US Fed man on Reuters with comments in a prepared speech

  • will not say whether tightening cycle will begin at Dec meeting
  • need to "think carefully" whether time is right to begin to normalize mon pol
  • expects "quite gradual" pace of tightening after lift-off commences
  • risks of moving too quickly vs too slowly nearly balanced
  • inflation continues to run "well below" target, clouds economic outlook

This may not be hot off the press.. Headlines now gone from Reuters scrolling news

Nothing revelatory in the comments anyhow
