CAMBRIDGE – Janet Yellen’s speech on September 24 at the University of Massachusetts clearly indicated that she and the majority of the members of the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee intend to raise the short-term interest rate by the end of 2015. It was particularly important that she explicitly included her own view, unlike when she spoke on behalf of the entire FOMC after its September meeting.
美国剑桥—9月24日耶伦在马萨诸塞州大学发表的讲话清楚地表明，她和美联储联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）大部分成员倾向于在2015年底提高短期利率。尤其重要的是，她明确包括了她自己的观点，这与她在FOMC9月会议后代表全体成员的讲话不同。尽管如此，由于美联储最近频繁修正其政策立场，市场对今年会否升息仍抱怀疑态度。
