Today's Economic Data Highlights Or Lack Thereof

Although the Federal Reserve and therefore the fixed-income markets are closed for Columbus Day, we have the two Vice Chairmen, of the FOMC and the Board of Governors, both speaking today…
 
8:00: New York Fed President William Dudley speaks to the Institute of International Bankers…This is billed as a “Regulatory Dialogue,” and we suspect therefore that his remarks will not have much of a direct bearing on macroeconomic policy.  But we cannot rule this out entirely, especially as there will be questions and answers….
 
14:45: Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen speaks on “Financial Regulation and the Economy: Challenges for the Federal Reserve”…to the National Association of Business Economics in Denver.  This too is billed as a focus mainly on regulation, but with perhaps a bit more latitude for commenting on macro policy.  This is her first speech as Vice Chair of the Board.

Be careful and watch closely to see if they lie. You can tell because their lips will move.
