#BTC🔥🔥🔥🔥 #美联储会议 Fed voting committee turns from dove to hawk? Bostic: Expected to cut interest rates only once this year
Although the latest dot plot from the Federal Reserve shows that Fed officials expect to cut interest rates three times this year, the differences of opinion among different officials are very obvious.
On Friday Eastern Time, Bostic, the Federal Reserve's 2024 voting committee and Atlanta Fed President, said that because U.S. inflation has not cooled as fast as expected, his expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year have dropped to one from the previous two.
