Comments from Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren:
- Good reasons to expect tightening to be gradual
- US labor market has 'largely' met FOMC conditions
- Reasonable confidence on inflation not as clear cut
- Weaker global growth may dim outlook for US jobs
- A much weaker global economy increases uncertainty
- Long-run Fed funds may be lower than previous cycle
Rosengren is a voter in 2016. He has a reputation as a dove but he's scaled it back in recent years.
Update:
- Oil fall could bring less US inflationary pressure
- China, Europe, Japan economic weakness could depress inflation
- Surprised by lower US productivity, hopes it rebounds
- Fed missing on inflation mandate a reason to keep rates 'fairly' low
