Inflation is cooling and at least one Federal Reserve official said he is “open” to rate cuts at the central bank’s next meeting in September.

Raphael Bostic, President of the Atlanta Fed and a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, which determines monetary policy, told the Financial Times he was open to cutting interest rates before the fourth quarter.
