Fed's Musalem: tariff ruling could mean uncertainty

Feb 20 (Reuters) - ‌St. ​Louis ​Federal Reserve President Alberto Musalem on ‌Friday said that if the ⁠new tariffs President Donald Trump ‌announced after the ‌Supreme Court threw out some of his global ​tariffs are essentially one-for-one replacements, his economic ⁠forecast would be overall unchanged, but ​he said he would be talking to CEOs to ​see how they ‌are managing any uncertainty.

"It is possible that ⁠as companies begin to think of how they're ⁠going to transition from paying ​IEEPA tariffs to paying a different kind of tariffs, that could ‌introduce a period of uncertainty there for ‌companies," Musalem told ⁠Fox Business ‌Network's Edward ​Lawrence.
