Bowman was talking at a bankers’ convention in Colorado Springs, on Saturday. The Wall Avenue Journal (gated) report:
- the obvious weakening within the labor market outweighs the dangers of upper inflation to return
- expects to assist three fee cuts over the Federal Reserve’s three remaining conferences this yr

All final we have been listening to from Fed officers speaking up the prospect of a September FOMC fee reduce. Daly, Waller, Williams, Kashkari and others. Its on.
There are solely three extra conferences this yr:
