Hawkish comments from Lacker:
- There was "a pretty substantial amount" of support for June hike at last FOMC meeting
- Does not see a problem of hiking rates and then moving back to zero if needed
- If it were up to him, Fed would sell assets now
The minutes said 'several' members wanted hike.
You can't take Lacker seriously. What he means is that he supports it a lot and he's very vocal. At best there will be 2-3 votes for a June hike.
