Unscheduled comments from Williams who said a June liftoff is ‘reasonable’ amid soft job gains in an interview with Bloomberg.
- June interest rate rise ‘probably a close call’
- ‘Wage and price data are still soft’
- US labor continuing ‘strong momentum’
Williams has a reputation as a dove but it’s not deserved and mostly because he’s from Yellen’s San Francisco Fed. This is inline with his recent rhetoric.
