*FOMC 2018 Voting Members: Chairperson
Jerome Powell, as of 02/05/18, and ALL members of the FOMC Board of
Governors are permanent voters: That includes Randall Quarles, & Lael
Brainard, plus New York Fed Pres, currently William
Dudley, who plans on retiring in 2018.:New, revolving Regional Fed Bank
leaders who are voters for 2018: Atlanta Fed Pres. Raphael Bostic, new in August
2017 (replaced Dennis Lockhart), former McKinsey exec Thomas Barkin, who
assumed the title of Pres of Richmond Fed on 01/01/18, plus veterans
John Williams, who became Pres of the San Francisco Fed after
Janet Yellen became Fed Chairperson, and Cleveland Fed's Loretta Mester, a very
vocal hawk who wants rates raised at a quicker pace because she believes the Fed
has, already, fallen behind the curve. Richmond wound up with an
opening, after Jeff Lacker resigned, in early April 2017, when it became known he'd leaked
sensitive FOMC discussions to Medley Advisors. Richmond operated with an Interim Pres,
Mark L Mullinix, while searching for a new leader. Dissenters at the Dec. 2017 Meeting,
Neel Kashkari & Charles Evans, are no longer voters in 2018. Hawk Mester votes in
2018.. |
