-
Fed officials noted heightened economic uncertainty, primarily due to potential tariffs. They emphasized a "wait-and-see" approach to evaluate the impact of trade policies.
-
Concerns were raised about persistent inflation exceeding the Fed's 2% target. The risk of higher inflation, potentially worsened by tariffs, supports the Fed's cautious stance.
-
Despite increased risks of economic slowdown, the economy continues to expand at a solid pace, demonstrating resilience.
-
The Fed is prepared to keep rates "higher for longer" if inflation persists. However, if unemployment rises, they are ready to shift toward easing rates which are currently in the high 6% range.
