Fed's Lockhart Says no Rush to Remove 'considerable Time' From Statement

Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Dennis Lockhart said on Monday he saw no rush to remove language from the central bank's policy statement that there remains a "considerable time" before the first interest rate increase. Though the U.S. economy continues to grow and job growth has been sustained, he said he will watch the behavior of prices in coming months and wants to be confident inflation will rise to the Fed's two percent target before committing to an initial rate increase.
