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.
