The two takeaways from the two separate speeches were:
Kansas City Fed President Esther George said if the data on the US economy hold up, there's likely to be an opportunity to raise rates again in 2017
Dallas Fed Pres. Robert Kaplan said, on the other hand, the Bank should be more patient and wait for signs of inflation before hiking rates again this year
Yeah, thanks for that.

- Fed's Kaplan: Confident US will grow in excess of 2% this year
