WEEKS AHEAD: 07/03 Estimated Day for
Release of FOMC Meeting June 12--13 Minutes
*FOMC 2018 Voting Members: Chairperson
Jerome Powell, as of 02/05/18, and ALL members of the FOMC Board of
Governors are permanent voters: That includes Randall Quarles, & Lael
Brainard, plus New York Fed Pres, currently William
Dudley, who plans on retiring in 2018.:New, revolving Regional Fed Bank
leaders who are voters for 2018: Atlanta Fed Pres. Raphael Bostic, new in August
2017 (replaced Dennis Lockhart), former McKinsey exec Thomas Barkin, who
assumed the title of Pres of Richmond Fed on 01/01/18, plus veterans
John Williams, who left San Francisco Fed to become Pres of NY
Fed. That hole in the San Francisco Fed's hierarchy results in Esther George--a vrey vocal
hawk--becoming a voting member of the FOMC. Cleveland Fed's Loretta Mester,
another very vocal hawk who wants rates raised at a quicker pace because
she believes the Fed has, already, fallen behind the curve. Richmond
wound up with an opening, after Jeff Lacker resigned, in early April 2017, when it became
known he'd leaked sensitive FOMC discussions to Medley Advisors. Richmond operated with an
Interim Pres, Mark L Mullinix, while searching for a new leader. Dissenters at the Dec.
2017 Meeting, Neel Kashkari & Charles Evans, are no longer voters in 2018. Hawk Mester
votes in 2018.. |
