Nov. 3.91

FED CLOSE-UP
The Federal Reserve delivers the minutes from its most recent interest rate policy meeting Wednesday.
At that meeting, Fed officials emphasized that inflation has remained stubbornly high in recent months and said the central bank doesn’t plan to cut interest rates until it has greater confidence that price increases are slowing sustainably to its 2% target. Several hotter-than-expected reports on prices and economic growth have recently undercut the Fed’s belief that inflation was steadily easing.
