LONDON – The US Federal Reserve’s decision to delay an increase in interest rates should have come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s comments. The Fed’s decision merely confirmed that it is not indifferent to international financial stress, and that its risk-management approach remains strongly biased in favor of “lower for longer.”
发自伦敦——美联储推迟提高利率的决定对于一直关注该机构主席珍娜·耶伦（Janet Yellen）言论的人来说不足为奇。这一决定只不过是确认了美联储并非对国际金融压力无动于衷，而且其风险管理手段仍然坚定倾向于“更低、更长期”的方针。那么，为什么市场和媒体表现的就像美联储的动作（或者更精确地说，不作为）是意料之外呢？
