Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic : " Uncertainty Calls for Caution, Humility in Policymaking " Minutes from January FOMC meeting: "Elevated uncertainty regarding the scope, timing, and potential economic effects of possible changes to trade, immigration, fiscal, and regulatory policies" St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem : "Risks of inflation staying above target as skewed to the upside" Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee : "The more it looks like a Covid -sized shock, the more nervous you should be".

That's wishful thinking considering tariffs and other intangibles hanging over the Fed 's head, Zandi said. "I just don't see the Fed cutting interest rates here until you get a better feel about inflation coming back to target," he said. "The economy came into 2025 in a pretty good spot. Feels like it's performing well. Should be able to weather a lot of storms. But it feels like there's a lot of storms coming.".
