FED: Apologies but had some bum info on timing for Cleveland's Mester (2020
voter, hawk) interview on Yahoo Finance, looks like will be only Friday
1130ET/1630BST.
- Kaplan (neutral, 2020 vote) probably the most interesting to hear from today;
unlike Kaplan, we know Mester has made comments since the July FOMC, and said
that a hold rather than a cut at that meeting would have been her 'preferred
strategy' but was a 'close call'.
- Also Kaplan occupies the middle ground.
- Pre-FOMC he talked about possibly supporting a 'tactical, modest, restrained,
limited' rate cut; said projected a flat path for rates in the June dot plot.
He's one of the members who has expressed concern about yield curve inversion,
despite otherwise leaning hawkish.
