Highly anticipated FOMC minutes release turned out to be a non-event as it did not provided any direct mentions of tapering except this statement: "A number of participants suggested that if the economy continued to make rapid progress toward the Committee's goals, it might be appropriate at some point in upcoming meetings to begin discussing a plan for adjusting the pace of asset purchases". Some participants also commented on the risks of inflation pressures building up to unwelcome levels before they become sufficiently evident to induce a policy reaction. The taper mention is the big thing but 'some participants' only say that it 'might be appropriate' if there was 'rapid progress' towards the Fed's goals.
