Kocherlakota speaking on CNBC:

  • Doesn't see near term hike as appropriate unless there's a big change in the data between now and September
  • Right now situation would call for consideration for more easing
  • If you lift off now given outlook, credibility could slide
  • Some equity volatility is not a major concern
  • Risks to stability from low rates need to be monitored
  • Market vol matters as a signal not cause and area tail risk to US outlook
  • Market moves are an argument for not being hasty in taking away accommodation
  • Inflation remains very low
  • Barring a big change in data between now and September, I don't see a near-term hike as appropriate
  • Right now situation would call for consideration of more easing
  • Some equity volatility is not a major concern
  • Market volatility matters as a signal, not a cause
  • Wants US to get back to 3% growth, H1 was 2%
  • Sees US returning to 3% growth in 2016
Kocherlakota is an ultra-dove.
