Bostic is at it again – suggests ‘totally comfortable’ with a November Fed pause

Greg had the news during the US session, a Wall Street Journal interview with Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic:

• September’s stronger-than-expected CPI and payroll reports suggest the need to be patient and possibly pause.

This is a bit of an important ICYMI. Like I said, Bostic was the first to sound the alarm earlier in this year that resulted in expectations for the FOMC going from 6, or 7, rate cuts this year, to their pausing all the way to Spet.
