Dallas Fed president Robert Kaplan speaking in CNBC interview

  • Looking for three rate hikes in 2018
  • Sees unemployment rate of below 4% in 2018
  • Job market is tightening, we may be overshooting full employment
  • Tough to fill skilled worker jobs
  • US oil drilling is going up

Nothing new it seems from Kaplan. The base case of 3 rate hikes remains the Fed's playbook, so we'll see if things start to change.

Kaplan is not on the voting board this year. In case you need a reminder on who is, you can refer to this post here.
