NEW YORK, May 4 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said Monday that there’s more agreement on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee than last week’s policy vote suggests.
Williams, speaking in New York, said it’s natural to see more disagreement between policymakers in times of uncertainty and change. But he added that even with all of the opposing votes last week against the Fed retaining an easing bias, “I would say there was far more agreement about where policy is today” than that vote indicates.
