Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart said he favors raising interest rates this month, adding to signs that the central bank will proceed with its first increase since 2006. Absent information that drastically changes the economic picture and outlook, I feel the case for liftoff is compelling, Lockhart said in the text of remarks Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Federal Open Market Committee is considering tightening policy at its next meeting Dec. 15-16 as the economy expands and the labor market ...

Thanks for having me back at the Broward Workshop. The next meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, the body that sets monetary policy for the country, is two weeks away. It is a much-anticipated meeting, and there is a chance it will be historic in character. I say "historic" because I expect the Committee to consider, as it has in recent meetings, the first increase in the policy interest rate in nearly 10 years. And it's been seven years since the federal funds rate was first set at effectively zero. The public has ...

The U.S. Federal Reserve may be heading for a "slow ... halting" effort to raise interest rates after it begins its first tightening cycle in about a decade, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said on Thursday. Speaking less than a month before the U.S. central bank is widely expected to raise rates from the current near-zero level, Lockhart said he is "comfortable with moving off zero soon," barring an unexpected downturn in the economic outlook The Fed's targets for the U.S. labor market have largely been met and its price goals ...

Today I will offer a few thoughts on the position of the economy, the stance of interest-rate policy, and what I expect in a normalization phase. As always, these will be my personal views and may not reflect those of my colleagues here or other colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or in the Federal Reserve System. We are four weeks away from the December meeting of the FOMC. I won't predict the outcome. There are more data points to evaluate over the next four weeks. I will be processing that information to see ...

Thank you for inviting me to speak tonight. I want to congratulate the organizing committee from the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of Canada, the Cleveland Fed, and my own Atlanta Fed Research Department for putting on this excellent conference. I understand that Thomas Jordan was a founding father of this conference, which started many years ago as a forum to discuss issues of joint interest to our respective banks. I'm sure, Thomas, you are justifiably proud of what you helped establish. I take special note of the fact that the ...

More comments from Lockhart Comes with a caveat though; Says December will have a lot more data Repeats that little over 100k job gains a month is enough to lower unemployment Markets seem to be misaligned with Fed on liftoff Doesn't think misalignment is too serious The focus is on an orderly process on a hike that would not then be reversed in short order FOMC's data dependant approach is sound with few alternative

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has a travel and tourism advisory council involving executives from tourism bureaus, the hospitality industry, and theme park operators. Tourism is an important industry across the Southeast, especially in Florida, as you might expect. I met with our advisory council on September 30. I learned that the tourism sector is strong. I also learned that there are experiments under way to marry actual roller coaster rides with virtual reality, sometimes called augmented reality. The idea is the rider will ...

Did he mime it? Dennis 'Milli Vanilli' Lockhart? I digress: Federal Reserve isn't able to measure inflation perfectly Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal provides a cushion from deflation Federal Reserve focused on domestic economy, including exports Trade deals likely to be a positive for the US economy Comfortable with the idea the Federal Reserve will raise rates this year Says feels close to timing for Fed liftoff
