Unanimous Decision To Raise Rates In May Meeting

The Fed minutes showed that there was a widespread consensus in the board about raising interest rates. However, the committee felt there was a lot of uncertainty about rate hikes in further meetings. Hence, the FOMC said it would continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook.

“(The committee) would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the committee’s goals.”
