The economy is strong overall and has made significant progress toward our goals over the past two years. The labor market has cooled from its formerly overheated state and remains solid. Inflation has moved much closer to our 2 percent longer-run goal.鮑爾的原文是,美國經濟在過去二年強勁且顯著地朝向我們的目標前進,勞動市場狀態已經從過熱到緩和,但是,仍然強勁,通貨膨脹大幅靠近我們長期2%的目標,民間消費和投資也依然增強。而且,FOMC的委員預期未來幾年,美國經濟成長的中位數是2%。因此,美國的經濟成長、通貨膨脹、勞工市場、投資都沒有太大的問題,市場不理性的過度解讀,股票債券黃金大跌,其實是逢低分批進場的良機,就像兩國論、SARS、新冠疫情期間,勇敢進場買進績優投資標的者,現在,都值回票價了。
