"A substantial majority of participants supported lowering the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 4-3/4 to 5 percent," the minutes read.
Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic spoke upbeat about the economy overall Tuesday night. Still, he said Tuesday that he is monitoring high storms in his district that could harm economic activity.
