A number of Fed policymakers thought that if the economy continued rapid progress, it would become appropriate “at some point” in upcoming meetings to begin discussing a tapering of monetary policy measures. A couple of Fed policymakers raised concerns that inflation will rise to “unwelcome” levels before the case for policy action becomes sufficiently evident. Strong inflation readings and signs of a worker shortage in recent weeks have fueled fears of inflation and roiled stock markets despite reassurances from Fed officials that the rise in prices would be temporary. All 11 major S&P sectors were lower, with energy and materials down 1.7% and 2.4%, respectively, leading declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.75% at 33,804.75 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.52% to 4,106.41. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.21% to 13,275.24.
