Market jumped: The Federal Reserve struggled last month over how to convey to investors how fast it will raise short-term interest rates once it increases them from record lows.
The Fed held a previously unannounced March 4 videoconference to debate the issue in advance of its regular March 18-19 meeting, according to minutes of the meeting released Wednesday.
In the end, the Fed decided on an open-ended approach: That even after employment and inflation are nearly back to normal levels, short-term rates may need to stay unusually low for a while because the economy isn’t fully healthy.
