Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President Alberto Musalem joins Bloomberg Open Interest to discuss the state of the US economy and labor market as the central bank contends with missing data amid the government shutdown. Musalem also discusses the rate path forward, saying it's "very important" for the Fed to move forward "with caution," adding there is "limited room" to cut rates further.
