Members expected that economic conditions would evolve in a manner that
would warrant further gradual increases in the federal funds rate. They
judged that a gradual approach to raising the target range would sustain the
economic expansion and balance the risks to the outlook for inflation and
unemployment. Members agreed that the strengthening in the near-term
economic outlook increased the likelihood that a gradual upward trajectory
of the federal funds rate would be appropriate. They therefore agreed to
update the characterization of their expectation for the evolution of the
federal funds rate in the postmeeting statement to point to "further gradual
increases" while maintaining the target range at the current meeting.
