Fed's Bostic expressed confidence in recent inflation data, suggesting that the Federal Reserve may consider a rate cut by the end of the year if economic conditions align with expectations. However, he emphasized the need for caution, highlighting the importance of confirming that the inflation trend is stable and warning against prematurely lowering rates, which could necessitate future hikes.

This view is somewhat in contrast to the expectations of the markets, which are currently pricing in between 1-2 cuts at a meeting as early as September. Bostic, on the other hand, is considered one of the most hawkish FOMC officials after Bowman. Markets picked up Bostic's speeches with a slight pullback from the daily highs.
