Feds Musalem: Recent consumer and housing data pose some downside risk

This is a pretty sharp shift in tone from Musalem, who was leaning hawkish very recently.

Outlook is for continued solid growth but recent data pose some downside risksPatient approach to policy will help achieve the Fed's goalsSays he would look closely at behavior of inflation expectations if dual goals come into conflictSo far, longer-term inflation expectations remain broadly anchoredExpects economy to continue to grow but would be concerned about signs of future weakening of consumption or dampening of business confidence

Musalem is a voter this year and it looks like recent dips in economic data and markets have him concerned. Last month he said he needed "assurances" inflation was returning to 2% target needed before further policy changes and that the inflation risk was higher than the jobs risk.
