WEEKS AHEAD: 12/21
BoJ MPC Meets
01/03/2018
FOMC Minutes of the Meeting Concluded on 12/13/17
*FOMC 2017 Voting Members: Four
governors on the FOMC are permanent voters: Janet Yellen, Randall Quarles, (Stanley
Fischer Resigned 10/13), Lael Brainard, Jay Powell. (Dan Tarullo was the 5th.vote at
evnominating one after July 4tery meeting but he resigned, too) Board Governors
still endure 3 vacancies, w/Trump concentrating his efforts on selecting the next Fed
Chairperson. NY Fed Pres.Wm Dudley also a permanent FOMC voting member. The rest of
the voters, in 2017, are 5 of the 11 regional Fed Pres.:New voters, for 2017:
Philly Fed Pres. Patrick Harker, Minneapolis Fed Pres Neel "Too Big to Fail"
Kashkari, Dallas Fed's Robert Kaplan, and Chicago Fed Pres Charles Evans.
Evans was last a voter in 2015. The other 3 are voters for the first time. Loretta Mester (Cleveland), Eric Rosengren (Boston), James Bullard
(St. Louis) and Esther George (Kansas City) have lost their votes in 2017. In an Oct.
speech, Harker said he would have preferred if rates had been raised at the prior FOMC
meeting. Kaplan was a 23-yr veteran of Goldman Sachs before winding up at Harvard Business
School. Mester & George are hawks that dissented at several 2016 meetings until the
2016 rate hike announced 12/14 but aren't voters in 2017. Richmond Fed's Jeff Lacker
resigned in early April 2017, when it became known he'd leaked sensitive FOMC discussions
to Medley Advisors. Richmond is operating with an Interim Pres, Mark L Mullinix, while the
search for a new leader continues. Raphael Bostic replaced Dennis
Lockhart at the Atlanta Fed, when Lockhart left. |
