Fed's Williams says more agreement on FOMC than dissents imply

NEW YORK, ‌May ​4 (Reuters) - ​Federal Reserve Bank of New ‌York President John Williams ⁠said Monday that there’s ‌more agreement on ‌the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee than last ​week’s policy vote suggests.

Williams, speaking in ⁠New York, said it’s natural ​to see more disagreement between policymakers in ​times of uncertainty ‌and change. But he added that ⁠even with all of the opposing votes ⁠last week against the ​Fed retaining an easing bias, “I would say there was ‌far more agreement about where policy is ‌today” than ⁠that vote ‌indicates.
