 billion in Treasury（國庫）and mortgage-backed securities（抵押貸款所支持的證券）in an urgent response to the new coronavirus pandemic.
美國聯準會將基準利率調到近乎 0 並宣佈將購買 7 千億美元的美國國債與抵押貸款支持證券，以應對新冠病毒全球傳染
👨🏻🏫 浩爾商英教室：降息是各國央行常見提升市場資金流動率的作法，此次顯然是為阻止美股崩盤之勢，且搭配許多措施，應該是量化寬鬆（QE）的前兆。其實在此之前，加拿大、日本、英國和歐洲央行都已率先降息並延長貸款期限
The Fed’s rate-setting committee delivered an unprecedented（前所未見的）second emergency rate cut（緊急利率調降）in as many weeks.
聯準會罕見祭出近幾週內二度緊急調降利率
The Fed, in a series of statements, said it would cut the federal-funds（聯邦基金）rate to a range between 0% and 0.25%, down 1 percentage point, and would buy $700 billion in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, among other actions.
聯準會在一系列聲明中表示，將把聯邦基金利率下調 1 個百分點，至 0 % - 0.25 % 區間，並將購買 7 千億美元的美國國債與抵押貸款支持證券，還將採取其他行動
“We have responded very strongly not just with interest rates but also with liquidity measures today,” Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said during a press conference Sunday evening, shortly before Asian markets opened.
「我們不僅在利率上有強勢回應，還有流動資金措施」聯準會主席傑洛姆鮑爾在美國時間週日晚間的記者會發言，亦即亞洲股市開市不久前
