Fed officials divided over additional interest rate hikes, meeting minutes show

Federal Reserve officials are split over whether to pause their aggressive interest-rate hike campaign at the June policy-setting meeting, minutes showed.

Federal Reserve officials were split at their meeting earlier in May on whether additional interest rate hikes are needed to lower chronically high inflation, according to minutes released Wednesday.

"Several participants noted that if the economy evolved along the lines of their current outlooks, then further policy firming after this meeting may not be necessary," minutes from the U.S. central bank's May 2-3 meeting said.

At the same time, "some" policymakers noted that chronic inflation means "additional policy firming would likely be warranted at future meetings."
