Summary
FOMC meeting minutes show growing disagreement among policymakers about the appropriate pace of rate adjustments.
Minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting reveal a deepening split among committee members about the future path of interest rates, with some advocating for patience while others push for action in response to sticky inflation readings.
The documents show that several participants expressed concern about inflation metrics that have remained above the 2% target longer than initially projected, while others pointed to signs of labor market cooling that could warrant a more accommodative stance.
Markets reacted modestly to the release, with Treasury yields ticking higher as investors recalibrated expectations for the timing and magnitude of future rate moves.
