US Fed meeting minutes
The minutes of the US Federal Reserve’s meeting held last month were released three weeks later on February 18. This is usually a detailed record of a previous monetary-policy meeting. US Federal Reserve officials have already indicated that there will be no change in interest rates in the coming time. Most of them believed that before cutting interest rates, more attention would have to be paid to the trend of inflation – this process could take months.
In the meeting of 27-28 January, two officials were seen opposing the decision to keep the interest rates stable. The minutes of the meeting revealed that other officials remained neutral considering the possibility of rate cut or rate increase as equal.
