HOUSTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve should only remove monetary policy accommodation in a gradual and patient manner, though it is making progress in achieving its employment and inflation goals, a top official with the U.S. central bank said on Wednesday.
Speaking with reporters after a presentation in Houston, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan added that it wouldn't be wise to speculate on the timing of the next rate move or the number of moves.
