More from Federal Reserve's Robert Kaplan as he speaks in Frankfurt, Germany

  • Believes accommodation should be removed patiently, gradually
  • Sees further labour-market tightening in 2018
  • Must avoid market imbalances building up
  • Market volatility will not in itself cause a change in my views
  • Highly vigilant about market volatility
  • No spillovers from market rout for now
  • Some flattening of the yield curve doesn't worry me

His earlier comments on the US economy are here. Nothing substantial to add to the Fed picture from his comments here.

Again, another reminder that Kaplan is not on the voting board this year, so 'his views' are less important but still you know, he's a Fed representative.
