15:05BST/10:05EDT: Fed’s Barr (voter) will speak on housing and community development. The subject of his talk implies risks that Barr will not comment on monetary policy. Speaking in early September, before the FOMC confab, Barr said he would support raising rates if inflation does not moderate sufficiently, adding that inflation remains too high, while the economy is solid and the labour market stable. Barr also said that clearer evidence of inflation returning toward 2% would allow more time to assess the policy stance.

If demand overheating is the through line, the rate response should be more aggressive and front-loaded.
