🚨 July FOMC minutes are out — and they look more hawkish than the 9–3 vote suggests.

📌 Several officials favored a 25bp hike at the July meeting

📈 Many said more tightening could be needed if inflation stays elevated

🏦 The Fed is preparing for broader discussions on balance-sheet policy

🔄 Warsh is pushing to move from 8 to 6 FOMC meetings per year

🤖 AI investment is increasingly showing up in the inflation debate

Bottom line: This is not a Fed that looks comfortably done with hikes. ⚠️

The minutes are backward-looking, but the internal debate matters. If inflation remains sticky, the bar for renewed tightening could be lower than markets expect.

🎯 The big question now: Will incoming data validate the hawks — or make these minutes look stale?
