Fed’s Bostic still sees a single rate cut this year, amid uncertainty By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said on Thursday that he still thinks the U.S. central bank can cut its interest rate target once this year, while noting there’s a lot of uncertainty around that view as the economy undergoes considerable change. Bostic said the forecast he offered earlier in the year of one rate cut was “kind of still where I am,” speaking before the Metro Atlanta Chamber. But he added “but I would just say, in today’s world, every point estimate or forecast has a wide confidence band around it, and so I’m not stuck on anything.” Bostic said the current federal funds rate target range, now set at between 4.25% and 4.5%, is "marginally restrictive" amid an ongoing debate about whether that rate needs to be cut. Bostic said overall growth this year is likely to be "relatively tepid" before rebounding next year amid more clarity in the business world about the general state of U.S. economic policy. If that happens, "we would be in a position, we being the Fed, to start to bring our policy position back to a more neutral stance." He added that moving firmly along a path is important for monetary policy. "When the [Federal Open Market Committee] moves, I want to move in one direction and not be ratcheting up and then coming back down," Bostic said. "We want to be unidirectional, because sort of the toggling approach historically has caused people to lose confidence in our ability to meet our mandates." Bostic spoke as the world’s top central bankers are heading to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the Kansas City Fed’s annual research conference. The event features a hotly anticipated speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell that could signal openness to cutting rates at the September policy meeting. Fed officials are in a challenging position, facing a slowing labor market at a time when inflation pressures are still above target and may rise further amid the Trump administration’s rapid increase in import taxes. Fed meeting minutes released Wednesday showed officials pointing to potentially difficult policy trade-offs given this economic landscape. Meanwhile, the Fed faces constant and aggressive pressure from Trump and his allies to cut rates. In his remarks, Bostic noted that Fed policy has been oriented to lowering inflation and that progress has been uneven. He noted the job market has seen some issues lately but he needs to see more data to confirm that hiring is truly deteriorating. Bostic said the economic landscape is "very much in a transitional period, and a lot of where I’m trying to position myself is to really be in the pathway of where transition is likely to go."

Fed’s Bostic says tariffs effects may take a year ’to fully play out’ Investing.com -- Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic indicated Thursday that the U.S. economy will likely experience a prolonged period of elevated inflation, suggesting the central bank should maintain its current monetary policy stance. In prepared remarks for an economic conference in Germany, Bostic explained that adjustments to changes in trade policies, other U.S. policies, and geopolitical developments would not result in a simple one-time shift in prices as standard economic models might suggest. "Instead, this increasingly looks like a process that may take a year or more to fully play out," Bostic said. He warned that this extended inflation period could potentially influence consumer psychology and inflation expectations, creating more significant challenges for the Federal Reserve. Bostic noted that new economic data released Thursday showed stronger-than-expected job creation and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.1%, indicating "labor market conditions remain broadly healthy." He added that the job market is not yet showing signs of deterioration that would justify preemptive interest rate cuts. Given the high level of uncertainty surrounding jobs, economic growth, and inflation, Bostic argued that "this is no time for significant shifts in monetary policy." He endorsed the Federal Open Market Committee’s current "wait and see" approach. The Federal Reserve has maintained its policy interest rate unchanged since December, despite calls from President Donald Trump for immediate and substantial rate reductions.

Exclusive-Fed should wait on rate cuts with price hikes expected, Bostic says By Howard Schneider ATLANTA (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve need not cut interest rates with companies planning to raise prices later this year in response to higher import taxes and with the job market still stable, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic told Reuters. "I think we have some space and time" to watch how the tariff and other policy debates evolve, said Bostic in an interview at his office in downtown Atlanta. He sees the Fed only needing to approve a single quarter-point rate cut late in 2025, based on his view that economic growth will fall to perhaps 1.1% this year and inflation returning to nearly 3% by year’s end. Though some Fed officials say rates could fall as soon as July, and U.S. President Donald Trump has been criticizing tight Fed monetary policy, Bostic said the job market shows little sign of fading, while inflation remains a risk. "I’m more concerned about what happens if we don’t get to our 2% mandate. Because of that I’m willing to stay in this restrictive posture for longer just to be absolutely sure," said Bostic, referring to the 4.25% to 4.5% policy interest rate the Fed has maintained since December to contain inflation. "I would see the last quarter (of the year) is sort of when I would expect we would know enough to move." Fed policy will be the focus of congressional hearings this week, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell beginning two days of testimony Tuesday morning before the House Financial Services Committee. Trump has called for immediate rate cuts, but uncertainty around his trade and other policies has pushed the central bank onto a cautious footing that may be further amplified by new risks around the conflict with Iran. After a turbulent few months in which recession risk rose alongside the Trump administration’s plans for historically high import tariffs, then fell as Trump backed off, Bostic said business sentiment has improved recently - something Powell alluded to in a press conference last week. "Business leaders have lowered the probability of the doomsday scenario" in which tariffs and prices skyrocket and demand wanes, Bostic said. Business executives, he said, have told him they are confident about finding strategies to deal with the tariff levels they expect they are most likely to face. Those strategies include raising prices, perhaps in several steps over time, as companies respond to their competitors, negotiate with suppliers and monitor how consumers adapt, he noted. "They tell me ’I’m pretty sure I am going to have to raise my prices. The question is not whether but when,’" Bostic said, citing a major reason he remains reluctant to cut rates until more is known. Bostic’s single anticipated cut this year is less than the two quarter-point cuts at the median of projections issued last week by the Fed’s 19 policymakers. Bostic is not a voter this year on interest rates, but like all Fed officials he participates in Federal Open Market Committee debates about appropriate policy. Since December that has meant holding the benchmark overnight rate steady as the Trump administration moved to reorder global trade by imposing stiff tariffs on imported goods. Some of those levies are already in place, but have yet to significantly affect the pace of price increases that are near but still above the central bank’s 2% target. In recent days, Fed Governors Chris Waller and Michelle Bowman, who is also the U.S. central bank board’s vice chair for supervision, said recent inflation data has been mild enough to justify a rate cut as soon as July. But much remains unknown ahead of a July 9 deadline for the imposition of U.S. tariffs as high as 50% on European Union nations and various levies across much of the rest of the world. "More and more businesses are telling me that in their sector, the strategies that they had to forbear are increasingly running their course," Bostic said. "They have worked but they have run their course and they can’t keep doing it."

Fed’s Bostic sees room for patience amid tariff impact uncertainty Investing.com -- Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic stated on Tuesday that the robust state of the U.S. economy allows the central bank time to assess the impact of tariffs on inflation and growth. Bostic also indicated the possibility of a single interest rate cut later this year, depending on the resolution of current uncertainties. In an essay published by his regional Fed bank, Bostic emphasized the importance of patience in the current economic climate. He stated that the economy is "broadly healthy," allowing room to observe the effects of increased uncertainty on employment and prices. Bostic, in a conference call with reporters, reiterated his March prediction of a single rate cut this year, stating that the decision would depend on how the uncertainty resolves. However, he expressed caution about rate cuts at this point, given that inflation is still above the Fed’s 2% target, and underlying prices are higher than he would prefer. Bostic, who does not have a vote on the Federal Open Market Committee’s rate-setting this year, highlighted the challenges in predicting future interest rate policy due to significant shifts in trade policy. He noted the high level of uncertainty, which makes economic forecasting difficult. The Fed is anticipated to maintain its benchmark interest rate within the 4.25%-4.50% range at the upcoming policy meeting on June 17-18. Officials are keenly observing the economy’s response to the Trump administration’s unpredictable implementation of a broad range of import tax increases. There is a general expectation that the tariffs will lead to increased inflation and reduced employment, but the extent of these impacts remains uncertain. The uncertainty is further complicated by President Donald Trump’s frequent changes and pauses in tariff policy, although his retreat from some of the more severe tariff increases has reduced the likelihood of a U.S. economic downturn. In his essay, Bostic discussed the various potential impacts of the tariffs, suggesting they might lead to one-time price increases that the central bank could overlook. He noted that, so far, there is little evidence that tariffs have significantly increased inflation, and the economy continues to perform well despite negative sentiment measures. Bostic also commented on the labor market, describing it as "broadly healthy," but acknowledged emerging signs of weakness, such as longer job search times for workers. However, he stated that these signs have so far had minimal impact on overall labor market outcomes. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.
