At their meeting last month,
a majority of Federal Reserve officials expected they would be able to resume interest rate cuts this year,
but only two of them voiced support for a rate cut as soon as this month.

released today with a customary three-week lag.
Officials who believed lower rates would be appropriate later this year thought those moves could be justified by a weaker labor market or more modest and temporary inflation pressures from tariffs.

A divide among Fed officials is just one of the factors putting Fed Chair Jerome Powell in a tight spot.
