Lisa D. Cook and Beth M. Hammack dissented, both preferring to raise the target range by a quarter percentage point.\n\nThe statement says \"Inflation remains elevated\" and describes economic activity as \"expanding at a strong pace,\" with resilient domestic spending. It adds that job gains have kept pace with the workforce and the unemployment rate has changed little. The Fed is also continuing to maintain ample reserves in the banking system.\n\nThe two dissents in favor of tightening signal that part of the committee sees inflation risks as outweighing a pause. The committee said further information will help it set a stance that returns inflation to its 2 percent goal in a timely way."}}
