Fed’s Harker: My forecast shows inflation coming up to 2.1-2.2% this year

Philadelphia Fed president, Patrick Harker, during a scheduled speech in Frankfurt this Tuesday, said that I was not supportive of the December rate hike.

Key quotes:

   “¢   My dot plots projection didn’t come down that much.
   “¢   But had ticked down growth rate forecast a little bit.  
   “¢   There was a general consensus to shorten the maturity of the balance sheet.
   “¢   So there would be room for a future twist if need.
   “¢   My forecast shows inflation coming up to 2.1-2.2% in 2019.
