Bostic: Fed should be cautious if yield curve continues to flatten

"I am going to do all I can to make sure our policy does not invert the yield curve explicitly. We will be watching that," Bostic said on Monday. "If we got close to it I would argue strongly that we should be extremely cautious" with further rate increases. He said his "base case" was for two to three rate increases in 2018, compared to a median of three among his colleagues.
