Main Body
The bank leaders voted on interest rates. Some leaders want to lower the rates. Other leaders say no. They are worried because oil and food prices are going up. This happens because of wars in the Middle East. Many people have jobs now. But if oil stays expensive, people will spend less money. Also, the US government owes too much money. This is a big problem for the future. Soon, Kevin Warsh will be the new boss of the bank. He wants to change how the bank measures prices. The other leaders are ready to talk about these changes.
Conclusion
The bank is waiting and watching. They want to stop high prices and wait for the new boss.
