More from the Atlanta Fed leader

  • Still expecting one more interest rate hike before year-end but not wedded to it
  • Would be comfortable with hike but "the numbers have surprised us before"
  • Expects slow, steady hike path to continue in 2018
  • Details on tax plan will matter a lot, it's not clear if companies will reinvest or just reposition debt/equity

Bostic sounds like he's very close to the Fed consensus and core. These are some of his first comments as leader of the Atlanta Fed.
