Comments from Evans in his Q&A:

  • Own view of data means it is unlikely Fed should raise rates before 2016
  • Economic data has come in weaker than had expected back in March
  • Fed needs to hit 2% inflation target, not worry about overshooting
  • If Fed raises rates this year, it's important it's a shallow increase
  • Would see stronger wage growth if resource slack was diminished

Dovish comments from a dove but he concedes that rates are probably going higher. That's an indication he knows which way the room is leaning.
