Fed's Kaplan "Open-minded" on one more rate increase this year in December

Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan was out on the wires in the last hours, with key quotes, via Reuters, found below:

  • Oil industry in "fragile equilibrium" of around $50 a barrel
  • U.S. facing "net negative" growth in workforce as retirements exceed population growth, needs immigration policy to expand labor supply
  • Bounceback in economic growth from Harvey will be equal to or greater than any near-term slowdown
  • Slow growth magnifying burden of u.s. unfunded liabilities, growing entitlement costs
  • Possible shortage of construction workers in Houston may lead to "healthy" discussion of immigration policy
  • "Open-minded" on one more rate increase this year in December, though has not made a decision
  • "Structural" headwinds, including technology, may be holding inflation down
  • Not particularly in favor of tax cut funded by more debt, but would see tax reform as helpful
  • China remains a danger spot for global economy given rising debt levels
  • Neutral rate may be as low as 2.25 pct, leaving fed "not as accommodative as people think"
