Minutes also showed a divided fed on the future rate increase path
Mintues showed Brexit likely to cause "financial turbulence"
Fed Tarullo was largely dovish on regarding US economics, whilst being upbeat regarding brexit - holding several of the typical fed lines, but going out of his way to stress that the economy is not "running hot" and emphasised wanting to be more confident in the underlying inflation situation before rising rates with several quotes regarding the headline matter.
Tarullo also echo'd similarities from Dudley and Willaims yesterday regarding Brexit, emphasising the "uncertainty", however, he followed Williams' tune on the margin by being quite upbeat, saying the global economy was "well prepared" and the US response had gone "as expected".
Fed Dudley interestingly went out of his way to mention the low level of UST yields, citing them to be a "concern".
