___ Fed minutes: Officials cited strong hiring to justify hikes WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve officials suggested at their most recent meeting that a continuing streak of robust hiring could keep inflation elevated and was a key reason why they expected to raise interest rates this year more than they had previously forecast.
AI Summary
Main Idea: The Federal Reserve said strong hiring could keep inflation high, while Europe’s privacy watchdog fined Meta and blocked part of its ad system.
Key Points:
- Fed minutes showed officials expect more rate hikes this year because job growth remains strong and could keep prices rising.
- The minutes also said the smaller half-point rate increase did not mean the Fed was easing its fight against inflation.
- Ireland’s Data Protection Commission fined Meta 390 million euros and banned it from forcing users to accept targeted ads based on online activity.
- The broader business update also included gains in stocks after job data, a settlement between Coinbase and New York regulators, and layoffs at Salesforce.
