I posted a heads-up earlier that we'd be hearing from Atlanta Federal Reserve President Dennis Lockhart at 2230GMT

Maybe he's had to go to the bathroom or something ... the speech is now due at 2300GMT.

I also posted links to his comments this week already, today's are unlikely to be much different:

  • Fed's Lockhart: Hike delay allows more time to evaluate whether shock coming to economy
  • Fed's Lockhart: Risks of waiting for initial hike are not significant
  • Fed's Lockhart: October is live meeting but will need time to evaluate volatility
