US Federal Reserve member Charles Evans made many statements, the most prominent of which were:
- The Fed needs to see clear signs of rising inflation before raising rates again.
- It is appropriate for the FED to follow the policy of caution and gradually hike.
- I see a rise in interest rate to 2.7% by the end of 2019 is normal.
- Concern about the weakness dominates inflation expectations.
- The interest rate should not be raised before the growth of inflation is sustained.
- Recent data support rising inflation soon to 2%.
- We are confident that the current monetary policy is in line with the situation.
- I support a third rate hike during the next few meetings.
- I want first to see more of the momentum of inflation growth before raising interest rates again.
- We may wait a few months before the inflation outlook changes.
