Fed minutes: some ready to ease if recovery lags


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some Federal Reserve officials are ready to provide more monetary policy easing if the recovery is too sluggish to cut the lofty unemployment rate and if inflation eases as expected, minutes of their June meeting released on Tuesday show.

    Others disagreed and said that if recent increases in inflation do not moderate, the Fed should consider tightening policy sooner than expected.
