More from Fed's Mester - no evidence yield curve signalling a weak US economy

Loretta Mester, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, spoke earlier on monetary policy at Princeton University

• Fed's Mester still sees rising rates in '18 & '19, but tariffs add uncertainty

More now, this from the following audience Q&A

• No evidence that flat yield curve a signal of weak US economy
• Structural factors are at play

More:

• Gradual rate hikes means not hiking at every meeting
• US must get back to a sustainable fiscal situation, rising debt raises uncertainty for economy

There is no media Q&A scheduled at this event so I am not sutra if there will be more to come from Mester
