Yesterday, A number of Fed representatives continued to announce the need to raise interest rates in the U.S.

In the speech of Philadelphia's Fed President Patrick Harker, he said he expects another rate hike this year, followed by three increases in 2018. In his view, the next deadline for raising the Fed's rates in 2017 will be determined by the inflation data, but the Fed should be cautious when making such a decision.

Patrick Harker is confident that the Fed should also balance the upward and downward risks in determining the rate of rates, but holding rates for too long at low levels is accompanied by risks.

All these statements fully coincide with the opinion of Fed Chairman Janet Yellen, who also recently expressed the need for changes in the monetary policy.

Yesterday it also became known that US President Donald Trump will soon elect a candidate for the position of chairman of the Federal Reserve. Most recently, the number of applicants has been reduced to five. Trump stated that all the candidates sympathize with him and he treats them with deep respect.

Remember that the US president will meet the acting main Fed chair, Janet Yellen on Thursday.
