President of the Chicago branch of the Federal Reserve, Charles Evans, spoke in Auckland, New Zealand today, at a CFA Society presentation luncheon
- Headlines here: Fed's Evans: Should be a very shallow rate hike path
- He later spoke further to the media, here: More from Fed's Evans: Fine to raise rates by year end if data stays firm
Bloomberg and Reuters have some recaps of both appearances if you'd like more:
- Bloomberg: Evans Wants Fed to Update Inflation Message When It Hikes Again
- Reuters: Fed's Evans says 'less concerned' on timing of next rate hike than path
- Reuters again: Fed's Evans says 'fine' with December hike if data stays firm
Evans didn't add much to the debate ... December looks more likely than November, but even December is still an unknown.
