Federal Reserve of Minneapolis head Kocherlakota taking audience questions now:

  • Tighter fed policy favours a stronger dollar

more to come (bet ya can't wait!)

  • Trade estimates will result in negative Q1 GDP
  • Weak Q1 should give the Federal Reserve pause on raising rates
  • Maximum employment can help address income inequality
