🚨 Fed Warning: The "Two-Cut" Dream is Fading
Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic just delivered a reality check to the markets: Two rate cuts in 2026 are no longer the baseline. As inflation proves more "stubborn" than anticipated, Bostic is signaling a much slower path toward easing. Here is what you need to know:
The Core Issues
Sticky Inflation: Price drops in housing and services have stalled, keeping the Fed’s 2% target out of reach. $ETH
The Tariff Factor: Bostic warns that new trade policies will keep consumer prices elevated through the first half of the year. $SPK
Economic Strength: With GDP growth remaining resilient, the Fed feels no pressure to "save" the economy with lower rates. $BIFI
The Outlook
Bostic is opting for extreme patience, suggesting
the Fed might only cut once—or not at all—this year. For now, the "higher for longer" era is staying put as the central bank waits for the data to cooperate.
"We should not be hasty to call the beast slain." — Raphael Bostic
