[Russian Foreign Minister: Russia and the US Agree to Establish Bilateral Economic Working Group to Discuss Trade and Economic Issues Separately] The Russian Foreign Ministry released a transcript of an interview with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the 18th. In the interview, Lavrov stated that Russia and the US have agreed to establish a bilateral economic working group to discuss trade and economic issues separately from the Geneva military-political negotiations. Russia hopes to understand the Trump administration's specific definition of "mutually beneficial cooperation." Previously, weeks after the Anchorage meeting, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft, demanded that India stop buying Russian oil, and allowed Venezuela's oil industry to resume operations but prohibited Russia and other countries from participating. Lavrov stated, "If the Americans are sincerely saying that mutually beneficial cooperation will begin after resolving the Ukraine issue, then they are currently trying to squeeze us out of the world energy market."

The minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on January 27-28, released Wednesday, showed that Federal Reserve officials expressed renewed concerns about inflation. Several policymakers hinted that the central bank might need to raise interest rates if inflation persists above target. "Several participants suggested they had intended to support a 'two-way' description of the future path of interest rates to reflect that a rate hike might be appropriate if inflation remains above target," the minutes stated. The minutes also revealed that "the vast majority of participants believed that downside risks to employment had eased in recent months, while inflation was likely to persist." At this meeting, the FOMC voted 10-2 to maintain the benchmark federal funds rate in the 3.5%-3.75% range. Governors Waller and Stephen Milan voted against a 25-basis-point rate cut. Officials removed certain statements from the announcement. The minutes contained wording regarding increased downside risks to employment in the first three statements; they also suggested that some policymakers were less open to further rate cuts, at least in the short term. "Several participants warned that further easing in the context of persistently high inflation could be misinterpreted as policymakers no longer adhering to their commitment to controlling inflation." Several officials believed that further rate cuts might be supported if inflation fell as expected, but most indicated that the pace of inflation improvement might be slower than generally predicted. Since the January meeting, several Fed policymakers have maintained that the overall stable U.S. economy gives them room to be patient with interest rate adjustments, while Trump and other government officials continue to call for an immediate rate cut. Traders have lowered their expectations for the timing of the next rate cut this year, but federal funds futures contracts still indicate that the next rate cut may occur in June.
