  • door is open for a rate cut if needed
  • starting to see signs of a pick up in activity
  • we are in a nice position to observe data
  • lower exchange rate is adding stimulus
  • monetary policy is already very stimulatory

  • market reaction to rate decision was not a surprise
  • key message is rates will be low for a long period

I bolded that last one, Orr designating it his key message.

More:

  • Unconventional policy is possible but not core forecast
  • biggest downside risk is global uncertainty
