FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The recent stock market rout should not force the U.S. Federal Reserve to pause with interest rate hikes, and three increases this year remain the base case scenario, Dallas Fed President Robert S. Kaplan said on Thursday.

"At this point, I don't see this market adjustment spilling over into financial conditions, but I'll be watching carefully," Kaplan said.
