Federal Reserve Conference minutes: All officials supported the maintenance of interest rates in June

ON 9 JULY, THE MINUTES OF THE FED MEETING INDICATED THAT MOST OFFICIALS INDICATED THAT INFLATION MIGHT REMAIN HIGH DUE TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-RELATED NEEDS, CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST OR TARIFFS. IN THAT CONTEXT, ALMOST ALL PARTICIPANTS INDICATED THAT SOME POLICY TIGHTENING MEASURES MIGHT BE REQUIRED. OFFICIALS WERE IN FAVOUR OF MAINTAINING THE CURRENT INTEREST RATE BETWEEN TARGET ZONES. SOME OFFICIALS CONSIDERED THE INCREASE NECESSARY, BUT EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR MAINTAINING THE CURRENT INTEREST RATE RANGE AT THE CURRENT MEETING. A FEW PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT THERE WAS A REASON FOR AN INCREASE IN THE JUNE FOMC MEETING。
