Minutes Show from FED

佢唔係唔想減息呀嗎.....

Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve policy makers put aside concerns
about the rising cost of credit at their Aug. 7 meeting because they weren't
convinced a slowdown in inflation would last, according to minutes of the
session.

Ten days before the central bank was forced to cut a key interest rate, the
Federal Open Market Committee was given lower growth forecasts by staff
economists and noted that ``strains in financial markets'' jeopardized the
expansion. Further turmoil might require a response, Fed officials said

``Mortgage loans remained readily available to most potential borrowers,''
and the ``supply of credit to finance real investment did not appear
significantly diminished,'' the Fed said in the minutes. ``Members expected
a return to more normal market conditions, but recognized that the process
likely would take some time.''
