Fed's Kaplan: Need to be careful about raising rates further if 10-year Treasury yield stays where it is

Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan continues to give his remarks, via Reuters, with the key quotes found below:

  • Fed should begin trimming balance sheet sometime before the end of 2017
  • Technology, globalization is holding down U.S. inflation
  • Should expect that as labor markets get tighter, eventually there will be upward price pressures
  • Need to remove some amount of accommodation, then be patient to wait to see signs of inflation
  • Believes recent weak inflation will turn out to be transitory, wants to see more evidence
  • Need to be careful about raising rates further if 10-year Treasury yield stays where it is
  • Universal income should be studied, but hopeful it won't be necessary
