Fed’s Bostic sees one rate cut in 2025 because it will take 6 months to assess tariffs’ economic impact

The range of possibilities for what could happen to the U.S. economy is still too wide for the Federal Reserve to be able to make any definitive decisions about its future, according to Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic.
