Shifting tariffs and other policies have created a fog of uncertainty, causing the economy in to take a pause, said Raphael Bostic, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, speaking at an Emory University economics banquet on Monday evening. Bostic used the analogy of driving into fog, when a motorist would slow down or pull over to wait for it to clear up. “I think the fog has just gotten really, really thick. It’s very hard to see very far into the future. And so that means for me, I want to pull over,” Bostic said. President Donald Trump has pressured the Fed to cut interest rates, but Bostic cautioned it would be imprudent to make bold moves amid the uncertainty. More: https://lnkd.in/eae6dKgH

Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kai Ryssdal on Marketplace by APM to talk about the latest inflation data, the macroeconomic outlook, and gauging the impact of tariffs and uncertainty. As I shared with Kai, the current environment calls for a cautious approach. Although the introduction of tariffs may put upward pressure on prices and our business contacts are reporting greater concern about recession, there's still a lot to play out. Some of those forces might be stronger or weaker than expected, so the current environment might not be the environment tomorrow. When you're driving in a fog, sometimes the best thing to do is slow down or pull over and wait.
