Fed's Moskow still seeing slack

Chicago Fed President Michael Moskow said excess labor and production capacity are keeping inflation down. High oil prices haven't raised core prices yet either, though the trend bears watching. He also noted the number of workers losing jobs is still high despite some recent gains in payrolls, calling for policy ideas to aid their transition. He also sees no signs of wage growth. The comments back expectations of a measured rate-hike plan.
