Economic and event calendar in Asia Thursday, February 5, 2026 – Fed’s Cook speaking

Forex Short News

Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook will be speaking in Miami on her economic and policy outlook.

  • Cook has tended to align with the Fed’s consensus, data-dependent approach rather than staking out an overtly hawkish or dovish position. On rate decisions, she has usually voted with the centre of the Committee.

  • Cook has been firm that inflation must be controlled, but she places slightly more weight than some peers on labour-market outcomes.
