Austan Goolsbee is the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago .

He says the Fed will lower interest rates in September for the first time in more than four years .

The biggest puzzle has been persistently high inflation rate on shelter and housing, he says.

Bank of America's CEO said there's a risk if the Fed does not start to move rates down.

Austan Goolsbee says a recession is not off the table for the Fed .

He says corporate markups are not a primary contributor to inflation.

But he says tariffs are not inflationary, but inflationary is about the rate of growth of prices.

He also says a one -time increase in costs will raise prices, but is not an extended inflationary thing.
