Fed's Mester: A recession could happen as rates rise – by fx_ross Fed DollarIndex
"I don't think it's a positive outcome, but it may happen," Mester said. "We may have a mild recession - I can't rule that out. I haven't penciled that in to my own projection, but when you have growth well below trend, it wouldn't take that much of a negative shock -- but again I don't think that's necessarily a positive thing, that's not what we are engineering to do.
