Fed's Bostic open to September rate cut, FT reports
"I'm open to something happening in terms of us moving before the fourth quarter," Bostic told the newspaper. Bostic's comments are a step ahead of his comments earlier this week where he said he wants to see "a little more data" before he's ready to support lowering interest rates. U.S. consumer prices rose moderately in July and the annual increase in inflation slowed to below 3% for the first time in nearly 3-1/2 years, opening the door wider for the Federal Reserve to cut rates next month.
