Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic : " Uncertainty Calls for Caution, Humility in Policymaking " Minutes from January FOMC meeting: "Elevated uncertainty regarding the scope, timing, and potential economic effects of possible changes to trade, immigration, fiscal, and regulatory policies" St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem : "Risks of inflation staying above target as skewed to the upside" Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee : "The more it looks like a Covid -sized shock, the more nervous you should be".
