Yellen crossing the wires (dollar strength) "Uncertainties strengthen case for gradual rate hikes" - RTR

Yellen is crossing the wires and comments so far as follows, (that are centralist/dovish . . .but seeing some dollar strength):

-          Gradual Approach To Hikes Particularly Appropriate In Light Of Subdued Inflation, Low Neutral Rate

-          Imprudent To Leave Rates On Hold Until Inflation Reaches 2%

-          Can Still Achieve 2% Target Goal Even If Fed Is Underestimating Slack Or Overestimating Inflation Expectations

-          Low Inflation Likely Due To Transitory Factors, Sees Many Uncertainties

-          Downward Pressure On Inflation Could Prove Unexpectedly Persistent

-          'Considerable' Odds That Inflation Won't Stabilize At 2% Over Next Few Years

-          Risk That Inflation Expectations Are Not As Well-Anchored As They Appear

-          Data Suggests Labour Mkt Is Healthy, Without Substantial Slack & Not Overheated

-          Evidence On Labour Mkt Not Definitive, Says Fed Must Be 'Open-Minded
