Fed's Lockhart says two rate increases still possible this year
VICTOR, IDAHO (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve may still raise rates as many as two time times this year depending on how the economy evolves, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said on Thursday.
Though urging a patient approach, "I still can imagine circumstances in which at least one policy move could take place and possibly two. Of course it will depend on the economy."
