Kashkari spoke with reporters

  • Doesn't think argument about hiking before balance sheet action is 'compelling'
  • Publishing a plan would give markets time to react
  • Says he hasn't had any discussions with Trump about any role

Kashkari has been all over the media-scape this week. We've heard all this before. He did add one interesting tidbit, saying that he wouldn't be surprised if markets give back post-election gains, but he's not concerned.

For a guy who was a top-appointed Republican, he sure doesn't sound like a Trump guy.
