據彭博社報導，美國財政部長 Scott Bessent 表示，聯邦準備理事會（Fed）應考慮在 9 月 16 至 17 日的會議上實施 50 個基點的降息。其理由是最新修正數據顯示，5 月和 6 月的就業增長弱於此前公佈的數字，而最新通脹數據也未如預期般因關稅推動商品價格上漲。他希望總統 Donald Trump 提名的聯準會理事候選人 Stephen Miran 能在會議前獲參議院確認，並稱該任命將改變聯準會的組成。  

According to Bloomberg, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Federal Reserve should consider implementing a 50-basis-point interest rate cut at its meeting on September 16-17. The reason is that the latest revised data shows that job growth in May and June was weaker than previously reported figures, while the latest inflation data also did not see commodity prices rise as expected due to tariffs. He hopes that Stephen Miran, the Federal Reserve Board candidate nominated by President Donald Trump, can be confirmed by the Senate before the meeting, adding that the appointment will change the composition of the Federal Reserve.
