Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said the realignment of prices in response to trade measures and other policies is likely to be prolonged, warning it may take a year or longer before the adjustments are completed. Bostic added that the U.S. labour market remains healthy with no signs of significant deterioration, but he expects a spell of higher inflation readings in the interim. Given these dynamics, he indicated that the current juncture is not the right time for the Fed to alter its policy stance.
