MNI BRIEF: Fed’s Barkin On March Rate Cut-Let’s See The Data

Federal Reserve
RICHMOND, VA.

“I don’t prejudge meetings – certainly not the meeting after the next meeting,” he said. “What I’m looking for is conviction that inflation is coming back to our target. Let’s see how the data plays out.” (See MNI INTERVIEW: Fed To Ease Modestly In '24-Ex-NY Fed's Benigno)
