📊 Weekly Financial Forecast:

According to the meeting minutes, U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers were nearly unanimous last month that the U.S. economy faced risks of simultaneously higher inflation and slower growth. Some policymakers noted that “difficult tradeoffs” could lie ahead for the central bank.
