纽约（美国有线电视新闻网）美联储将更快地结束其大流行时期的刺激计划，并预计 2022 年的加息幅度将超过 9 月份的预期。
央行于 11 月首次宣布将“缩减”每月的资产购买，周三表示将加快步伐。
从 1 月开始，美联储将减少购买价值 200 亿美元的美国国债，减少购买价值 100 亿美元的抵押贷款支持证券。这使得美国国债的每月购物清单为 400 亿美元，抵押贷款支持证券为 200 亿美元。
这与美联储主席杰罗姆鲍威尔在 11 月底告诉国会的内容一致。
周三的声明中写道：“委员会认为，每个月都可能适当降低净资产购买速度，但如果经济前景发生变化，它准备调整购买速度。”
12 月的政策会议还包括一份经济预测摘要，即所谓的“点阵图”。
美联储官员现在预测，美联储的基准利率将在 2022 年升至 0.9%，高于 9 月份的 0.3% 预期，表明将进一步加息。
对于投资者和市场观察者来说，这预示着明年将加息三次。根据 CME FedWatch 工具，到目前为止，市场对 5 月份加息的预期正在升温。
The Fed hints at multiple rate hikes in 2022 to combat inflation
New York (CNN Business)The Federal Reserve will wrap up its pandemic-era stimulus program faster and expects to raise interest rates more in 2022 than projected in September.
The central bank, which first announced in November that it was "tapering" its monthly asset purchases, said Wednesday that it will do so at a faster pace.
Starting in January, the Fed will buy $20 billion worth of Treasury securities less and $10 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities less. That leaves the monthly shopping list at $40 billion for Treasury securities and $20 billion for mortgage-backed securities.
This is consistent with what Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told Congress in late November.
"The Committee judges that similar reductions in the pace of net asset purchases will likely be appropriate each month, but it is prepared to adjust the pace of purchases if warranted by changes in the economic outlook," Wednesday's statement read.
The December policy meeting also included a summary of economic projections, the so-called "dot plot."
Fed officials now predict the central bank's benchmark interest rate to rise to 0.9% in 2022, up from the 0.3% expectation from September, signaling additional interest hikes.
To investors and market watchers, this signals three rate hikes next year. So far, market expectations for an interest rate increase are picking up in May, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
