A bonanza of Fed speakers are coming later

We get more Fed speak around 16.00 GMT as Phili Fed's Patrick Harker hosts a panel event in his home town. Clevelna'd Loretta Mester and Dennis Lockhart are in attendance.

Harker is an alternate voter this year, Mester (mild hawk) is a full vote,r and was another dissenter on Wednesday, so she could have some hefty comments for dollar bulls to grasp onto, like Rosengren. Lockhart is a sub next year.

At 16.30GMT Dallas Fed's Robert Kaplan is speaking in Houston.

Also coming at the top of this hour is Bundesbank and ECB man Jens Weidmann speaking at a finance event in France.
