Federal Reserve officials signaled at their June policy meeting that interest rate cuts are unlikely until they gain greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward the 2 percent target, according to minutes released Wednesday. Participants warned that if inflation stays elevated or rises, additional rate hikes could be needed, even though tighter policy risks worsening household finances, particularly for lower-income families, and could push unemployment higher than previously forecast. Officials noted that a now-normalizing labor market may translate weaker demand more into job losses than reduced vacancies. They also stressed that policy must remain flexible to address any unexpected economic weakness.
