Happy Friday eve, team. Phil Rosen here. Did you catch yesterday's Fed minutes release? 

It looks like central bank officials unanimously agreed that the last rate hike of 25 basis points was the appropriate size, and that slowing down the pace would "better allow them to assess the economy's progress."

But several participants would have also backed a half-point hike, the minutes showed. 

That tells us we should be taking the Fed at its word: The inflation battle isn't over. 

Good morning, Opening Bell readers. Phil Rosen here. 

It's not because I'm vegan, but I haven't bought eggs in months now. Thanks to inflation, a dozen eggs now costs more than a pound of beef. 

Happy hump day, readers. I'm senior reporter Phil Rosen, writing to you from Manhattan. 

Today we're going over why some of the most astute voices on Wall Street are advising a shift from stocks to bonds — and what we learned yesterday helps explain why.
