According to the minutes of the September monetary policy meeting released by the US Federal Reserve on the 7th, most Fed officials believe that “it may be appropriate” for the Fed to raise the benchmark interest rate again before the end of this year, but the decision to raise interest rates will rely on new market information and an assessment of overall risk. The minutes showed that although Federal Reserve officials agreed to raise interest rates, there were differences in considering the reasons for the rate hike. Some participating officials said that interest rate hikes will help stop the rise in industry prices caused by shocks in the energy market and demand related to artificial intelligence, and reduce inflationary pressure. Some participating officials also said that current interest rates are not binding or are only moderately binding, and interest rates should be adjusted in a timely manner to suit market conditions. Federal Reserve officials attending the meeting generally expect inflation to remain high in the near future, and believe that the risk of rising inflation still exists. According to the minutes, participating officials discussed topics such as potential factors leading to the recent rise in long-term treasury bond yields.
