Fed’s Williams Says Every Policy Meeting Is ‘Live’ for Rates

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said the US central bank’s policy meeting next month would be a “live” one, hinting at the possibility of an interest-rate move without saying what course of action he would support.

“I definitely think that every meeting is, from my perspective, live,” Williams said Wednesday in a CNBC interview. “We’re getting the risks more in balance,” he said, referring to the Fed’s two mandates of maximum employment and stable prices.
