NEW YORK, Dec 4 (Reuters) - St. Louis Federal Reserve President Alberto Musalem said on Wednesday he's not ready to say what he thinks the U.S. central bank should do at its policy meeting later this month.
"I'm keeping all my options open" and will look at the range of incoming data before deciding whether interest rates need to come down again at the Dec. 17-18 meeting, Musalem said at a Bloomberg monetary policy conference. (Reporting by Michael S. Derby; Editing by Paul Simao)
