FED: As the Shelton and Waller confirmation hearings get underway, this from
CNBC: "CNBC's Steve Liesman reports sources tell CNBC that Fed Chairman Jerome
Powell's comments to Congress on diversity on the Fed are being misinterpreted."
- As in, Powell's comments were broadly seen as a wink and a nod favourable to
Shelton, but Liesman said that people familiar with Powell's thinking said
'maybe not'.
- Powell had said: ""It's critical to have diverse perspectives...I really think
we do, though. We have had plenty of dissent at the Fed over the years."
