家园 【原创】新闻:联储上调 discount rate

给上次写的铁手:【原创】Bernanke 是否会续任一届美联储主席?作个记号。

美联储在2月18日周四股市收盘后,颇为出人意料的发布公告 http://federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20100218a.htm

to increase the primary credit rate (generally referred to as the discount rate) from 1/2 percent to 3/4 percent. This action is effective on February 19.

In addition, the Board announced that, effective on March 18, the typical maximum maturity for primary credit loans will be shortened to overnight. Primary credit is provided by Reserve Banks on a fully secured basis to depository institutions that are in generally sound condition as a backup source of funds. Finally, the Board announced that it had raised the minimum bid rate for the Term Auction Facility (TAF) by 1/4 percentage point to 1/2 percent. The final TAF auction will be on March 8, 2010.

但是称:

The modifications are not expected to lead to tighter financial conditions for households and businesses and do not signal any change in the outlook for the economy or for monetary policy

为什么不是在3月份实施,导致很多猜测。

香港股市跌 2.59%

日本股市跌 2.05%
