US Fed chief says recession is ‘certainly a possibility’
美联储主席鲍威尔：美国经济有可能陷入衰退

When asked whether raising interest rates too much and too fast could tip the economy into a recession on Wednesday, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said it's a possibility. "It's not our intended outcome at all, but it's certainly a possibility." 
6月22日，当被议员问及加息过多、过快是否可能导致经济衰退时，鲍威尔表示，“这不是美联储想要的结果，但确实有这种可能性”。

With inflation well above the Fed's longer-term goal of 2 percent and an extremely tight labor market, the Fed raised the target range for the federal funds rate at each of the past three meetings. Last week, the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points, marking the sharpest rate hike since 1994.
由于通胀率远高于2%的长期目标，且劳动力市场严重供不应求，美联储在过去三次货币政策例会上都进行了加息。上周美联储宣布加息75个基点，为1994年以来单次最大幅度的加息。
