Its a big Tuesday ahead for Federal Reserve speakers –

Speakers from the Federal Open Market Committee (and other Fed officials)  are all during Europe and US time, here is the schedule if you want to keep it handy.

  • 1225 GMT Michael Held, EVP at the NY Fed speaks on LIBOR
  • 1315 Federal Reserve Bank of NY President Williams speaks from a prepared text at a UST Market conference. Not expecting a Q&A follow up to this.
  • 1330 GMT President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Harker speaks on … machine learning! Which may not yield much on his outlook for the economy nor policy, but there is a Q&A to follow which might be more fruitful.
  • 1540 GMT Federal Reserve Vice Chair Clarida moderates a panel discussion, the topic is ‘Future considerations for Treasury market resilience’.
  • 1700 GMT Williams again, this is a ‘fireside chat’ event, so basically a Q&A. Williams is rarely shy on expressing his views on the economy and policy.
  • 1700 GMT and also 1900 GMT Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Quarles will be speaking. First on regulation, the second on financial stability. Both will feature Q&A.
The boss man is getting the day off by the looks of it …
