Fed's Evans answers questions in Washington:

  • There is a 'reasonably high hurdle' to action in April FOMC
  • Doesn't have a lot of confidence in 2% inflation in 2016
  • 'Monthly data are softer than I was expecting'
  • Appropriate to market down forecasts due to headwinds abroad
  • Might get three hikes his year depending on data

Sounds like he's offering lip services to hikes and has no belief they're coming.
