- Federal Reserve officials were unanimous in voting to raise rates at their September meeting, according to minutes released afterward.
- The same minutes showed officials anticipating an additional rate hike but giving no timing, while fearing that inflation pressures could spread through the economy.
Why it matters: With the Fed already delivering a unanimous hike and signaling more to come, borrowers and rate-sensitive sectors face continued pressure, but the absence of a timeline keeps the next move uncertain. The flagged risk of spreading inflation suggests officials are in no rush to pivot.
