Fed decision: Why the market is expecting the Fed to raise rates in JulyScroll back up to restore default view.

Some Federal Reserve officials wanted to raise rates by 0.25% last month because they felt the job market was strong, the economy was showing signs of more resiliency, and inflation was not coming down fast enough.

They agreed to a pause anyway.

The details of that debate emerged Wednesday when the Fed released minutes from the June meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed committee that decides on policy.

Despite the reservations of some officials, the ultimate decision to hold rates steady last month was unanimous.

And almost all officials expect more rate increases this year, according to the minutes.

That aligns with recent comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who said last week that there is still a risk of doing too little to bring down inflation.

He said he wouldn't take hiking interest rates at two consecutive policy meetings "off the table," noting that he doesn't see inflation excluding volatile food and energy prices getting back to Fed's 2% target this year or next.
