Fed's Hammack says markets appeared strained however are functioning

Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack

  • Markets look strained but are functioning
  • We may move much more quickly when the Fed does adjust rates.
  • Monetary policy is modestly restrictive right now.
  • unclear that removing SLR constraint adds to risk capacity.
  • desk stands ready to engage in money markets if needed but we have been seeing seeing markets work themselves out.
  • I prefer to wait than move in the wrong direction with rates.

Imagine trying to set monetary policy in the Trump-indiced chaos
