Federal Reserve's Rosengren: Should hike if econ continues improvement

Comments from Boston Fed President Rosengren:

• Should hike rates if economic continues gradual improvement
• Hike should raise rates gradually after liftoff
• Gradual hikes may be needed to 'probe' labor market
• Domestic demand should help offset dollar strength
• Worst of Fed's Sept worries have no materialized
• Reasonable to ask whether current stimulus still needed
• Oct jobs report 'very good news'

Like Evans, Rosengren is a dove and he doesn't sound like he's gearing up to fight off the hawks. Instead, the latest communication sounds like a concerted effort from Fed speakers to push the likelihood of a hike higher without sparking speculation about a series of quick hikes.
