Most officials view a September interest rate hike as an "insurance" measure against stubborn inflation; a minority see it as a necessary step to curb inflation. Overall, there is no indication of a desire to push for consecutive rate hikes. The "New Fed News Agency" emphasized the minutes: "Most participants believe that it may be appropriate to raise interest rates again before the end of the year." Nearly all officials believe inflation remains elevated and the labor market is close to full employment. Many noted that, despite the rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, financial conditions are still conducive to economic growth. Some officials believe that AI will boost investment and productivity, but may also contribute to inflation. The minutes revealed that the U.S.-Japan joint intervention in July to support the yen was a U.S. Treasury action, with no Federal Reserve funds used.

Regarding the earlier-than-scheduled release of diesel stocks emphasized in last week's G7 agreement, EU member states consider it feasible, but on a limited scale.
