Atlanta Fed President Denis Lockhart said yesterday “there is sufficient momentum evidenced by the economic data to justify a further step at one of the coming meetings, possibly as early as the meeting scheduled for end of April,” Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said U.S. inflation was bound to increase significantly after the price of oil bottoms out. The remarks of many Feb officials indicate the consensus within Fed that despite the weak global economy, the American economy is growing unaffectedly. It is actually likely that Fed will raise interest rates more quickly especially according to Lacker’s opinion “U.S. inflation was bound to increase significantly after the price of oil bottoms out.”
