Fed heavyweights to speak this week

The Federal Reserve goes into its pre-FOMC blackout on Saturday but before then, there will be a steady stream of chatter from some of the policymakers.

Monday:

  • Kashkari

Tuesday:

  • Dudley
  • Powell's confirmation hearing
  • Harker

Wednesday:

  • Dudley
  • Yellen in Congress
  • Williams
  • Beige Book

Thursday

  • Quarles
  • Kaplan

Friday:

  • Bullard
  • Kaplan
  • Harker

The market remains ultra-confident in a December hike but is getting jitters about a pause afterwards.
