Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said it would be advantageous if each Federal Open Market Committee meeting were scheduled to include two full months of economic data. The remark, relayed via First Squawk, touches on the timing gap between data releases and policy meetings. It matters because Fed officials are weighing how much incoming inflation and labor data to require before adjusting rates. Watch for whether other policymakers echo Barkin and whether the FOMC revisits its meeting calendar or data dependencies.
