【英语财经】美联储暂缓加息引发美股剧烈波动 Stocks temporarily juiced by Yellen slip lower

It was a rocky final two hours of trade in US markets on Thursday.

Policymakers at the Federal Reserve chose to stay their hand, maintaining their 0 to 0.25 per cent target range for the federal funds rate, at their much-awaited September meeting.

Equity markets had trouble making heads or tails of the news. The major indices briefly sold-off after the statement, bounced back, extended their rally as Fed chair Janet Yellen began her press conference, only to turn south by the close.

The S&P 500 slid 0.3 per cent to 1,990.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.4 per cent to 16,674.68. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1 per cent to 4,893.95.

8bn shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, roughly 6 per cent above the 30-day average

周四，美国股市最后两个小时可谓跌宕起伏。

在期待已久的美联储(Fed)9月议息会议上，美联储决策者选择按兵不动，将联邦基金利率的目标范围维持在0%到0.25%区间不变。

股市却难以判定这一消息的吉凶。主要股指曾在该声明发布后出现短时间抛售又随即反弹，在美联储主席珍妮特?耶伦(Janet Yellen)启动新闻发布会时扩大了涨势，却又掉头以下跌收盘。

标普500(S&P 500)指数下滑0.3%至1990.20点。道琼斯工业平均指数(Dow Jones Industrial Average)下跌0.4%至16674.68点。纳斯达克综合指数(Nasdaq Composite)攀升0.1%至4893.95点。

在纽约证交所(New York Stock Exchange)、纳斯达克(Nasdaq)及纽交所MKT市场(NYSE MKT)，80亿股票易手，比30天平均值高了大约6%。
