| 2 Fed should cut interest rates, Kocherlakota says: "The Federal Reserve should cut interest rates below their current near-zero levels, a top U.S. central banker said on Thursday, staking out a more strongly dovish position on monetary policy than any of his fellow policymakers." | Dovish | October 8, 2015 | October 8, 2015 |
| 3 Kocherlakota Says Low Inflation Warrants Further Fed Stimulus: ""Given the inflation outlook, given how low inflation is expected to be, to ensure the credibility of our inflation target, taking a more accommodative stance in September would have been totally justified," Kocherlakota said in the interview, broadcast Saturday. He steps down from the Fed on Dec. 31 and is not a voting member of the FOMC this year." | Dovish | September 29, 2015 | October 3, 2015 |
