'Many' officials wondered if rates were high enough to dampen demand

 

Federal Reserve officials indicated a willingness to raise interest rates again if inflation didn't cool off further, according to minutes of the April May meeting released Wednesday.

 

"Various participants mentioned a willingness to tighten policy further should risks to inflation materialize in a way that such an action became appropriate," the minutes said.

 

The Fed released a summary of their April 30-May 1 closed-door discussion three weeks after the meeting.
