Who was that guy “wary of the FOMC”, warning of “complacency”, “risk for more hawkish”?

Oh yeah … me:

The US labor market is not showing too many signs of slack and the indications to inflation are indicating some sort of upward pressure remains in the underlying (core).

That was pretty much the vibe out of the FOMC and Powell’s presser:
