Greg was all over the Federal Open Market Committee minutes, post here:

I posted a response here:

Remarks now via Westpac, this in brief:

  • minutes... showed there was widespread agreement that the recent dip in PCE inflation was likely "transitory"
  • commitment to a patient approach remains strong
  • stance likely to be appropriate "for some time" even if global conditions continued to improve

Westpac add on some of the comments from the Fed officials:

  • generally espoused a patient and balanced stance
  • Williams noted that he doesn't see any strong arguments to move interest rates, "one way or the other"
  • Rosengren... sees, "no clarion call," to raise interest rates any time soon
  • Bullard didn't rule out a cut later this year if inflation continued to disappoint
