Fed’s Bostic: I may support holding rates for about 8 to 10 months

Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said on Friday that monetary policy is in the right place given the economic outlook. He added he may support holding interest rates steady for about 8 to ten months. 

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Bostic mentioned that he does not see a recession ahead. “I welcome more moderate wage gains”.
