NEW YORK, May 14 (Reuters) - Point72 Asset Management’s founder, Steven Cohen, said on Wednesday he believes the U.S. economy will very likely slow down because of tariff threats, but even so the Federal Reserve will not act immediately to cut interest rates.

“We don't think the Fed's going to act right away, because they're still going to be worried about inflation from tariffs,” he said at the Sohn investment conference in New York. Cohen said he expects GDP to grow by 1.5% next year.
