(Reuters) - The Federal Reserve might still raise U.S. interest rates twice this year, New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley said on Friday.

Two rate hikes remain a "reasonable expectation" despite hiring data for April that was lower than investors expected, Dudley said in an interview with the New York Times.
