Amid broad debate about reasons behind low inflation, many Fed policymakers at sept. 19-20 meeting felt another rate increase was likely warranted this year - FOMC minutes

  • Many participants expected wage growth to accelerate

  • Despite general agreement the economy was on track, many participants were concerned that low inflation might persist and require 'patience' in tightening policy

  • A few policymakers thought any further rate increases should be deferred until information 'confirmed' low inflation would not persist

  • Several participants said further rate increases should depend on incoming data boosting confidence inflation moving higher

  • A few participants argued that inflation was slow to respond to a tightening economy, and was at risk of moving faster than expected

  • Some policymakers were open to the possibility of a permanent 'secular' slowdown in inflation due to technology and other factors

  • Several participants said they were concerned trend inflation was too low, risking an eventual decline in inflation expectations and damaging Fed credibility
