Fed officials want to delay a rate hike as inflation data approaches

Fed officials want to hold off on raising interest rates this month.

The decision concerns the Fed’s meeting in late October.

A troubling rise in prices could lead officials to raise rates instead.

Inflation data due this week may help shape their decision.

The data matters because it could affect whether the Fed changes rates at the meeting.

Officials’ next step will depend in part on what the inflation figures show.
