Fed's Harker: Fed should plan to raise interest rates twice more this year

Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker crossed the wires, via Reuters, noting that the Federal Reserve should plan to raise interest rates twice more this year so to avoid getting behind the curve but also to avoid rushing its tightening plans.
