Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Austan Goolsbee on Thursday reiterated that the central bank’s job is not to respond to stock market routs or political considerations

“The Fed’s out of the election business. The Fed is in the economic business,” Goolsbee said in an interview on Fox News, noting the Fed has been very clear about what economic data would motivate an interest-rate cut, a hold on policy, or even a rate hike.
