Что изменилось в публикации FOMC Statement от 18 марта 2026 г.?
Заявление стало умеренно жестче из-за снижения поддержки понижения ставки.
По сравнению с январем изменение умеренно жесткое: за снижение на 25 базисных пунктов теперь выступает лишь один несогласный, а не двое. Новая неопределенность на Ближнем Востоке повышает риск, но не задает направление политики.
