Inflation, having calmed substantially, is still being eyed warily by the Federal Reserve, which began steeply raising interest rates in 2022 to combat price increases.

US Federal Reserve officials raised concerns in December that the fight against inflation may have "stalled" in recent months, and weighed the likely impact of Trump's trade policies, according to minutes of the meeting published Wednesday.
