April Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes showed that most participants emphasized further policy tightening may become appropriate if inflation continues above the 2% target.

The size and interest rates of U.S. national debt determine that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to truly raise interest rates, but will continuously reinforce expectations of rate hikes, which is a show of bravado.
