Bostic comments

  • No urgency to make policy changes 'just to run to a number'

  • Fed needs to strongly signal that it's not locked into a trajectory

  • Policy could move in either direction

  • Open to cut if downside risks all come to bear

  • Comfortable 'hanging out' near neutral level while the Fed takes stock of how the economy is responding to higher rates

  • Hearing from businesses across the board that they have become cautious about 2019

  • Evolution of economy should dictate Fed's next move

More dovish stuff. There's going to be a steady stream of this in the week ahead with many FOMC member slated to speak.

The commentary from Evans and Bostic today is weighing on the US dollar and USD/JPY is now down to 108.58 from 108.90 early in New York trade.
