Two Federal Reserve officials who will vote on monetary policy next year offered different views on whether to raise interest rates now, highlighting both sides of a debate that drew a rare three hawkish dissents from policy makers last week.
Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said he would have been comfortable with a rate hike this month, while Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari, speaking at a separate event, questioned whether the global economy can sustain such a move. Both presidents will rotate into voting slots on the Federal Open Market Committee for the first time in 2017.
