NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Thomas Barkin said Thursday it’s too soon to say when the central bank will be able to cut rates.

“I don’t pre-judge meetings” as there is more data to see to take stock of how much inflation is moderating, Barkin told reporters after a speech at the Economic Club of New York. (Reporting by Michael S. Derby)
