Barron's: Markets watch Fed meeting notes for clues on timing of rate cuts

Barron's reports that the Federal Reserve has signaled that it is in no hurry to cut interest rates further as inflation continues to rise. Investors will look to the Fed's meeting notes for clues as to how long interest rates can remain at current levels. President Trump's new fiscal policies, namely deregulation, tax cuts, and potential stimulus measures, could boost economic growth, further reducing the need for continued rate cuts. In addition, tariffs and immigration policies could both exacerbate inflation in the short and long term.
