The Atlanta Fed president Bostic is speaking and saying:

  • Fed understands inflation is too high
  • Fed will act to bring it down
  • If supply – demand gaps narrow, price pressure will ease
  • The Fed will have to observe and adapt to new data
  • Will support moving rates more if inflation persists
  • 75 basis points is currently not in his basis case and would be a low probability.
  • Does support 50 basis point moves until the rate is raised to neutral

Bostic is not a voting member until 2024.
