Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic emphasized a patient approach to monetary policy in light of heightened uncertainty across trade, fiscal, and regulatory fronts. In an essay published today, Bostic noted that the US economy remains “broadly healthy”, with inflation still above target but showing limited response—so far—from rising tariffs. “I am in no hurry to adjust our policy stance,” he wrote.
