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.
